1. Equipment Overview
A multi zone tube furnace is a device used for high-temperature heating and experimental research, with multiple independent temperature control zones that can meet the different temperature requirements of different materials and processes.

2. Installation and preparation
Equipment placement: Choose a location with good air circulation, no vibration, no flammable or explosive gases, or high dust to place the equipment.
Inspection and confirmation: Check whether the main equipment and accessories are complete according to the delivery note, sign after confirming that there are no errors.
Power supply and grounding: Carefully check the power supply voltage, ensure that the wiring is equipped with corresponding air switches, and reliably grounded.
Furnace tube installation:
Place the furnace tube symmetrically in the middle of the furnace, being careful not to touch the heating elements inside the furnace.
Install the flange in the order of inner flange sleeve, sealing ring, pressure ring, and outer flange sleeve, tighten the screws, and ensure that the flange position is not skewed.
Adjust the position of the furnace tube to ensure that the length on both sides of the furnace tube is consistent and the rotation is flexible and free.

3. Operation steps
Preparation before startup:
Check if the air and electrical circuits are functioning properly to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition.
Prepare the necessary experimental materials, including samples to be processed, protective atmosphere, etc.
Power on operation:
Press the power switch on the control panel, and the controller will first display the model and version number on the screen, followed by the temperature.
According to the experimental requirements, set the target temperature and heating program for each temperature zone.
Turn on the heating system, the program runs automatically, and the red curve on the display screen shows that it is running.
Atmosphere control and heating:
According to the experimental requirements, select an appropriate atmosphere control method and open the corresponding gas circuit valves.
Pay close attention to changes in gas flow rate to ensure sufficient and stable gas supply.
During the heating process, regularly observe and record experimental data.
Insulation and cooling:
After heating to the specified temperature, enter the insulation stage and adjust the heating power or gas flow rate to maintain temperature stability.
After the insulation time is reached, turn off the heating system or gas regulating valve and start the natural cooling process.
Sampling and cleaning:
After cooling to a safe temperature, open the furnace and take out the sample.
Clean the tube furnace to keep the equipment clean and tidy.

4. Safety precautions
Effective grounding: Ensure that the equipment is effectively grounded to prevent electric shock accidents from occurring.
Environmental requirements: There should be no flammable or explosive materials around the equipment, and good ventilation should be maintained.
Temperature control: Do not use beyond the rated temperature to avoid damaging equipment or causing safety accidents.
Gas safety: Pay attention to changes in gas flow rate during operation to prevent gas leaks from causing danger.
Personal protection: Operators should wear protective clothing, gloves, and other personal protective equipment to avoid burns or other injuries.

5. Maintenance and upkeep
Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the power supply, air circuit, heating elements and other components of the equipment are working properly.
Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly clean and maintain the equipment to keep the interior and exterior clean and tidy.
Professional maintenance: If the equipment malfunctions or is damaged, it should be promptly repaired by contacting the manufacturer or professional maintenance personnel.
