C.2 General Overview The Pyrolytic Oven is designed to clean glass or metal parts contaminated with residues of various organic substances such as polymers, waxes, resins, asphalts, tars, or other similar contaminants. Cleaning is done entirely with heat, eliminating the use of solvent or chemical cleaning. Organic residues are thermally decomposed and vaporized from glass or metal parts at 900 degrees F.
Organic Residues That Can Be Cleaned Virtually any contaminant which is organic in nature can be removed at the normal operating temperature of the cleaning oven, 950 degrees F. In recent years, new high temperature polymers have been developed which are very resistant to heat and are not easily removed thermally.
For the oxidation stage, a cycle time is located on the settings screen, with an adjustable range of 1 to 1000 hours. The Factory setting of 2 hours is recommended for most applications. NOTE: For removing asphalts, a factory setting of 3 to 4 hours is recommended as asphalts are among the more difficult organics to remove.
C.3 Product Specifications Environmental Operating: 17°C to 27°C; 20% to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing. Conditions Installation Category II (overvoltage) in accordance with IEC 664. Pollution Degree 2 in accordance with IEC 664. Altitude Limit 2,000 Meters Storage -25°C to 65°C; 10% to 85% relative humidity Cleaning Temperature 800 –...
NOTE: Allow at least 4 inches of space between the oven and any vertical surfaces. NOTE: Pyro-Clean ovens are supplied with a power cord but not a plug. The plug will need to handle 240Vac @ 30A.
D.3 Electrical Service The oven has been completely tested and checked at ATS before shipment. A power cord 10 feet long is supplied with the oven. You will need to supply a plug and receptacle for 30 amp, 240 volt, single phase. The total power use of the Pyrolytic Oven unit is about 6600 watts.
For convenience, the system will allow you to turn on the draft inducer and see the current draft. See the “Manual Screen” section of this manual, but please consult ATS if uncertain how to measure the small negative pressures required by Pyrolytic Ovens.
CAUTION: IF THE OVEN IS EXHAUSTED INTO A POWERED VENT SYSTEM SUCH AS A LAB HOOD, THE HOOD EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE ON ALL THE TIME THAT THE OVEN IS ON. DO NOT LEAVE THE BUILDING AND SHUT OFF THE HOOD, THEREBY SHUTTING OFF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR THE OVEN.
See Figure D.1 for pipe location. Figure D.1 - Oxidizer Pipe It is important to recognize that Pyrolytic Ovens manufactured by ATS are not ordinary ovens. Pyrolytic Oven systems are specialized, high-temperature systems specifically designed and built for thermal cleaning of valuable objects such as lab glass or metal parts.

E.2 Main Screen Figures E.2 shows the Main Screen that is shown when the Pyrolytic Oven is started. It allows you to setup and run oven cycles. Figure E.2 - Main Screen This screen will show values for Oxidizer chamber temperature and Oven temperature. It also has several controls to set-up and run the oven.
Figure E.3 - Main Screen, Alarm State Figure E.4 - Main Screen, Delay Start State Figure E.4 illustrates what the Main Screen looks like when the system is in delay start state. Note the Remaining Time displayed. This will show up for the Preheat Delay, Oven Soak, and the Run Cycle states and will display the time remaining for this part of the cycle.
Oven Soak Indicates the oxidizer chamber is stable at temperature, after which the oven starts to soak temperature. It is at this stage that “smoke” is generated to burn off in the oxidization chamber. The Oxidization chamber and the oven will interact so that the oxidization chamber is not overloaded.
The screen will show the current version of the software in the PLC and HMI. This is very important information, and is most often ask for when calling into ATS service. A user ID should be set to the user access you wish to use.
Passwords Button Will not be displayed until the correct ID and Password has been entered. Once it is displayed, pressing it will go to the password screen. (Default ID: 2, Password: 222222). Standardize Button Will not be displayed until the correct ID and Password has been entered. Once it is displayed, pressing it will go to the standardize screen.
E.5 Settings Screen Figure E.14 shows the Settings Screen. It is shown when the Settings Button is pressed on the View Screen. It allows set up of the system. Figure E.14 - Settings Screen Cycle Time The amount of time the oven sits at cycle temperature before it shuts off and goes into cool down. IP Address Used to allow someone at a remote location to monitor the system using a VNC viewer program.
Done Button Will return you to the View Screen. E.6 Manual Screen Figure E.15 is the Manual Screen. It is shown when the Manual Button is pressed on the View Screen. It allows trouble shooting of the system. Caution should be used as all system safety features are disabled during Manual operation. Figure E.15 - Manual Screen Six Buttons Across Top of Screen Allow you to turn individual sub-systems on and off to test them.

Warnings, alarms, and faults are color coded in yellow, orange, and red. Refer to the list below for descriptions of these common operation notifications. If additional assistance is required, contact the ATS Service Department at +1-724-283-1212.
1. After the Pyro-Clean Oven has been installed and properly vented with the correct draft, it is ready to operate. However, it is best to run the oven through a short cleaning cycle with it empty to: a. Familiarize the operator with the normal operating sequence and location of the controls.
back of the oven to prevent any organic material from dripping on the oven door gaskets. F.4 Cycle Times for Cleaning The Pyrolytic Oven is equipped with an Automatic Cycle Time Feature which adjusts itself to the load placed in the oven.
WARNING: Do not overload the oven with metal parts containing heavy organic residues. The maximum load for the Pyro-Clean Oven is 1 to 2 pounds of polymer or plastic. Consult Applied Test Systems if heavier loads need to be cleaned.

start to heat to 900°F. The status display will change to “Oven Soak”. 11. In the “Oven Soak” stage, the oven will heat up creating smoke that gets burnt off in the oxidizer chamber. If the oxidizer temperature goes over 1500°F it will shut off the oven heat until the temperature goes below 1350°F. It will then turn the oven back on.
G. Troubleshooting G.1 Troubleshooting Electrical Problems A ladder wiring diagram for the Pyrolytic Oven is included in this manual, along with a drawing of the inside of the control box showing the lay-out of the parts and their identification. A qualified electrician should find this sufficient to locate any electrical problems with the unit.
H. Maintenance H.1 Door Seals and Gaskets The oven door has two gaskets. One is a high temperature gasket which serves both as a seal and a heat barrier to protect the silicone gasket. Periodic replacement of the high temperature gasket is considered necessary routine maintenance.
H.6 Replacement of Parts When electrical components must be replaced, refer to the Parts List included in this manual for the appropriate descriptions. Consult Factory for current prices. Electrical parts on the oven are warrantied for one year. Every Six Months 1.
