    INSTALLATION Installation of an SMO5CR-2 requires permanent connect wiring (commonly known as hardwiring), and must be performed by a qualified electrical technician. All other installation steps can be performed by the end user. EQUIRED MBIENT ONDITIONS This oven is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 15°C and 40°C (59°F and 104°F), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25°C / 77°F).
  • Page 10: Power Source Requirements

    INSTALLATION OWER OURCE EQUIREMENTS When selecting a location for the oven, check that each of the following requirements are satisfied: • The oven must be positioned so that all operators have access to the power feed disconnect in case of emergencies. The Disconnect must be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator.
  • Page 11: Lifting And Handling

    INSTALLATION IFTING AND ANDLING The oven is heavy. Use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Follow these guidelines when lifting the oven: • Lift the oven only from its bottom surface. • Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. •...

  • Page 17: 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 18: Theory Of Operations

    OPERATION HEORY OF PERATIONS To achieve the oven’s stated operation specs, the vents must be fully closed. Operating the oven with the vents open impacts the oven chamber temperature uniformity and stability. This may or may not speed drying rates, depending on the nature of your samples or product. During normal operations the vents are intended to be opened only while the product or samples are cooling.
  • Page 19 OPERATION Heating Profiles The Watlow controller can store up to four heating profiles, each with ten steps. Please see the Programed Operations section on page 27, and the Watlow EZ-Zone Profile Programing Guide for more details. A profile can be launched whenever the unit is running in manual mode. Heating profiles should allow adequate time for the oven chamber to heat to the first temperature in the profile, prior to continuing to the second step of the profile.
  • Page 20: Preparing The Oven For Use

    OPERATION REPARING THE VEN FOR Preform the following steps to prepare the oven for use after installing it in a new workspace environment. Note that it will take approximately 13 hours to run the bur-in procedure for the HEPA filter. Optional: If you will be performing a temperature display accuracy verification as part of your set up, Sheldon Manufacturing recommends introducing the temperature probe of your temperature reference device into the oven chamber now, prior to powering the oven.
  • Page 21: Set The Over Temperature Limit

    OPERATION ET THE EMPERATURE IMIT This procedure sets the Over Temperature Limit backup system. Normally the system is set 5°C above the highest set point temperature you will be using during your current application or process. Always set at least 5°C above the hottest temperature of a heating profile. Note: If this is the first use of the oven, set the Over Temperature Limit to 325°C or higher to prepare to help ensure the OTL system will not interfere with the Burn-In procedure.
  • Page 22: Hepa Filter Burn-In

    OPERATION HEPA F ILTER A HEPA filter must be burned in prior to its first use. The HEPA filter will fill with gas and produce significant smoke during the burn-in. The oven’s intake and exhaust vents must be open throughout the procedure.
  • Page 23 OPERATION Burn-In Heating Profile The table below shows the burn-in process as a programed heating profile for the Watlow controller in a 25°C ambient environment. Please consult the Programing Guide – Watlow EZ-Zone Controller Heating Profiles document for the details of how to program a heating profile. Step Step Type Set Point...
  • Page 24: Temperature Accuracy Verification

    OPERATION EMPERATURE CCURACY ERIFICATION Note: Performing an accuracy verification of the temperature display requires a temperature reference device. Please see the Reference Sensor Devices entry on page 6 for device requirements. Optional: A verification of the temperature display accuracy may be carried out when preparing the oven for use, if required by your laboratory or production protocol.
  • Page 25 OPERATION Note: If you have not done so already, set the OTL limit to 325°C to prevent the OTL heating cutoff from interfering with the verification process. Please see the Set Over Temperature procedure on page 21. Verifying the Temperature Display Accuracy 1.
  • Page 26: Closed Vents

    OPERATION LOSED ENTS The unit is intended to be run with both vents closed in ordered to achieve its stated operating temperature specifications. The unit can be run with one or both vents open, however, the oven may not achieve its stated chamber uniformity, stability, or heating or recovery times. Drying times are dependent on the nature of your product or samples, as well as the volume placed in the oven chamber.
  • Page 27: Programmed Operations

    OPERATION ROGRAMMED PERATIONS The Watlow controller can hold four (4) ten-step heating profiles. Additionally, profiles may be combined by programing profile steps sequentially to run as a single profile of between two (2) and forty (40) steps. Please see the Programing Guide – Watlow EZ-Zone Controller Heating Profiles document that comes included with the oven for instructions on how to program heating profiles.
