INSTALLATION

UNPACK AND SET-UP

1.Unpack the contents of the box. Remove the following materials:

A.Vent Tube - Remove from bubble wrap and insert in hole on top of furnace.

B.Calibration Table Kit - Remove plastic bag containing two tablets and save for future use.

C.Burnout Tray - Remove tray(s) from bubble wrap and install on the floor of the chamber.

2.Place the furnace in position allowing a minimum of 10 inches (25.4 cm) of air space on all sides.

3.Plug the power cord into a wall receptacle. First connect the power cord located on the rear of the furnace. For large furnaces a dedicated 20A, 115V circuit terminated with a NEMA 5-20 R type receptical is required. For medium furnaces a dedicated 15A, 115V curcuit terminated with a NEMA 5-15 R type receptical is the minimum requirement. A 20 AMP circuit is recommemnded.

4.The furnace is now ready for operation.

CAUTIONS:

DO NOT BLOCK VENT HOLE ON TOP OF THE FURNACE. Hot gases are vented through this hole.

TO SET TEMPERATURE SCALE (Figure 1)

115V furnaces are pre-set in degrees Fahrenheit.

1.Turn the power switch on. (If the furnace is already on, be sure it is in the idle mode - no program is running.) The chamber temperature appears on the Main Display and the °F light goes on.

2. Press

at the same time. The degree light switches to the opposite temperature scale.

VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

Vent fans must have a minimum capacity of 100 cubic feet per minute for each burn out furnace.

If a common hood is used for more than one burn out furnace, fan capacity must be 100 cubic feet per minute for each square foot of hood opening.

All hoods, vent pipe and ducting components must be constructed of non combustable materials and be installed in accordance with local building codes.

Maximum expected exhaust temperature is 1800°F (980°C).

Maximum expected exhaust waste heat is 5,100 BTU’S / Hour or 1,000 Watts.

INSTALLATION

TO TURN THE “BEEP” ON AND OFF (Figure 1)

When a program is completed, 20 "beeps" sound every 15 minutes to remind the operator that the material is ready to cast.

1.	Be sure the Infinity is in the idle mode - no program us running.
2.	Press and (while holding) press PROGRAM NUMBER to display the status of the "beep."
	"ON" indicates the beep is active. "OFF" indicates the beep is inactive.
3.	Use either of the	to turn the "beeps" on or off.

4.To return to the idle mode, wait 7 seconds or press STOP / START twice. (If STOP / START is pressed once, cycle starts.)

OPERATION

PROGRAM AND OPERATE - ONE STAGE PROGRAM (Figure 1)


1.	Turn the power switch on.
2.	Press PROGRAM NUMBER. Use		to display the desired program number (P1 - P30).
3.	Press ENTER / REVIEW to select the displayed PROGRAM NUMBER. STAGE 1 and NIGHT TIME
	(DELAYED START) lights turn on. Enter		to set the time required for the program to be completed and
	ready to cast (1 - 99hrs).
4.	Press ENTER / REVIEW. STAGE 1 light remains on, NIGHT TIME (DELAY START) light turns off and
	HEAT RATE light turns on. Enter		to select the heat rate required from 1°F - 30°F / min
	(1oC - 17oC / min) or "FULL" for the maximum heat rate.
5.	Press ENTER / REVIEW. STAGE 1 light remains on, HEAT RATE light turns off and TEMP light turns on.
	Enter	to select the temperature required up to the maximum of 2012°F (1100°C).
6.	Press ENTER / REVIEW. STAGE 1 light remains on, TEMP light turns off and HOLD TIME light turns on.
	Enter	to program the time needed to hold at above temperature. (0 - 4hrs).

7.For one stage, the furnace must be programmed not to use STAGE 2, 3 or 4. Follow these steps:

A.After completing step 6, press ENTER / REVIEW. STAGE 1 light turns off, STAGE 2 and HEAT RATE lights turn on.

B. Press Main Display shows ".....5, 4, 3, 2, 1,	COOL, NO." Select "NO" to
program the furnace not to use STAGE 2, 3 or	4.

8.All necessary information for this program is now entered.

9.To run the program immediately, press START / STOP.

10.To delay the start of the program to be ready to cast at the pre-set time (see Step 3), press NIGHT TIME (DELAY START).

NOTE : If NIGHT TIME (DELAY START) is pressed while a program is running, the time remaining for completion of the program will appear on the Main Display for 5 seconds.
