III. HEALTH HAZARDS C. SUMMARY / RISKS

At this time there are no known published reports that demonstrate an associated 

association between RCF exposure and respiratory disease. The following is a 

review of the result date:

Health 

May be harmful if inhaled.

May be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract.

possible cancer hazard based on test with laboratory 

animals.

Flammability: Non - Combustible

Reactivity: Stable

Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal disturbances such as irritation, nausea, 

vomiting and diarrhea.

Eyes: Slightly to moderately irritating. Abrasive action may cause damage 

to the outer surface· of the eye.

Skin: Slight to moderate irritation or rash. Irritation is due to mechanical 

reaction to sharp, broken ends of fibers.

Inhalation: May cause irritation or soreness of throat and nose. Extreme exposure may produce coughing, congestion, and even difficulty breathing. Pre-existing medical conditions may be aggravated by 

exposure: e.g. bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin: Wash affected areas gently with soap and water. Do not rub or scratch 

exposed skin. Using a skin cream or lotion may be helpful. Get medical 

attention if irritation persists.

Eyes: Flush immediately with large amounts of water. Do not rub eyes. Get 

medical attention if irritation persists.

Inhalation: Remove affected person from source of exposure. Drink water to clear 

throat, and blow nose to expel mist/dust. Avoid tobacco smoke. Get medical 

attention if irritation persists.
Safety Notes

Material Safety Data Sheet

1-6 Thermo Scientific

1. There is no evidence of any fibrotic lung disease (interstitial fibrosis) 

whatsoever on x-ray.

2. There is no evidence of elevated lung disease among those employees 

exposed to RCF that had never smoked.

3. A statistical "trend” was observed in the exposed population between the 

duration of exposure to RCF and a decrease in some measures of pulmonary 

function. These observations are clinically insignificant. In other words, if these 

observations were made on an individual employee, the results would be 

interpreted as being within the normal range.

4. Pleural plaques (thickening along the chest wall) have been observed in a 

small number of employees who had a long duration of employment. There are 

several occupational and non-occupational causes for pleural plaque. It should 

be noted that plaques are not associated with any measurable effect on lung 

function.

A number of studies on health effects of inhalation exposure of rats and hamsters, 

have been completed. Rats exposed to doses corresponding to 200 f/cc 

developed progressive lung damage (interstitial fibrosis) and cancers of the lung 

and of the pleura (lining of the chest wall and lung). Hamsters similarly exposed 

developed interstitial fibrosis and pleural cancer, but no lung cancer.

In a multiple dose study in rats, statistically significant increases in lung tumors 

were observed following exposure to the highest doses; there were no excess 

lung cancers at lower doses.

As a result, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has 

classified RCF, along with fibrous glasswool and mineral wool, as possible human 

carcinognes (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals 

but insufficient data in humans. IARC has also classified respirable crystalline 

silica, which may be found in after- service RCF exposed to temperatures above 

1800 °F, as a known carcinogen to humans (Group 1). See Section IX for 

additional information concerning after service RCF.

IV. PERSONAL PROTECTION

Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields or goggles are recommended, particularly when working overhead. Do not wear 

contact lenses.

Skin Protection: Wear gloves, hats, or loose fitting full body clothing as 

required to prevent skin irritation. Wash exposed areas with 

soap and warm water after handling. Wash work clothes 

separately from other clothing. Rinse washing machine 

thoroughly after use.

Safety Notes

Material Safety Data Sheet

Thermo Scientific 1-9

IARC has concluded that crystalline silica from occupational sources inhaled in the 

form of quartz or cristobalite is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) 

[IARCMonograph Vol. 68, June 1997]. The OSHA permissible exposure limit 

(PEL) and the 1988-89 ACGIH threshold limit value (TLV) for cristobalite is 0.05 

mg/if (respirable dust). Particular care should be taken when working with “used” 

material to minimize generation of dust. When removing and handling product 

used in high temperature applications, special caution should be taken to avoid 

unnecessary cutting and tearing of the used material to minimize generation of 

airborne dust. Workers should Use respiratory protection. Use NIOSH or MSHA 

approved equipment when airborne exposure limits may be exceeded, especially 

in confined areas with inadequate ventilation.

