  • Page 41: Operation

    OPERATION Safe operation of the oven is dependent on the actions and behavior of the oven operators. Operating personnel must read and understand the Safety Guidelines and 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.

PERATING RECAUTIONS •...

  • Page 43: Theory Of Operation

    OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION Vacuum Vacuum is supplied by an external vacuum supply (a pump or building system) connected to the oven vacuum port. Vacuum levels obtained in the oven chamber are dependent on pump type and performance, valve settings, and the nature of the application or process, including the volume of materials outgassed.
  • Page 44 OPERATION Heating Control The oven controller monitors the chamber shelving temperature using a thermocouple temperature probe extending into the chamber from the back wall. In a vacuum environment, the probe senses the temperature of the shelf placed immediately above it. Placement of a shelf in close proximity to, but not in contact with the probe, is crucial for accurate measurement of the shelving temperature in the vacuum chamber.
