MA3000 H3 Heater and Gold Trap Positioning

The attached PDF article will demonstrate the proper placement of the gold trap within the H3 heater coil as well as demonstrate the proper placement of the thermocouple on the heater coil.

Please note the thermocouple is wrapped around the eighth coil (counting from the side closest to the combustion tube)

The entire heater coil should be within the fan's tunnel path directly below it for proper cooling.

The gold particles between the quartz wool held by the dimples in the glass should be completely covered by the heater coils.

Proper placement of the dimples in the glass on the exiting side is directly under the last coil of the heater.
