INSTALLATION Installation of an SMO5HP-2 requires permanent connect wiring (commonly known as hardwiring), and must be performed by a qualified electrical technician. All other installation steps can be performed by the end user. EQUIRED MBIENT ONDITIONS This oven is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 15C and 40C (59F and 104F), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25C / 77F).
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) OWER OURCE EQUIREMENTS When selecting a location for the oven, check that each of the following requirements are satisfied: The oven must be positioned so that all operators have access to the power feed disconnect in case of emergencies. The Disconnect must be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator.
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) IFTING AND ANDLING The oven is heavy. Use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Follow these guidelines when lifting the oven: Lift the oven only from its bottom surface. Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. ...
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) HELVING NSTALLATION The horizontal airflow within the chamber moves from the air duct on the right-hand side of the chamber, to the large holes on the left side. Place the shelves so they do not obstruct the duct duct holes in order to maximize airflow across the shelf space.
GRAPHIC SYMBOLS The oven is provided with multiple graphic symbols on its external and internal surfaces. The symbols identify hazards and the functions of the adjustable components, as well as important notes found in the user manual. Symbol Definition Indicates that you should consult your user manual for further instructions. Indique que l'opérateur doit consulter le manuel d'utilisation pour y trouver les instructions complémentaires.
A small flashing “1” indicates internal communications functions within the controller. Vent Valves The SMO5HP-2 comes provided with two vent valve controls on its front control panel. These open or close the intake and exhaust valves located on the top of the unit. 14 |...
OPERATION PERATING RECAUTIONS Warning : This SMO oven is not an explosion-proof unit! Avertissement : Ce sont des fours pas résistants aux explosions. 1. The oven is not designed to safely contain combustible gasses. 2. Do not place explosive, combustible, or flammable materials into the chamber. 3.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) HEORY OF PERATIONS To achieve the oven’s stated operation specs, the vents must be fully closed. Operating the oven with the vents open impacts the oven chamber temperature uniformity and stability. This may or may not speed drying rates, depending on the nature of your samples or product. During normal operations the vents are intended to be opened only while the product or samples are cooling.

OPERATION (CONTINUED) Heating Profiles The Watlow controller can store up to four heating profiles, each with ten steps. Please see the Programed Operations section on page 24, and the Watlow EZ-Zone Profile Programing Guide for more details. A profile can be launched whenever the unit is running in manual mode. Heating profiles should allow adequate time for the oven chamber to heat to the first temperature in the profile, prior to continuing to the second step of the profile.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) REPARING THE VEN FOR Preform the following steps to prepare the oven for use after installing it in a new workspace environment. Optional: If you will be performing a temperature display accuracy verification as part of your set up, Sheldon Manufacturing recommends introducing the temperature probe of Home Page your temperature reference device into the oven chamber now, prior to powering the oven.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) ET THE EMPERATURE IMIT This procedure sets the Over Temperature Limit backup system. Normally the system is set 5°C above the highest set point temperature you will be using during your current application or process. Always set at least 5°C above the hottest temperature of a heating profile. Note: If this is the first use of the oven, set the Over Temperature Limit to 325°C or higher to prepare to help ensure the OTL system will not interfere with the Burn-In procedure.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) IRST The steps below help eliminate smoking from protective coatings on the heating elements, when running above 150°C. Perform the burn-in at the highest temperature the oven will be used at. 1. Open the intake and exhaust vents. Oven exhaust should be positively vented outside of the oven’s workspace during the Burn-In.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) EMPERATURE CCURACY ERIFICATION Note: Performing an accuracy verification of the temperature display requires a temperature reference device. Please see the Reference Sensor Devices entry on page 5 for device requirements. Optional: A verification of the temperature display accuracy may be carried out when preparing the oven for use, if required by your laboratory or production protocol.
Page 22
OPERATION (CONTINUED) Note: If not already set to maximum, set the OTL limit to its max setting (325°C) to prevent the OTL cutoff from interfering with the verification process. Please see the Set The Over Temperature procedure on page 19. Verifying the Temperature Display Accuracy Reference Device 1.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) LOSED ENTS The unit is intended to be run with both vents closed in ordered to achieve its stated operating temperature specifications. The unit can be run with one or both vents open, however, the oven may not achieve its stated chamber uniformity, stability, or heating or recovery times. Drying times are dependent on the nature of your product or samples, as well as the volume placed in the oven chamber.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) ROGRAMMED PERATIONS The Watlow controller can hold four (4) ten-step heating profiles. Additionally, profiles may be combined by programing profile steps sequentially to run as a single profile of between two (2) and forty (40) steps. Please see the Programing Guide – Watlow EZ-Zone Controller Heating Profiles document that comes included with the oven for instructions on how to program heating profiles.

OPERATION (CONTINUED) Activating and Deactivating the Power Exhaust To activate the power exhaust as part of a heating profile step, do the following: 1. While selecting the parameters for the step, choose Event 1 On (“Ent1” “on”). a. The Event 1 parameter is located after the Time parameter when scrolling through a step menu using the green Advance Key.
USER MAINTENANCE Warning : Prior to maintenance or service on this unit, disconnect the power feed from the power supply. Avertissement : Avant d'effectuer toute maintenance ou entretien de cet appareil, débrancher le cordon secteur de la source d'alimentation. LEANING AND ISINFECTING If a hazardous material or substance has spilled in the oven, immediately initiate your site’s Hazardous Material Spill Containment protocol.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) ATCH AND LECTRONICS Periodically, inspect the door latch, trim, catch, and gasket for signs of deterioration. Failure to maintain the integrity of the door system shortens the life span of the Oven. Electrical components do not require maintenance. If the oven fails to operate as specified, please contact your Shel Lab distributor or Sheldon Manufacturing Technical Support for assistance.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) EMOVING THE HAMBER INER This procedure removes the ceiling liner and the side wall air ducts. The liner and ducts should be removed periodically and cleaned, and the surfaces beneath them cleaned. 1, 2, 3) Remove Note: Door removed in illustrations for clarity. Do not remove the door from Shelves, the oven.