Insulation surfaces should be lightly sprayed with H2O before removal to suppress 

airborne dust. As water evaporates during removal, additional water should be 

sprayed on surfaces as needed. Only enough water should be sprayed to 

suppress dust so that water does not run on to the fiber in the work area.

After RCF removal is completed, dust-suppressing cleaning methods, such as wet 

sweeping or wet vacuuming, should be used to clean the work area. If dry 

vacuuming is used, the vacuum must be equipped with a HEPA filter. Air blowing 

or dry sweeping should never be used. Dust-suppressing components can be 

used to clean up light dust.

X. INGREDIENTS / HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

208 VAC Operation

Thermo Fisher Scientific Moldatherm box furnace heating elements are 

specifically designed for operation on 120, 208, or 240 VAC. A furnace wired for 

240 VAC operation can also operate on 208 VAC. However, heatup and recovery 

times will be longer.

Exhaust Vent

Flow from the exhaust vent on the top of the unit can be adjusted by inserting or 

removing the plug provided.

For most applications, the exhaust vent should be fully plugged during operation 

of the furnace; a closed vent results in more efficient operation and greater 

temperature stability. However, there are some applications which benefit from a 

partially or fully open exhaust vent.

The exhaust vent should be partially or fully open for the following applications:

• To provide slow cool down of work load. Some work loads may be damaged by 

heat shock when the furnace door is opened. The vent can be opened to allow 

work load to cool gradually.

• To remove unwanted vapors and gases from the furnace chamber. If you need 

to ventilate vapors and gases outside of the room, be sure to read Section 

“Exhaust Port Connection” Chapter “Installation”.

Figure 3. “Exhaust Vents” shows how you can use the plug to adjust flow from 

the exhaust vent.

Failure to check thermocouple wiring connections before initial 

start up could result in damage to the furnace.

Exhaust Port Connections

Thermo Scientific 4-5

Figure 3. Exhaust Vents

Exhaust Port Connections

The one inch diameter exhaust port through the top wall of the furnace allows for 

the removal of unwanted vapors and gases produced during high-temperature 

operation.

When you need to ventilate vapors and gases outside of the room, be sure to 

make a proper connection to the exhaust port that allows some room air to flow 

into the exhaust. This is necessary to prevent “chimney effect” which sucks heat 

out of the chamber and results in slow run-up time or poor temperature uniformity.

Two methods of making the exhaust port connection are shown in Figure 4.

“Preventing Chimney Effect” below. With a hood suspended above the furnace, 

be sure that there is at least three inches between the hood and the exhaust port. 

If you use a metal tube or pipe leave at least one inch clearance.

Atmosphere Inlet

4-6 Thermo Scientific

Atmosphere Inlet

BF51800 series furnaces have a factory-installed air/atmosphere inlet.

Most inert atmospheres (i.e. nitrogen, argon, and helium) can be safely run in this 

box furnace. However, maximum temperatures may be derated depending on 

atmosphere. An initial burn-in period in air is recommended.

Please contact Thermo Fisher Scientific prior to using the furnace with an inert 

atmosphere.

The furnace should be run for 7-10 hours at 1100 °C before using an inert 

atmosphere and after every 60 hours of use with an inert atmosphere. This burn in 

process will help remove contaminants and provides a protective oxide layer on 

the heating elements.

This furnace is not designed to be a gas-tight atmosphere furnace. 

Atmosphere Inlet Port (Refer to Figure 5. Gas Inlet Tub 

Assembly)

The atmosphere inlet tube assembly has been packaged separately to avoid 

breakage during shipping and handling.

Even if you do not intend to use the gas inlet, you must install the assembly before 

operating the furnace. The only tool you need is a Phillips head screwdriver.

To install the gas inlet assembly:

1. Carefully remove the assembly from the package and inspect for any damage.

2. Remove the two mounting screws from the rear housing panel of the furnace.

3. Insert the ceramic tube end through the access hole in the rear of the furnace 

and guide the tube into the back of the chamber.

4. Align the mounting holes in the rear housing panel with the holes in the gas 

inlet tube assembly and secure the assembly with the mounting screws.

Hearth Plate Information

Why Use

• To provide a load bearing surface and distribute the weight of product being 

heated.

