Muffle Furnace With Communication Port 1.5L Overview
The Muffle Furnace With Communication Port 1.5L (FO101CR / FO111CR) from Yamato Scientific is a compact 1.5 L muffle furnace built for high-temperature work from 100 to 1150°C. Microprocessor PID control holds temperature accuracy within ±2°C, supporting ashing, glass fusing, enamel coating, ceramics, soldering, and brazing. LabSupplies.com is an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer.
A ceramic fiber chamber and door deliver fast heat-up and tight thermal sealing, while the 1.1 kW iron-chrome heater drives the 100 × 150 × 100 mm work space. Long-life R-thermocouple sensing feeds the VS6 controller, which supports fixed-temperature, timer, and programmable operation of up to six patterns across 30 steps.
An integrated communication port lets the furnace tie into data logging and remote monitoring setups. Steel construction with melamine/epoxy composite resin coating and SUS304 components frames the unit. Order the FO101CR for 115V circuits or the FO111CR for 220V power; both ship at roughly 115 lbs from USA inventory.

- R-thermocouple sensing: upgraded long-life sensors paired with a ceramic fiber chamber for tight heat retention.
- Layered safety: self-diagnostic memory and sensor error checks, earth-leakage/circuit breaker, and an automatic overheat prevention device.
- Communication port: built-in connectivity for data output and remote monitoring; optional exhaust, N₂ loading, and alarm output units.
How to Choose the Right Muffle Furnace
Selecting a muffle furnace comes down to matching chamber capacity, peak temperature, control sophistication, and site power to your workflow. Use the criteria below to confirm the FO101CR/FO111CR fits your process before ordering.
- Capacity: a 1.5 L chamber (100 × 150 × 100 mm interior) suits small crucibles, single samples, and bench-scale ashing — confirm your sample footprint fits.
- Temperature range: the 100 to 1150°C span covers glass fusing, ceramics, enameling, and metal soldering; verify your process stays within this window.
- Control type: programmable PID with six patterns matters when your method needs multi-step ramp-and-soak profiles rather than a single set point.
- Voltage: choose FO101CR for 115V outlets or FO111CR for 220V supply to match available circuits.
- Safety requirements: overheat prevention, breaker protection, and self-diagnostics support unattended high-temperature runs in shared lab spaces.
- Connectivity: the communication port is the deciding factor when temperature logging or remote monitoring is part of your QC documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the temperature range of the FO101CR muffle furnace?
The FO101CR operates from 100 to 1150°C. Temperature accuracy is ±2°C at 1150°C, controlled by a VS6 microprocessor PID system with R-thermocouple sensing.
What is the chamber capacity and interior size?
Chamber capacity is 1.5 L with interior dimensions of 100 × 150 × 100 mm. This compact work space suits small crucibles, single samples, and bench-scale high-temperature applications.
What is the difference between the FO101CR and FO111CR?
The only difference is operating voltage. FO101CR runs on 115V and FO111CR runs on 220V; both share the same 1.5 L chamber, 100–1150°C range, VS6 control, and communication port.
What are the furnace and door made of?
The furnace chamber and door use ceramic fiber for fast heat-up and tight thermal sealing. The body is steel with melamine/epoxy composite resin coating plus SUS304 stainless steel components.
Can the furnace run multi-step temperature programs?
Yes. The VS6 controller supports up to 6 program patterns — configurable as 30 steps × 1, 15 steps × 2, or 10 steps × 3 — alongside fixed-temperature and timer operation.
What does the communication port do?
The built-in communication port enables temperature data output and remote monitoring. Optional units add an exhaust system, N₂ gas loading with flow meter, temperature output, and alarm output terminals.
