Using the X-300 (basic)
Operation of
the safety
shield
The safety shield is the partition that stands between the furnace and the user
during a fusion, to protect against accidental burns when the red-hot
platinumware holders swing forward at the end of the cycle.
The shield must be manually pulled up to access the platinumware holders. Once
ready to start another fusion, the shield must be manually pulled down, until it
rests in lower and locked position.
Automatic lock operation
When the unit is first powered on, the safety shield automatically unlocks; it will
automatically lock when the shield is manually opened and eventually re-closed
before starting a fusion. The shield will unlock by itself again at the very end of the
fusion cycle, when the cooling fans stop.
A detector ensures that the shield is properly closed before allowing the fusion to
start.
Katanax recommends working in that default configuration, but it is also possible
(at the user’s risk) to entirely disable the locking mechanism if necessary. Refer to
Safety shield protection on page 45 for details.
Electronic unlocking
When the user opens the shield and re-closes it, the fusion instrument assumes
that it is ready to start a fusion, and so the shield locks. In case the user wants to
re-open the shield before the fusion is started, simply press on the “Shield unlock”
button:
The instrument will then indicate that the shield is unlocked and ready to be
opened by showing the icon with a green halo:
When the above icon is shown (with the green halo), you may push then pull the
shield open. It will re-lock when closed again.
