1. OVERVIEW

Ideal Vacuum’s Habanero™ is a benchtop sized reference absorbtion cell heating furnace for

spectroscopy, and can be used with all of our sealed wavelength reference cells. The Habanero

furnace provides a stable temperature and convenient package for many reference cell applications.

It provides an even, elevated temperature to maintain a constant absorption spectrum of tellurium

for laser locking and spectrum calibration. For applications where greater resolution is required,

it can be used in a saturated absorption system for doppler-free absorption spectroscopy. As

congured, the Habanero is ready for use in transmission spectroscopy.

With a maximum operating temperature of 900°C, the Habanero furnace is especially useful

for high temperature references such as tellurium and the excited states of iodine. With its wide

operating range from maximum to ambient, the Habanero can be used with all of Ideal Vacuum’s

sealed wavelength reference cells. Note that care must be taken not to exceed the damage

threshold temperature of alkali and organic reference cells.

Raising the temperature of a reference material that is solid under normal conditions increases the

number density of atoms or molecules in the gas phase. This increases the optical density of the

reference, increasing signal-to-noise ratios and the number of lines that can be condently used

to calibrate a spectrum. Raising the temperature also changes the distribution of populated states,

allowing access to calibration-quality absorption lines beginning from higher rotational, vibrational,

and even electronic states in wavelength ranges inaccessible at normal room temperature. Some

reference materials have absorption lines or peaks that move as a function of temperature. For

these materials, the Habanero furnace can provide the precise long-term temperature control

necessary to maintain laser calibration for the full duration of an experiment.

2.1 POWER AND CONTROL

The Habanero’s resistive heating elements are designed to be powered by 100-120 VAC, 50/60

Hz, 3.6 A and have a heating power of 425 W under these conditions. Reducing the voltage

results in a slower heating rate and reduced maximum temperature.

Power is supplied to the furnace via a permanently attached power cord with a standard NEMA

5-15 plug. The power plug must be connected to a power regulating device, such as our PID

heater controller (p. 16), a variable transformer (Variac), or another user supplied controller.

Direct connection to an unregulated power source (such as the wall or a power strip) will result in

overheating and permanent damage to the furnace.

For temperature monitoring, the Habanero is equipped with a type K thermocouple with a miniature

male straight blade connector.

2. BASIC INSTALLATION

2.2 MOUNTING

For adequate ventilation, at least 3” of clearance on each side and 12” above the furnace is

required. It must be placed on or mounted to a non-combustible working surface. We recommend

elevating it at least 3” above the surface to improve air ow.

The base of the Habanero has eight 8-32 tapped holes for mounting legs or posts.

When the furnace’s internal temperature is high, the furnace’s

exterior surface temperature can reach as much as 130°C (266°F).

Do not touch the furnace when it is heating. Do not put anything

on top of the furnace. Remove all combustibles from the furnace

vicinity (i.e., paper). Do not operate in a fully enclosed space.

Figure 1 - Tapped mounting holes in base

HRCF-08122022 - V 1.110

For benchtop use, we recommend using four 3 inch long optical posts for legs screwed in at each

corner of the furnace base (P1012739).

For easiest mounting to an optical table with standard 1” x 1” breadboard tapped holes, we

recommend our optical table furnace mounting kit (P1012736) (shown below), which includes

everything needed for a vibration-free, secure installation. Other optical table accessories are

available, including optical posts and holders in varied lengths, optic mounts, and breadboards.

HRCF-08122022 - V 1.1 11

3. REFERENCE CELL INSTALLATION

It is not necessary to remove the furnace windows when installing

or replacing a reference cell.

Initial installation or replacement of the reference cell is done when the heater is cold (at ambient

temperature), and requires a 5/64” hex wrench. Wear gloves when performing this procedure.

1. On the side of the furnace opposite the power cable, unscrew the four 6-32 x 3/8” button

head screws on the end cap (LA-11-405) just inside the furnace case.

2. Grasp the window retaining ring and carefully pull the cell holder assembly out of the furnace.

Figure 4 - Remove four end cap screws (LA-11-405)

Figure 5 - Grasp and pull on window retaining ring

HRCF-08122022 - V 1.112

3. When the end cap is past the furnace case, grab the end cap and continue gently pulling

the cell holder assembly out.

4. Once the cell holder assembly is out of the furnace, slide off the rst ceramic holder.

5. Notice that the end cap optic hole is off-center. Slide the reference cell in between the rods,

cell stem pointing towards the larger side of the end cap. Seat the cell into the holder.

Figure 6 - Pull out from end cap

Figure 7 - Slide off ceramic holder

Figure 8 - Seat the reference cell into the ceramic holder

HRCF-08122022 - V 1.1 13

6. Take the previously removed ceramic cell holder and slide it, circular end rst, back onto

the mounting rods.

