INSTALLATION Installation of a High Performance Oven requires permanent connect wiring (commonly known as hardwiring), and must be performed by a qualified electrical technician. All other 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).
The required circuit-breakers are: SMO10HP-2 30 amps; SMO14HP-2 30 amps; SMO34HP-2 60 amps; SMO38HP-2 60amps. Power Exhaust Outlet Fuses The oven is also provide with a pair (2) of 2 amp fuses installed adjacent to the external power outlet on the back of the unit.
The oven comes provided with an integral 6 inch (15 cm) wire braid of: SMO38HP-2, SMO34HP-2 – two 6 gauge hot wires and a 6 gauge earth ground. SMO14HP-2, SMO10HP-2 – two 10 gauge hot wires and a 10 gauge earth ground.
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) NSTALL THE Install the unit in a workspace location that meets the criteria discussed in the previous entries of the Installation section. Do not connect the oven to its power source at this time. NITIAL LEANING The unit was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Additionally, it may have been exposed to contaminants en route during shipping.
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 service manual for further instructions. Indique que l'opérateur doit consulter le manuel d'utilisation pour y trouver les instructions complémentaires.

CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW Figure 7: Control Panel and Controller Power Switch Labeled Power, this illuminated switch controls all power to the oven. It must be in the On ( I ) illuminated position before any systems are operational. Set Temperature: The Temperature Display and Controller Unit The temperature display and controller unit for large capacity SMOHP-2 ovens is a JUMO dTRON.
Page 19
CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW (CONTINUED) The oven can also be placed in a single set point function mode. In this mode a heating profile cannot be launched and the profile programing page cannot not be accessed. However, the temperature set point is always unlocked. This allows a user to manually control heating by adjusting the set point at any time using the arrow keys.

OPERATION PERATING RECAUTIONS : The High Performance Oven is not an explosion proof unit! Warning Avertissement : Ce sont des fours pas résistants aux explosions! 1. These ovens are not designed to safely contain flammable or combustible gasses, vapors, or liquids. 2.
Page 22
OPERATION (CONTINUED) Heating The operation of each SMOHP-2 oven is controlled by a JUMO dTRON digital controller, wired to a solid state temperature probe located on the right wall of the oven chamber. The controller employs proportional-integral-derivative analytical feedback-loop functions when measuring and controlling the chamber air temperature.
Page 23
OPERATION (CONTINUED) Power Exhaust Outlet SMOHP-2 Ovens come provided with an external power outlet that can be used to power a blower exhaust fan attached to the oven exhaust vent. The power outlet and attached fan can be activated by the oven controller as part of the heating profile. The primary application of an external power exhaust blower is to force noxious or hazardous oven exhaust away from the oven workspace through a duct or other venting.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) REPARING THE VEN FOR Preform the following steps to prepare the oven for use after installing it in a new workspace environment. The First Use Burn-In procedure is intended to remove any traces of protective oil coatings from the oven elements and prevent smoking during your first application or heating profile run above 150°C.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) ET THE EMPERATURE OINT Note: Set the oven temperature to 200°C for the First Use Burn-In Process. There are three ways to set the oven chamber temperature. You may use any of these for the Burn-In procedure. Program and launch a heating profile.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) IRST Employ appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the vent dampener slides. 1. Verify that oven exhaust is positively vented from the workspace area. 2. Allow the oven to heat to 200°C. 3. After reaching 200°C, allow the oven run for a minimum of 1 hour at temperature. a.

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 11 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 production or laboratory protocol.

OPERATION (CONTINUED) Verifying the Temperature Display Accuracy Reference Device 1. Once the chamber temperature has stabilized, compare the reference device and the oven display temperature readings. a. If the readings are the same, or the difference between the two (2) falls within the acceptable range of your protocol, the display is accurately showing the oven chamber air temperature.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) ET THE EMPERATURE IMIT Note: Test the OTL system for functionality at least once per year. This procedure sets the Over Temperature Limit heating cutoff to approximately 5˚C above the current chamber temperature. Set the OTL Cutoff Temperature Example 1.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) OTL A CTIVATION URING ORMAL PERATIONS The following may be taking place if the OTL system activates during normal operations: A user has set the Over Temperature Limit below the current set point for either an active heating profile or single constant temperature set point.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) OSITIVE ENTING OF XHAUST Exhaust ducting can be connected to the oven exhaust port in order to channel outgassed products out of the workspace around the oven. An attached exhaust duct should not extend straight up from the oven, but should include a steep bend sufficient to stop condensation in the ducting from sliding down into the oven.

For maximum effectiveness, disinfection procedures are typically performed after cleaning and removal of gross matter contamination. Perform the following steps to manually disinfect the oven: 1.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) ALIBRATE THE EMPERATURE DISPLAY Note: Performing a temperature display calibration requires a temperature reference device. Please see the Reference Sensor Devices entry on page 11 for device requirements. Temperature calibrations are performed to match the temperature display to the actual air temperature inside the oven chamber.
