Instructions for using a Thermowell |
|
Thermowell | |
Do not operate the Thermowell without an input controller such as the variac located at your desk. If the Thermowell is cold operate it for 3-5 minutes at 85 Volts to drive off adsorbed moisture. |
|
Do not put the thermowell directly on the desktop because of the heat it generates. A metal ring on a ring stand can be used to support it.
|
|
If operated at a line voltage of 110-120 Volts without a flask a surface temperature of 500 - 550 °C can be reached. This should be avoided. Do not leave your Thermowell unattended when in use. |
|
Carrying by the power cord or pulling on the power coard can pull the cord through the strain relief causing a short circuit. |
