Start-up
Furnace Operation
Thermo Scientific
5-3
Although the furnace heating chamber is insulated with Moldatherm, the furnace
should initially be started from cold at a slower dry out rate to drive the moisture
out and to minimize the effect of thermal shock.
4. Set the alarm at 825 °C (refer to
and UP550 manual).
5. Adjust the controller temperature set point to 800 °C.
6. Run the furnace for one hour.
7. Reset the alarm set point to 1720 °C.
8. Reset the temperature set point to 1700 °C.
9. Run furnace for one hour.
When the furnace reaches the setpoint temperature and if all Controls and
indications are working, the furnace is ready for use.
Furnace Operation
It is not necessary to repeat the procedure in
Section “Initial Startup Procedure”,
start from the room temperature,
the 800 °C heat-up is a system electrical and
mechanical checkout procedure.
1. Adjust the alarm and furnace temperature setpoints.
If the controls and indications are not working properly:
• Shut off the circuit breaker;
• Shut off all power to the system before attempting any
maintenance or repair.
• Refer to
The 1700 °C Box Furnace is tested for 1700 °C continuous-duty
operation. However, we recommend that continuous-duty
operation is less than 1700 °C to prolong the life of the fun ace
components, heating elements, thermocouple, and insulation.