• To protect the furnace chamber from spillage.

• To lengthen the life of furnace, by allowing heat from the chamber floor to 

circulate into the chamber center.

When to use

• Hearth Plates are recommended during each furnace operation.

How to Install

• Hearth plates are designed with one grooved or concave surface.

• The grooved or concave surface must be positioned agained the chamber 

floor.

Guidelines for Ashing Application

4-8 Thermo Scientific

Guidelines for Ashing Application

Ashing products at relatively low furnace temperatures (400 ° to 800 °C) may 

cause carbon residue to build up on the walls, floor, ceiling and heating elements 

inside the furnace chamber. The carbon will look like a black powder, similar to 

smoke on glass from a candle.

Carbon is an electrical conductor. If the furnace chamber and heating elements 

are coated with carbon, an electrical short-circuit may occur and cause the 

elements to overheat and burn out.

There is also some danger that the carbon residue will be absorbed through the 

surface of the Moldatherm insulation and affect the fully embedded heating 

elements.

The best way remove carbon residue from the chamber and elements surfaces is 

to operate the empty furnace at a chamber temperature above 900 °C for one 

hour. Do this regularly, whenever the chamber interior shows signs of carbon 

residue.

Do not scrub or scrape the chamber surfaces - this may damage the heating 

elements and the insulation.

Furnace Start Up

5-2 Thermo Scientific

Furnace Start Up

The furnace has a power interrupt switch. Opening the furnace door shuts off 

power to the heating unit. The door must be completely closed before the furnace 

will operate.

To start up the furnace and prepare it for normal operation, complete the following 

steps:

1. Check the door seal (Refer to Chapter “Start Up” Section “Door Seal 

Check”).

2. Turn furnace ON.

3. Using the program described in Chapter “Start Up” Section Ramp to 

“200°C”, run the furnace for two hours at 200 °C.

4. Check for heat loss through the door. In the event of heat loss, recheck the 

door seal (Refer to Chapter “Start Up” Section “Door Seal Check” and 

Section “Door Seal Adjustment”).

When installing, maintaining, or removing the refractory insulation, 

the following precautions will minimize airborne dust and ceramic 

fiber:

• Keep personnel not involved in the installation out of the area.

• Use a good vacuum to clean area and equipment. Do not use 

compressed air.

• Use NIOSH high efficiency respirator (3M #8710 or 

equivalent).

• Wear long sleeve clothing, gloves, hat, and eye protection to 

minimize skin and eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses.

• Thoroughly wash self after work is complete.

• Launder work clothing separate from other clothes and 

thoroughly clean laundering equipment after use. If clothing 

contains a large amount of dust and/or ceramic fiber, dispose 

of rather than clean.

• Promptly place used ceramic fiber parts and dust in plastic 

bags and dispose of properly.

5. Adjust the setpoint to 550 °C as directed in Chapter “Start Up” Section 

“Ramp to 550 °C”.

6. Run the furnace for two hours at 550 °C.

7. Check for heat loss through the door. In the event of heat loss, recheck the 

door seal (Refer to Chapter “Start Up” Section “While the furnaces is at 

550 °C”).

8. Run the furnace for two hours at 1,000 °C as directed in Chapter “Start Up” 

Section “Ramp to 1000 °C” and “Operate for Two Hours”.

9. Let the furnace cool to room temperature.

Door Seal Check

It is very important to check the door seal before using this furnace. Door seal 

integrity is essential to maintain temperature uniformity and prevent fumes being 

released into the area surrounding the furnace.

To check the door seal:

1. With the furnace power off and the chamber cold, open the door.

2. Insert a strip of paper (a couple of inches wide) between the door insulation 

and the chamber opening. Do not position the paper in the comer of the 

chamber. Close the door.

3. Slowly pull the paper strip from the outside. You should feel some resistance. If 

the paper does not pull out, this area of the door seal may be too tight, causing 

a gap in another area of the door seal.

4. Repeat this test at 2-inch intervals around the door. If the door does not seal 

properly, a door adjustment must be done (Chapter “Start Up” Section 

“Below Door Seal Adjustment”).

