The SBL-1 needs at least a 9 amp supply and the SBL-2 needs at least a 13 amp supply at a nominal 230V.
The SBL-2D will use 17 amps and needs its own separate supply capable of taking this current.
Ensure that the air control valve is closed, then connect the air inlet to the correct supply. 21 kN/m

Should the fluidised bath be stored for long periods of time under damp or humid conditions, moisture
may be absorbed by the alundum which is hydroscopic. To avoid violent fluidisation which occurs when
damp alundum is heated above 100°C, operate the bath for a period of approximately 8 hours at 90°C
prior to operation at elevated temperatures.
NEVER ADD COLD OR DAMP ALUNDUM TO A HOT BATH AS THIS WILL ALSO CAUSE VIOLENT FLUIDISATION
WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. Allow the bath to cool then add the fresh alundum. If this fresh alundum
is a large proportion of the charge then dry the whole charge as above.
