Figure 8 - Parts of metal insertion rod
NOTE: After repeated use, the insertion rod will gradually turn from its silver, “out of the box”
color to a charcoal black color. This is due to the rod’s placement in the furnace atmosphere
and does not affect its function.
To prepare the insertion rod for placement in a testing atmosphere, first slide the “wound”
portion of the wire coil over the rod screw (Figure 9).

IMPORTANT!
The wire coil must be placed on the rod screw, not on the protective cage.
Next, slide the rod screw through the opening in the protective cage (Figure 10).