Door Seal Adjustment (if necessary)

To adjust the door seal:

1. Door assemblies have hex nuts attaching the insulation frame to the outer door 

frame. Loosen the appropriate nuts and move the door insulation frame to 

improve the door seal.

2. Recheck the door seal, following the instructions above.

3. If a gap is detected only in the center top edge of the door seal, then the top 

corners of the sealing surface of the door may be sanded to lessen the center 

gap.

4. After each adjustment recheck the door seal.

UP150 Controller Overview

This version (V 54 & 56) of the UP150 controller features the dual operation 

modes of Single Setpoint and Programming. Each mode has distinct operations 

and uses.

Single Setpoint Mode allows the user to select a single target temperature setpoint 

in the controller. The controller will operate the heating equipment until this 

setpoint value is achieved, then maintain this setpoint indefinitely.

Programming Mode allows the user to enter a series of setpoint and time 

values.The controller will follow these sequences of instructions to energize the 

heating equipment until the entire sequence is complete.

The Temperature Controller senses the chamber air temperature of the furnace 

(the PV or process value) and supplies the heat necessary to achieve the desired 

setpoint. The controller includes an LED display and a push button keypad. Refer 

to “Table 1” and “Table 2” for lists of displayed parameters and keypad functions.

UP150 Parameter Function.

If the process temperature or load changes significantly an auto 

tune session may be necessary to optimize the chamber performance. Recording the values assigned to “P”, “I”, And “D” from 

previous auto-tune session, would allow these values to be manually entered using Table 2.

Some changes will have a dramatic affect on the temperature control in the equipment where this controller is installed.

highest setpoint.

8. Press and HOLD the “SET/ENT” button for 3 seconds to exit the program 

menu and return to the reset or standby display.

Auto Tuning the UP150 Controller

Auto tuning maximizes the performance of the chamber at a selected temperature 

with the product load's characteristics, by operating with the quickest response 

and minimal temperature overshoot.

Factory settings are for general purposes, but your process can be enhanced 

through the auto tune feature. To obtain this maximum performance, follow these 

steps to auto the controller.

1. Load the chamber with materials that have the same mass and thermal 

characteristics as an actual product load.

2. Operate the chamber to the process temperature using either local or run 

mode.

3. Start the Auto Tune: Press and hold the “SET/ENT” button for three seconds to 

display the "modE" parameter of the Operating Parameter menu.

4. Press and release the “SET/ENT” button five times to advance to the "At" 

parameter.

5. Press and release the “UP” arrow button to show "on" in the lower display.

6. Press the “SET/ENT” button once to enter the auto tune mode and exit the 

Operating Parameters menu.

7. The controller will cycle three times through a heating and cooling pattern, 

measuring the characteristics of the load and chamber temperature controls. 

During the auto tuning, “At” will alternately flash with the measured

temperature (PV) display to indicate that the auto tuning progress. The length 

of time for the auto tune vanes with the load, chamber size and temperature 

selected.

8. The auto tune is completed when the regular display of the measured 

temperature is shown without the "A1" value flashing. The chamber should 

now operate to the process temperature with the given product load, with the 

quickest response and minimal temperature overshoot.

Temperature Offset Procedure

The purpose of this procedure is to create an offset in the displayed temperature 

measurement for the UP150 temperature controller.

1. Operate the furnace chamber to your normal stable temperature setpoint, with 

an independent temperature measurement device located in the center of 

chamber. The controller will be “running” the program or operating in the local 

mode to maintain the temperature.

2. Note any difference in the controller's measured temperature (upper display 

value) PV and the independent measurement. If a difference of greater than 

1°C is noted proceed with the following steps. If less than 1 °C, no change is 

necessary.

3. Press and hold the "SET/ENT" button for 3 seconds to display "modE"

4. Verify the button lockout parameter will give access to make this display offset. 

Press and release the "SET/ENT" button multiple times to display "LoC". The 

value 0 (zero) displayed will give full access and is necessary to make the 

display offset changes desired. If the value displayed is 1 or 2, use the "down 

arrow" button to make 0 (zero) press release the "SET/ENT" button to register 

this change.

5. Press and release the "SET/ENT" button multiple times to display "bS" and the 

current offset value.

