Section 4 Controls, Indicators, and Connectors Vacuum Inlet Port: A serrated hose fitting used to connect an auxiliary vacuum pump to the oven. Fitting accepts a 1/4-inch (inside diameter) hose. Purge Inlet Port: A serrated hose fitting used to connect an auxiliary gas source to the vacuum oven.
Section 4 Controls, Indicators and Connectors Self-Diagnostic A group of six messages alert the operator to heater and control malfunctions. The OTC (open thermocouple) and OVR (over temp) Safety Monitors errors alternately display in the TEMP/VACUUM display. The PWRF (power failure), BATT LOW (low battery) and CRC (calibration data corruption) are displayed in the DAY/TIME display window.
Installation and Assembly Section 5 The oven is shipped assembled and ready for operation. However, before installing the oven, the operating site should be prepared to meet necessary requirements. Additionally, a few assembly procedures must be performed before the oven can be safely and properly operated. Site Requirements The standard plug configurations are shown in the illustration below.
Section 5 Installation and Assembly Site Requirements When using a tank atmosphere, a 1/4” tube to 1/4” pipe adapter is required for the regulator outlet of the tank. This adapter is not supplied. (continued) A Swagelok B-400-7-4 adapter, or equivalent, may be used. Also, 9/16”, and 1-1/8”...
Operation Section 6 Energize the oven by switching the ON/OFF toggle to the ON position. The upper display will show VER while the lower display will show 1.0, indicating the current software version. Next, the DAY/TIME display will begin alternating between the day of week and the time of day. At the same time, the TEMP/VACUUM display will alternate between chamber temperature (°C) and chamber pressure (in Hg).

Section 6 Operation Auxiliary Pump The following procedure describes the proper method used for operating a vacuum pump using the auxiliary contacts supplied on the control board Contacts (Tabs 3 and 4). Note Vacuum pump operation can be performed independently as well. Warning High voltages are present when the side panel is removed.
Section 6 Operation Auxiliary Pump 6. Reattach the side panel using the six side panel screws. Contacts (continued) 7. Connect the vacuum hose to the Vacuum Inlet Port on the side of the oven and open the Vacuum valve. Close the door and the Purge Inlet Port by turning Purge valve clockwise completely.
Section 6 Operation Operation in a Static Static environment is defined as operation at atmospheric pressure and with air - as it is present. In this case, the operator would simply place the Environment sample in the oven chamber and set the desired temperature. Operation in a Controlled Controlled environment is defined as operation with the samples in an inert gas.
Section 6 Operation Temperature/Pressure When the oven reaches a stable operating condition, the display temperature should indicate the actual center chamber temperature Offsets (±2.0°C). In the event a more accurate display reading is needed, the offset parameter, located in the MAIN MENU, can compensate for the error. To enter an offset value, press the MENU key until the upper display window shows ADJT (adjust temperature) then press UP/DOWN arrow keys to enter an offset for the display temperature.
Section 6 Operation Programming the Oven The oven controller is capable of handling 8 instructions per day, 7 days a week. Programming the controller is not difficult. Table 7, listed as MENU 6 - Program Edit Mode, provides step by step instructions for setting the control temperature and/or vacuum pump operation at any given time of day or day of the week.
Section 6 Operation Programming the Oven Tuesday: (continued) Repeat steps from Monday except Step 2. Have oven shut down after 100°C operation. Wednesday: Repeat Tuesday. Thursday: Repeat Monday. Friday: Repeat Monday. Using the information in MENU 6 (Table 7: Program Edit Mode), the program could be set up as shown in the Sample Program Array on the following page.

Section 6 Operation TCCB-Thermocouple Calibration Before beginning the temperature calibration, place a NIST calibrated thermometer in the center of the vacuum oven chamber and close the door. Press the MENU key until the upper display shows TCCB, then press the SET key. The unit enters the thermocouple calibration mode and displays the first temperature set-point (flashing).

Section 6 Operation VCMC-Vacuum Calibration (continued) Another method is to read the pressure directly from a temperature compensated barometer that can be adjusted for altitude. This method will give the pressure at the elevation of the calibration site without the need for any additional calculations or corrections.

Section 6 Operation VCMC-Vacuum Calibration (continued) 5. Press the SET key again to enter the value. The controller will sample the pressure and adjust the display to it. Note The controller will sample the vacuum data, then it will automatically close the auxiliary vacuum pump contacts for the second- point calibration.

Section 6 Operation D/AC-Temperature/Vacuum Recorder Outputs Repeat the process until the voltmeter indicates +3.00VDC. Press the MENU key to accept the new calibration data and enter the vacuum pressure recorder calibration, indicated by D/AV in the upper display. To begin calibrating the vacuum pressure recorder output, move the voltmeter leads to output pins P3-3 (+) and P3-4 (-).
Maintenance Section 7 The Model 282A is constructed and finished with materials that provide long maintenance-free service. All that is normally required is a routine cleaning of the exterior surfaces, oven shelf, and oven floor. Use a mild detergent for this purpose. Additionally, all external line connections for inert atmospheres should be checked for tightness on a weekly basis.
Section 7 Maintenance Door Alignment A good seal around the door is critical, particularly when operating the oven with a vacuum environment. Therefore, the following procedure Procedure should be performed carefully. Refer to the illustrations below and perform the following. 1.

Section 7 Maintenance Door Alignment 6. Draw a vacuum by pressing on both left and right sides of the door using your hands. Close vacuum valve at 25 inches of Hg. Procedure (cont.) 7. Tighten the two bolts for each hinge while lightly pressing each corner of the door in the area of the hinge being tightened.
Service Section 8 Caution Only trained personnel should perform service on this oven. Correcting a malfunction in the Oven primarily involves replacing the defective component. Components that can be replaced are listed under Table 11 in Replacement Parts. Most components can be accessed by removing the right side panel.
