Operating Environment
Oven Location
- Place the oven away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., heaters).
- Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.
Environmental Conditions
Condition | Temperature | Humidity |
Extreme Operating Environment | 10°C to 32°C (±2.0°C) | Up to 85% RH |
Optimal Environment | 23°C (±2.0°C) | 50% RH (±5% RH) |
Electrical Connections
A dedicated outlet with a 20 amp, 415 volt, three-phase power supply is required to operate the large-capacity drying oven.
Model | Electrical Requirements |
TD-1200 TD-2400 |
20A / 3 Phase + N + E / 415V |
Included Power Connection
- The oven is equipped with an approximately 3-metre mains power lead and a 5-pin, three-phase plug for direct connection to the power source.
Important Notes
- Ensure the correct outlet and plug are used to avoid safety hazards.
- A Certificate of Electrical Safety should be obtained from your electrical contractor for any new or additional electrical installations.
Check Fan Rotation
Upon first startup, it is essential to verify the fan rotation direction to ensure proper operation and avoid potential damage.
Correct Fan Rotation:
- The fans must rotate clockwise (as viewed from the top of the oven).
- A directional arrow is marked on the top of the oven to guide you.
- Incorrect fan rotation will result in no airflow, causing the oven elements to overheat, which may lead to equipment failure.
- If the fans are rotating anticlockwise, turn the oven off immediately.
Contact a qualified electrician to adjust the wiring in the plug to correct the rotation direction.
Important Notes
- Always use a dedicated outlet for the oven.
- Do not use power boards or extension cords to connect the oven.
WARNINGS
- Do not store items on top of the cabinet as this will also affect ventilation!
- CAUTION: When installing multiple cabinets in the same location, ensure they are positioned so that warm air exhausted from one cabinet is not drawn directly into another.
- Drying ovens should be stored inside at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.
- Drying ovens are not suitable for use with flammable solvents! They are fitted with components that may be the source of ignition.
- The drying ovens are designed for high-capacity drying, and hot moist air will be discharged.
