4.4 Remote alarm (optional)
The remote alarm option is a latched relay that is voltage-isolated from the
rest of the instrument. When an alarm condition occurs (either a major fail-
ure of the instrument, or loss of mains power during a processing run whilst
a battery backup unit is fitted) the alarm circuit closes, sounding the alarm.
A battery-powered remote alarm must be used if you require
the remote alarm to sound when the mains power fails.
Ensure that the instrument is turned ON and press any key to reset the alarm.
If mains power failed during a run, it may be necessary to put the ON/STOP
switch at the side of the instrument to STOP, and then to ON again.
The remote alarm will only operate during loss of mains power if a battery
backup unit is fitted. Your distributor can provide connection details for the
remote alarm.
The remote alarm connected to the instrument must be rated at less than 1
amp and a maximum of 50 Volts.
Connect the remote alarm to the alarm socket at the rear of the unit, using a
6.25 mm phono jack.
4.5 Fume control system
Fumes are exhausted through the activated carbon filter which must be
changed every three months (with average usage).
To remove a filter, lift out the plate covering the filter. Refer to Figure 2. Re-
move the filter, using the tabs. Replace with a new filter and fit the cover into
place.
4.6 Oven
Fit the wax tray into the bottom of the oven.
