: Carbolite Gero accept no responsibility for any damage to software loaded onto
the computer by the operator and accept no responsibility for damage to the computer
or its software resulting from the use of any software or hardware not supplied by
Carbolite Gero.
Switch on the computer and monitor, and double click on the Carbolite Gero icon
displayed on the desktop screen. The Carbolite Gero Ash Fusibility Test' software will
load and be displayed with an image from the camera if the correct connections have
been established.
Note
: This software is Windows 7 embedded compatible; all normal Windows 7
functions apply.
When running the software the following may occur:
4.3.1
Communication Failure:
The connection between the furnace and the computer can be confirmed by checking
the "Camera Status" and "Controller Status" indicator in the lower left of the software
window. If the status is highlighted red "disconnected" for either the camera or the
controller, check the cable connections, then allow a few seconds for the computer to
identify the equipment, after which the software (not the computer) can be restarted. If
the correct connections have been made the status indicators should be green
indicating "connection".
4.4
Gas Set-Up
The gas sequence is started automatically by the furnace controller. The gas sequence
is as follows:
When the instrument switch is turned on the control system will open the 'purge' gas
solenoid valve and purge the work tube for a duration of 5 minutes, after which the
system will go into 'standby' mode and the green 'standby' indicator will illuminate.
Note
: In the event of a power failure during standby the 'purge' gas will flow continually
until the power is restored. When the power is restored the 'purge' gas timer will run for
5 minutes if the system was at the set standby temperature i.e. 815 °C, when the
power was interrupted.
If the system had not reached its standby temperature when the power is interrupted
the system will not purge again until the program is initiated.
When the controller program is started the 'purge' gas solenoid valve will open and
purge the work tube for 5 minutes (during the 5 minute dwell period of the program).
After the 5 minute purge period, the 'purge' gas is turned off and the test gas solenoid
valve is opened.
Note
: If the 'purge' gas supply is interrupted at the start of the test or during the test
an alarm buzzer will sound and a warning light will illuminate on the control panel. See
fig 11a. This alarm will continue until the furnace is turned off and the 'purge' gas supply
is restored. While the alarm is activated the control system will not allow introduction of
'reducing' gas. See also section 4.1.
Note
: During the test the yellow 'test in progress' light will illuminate on the control
panel and the green 'Standby Mode' indicator will go out. Do not open the furnace door
when the 'test in progress' light is illuminated. See section 1.0.
