SAFETY INFORMATION
Please note the following WARNINGS:
WARNING
This warning is presented for compliance with California Proposition 65 and other regulatory agencies and
only applies to the insulation in this product. This product contains refractory ceramic, refractory ceramic fiber
or fiberglass insulation, which can produce respirable dust or fibers during disassembly. Dust or fibers can
cause irritation and can aggravate preexisting respiratory diseases. Refractory ceramic and refractory
ceramic fibers (after reaching 1000°C) contain crystalline silica, which can cause lung damage (silicosis). The
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified refractory ceramic fiber and fiberglass as
possibly carcinogenic (Group 2B), and crystalline silica as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
The insulating materials can be located in the door, the hearth collar, in the chamber of the product or under
the hot plate top. Tests performed by the manufacturer indicate that there is no risk of exposure to dust or
respirable fibers resulting from operation of this product under normal conditions. However, there may be a
risk of exposure to respirable dust or fibers when repairing or maintaining the insulating materials, or when
otherwise disturbing them in a manner which causes release of dust or fibers. By using proper handling
procedures and protective equipment you can work safely with these insulating materials and minimize any
exposure. Refer to the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for information regarding proper
handling and recommended protective equipment. For additional MSDS copies, or additional information
concerning the handling of refractory ceramic products, please contact the Customer Service Department at
International at 1-800-438-4851.

Introduction
Intended Use
The Type 1500 furnaces are general laboratory and heat
treating furnace. For optimum element life, it is suggested
that this furnace be used for applications requiring
temperatures from 212°F (100°C) to 2192°F (1200°C). For
maximum element life, it is recommended to operate the
furnace at temperatures from 212°F (100°C) to 1950°F
(1066°C) for continuous use, or temperatures from
1950°F (1066°C) to 2192°F (1200°C) for intermittent use.
Continuous use is operating the furnace for more than 3
hours and intermittent use is operating the furnace for
less than 3 hours.
The unit consists of: 1) heating chamber, 2) a digital
controller and 3) a door interlock relay for user safety.
General Usage
Do not use this product for anything other than its intended
usage.
Principles of Operation
The furnace chamber is heated by four electric resistance
heaters which are embedded in a refractory material. The
chamber is insulated with ceramic fiber insulation. For
safety, a door switch is incorporated to remove power
from heating elements when door is opened. The furnace
chamber is supported by the control section which also
houses the electrical connections.

Unpacking
Visually check for any physical damage to the shipping
container. Inspect the equipment surfaces that are
adjacent to any damaged area. Unpack furnace from
box. The owner‟s manual and door handle are included
in the box. After unpacking the furnace, attach the door
handle and remove packing material from inside furnace
chamber. The furnace is supplied with one hearth plate.
The 120V models are not supplied with a power cord
because current requirements are too great to be
handled by ordinary power cords and standard wall
supply.
9
Installation
Caution
Be sure ambient temperature does not
exceed 104°F (40°C). The recommended ambient temperature is 17°C27°C. Ambient above this level may
result in damage to the controller.
Caution
Allow at least six inches of space
between the furnace and any
combustible surface. This permits the
heat from the case surface to escape
so as not to create a possible fire
hazard.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, this furnace
must be installed by a competent
electrician who ensures compatibility
among furnace specification, power
source and ground code requirements.
Site Selection
Install furnace on a sturdy surface and allow adequate
space for ventilation.
Electrical Connections
The electrical specifications are located on the specification
plate on the back of the furnace. Consult Thermo Scientific
if your electrical service is different than those listed on the
specification plate. Prior to connecting your Type 1500 furnace
to your electrical supply, be sure the two position power switch
is in the OFF position.
Your 120V Type 1500 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. For 120V supply connections, use 14 AWG
or larger wires suitable for at least 105°C (221°F).

Operation, All Models
Warning
To avoid personal injury do not use in the
presence of flammable or combustible
chemicals; fire or explosion may result.
This device contains components which
may ignite such materials.
Hot Surface
Caution: Avoid Contact. To avoid
burns, this furnace must not be
touched on the exterior or interior surfaces during use or for a period of time
after use.
Warning
Always wear safety glasses or a safety
shield and high temperature gloves
when loading or unloading the furnace.
Long sleeved, fire retardant clothing and
a fire retardant apron is also
recommended.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, the door safety
switch must be operating properly.
Power Switch
Both the ON/OFF power switch and the digital display will
illuminate when power is switched ON. The furnace will
begin to heat to the controller‟s current setpoint. (See the
instructions for your type of controller for information on
checking and setting the setpoint).
Cycle Light
The amber cycle light will illuminate whenever the power
is being applied to the heating elements. The cycle light
will flicker on/off as furnace reaches setpoint.
Door Safety Switches
The door safety switches remove power from the heating
elements when the door is opened. Open and close the
door a few times; note that the amber CYCLE light will be
out when door is open. This check must be done when
furnace is heating or when cycle light is illuminated. If this
condition is not true, consult the Troubleshooting section
before proceeding.
Digital Readout
The digital readout continuously displays chamber
temperature.

Eurotherm 3216 Controller
Operation
The single setpoint model w/OTP furnace controller is
a single setpoint controller, which provides a single
digital display to indicate the current chamber
temperature or setpoint temperature. This temperature
controller features sensor break protection, self-tuning
capability and over temperature protection (OTP) with
an additional OTP relay device.
Basic Operation
When the controller is turned ON it will perform a short
self-test and then display a default page. The
measured value (process value) is found in the upper
display and the setpoint is found in the lower display.
