Unpacking

1. Visually check for any physical damage to the shipping container. Inspect the equipment surfaces

that are adjacent to any damaged area. Open the furnace door and remove packing material from

inside the furnace chamber. Vacuum the chamber prior to use to remove the insulation dust due to

shipment. Two shelves are supplied with furnace.

2. Retain the original packaging material if re-shipment is foreseen or required.

NOTE

The Type 30400 furnaces do not come with a power cord because current requirements

are too great to be handled by ordinary power cords and standard wall supply.

Installation

Site Selection:

Install furnace on a sturdy surface and allow space for ventilation.

CAUTION

Be sure ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C). Ambients above this level

may result in damage to the controller.

Allow at least six inches of space between the furnace and any vertical surface. This

permits the heat from furnace case to escape so as not to create a possible fire hazard.

The electrical specifications are located on the specification plate on the back of the furnace. Consult

Barnstead/Thermolyne if your electrical service is different than those listed on the specification plate.

Prior to connecting your Type 30400 furnace to your electrical supply, be sure the front power switch and

rear circuit breaker are in the OFF position.

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, this furnace must be installed by a competent, qualified

electrician who insures compatibility among furnace specification, power source and

ground code requirements.

Your 30400 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. (See Fig. 3C).

CAUTION

For supply connections, use 10 AWG or larger wires suitable for at least 90°C. Failure to

observe this caution could result in damage to furnace.
