Installation
Caution
Be sure ambient temperature does not
exceed 104°F (40°C). The recom-
mended ambient temperature is 17°C-
27°C. Ambient above this level may
result in damage to the controller.
Caution
Allow at least six inches of space
between the furnace and any
combustible surface. This permits the
heat from the case surface to escape
so as not to create a possible fire
hazard.
Site Selection
Install furnace on a sturdy surface and allow adequate
space for ventilation.
Electrical Connections
The electrical specifications are located on the specification
plate on the back of the furnace. Consult Thermo Scientific
if your electrical service is different than those listed on the
specification plate. Prior to connecting your Type 1500 furnace
to your electrical supply, be sure the two position power switch
is in the OFF position.
Your 120V Type 1500 furnace may be wired either directly
through a conduit system or by using a power cord and
plug which conforms to the National Electrical Codes and
electrical code requirements of your area. The terminal
block to be used in wiring is located on the lower rear of
the furnace. For 120V supply connections, use 14 AWG
or larger wires suitable for at least 105°C (221°F).
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, this furnace
must be installed by a competent
electrician who ensures compatibility
among furnace specification, power
source and ground code requirements.
