Reproducible annealing of thermoluminescent dosimeters is essential to maintain constant sensitivity and low background readings. Use of the Carbolite TLD Annealing Oven ensures that the best results are consistently obtained. The fan assisted air recirculating system eliminates the temperature gradients encountered in simple gravity convection ovens.
2.0 I NSTALLATION Unpacking & Handling Lift the unit by its base. Do not use the door or any other projecting cover or component to support the equipment when moving it. Use two people to carry the oven where possible. Remove any packing material from the inner chamber before use.
PERATING NSTRUCTIONS Operating Program The program consists of the stages shown in the graph below. The rates of temperature rise, dwell temperature and dwell times are all adjustable by the user. The general format of the program is installed at the manufacturing stage, with initial values as shown in the table below. function initial setting program...
