Furnace Installation
Appearance
- Make sure that the housing on the furnace has heatshrink on it that does not restrict it from plugging into another housing.
- Make sure that the center of the CCQ furnace has been widened with some sort of tool so that the IP furnace a liner can easily slide through it.
- Check the instructions for CCQ furnace.
- Set the bottom stop on the carriage to insure that the furnaces will not hit the bottom of the frame.
- Check the model to find this position.
- If there is a CCQ furnace then install it first and make it flush with the bottom of the carriage
- With every furnace make sure that the furnace clamp bracket is in the correct orientation according to the model
- Also make sure that the furnace is held securely by the furnace clamp
- Install the CCS furnace and place the IP furnace spacer on top of it
- move the CCS furnace up until the two furnaces hold the spacers tightly
- use the furance alighment tool to set the position of the furnaces
- lock the furnaces into their final position
- With every furnace make sure that the furnace clamp bracket is in the correct orientation according to the model.
- Also make sure that the furnace is held securely by the furnace clamp and can not rotate, use ceramic fiber blanket 1" 6 lb 1260 C to fill the space.
- Install the CCS furnace
- Place the IP furnace spacer on top of the CCS and install the CCQ furnace.
- Move the CCQ furnace down until the two furnaces hold the spacers tightly.
- Use the furnace alignment tool to find and set the position of the furnaces.
- The alignment tool should not stick to anything, if does its either because the hole on the CCQ wasn't wide enough or the position of the furnaces is wrong.
- Lock the furnaces into their final position.
- Raise and lower the carriage to make sure that the position of the furnaces is correct.
- Test the carriage with a piece of the correct tubing/glass
Setting the Height for Top Stop on Carriage
- First place the alignment tool in the inlet port and move it down 2 millimeter.
- This needs to be accurate.
- Then raise the slide until the tool hits the top of the thermocouple in the CCS furnace, be careful not to push the alignment back up
- Lock the slide in place then tighten the slide stop.
