5.2. Instrument Models
There are 2 different instrument models in the MAX
®
4000 series, the MAX
®
4000 and the
MAX
®
4000XL, which have various feature differences, as detailed below. Throughout
this manual, MAX
®
4000 is used to refer to both the MAX
®
4000 and the MAX
®
4000XL
when describing common features or functionality. When there are specific differences
between the two models, these are indicated through the usage of MAX
®
4000XL for
features that are only available in the MAX
®
4000XL. Refer to the label on the front of the
instrument, the splash screen displayed during power-up or access the Special Features
menu (see page 79) to determine which model instrument you have.

5.3. Oven
The sample oven is designed to remove volatile components from the sample as quickly
as possible, while maintaining accurate temperature control to prevent sample
degradation. Oven temperature is measured with a Resistance Temperature Device
(RTD), mounted in a rugged metal tube to prevent damage and dislocation. Temperature
control accuracy is within one degree of the set value after equilibrium is reached, and the
700-watt heater reaches equilibrium in 90 to 180 seconds, depending on the difference
between the starting and setpoint temperatures. Closed loop feedback control assures
a constant temperature even if power line voltage varies during the test. After a test is
completed, the heating system is turned off and the lid cooling fan is turned on. If
desired, open the lid after testing to speed cooling before performing the next test.