7. Carefully slide the ceramic holder over, and seat it on, the reference cell.

8. Carefully slide the cell holder assembly back into the furnace, cell stem up.

9. Secure the assembly to the furnace with the four 6-32 x 3/8” screws. Use a 5/64” hex wrench.

4.1 AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

4. WINDOW REPLACEMENT

Two 1” diameter, uncoated, wedged fused silica windows are included standard with the Habanero

furnace. Window replacements may be required if the optics become degraded over time due to

elevated temperatures. If focusing or other special considerations are required for an application,

the researcher can substitute windows with their own optics. The furnace uses 1 inch diameter

windows up to a maximum thickness of 8 mm. The windows may be removed entirely, which

results in reduced heating performance and temperature uniformity. Below, Table 4 lists our

available replacement windows. All are 1” diameter (25.4 mm), 5 mm (.197 in.) thick, 0.5°wedge,

and have high surface atness to prevent beam distortion.

Removal or replacement of the windows is done when the heater is cold (at ambient temperature),

and requires a 5/64” hex wrench. Wear gloves when performing this procedure.

1. Unscrew the three 6-32 x 3/8” button head screws which secure the window retaining ring

(LA-11-406). Be careful not to drop the screws or retaining ring into the furnace case.

2. Carefully remove the window. Do not let it fall into the furnace case.

3. Install the replacement window in reverse order.

5.1 WITH IVP PID HEATER CONTROL

5. FURNACE CONTROL

1. The controller has four navigation buttons, shown in Figure 14. They are used to select

and change all controller parameters including setting the thermocouple type, starting and

stopping furnace heating, and changing the furnace target temperature.

2. Before using the PID heater controller for the rst time, verify that the thermocouple setting

is set to Type K on the controller.

3. Plug the controller into to a 100-120 VAC source (wall outlet or outlet strip) and switch power

on from underneath the display.

4. Since a thermocouple is not yet plugged in, the display will read “no Cont”.

5. Press and hold down the SET button for 5 seconds.

6. The display should show “CnPt ”, the correct setting for a Type K thermocouple. If it does,

then press the SET button.

7. If the controller shows a CnPt value other than that shown in Figure 15, press the UP or

DOWN ARROW until it does. Then press the SET button to save the setting.

8. Once the thermocouple setting is veried, turn off the controller.

9. Plug the furnace’s power cord into the controller. Use a NEMA 5-20R to IEC C20 adapter

(P1012728) to connect the furnace power plug to the PID heater connector.

10.Plug the furnace’s thermocouple into the controller (Figure 16, next page).

Figure 15 - Verify the Type K thermocouple setting

Follow the instructions below if you have the IVP Furnace and PID Heater Controller Kit with

mounting hardware (P1012730), or if you are using the PID heater controller separately (P107361).

Figure 14 - Controller navigation buttons

HRCF-08122022 - V 1.1 17

11. Press the power switch to turn on the controller.

12.The rst time the controller is powered and connected to the furnace, the current temperature

(PV) will be ambient. The target temperature (SV) will be 0.0 (Figure 17).

13.The PV (process value) is the furnace’s current temperature, shown in red digits. The SV is

the furnace target temperature, shown in green digits.

14.The controller is factory programmed to turn the furnace on immediately upon power up.

15.To turn off furnace heating and enter a new furnace target temperature, press the ROTATE

button. The display will show “r-S” and RUN (Figure 18, next page).

16.Press the UP ARROW. The display changes to STOP (Figure 19, next page).

17.Press the SET Button to save the selection and go back to the temperature display.

18.Similarly, if r-S is set to STOP, press the ROTATE button. Press the UP ARROW to change

to RUN. Press the SET Button to save the selection and go back to the temperature display.

Figure 16 - Plug furnace power and thermocouple cables into controller

Figure 17 - Initial current and target temperatures

HRCF-08122022 - V 1.1 18

19.To change the furnace target temperature, press the UP ARROW. The green SV digits will

icker.

20.Hold down the UP ARROW to increase the target temperature. The value will increase

slowly at rst, then more quickly the longer the UP ARROW is depressed.

21.In Figure 20, our reference cell is Tellurium 130 and our target temperature is 650°C. When

the target is reached, press the SET button to save.

22.When an experiment is completed and you want to turn off the furnace but leave the controller

on, set the r-S value to STOP.

23.Alternatively, at the end of an experiment, turn the controller’s power switch off. The SV value

is retained and as soon as the power switch is turned back on, the furnace will immediately

begin heating if the r-S value is set to RUN.

Figure 20 - Set the furnace target temperature

Figure 18 - Furnace runs on powerup

5.2 WITH VARIABLE TRANSFORMER

If you are controlling the furnace with a variable transformer (Variac), make sure to use a readily

available digital temperature gauge that accepts a Type K thermocouple mini connector. Do not

run full voltage. The furnace will be damaged. Instead, increase the transformer’s voltage slowly

from zero to achieve the desired temperature.

Figure 19 - Furnace does not run on powerup
