INSTALLATION ARDWIRE EQUIREMENT The oven requires permanent connect wiring (commonly known as hardwiring). Wiring to the power source must be performed by a qualified electrical technician. All other Installation steps may be performed by the end user. NSTALLATION HECKLIST Carry out the procedures and steps listed below to install the oven in a new workspace location and prepare it for use.
Page 14
INSTALLATION EQUIRED MBIENT ONDITIONS This oven is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 15°C and 40°C (59°F and 104°F), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25°C / 77°F). Operating the unit outside of these conditions may adversely affect its temperature range and stability.
Page 15
IRING The oven comes provided with an integral 6 inch (15 cm) wire braid of: SMO14-2 – Two 14-gauge high-temperature (300°C) hot wires and a 14-gauge earth ground. • SMO28-2 SMO28G-2 -- Two 10-gauge high-temperature (300°C) hot wires and a 10-gauge •...
INSTALLATION 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. •...
Page 17
INSTALLATION NSTALL THE Place the unit in a workspace location that meets the criteria discussed in the previous entries of the Installation section. Verify that the oven stands level and does not rock. Adjust the leveling feet as needed. • Power: The oven may now be hardwired to its power source •...
GRAPHIC SYMBOLS The oven is provided with multiple graphic symbols on its exterior.

CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW Figure 6: Control Panel Power Switch The green Power Switch controls overall power to the oven. When in the ON ( I ) position the switch illuminates and the oven will heat to and maintain the currently programmed temperature set point. Timer Switch The black Timer Switch controls power to the timer system.
Page 22
CONTROL PANEL Main Temperature Display and Control Marked SET TEMPERATURE, this display shows the current oven chamber air temperature accurate to 1°C. The display can also show an adjustable temperature set point in the display’s set point mode, as well as an adjustable offset while in calibration mode. The arrow buttons can be used to adjust the temperature set point or place the unit in its calibration mode, and then enter a calibration offset value.
OPERATION Safe operation of the oven is dependent on the actions and behavior of the oven operators. Operating personnel must read and understand the Operating Precautions in this section prior to operating the oven. The operators must follow these instructions to prevent injuries and to safeguard their health, environment, and the materials being treated in the oven, as well as to prevent damage to the oven.
Page 24
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION Heating When powered, the SMO oven chamber heats to and then maintains the currently programmed temperature set point. The set point may be adjusted by the end-user using the Set Temperature controls. Heating is controlled by a microprocessor controller board that stores the temperature set point. The microprocessor senses the chamber air temperature via a solid-state probe located in the airstream on the back wall of the chamber.
Page 25
OPERATION Timed Heating Profile The oven is provided with a Timer subsystem that can run the oven in a steady-state heating profile at the current temperature set point from 1 minute up to 99 hours, 59 minutes. Allow the oven to heat to temperature prior to launching the profile.
OPERATION Note: Performing a temperature accuracy verification requires a suitable temperature reference device. Please see the Temperature Reference Device entry on page 6 for the device requirements. UT THE VEN INTO PERATION Carry out the following steps and procedures to put the oven into operation after installing it in a new workspace environment.
OPERATION ET THE EMPERATURE OINT Adjust the oven temperature set point to that of your application. 1. Set OTL control to its maximum setting, if not already set to max. Turning the OTL all the way to the right (clockwise) prevents the heating •...
OPERATION ET THE EMPERATURE IMIT This procedure sets the Over Temperature Limit heating cutoff to approximately 5˚C above the current temperature set point. Perform the steps below once the oven has been stabilized at your application temperature set point for at least a 30 minutes. 1.

Page 31
OPERATION AUNCH A EATING ROFILE The oven can be run in a timed steady-state heating profile at the current temperature set point. Allow the oven to come up to temperature prior to launching a profile. See the Setting the Timer procedure on page 29 for how to set the length of the profile.
Page 32
OPERATION RYING ACKS AND OTHER CCESSORIES Make sure that any accessories used inside the oven chamber, such as drying racks, are suitable for your application and will not suffer damage when brought to temperature. Always set the OTL cutoff system to approximately 5°C above your application temperature set point in order to safeguard accessories against over temperature events.
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 Hazardous Material Spill Containment protocol.
USER MAINTENANCE Disinfecting Disinfect the oven if algae, mold, bacteria, or other biological contaminants are an issue. For maximum effectiveness, disinfection procedures are typically performed after cleaning. Keep the following points in mind when disinfecting the oven: Turn off and disconnect the unit to safeguard against electrical hazards. •...

USER MAINTENANCE ALIBRATING THE EMPERATURE ISPLAY Note: Please see the Reference Sensor Device entry on page 6 for the minimum device requirements. Temperature calibrations match the temperature display to the actual air temperature inside the oven chamber. The actual air temperature is supplied by a reference sensor device. Calibrations compensate for software drifts in the controller as well as deviations caused by the natural material evolution of the sensor probe in the heated chamber space.
Page 36
USER MAINTENANCE 5 ) Heat up and stabilization period. The oven chamber must be stable at temperature in order to perform an accurate • calibration. The temperature is considered stabilized when the oven chamber has operated at your • calibration temperature for at least 30 minutes with no fluctuations of ±0.2°C or greater. 30 Minute Minimum Stability Period 150°C...
Page 37
USER MAINTENANCE Calibration continued Place the oven in temperature calibration mode. Set Temperature a. Press and hold both the UP and DOWN arrow buttons simultaneously. The Temperature Display will show the letters “C O”, • Set Temperature then begin flashing the current temperature value. Note: If an arrow key is not pressed for five seconds, the Temperature Display will cease flashing, and store the last displayed value as the new Current Temp.
Page 38
USER MAINTENANCE Calibration continued After the oven has achieved the set point, wait for Reference Device the oven chamber temperature to stabilize. The chamber temperature is stabilized when • no fluctuations of 1°C or greater have been detected with the reference device for a minimum of 30 minutes.
