Environmental Control Units
There are several environmental control units available for use with ARES-G2. Each system is used to con-
trol the sample temperature. The available units are described below.
NOTE
: See TRIOS online help for installation information regarding all of the environmental control units
Refer to the following sections for basic information regarding each specific environmental option. For
more details refer to the online help available in the TRIOS program.
Forced Convection Oven (FCO)
NOTE
: For FCO installation instructions, refer to TRIOS software online Help.
NOTE
: For optimum performance when running the oven above 250°C, make sure the lower geometry
baffle is between the inner and outer covers of the oven, and that the upper geometry baffle is just above the
top of the oven.
CAUTION: Make sure the purge air is flowing when the oven is on. Failure to do so could cause
damage to components inside the oven. The purge line connects to the back of the ARES-G2, to the
port labeled OVEN PURGE.
WARNING: When running the oven above 450°C, make sure the special heat
shield is installed on the transducer frame.
AVERTISSEMENT: Lorsque le four fonctionne à plus de 450° C, assurez-vous que
l'écran thermique spécial est installé sur le châssis du transducteur.
DANGER! Do not touch the outer cover when the oven is running, as the outer
covers can get very hot. Only touch the FCO handle, if necessary.
DANGER: Ne touchez pas le couvercle extérieur lorsque le four est en marche,
car les couvercles extérieurs peuvent devenir très chauds. Ne touchez le manche
du FCO que si c'est nécessaire.
DANGER! Do not remove the outer or inner covers of the oven, as high voltage
(200 VAC) exists inside the oven when the oven is on.
DANGER: Ne déposez pas les couvercles externes ou internes du four, en raison
de la présence d'une tension élevée (200 VCA) dans le four lorsqu'il est allumé.
DANGER! When opening the oven to load samples, the heaters and the gas flow-
ing through the heaters shut off. However, the geometries remain hot, as does
the air around the sample area. Therefore, show care when loading and trimming
your sample.
DANGER: Lorsque vous ouvrez le four pour la mise en place des échantillons,
les réchauffeurs et le gaz qui s'écoule à travers les réchauffeurs s'arrêtent.
Cependant, les géométries restent chaudes de même que l'air autour de la zone
de l'échantillon. Par conséquent, soyez prudent lors de la mise en place et de
l'ajustage de votre échantillon.
