SAFETY WARNINGS
The Troxler NTO Asphalt Content Ignition Oven is a safe, durable
unit. Troxler cannot anticipate every example of improper or
unauthorized use of this oven that may lead to malfunction or
accident. If a particular use is not specifically mentioned in this
manual as authorized, then assume that the use is unauthorized and
improper.
Always follow the safety warnings in this manual and the safety
procedures of your laboratory/company. Refer to the MSDSs
provided with each oven for further safety information. Troxler
recommends the following safety precautions.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
♦ The installation of t
he ove
n must comply with local building
code rulings.
♦ Troxler recommends the installation of a carbon monoxide
detector.
♦ Keep the area around the oven clear and free from all
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids. Failure to do so could cause fire or explosion.
♦ Place the oven on a level, sturdy, fireproof surface.
♦ The ambient temperature should be between 10 and 50 °C (50
and 122 °F), and the relative humidity should be less than 92%.
♦ Allow at least 15 cm (6 in.) between the oven and other vertical
structures.
♦ During normal operations, the chamber door cannot be opened
during a burn cycle. However, if the door lock should fail or be
defeated by the operator, it may be possible to open the door
while combustion is occurring inside the oven. If this should
happen, flames may exit from the top of the door. Therefore,
there must be at least 91 cm (3 ft) of clearance above the oven.
♦ Locate the oven no more than 1.2 m (4 ft) from the required
electrical power source (see Appendix C). Ensure that the
distance does
not place stress on the power cord. The power
source
must be wired by a qualified electrician.
