8.0 Repairs and Replacements
8.6
Fuse Replacement
Access to internal fuses is by removal of the furnace side cover (see section 8.3). See
section 11.0 for details of fuses fitted.
8.7
Thermocouple Replacement
Disconnect the product from the supply and remove the product's element access panel.
Make a note of the thermocouple connections. The negative leg of the thermocouple
is marked blue. The "compensating" cable for 1700 & 1800 °C thermocouples is plain
copper.
Disconnect the thermocouple from its terminal block.
Undo the screw to release the thermocouple sheath; withdraw the sheath and shake out
any fragments of thermocouple.
Re-assemble with a new thermocouple observing the colour coding. Ensure that the
thermocouple is not twisted as it is being inserted and that the metal tag is bent back, or
the screw inserted, to grip the sheath.

Element Installation and Replacement
See section 8.2 - wearing a face mask is required.
See section 0.1 - Safety Warning - molybdenum disilicide.
Molybdenum disilicide elements form a glazed surface when heated.
Internal stresses can form through heating and cooling which render the
glaze fragile. The glaze can sometimes splinter into a shower of sharp
particles when handled. Always wear eye protection when handling the
elements.
Handle the heating elements with extreme care as they are very fragile. Also, avoid
touching the heating surface (the thin part of the element), as the material is
susceptible to corrosive damage from skin contact.
Initial Installation:
The elements, clips and braids are packed separately. Handle them carefully while
unpacking.
Fit the insulation blocks to the elements. Locate the clamps over the elements, and
tighten carefully. The length of element above the fixing clamps should be as follows:
