LK-10 - Storage Cabinet KK-1 - Cassette Dryer

Use

The LK 10 Storage Cabinet is intended for storing rolls of wire electrode in the temperature range 20 -50 oC. Due to the risk for injuries or material damage the storage cabinet and the cassette dryer must not be used for other than their intended purpose, and not in violation of these instructions.

Before use

Check the unit for transport damage. Do not connect a faulty unit to the mains. Check that the voltage and frequency marked on the rating plate match the values of the mains to which the unit is to be connected. Remove the cassette dryer packaged into the cabinet and check it for damage before transporting the units.

Location The cabinet and the cassette dryer must never be covered.

unobstructed airflow around the cassette dryer.

Place the cabinet on a flat surface.

The cabinet may not be used in environments where there is danger of explosion (EX). Ensure

Using the cabinet

Connect the unit to the mains. Set the desired temperature with the thermostat. The red indicator light is lit whenever the unit is connected to the mains. The green indicator light is lit when the heating resistor is on. Set the storage temperature recommended by the manufacturer of the electrodes. Place the desiccant cassettes on the bracket on the inside of the door. Place the rolls on the shelves of the cabinet. The humidity inside the cabinet will decrease to 40% RH in approximately two hours, depending on the initial humidity. Avoid opening the door, as this will increase the humidity of the interior of the cabinet. The water content of the desiccant cassettes can be determined on the basis of the colour of the granulate in the cassettes. In a dry cassette the granulate is deep blue. As the granulate absorbs moisture its colour turns lighter, and finally the granulate becomes translucent. At this stage, at the latest, the cassette should be transferred to the cassette dryer KK-1 for reconditioning. The cassette dryer is operative whenever connected to the mains.

The door is tightened against the cabinet with a screw lock. When closing the door, turn the knob five revolutions clockwise – this will press the door tightly against the cabinet. Turn the knob five revolutions anticlockwise when opening the door.

Using the cabinet, cassettes and dryer

Three desiccant cassettes are delivered with the cabinet, although just two cassettes are used at a time. When commissioning the cabinet, immediately put one cassette in the dryer in order to eliminate any moisture absorbed during the transport. When the cassettes in the cabinet are getting moist, replace one of them with the cassette from the dryer. This rotation between cabinet and dryer causes one dry cassette and one slightly moist one to be in the cabinet while one is in the dryer at any given time. The cassette dryer should always be in operation and the cassette not in the cabinet should be placed in the dryer. A moist cassette will dry completely in approx. 8 hours.

cause the temperature to rise to a level that is too high for plastic rolls.

Plastic rolls should not be kept on the lowest shelf of the cabinet, as the heating resistor just below may
