at the stop valve (K)
• Set the secondary argon pressure (I) to 5 bars at the cylinder
pressure control (J)
• Connect the unit to the power supply
• Turn the unit on at the main switch (D).
A signal will sound to let you know the unit is ready.

Positioning the crucible in the crucible
holder
• Select the crucible for titanium (pure copper crucible) –
or for the selected alloy (combination crucible) support,
ceramic crucible and crucible electrode.
When casting with alloys, a ceramic crucible
(Order No. 090-161-00) is inserted into the copper crucible
support (Order No. 090-160-00).
A special crucible electrode (Order No. 090-162-00) is
attached to the crucible support with a wrench.
The rounded point should protrude slightly from the
ceramic pan.
Attention:
Use one ceramic crucible and
one crucible electrode for each
separate alloy.
Do not immerse ceramic crucible
in cold water to cool off.
• Place the clean and dry crucible (F) with the sprue facing
forward, horizontally on the bars of the crucible holder.
• Push the crucible (F) to the back of the melting chamber until
its corner support fits into the grooves of the bars, and the
nose of the crucible clicks audibly into the crucible holder (G).
For premature removal of
the crucible please push the
CAST button.
