WARNING
To avoid electrical shock and scald, do use special sample feeding folk with
insulated handle to place sample into furnace, hold the insulated handle with
your hand.
After thermocouple and chimney installation and power cord connection, an analysis shall
be started.
On the control board, there are five function-choosing keys: slow ash, quick ash, volatile
matter, caking index and common (as Figure 2-1), and four number-setup keys: setup,
hundreds digit, tens digit and digit, and one start key. (Note: When pressing a key, you will
There also has an indicator, a buzzer and a power switch on the keyboard, the indicator is
used to display the state of heat, when the furnace is heating, the heating indicator LED
will be lit. The buzzer is a light and sound buzzer, when press any key on the keyboard,
you will hear an indicating sound. When an analysis is on the point of finishing, the buzzer
will successively sound to prompt users. When the power switch is pressed, there will
appear a symbol “FL000” on the temperature display screen and an IP address on the
time display screen, immediately the instrument comes into the initial stage

temperature. During an analysis, press the Reset/Digit key to terminate in advance. If you
want to enter another analysis program, briefly press the “Reset/Digit” key (or restart the
There are five indicators on the control board, when choosing one of the analysis
programs of slow ash, quick ash, volatile matter, caking index or common, the
corresponding LED indicator will be lit. The lit ready LED indicates the furnace has
reached a target temperature. For example: when selecting the volatile matter to do
analysis, once the furnace temperature reaches 920 ℃, the ready LED will be lit ,which
indicates samples can be delivered to the furnace.
In addition, there are two display screens on the board, the bigger one is the analysis
temperature display screen, it is used to display the furnace temperature, and the other
one is the analysis time display screen, the format of displaying time is “hour, minute,
The MF6100K has 4 special analysis programs and one common analysis program, all
these can be selected from the keys on the panel. To set one of the 4 special analysis
programs when the instrument is in setup status , briefly input “118 “to load default values.

An Example Program
The GB method for slow ash analysis of coal and coke (GB/T212-2008) specifies the
following steps:
The initial step: set T0=0 t0=0, this is the initial requirement for ash analysis, once the
temperature reaches 0, the corresponding LED will be on, Briefly press start to proceed
The first step: ramp from room temperature to 500 ℃ in no less than 30 min
The second step: soak in this temperature for 30 min
analysis).
With different parameters, the analysis processes are different. When performing the slow
ash analysis or the quick ash analysis, press the start key at the fifth step, the analysis will
directly enter the sixth step and loop between the fifth and the sixth steps due to the
inspection ignition. While performing the volatile matter and caking index analysis, the first
step will be skipped (except read the temperature parameter), and after the last step (the
sixth step) is finished, it will return to the initial step. But in common analysis program,
once the last step is finished, the instrument will be cool automatically.
MF6100K can be connected with a computer through the internet interface, with which,
the analysis parameters shall be modified by the computer. When using a computer to

indicator is off, but the furnace temperature continues to rise: Check the voltage of the two
ends of the heating elements (Be careful with the 220 VAC), if there exists the 220 VAC,
that it means that the solid relay SSR is broken and replace the solid relay.
