FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

Please read these operating instructions carefully before installing or operating this equipment.

• Use indoors only.

• Never operate the unit in close proximity to combustible materials or place materials on top of the unit.
• The unit must be electrically grounded to a three wire electrical outlet or receptacle. The electrical service provided
must be a dedicated line of the proper size according to local electrical codes.
• Unit must be placed in a position that allows the power cord to be easily disconnected from the wall or inlet
socket.
• Do not attempt to maintain the unit until you have read and understand this operation manual.
• Disconnect the line cord before attempting to service the unit.
• Do not operate the unit controls with tongs or other tools.
• Do not use solvents or liquid cleaners on the control panel.

OSHA AND CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: MUFFLE DUST EXPOSURE
In keeping with the policy of DENTSPLY Ceramco to build safe products, comply with all National and State statutes
and keep you, the valued customer informed; the services of a Certified Industrial Hygienist firm were employed to test
and evaluate the lab operator’s exposure to respirable refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) and crystobalite (a form of
crystalline silica) present in the furnace muffle.
The findings of this test revealed that levels of exposure during the normal operation of this equipment, as outlined in
the operator’s manual, were far less than the Permissible Exposure Limit set by the Federal Government.
When it becomes necessary to replace the muffle, the person doing this work is recommended to wear a HEPA filter
respirator and protective gloves as a precautionary matter.
Seal used muffle in a plastic bag and dispose of in accordance with local, state and Federal regulations.
Because this product and many similar products on the market today contain crystalline silica and ceramic fibers, it is
necessary under the statutes of California Proposition 65 that DENTSPLY Ceramco includes the following statement:
“This product contains substance(s) known to the State of California to cause cancer.”
Material Safety Data Sheets for RCF materials supplied upon request.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Shipping damage should be reported to the carrier as soon as detected.

The Unit Package contains the following:
• One furnace complete with power cord
• Owner's & Operator's Manual
• Ceramic Floor tray (shipped in the muffle)
• Two exhaust port plugs (for heat treating applications only)
UNPACKING:
Save the box and other packing material for future use in transporting the unit.
• Open the box.
• The Model 1750 requires two people to lift. Carefully lift the unit from the box by lifting on packaging supports.
Support unit from the bottom to prevent slipping.
• Remove packaging supports.
• Remove plastic bag.
• IMPORTANT! The furnace is shipped with packing material inside the muffle. Remove this material before
connecting power to the furnace.

INSTALLATION:
1. Remove all packing material from in and around the furnace. The furnace should be located at least 15cm (6")
away from walls, shelves and heat sensitive materials. Open the furnace door and remove the packing material
from inside the furnace. NOTE: The furnace front panel will show some discoloration around the muffle due to the
calibration and burn in cycles performed at the factory.
2. The furnace should not be located directly under shelves and other airflow restrictions.
3. On high voltage (200-250 volt) units, connect the line cord packaged in the rear of the furnace to the socket in
rear of furnace.
4. a. (Combustion, Burnout or Reaction Processes) Position the furnace under a vent hood or connect the exhaust port
to a ventilation system to prevent exposure to the exhaust fumes. The furnace exhaust port 25 mm (1") OD by 25
mm (1") long [50 mm (2") OD by 20 mm (0.8") long on 1750 Model] can be ducted into the exhaust hood for
more effective ventilation. Stainless Steel flexible metal tubing can be used for this ducting.
4. b. (Heat Treating or Non-Reaction Processes) Position the furnace under a vent hood. Plug the exhaust port
with the ball plugs provided in the furnace accessory kit. This will reduce heat loss and electricity requirements.
5. Connect the furnace to a power circuit or receptacle with an over current protection (circuit breaker or fuse) rating
of 20 Amps on the low voltage model and 10 Amps on the high voltage model. The furnace should be the only
load on this circuit. The 1750 North American model requires a 20A supply (breaker/receptacle). The 1750
Euro model requires a dedicated 32A supply (breaker/receptacle).
6. Turn on the furnace lighted green power switch (right-hand side of the control panel).

WARNING:
Operating the Furnace without the Ceramic Floor Tray may damage the furnace.
Never operate the Unit in close proximity to combustible materials or place materials on top of the unit.
Do not use extension cords with this equipment.
Plug the power cord into a circuit rated a minimum of 20A.
Do not position the unit in a way that blocks access to the power cord inlet socket or the wall outlet.

GENERAL OPERATION

Adjustment Wheel Operation:

The turning of the Adjustment Wheel is only detected by the control electronics after it is has been Pushed.
Note:
If after a Push or Turn the wheel is not active again within 7 seconds the display reverts back to its previous state.
Follow the examples below on how to program a new value (a counterclockwise turn decreases the value).
Changing Temperature:
One push prompts the operator to change the programmed muffle temperature. The left side of the display shows the
current set temperature and the right side of the display accepts the new temperature to be controlled. A slow turn of
the Adjustment Wheel will change the value by 1. A slightly faster turn will increase the value by 10, while fast
turning of the wheel results in a value change by 100.

Changing the Heat Rise:

Two pushes prompt the operator to change the programmed heat rise. The left side of the display shows the current set
heat rise and the right side of the display accepts the new heat rise to be controlled. A slow turn of the Adjustment
Wheel will change the value by 1. Faster turning will increase the value by 10.

GENERAL OPERATION

Activating the Alarm:

Three pushes prompt the operator to select the alarm function which is active at the Hold temperature when set. A
value of 0 disables the alarm. Programming a value of 1 will emit a short beep every 2 seconds while programming
the maximum value of 5 will emit a longer beep.

MAINTENANCE/ERROR MESSAGES

WARNING:
This equipment contains dangerous voltages. Maintenance and repair work should only be performed by an
authorized service technician of DENTSPLY Ceramco.

To keep the equipment in good working order you should follow the guidelines below.
• Examine the equipment regularly for mechanical damage.
• Do not use solvents or liquid cleaners on the control panel.
TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION:
Every VULCAN furnace is calibrated in the factory at 1000°C. Under normal use the furnace should not require
calibration. The electronics used in the VULCAN furnaces are very stable and will have minimal drifts over the live of
the furnace. Thermocouple replacement could be a potential requirement for calibration if high accuracy is required.
For example:
A furnace is operating at a stable temperature and a separate thermocouple is inserted in the furnace and a digital
thermometer measures the muffle temperature. The display shows 875°C which is the programmed temperature but
the digital thermometer reads 868°C. Turn the trimmer potentiometer, RP3, which is located above the thermocouple
connector on the “D” controller board clockwise until the display reads the same temperature as the meter. Allow the
furnace temperature to stabilize for 5 – 10 minutes before making further adjustments.
CLEANING:
• Clean the unit as needed.
• Vacuum dust and dirt from the furnace rather than blow. This will minimize the amount of air born dust particles.
• Clean exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth using a mild detergent and water.
• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER!
