Operating outside these conditions may adversely affect the unit temperature performance. When selecting a location to install the unit, consider all environmental conditions that can impact its temperature performance.
  • Page 21: Power Source Requirements

    The recommended wall circuit breaker for these units are: • CVO-5: 15 amps CVO-5-2, CVO-10: 15 amps A separate circuit for the oven is recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to • overloading or failure of other equipment on the same circuit.
  • Page 22: General Power Safety

    INSTALLATION Accessory Outlet Fuses: Each oven ships with one or more 5x20mm fuses installed fuse holders next to the accessory outlet.

  • Page 37: Theory Of Operation

    OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION Vacuum Vacuum is supplied by an external vacuum supply (a pump or building system) connected to one of the oven vacuum ports. 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 38 OPERATION Heating Control The oven temperature controller stores an operator-selected constant temperature setpoint. When powered, the oven heats the chamber shelves to the setpoint. The controller board is wired to a solid-state temperature probe located in the chamber on the rear wall. When the controller detects that the shelf temperature has dropped below the temperature setpoint, it pulses power to the heating elements.
