Page 37: 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 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 38: Theory Of Operation
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION Vacuum and Vacuum Automation Atmosphere is pumped out of the oven chamber through a pneumatic vacuum valve on the back of the oven and then exits through the roughing vacuum pump connected to the valve. The valve position is controlled by either the Full Vacuum or Vacuum Control functions. - Page 39 OPERATION Heating in a Vacuum In conventional ovens, powered elements transfer heat into the chamber air. The heated air then circulates by natural convection or blower fan action, surrounding the product on the shelves and gradually bringing it to temperature. In a vacuum oven, heat transfer takes place in part through infrared radiation.

OPERATION OWN THE HAMBER Note: Perform a Full Vacuum pump down of the chamber for at least 10 minutes when first putting the oven into operation in a new location to verify the vacuum supply system integrity. An operator must always be present to observe the vacuum gauge pressure display decreasing while the oven is drawing a vacuum to ensure the system is sealed. - Page 46 OPERATION Option 2 – Manual Vacuum Control Pumps down the oven chamber to a setpoint between room pressure and 1 Torr. 1. Enter a vacuum setpoint between 1 Torr and 760 Torr on the homepage vacuum tab. 2. The manufacturer strongly recommends entering an initial setpoint of at least 500 Torr to ensure the oven chamber seals completely.
- Page 47 OPERATION Option 3 – Profile Automation Note: Pump Start cannot be turned on automatically. An operator must always be present to turn on the vacuum pump and verify the oven chamber is sealed as the oven pumps down. The Vacuum Control or Full Vacuum functions may be set to automatically turn on as part of a heating profile.

Page 54: Maintaining Atmospheric Integrity
MAINTENANCE AINTAINING TMOSPHERIC NTEGRITY Periodically, inspect the door latch, trim, catch, and gasket for signs of deterioration. Failure to maintain the integrity of the door system shortens the lifespan of the unit. ASKETS The door gasket is a low-wear item. It typically only needs to be replaced due to being cut or nicked. The risk of this type of damage can be significantly reduced by opening the door to 130°, keeping it well out of the way of shelves or sample trays being removed from or inserted into the chamber. -