6. Calculate the offset value and select the values with the arrow buttons which is 

needed to make this controller display correctly. For example, if the 

independent measurement is 553 °C, the controller Temperature measurement 

PV (upper display) shows 550 °C, and the current controller offset (bS) is -2, 

then make controller display offset "+1" [(+3 needed offset) + (-2 current offset) 

= (+1 new offset)].

If the process temperature or load changes significantly another 

auto tune session may be necessary to optimize the chamber 

performance. Recording the values assigned to "P", "I", and “D” 

from previous auto-tune session, would allow these values to be 

manually entered using Table 2.

7. Press and release the "SET/ENT" button once to register this new offset value. 

Press and hold the "SET/ENT” button for 3 seconds to exit this controller 

menu.

8. Operate the controller to the same temperature to stabilize the chamber to 

check for any further variations between the controller and the independent 

measurement. Repeat steps 2 - 7 as necessary.

9. This completes the display offset procedure for the UP150 temperature 

controller. If the bottom lockout parameter "LoC" was originally on a value of 1 

or 2, repeat steps 3 & 4 to return to this original value.

Contact Technical Service at 1-866-984-3766 if you have any questions.

Changing Temperature Scale Between °C and °F

To change the temperature scale in the UP150 controller to operate on °F instead 

of the factory setting of °C, or from °F to °C, Follow these steps.

If during this procedure the buttons are inactive for more than two minutes, the 

controller will return to the standard display.

1. Assure the indicators beside "RUN" and "L" on the controller face are 

extinguish. If they are illuminated press and hold the “SET/ENT” Button to 

display "nodE". Select "rES" with arrow, press “SET/ENT” button to make the 

RUN or L indicator extinguished.

2. To access the Operating Parameters Menu, press and HOLD the “SET/ENT” 

button for at least 3 second to display "modE".

3. Press and release the “SET/ENT” button until the display shows "LoC" in the 

upper display. Make sure the value below "LoC" is "0" (zero). If it is not "0" use 

“down arrow” to make "0" and press and release "SET/ENT” button to register 

change to "0".

4. At "LoC" display, press the “down arrow” to make the lower value "-1".

5. Press and release the "SET/ENT” button to enter the Setup Parameters menu 

and show ''In'' on the upper display and a numerical value in the lower display.

variable) and SP (set point). If the SpecView display of the controller shows 

X's, the communications connection or power to the control may have been 

interrupted.

12.On some controllers, the decimal point position has been changed from use 

Yokogawa factory default This will make the SpecView display differ from the 

controller If this is the case, follow the instructions in Section “Decimal Point 

Adjustment”, Chapter “Communication”.

Communications Test

When you have established a working communications link between the controller 

and PC, you should check the link by varying the target set point function:

1. Click on the arrows of the controller(s) shown in the SpecView window. This 

will open a keypad window where the set point can be changed.

2. Select a temperature set point a few degrees from the current temperature and 

press the "send" button. Verify that the controller display shows the setpoint 

change.

3. Select the original temperature set point through the keypad on the controller 

and observe the change on the PC display.

4. The controller parameters may be viewed through SpecView by clicking on the 

"PAR" button. A window opens that lists the controller parameters. Each 

parameter can be changed by selecting it and clicking on the "Alter" button. 

Select the "Close" button. Make no changes at this time.

This concludes the initial software diagnostics.

Troubleshooting

If your connection is not working properly, check the following conditions:

A. Verify complete and tight cable connections between the Thermo Fisher 

Scientific unit and the PC.

B. Verify that power has been supplied to the unit and temperature controller 

before starting the software program.

C. Verify the configuration values in the controller, listed in the Table 7. “UP150 

Communication Parameters”.

D. Verify the values in the "Ports & Protocols" window (See Step 6 in Section 

“Software Installation”).

Decimal Point Adjustment

If the decimal point on the PC display of the controller does not match the 

controller display, you can make an adjustment to correct this:

1. From the Configuration Mode (available through the "file" drop down while in 

the Runtime Mode), select the "Variables List" icon, represented by a page with 

lines on it.

2. Select the controller model number and select "Properties" button. The 

"Add/Rename Instrument" box appears.

3. In the Address window highlight the middle digit (usually a 1) and change to "0" 

(zero).
