  • Page 39: 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 40 OPERATION Turbomolecular Pump Hazards and Precautions Fragmentation Hazards Turbopump blades spin at tens of thousands of rotations per minute in a nearly friction-free environment with ultra-tight tolerances inside the pump housing. Catastrophic damage may result if the oven turbopump suffers a significant impact or is moved while the blades are spinning. A sudden and large internal pressure increase while spinning can also induce a catastrophic failure.
  • Page 41 OPERATION Precautions Do not shut off the oven while the turbopump is running. The sudden deceleration can lead • to damage to the pump or other systems. Do not use the oven for any of the improper application types listed above. •...

  • Page 42: Theory Of Operation

    OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION From Room Pressure to High Vacuum The oven chamber is initially pumped down by a roughing pump located in the cabinet beneath the chamber. The roughing pump runs continuously while the oven is powered, but it will not draw atmosphere from the chamber until the Start Vacuum button is pushed.
  • Page 43 OPERATION Vacuum Safety Interlocks continued If the chamber pressure rises above 1 Torr while the turbopump is active, the oven will close the gate valve and foreline valves, isolating the pump from the chamber. The oven will then open the pneumatic roughing valve, allowing the roughing pump to vacuum down the chamber down below 1 Torr.
  • Page 44 OPERATION Temperature Modes The oven operates in one of two heating modes: A single constant temperature setpoint or executing an operator-programmed, multistep heating profile. 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.

  • Page 50: Pump Down The Oven Chamber

    OPERATION OWN THE HAMBER Note: Perform a full pump down of the chamber for at least 30 minutes when first putting the oven into operation in a new location to verify the vacuum supply system integrity.

  • Page 58: 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.
