Intended Use
These specialised drying ovens are built to meet the requirements of Australian Standard AS1681-2002. They feature positive and continuous minimum ventilation with an inbuilt purge timer to remove volatile vapours.
Designed to operate between ambient +10°C and 200°C, they are available in 150-litre and 500-litre capacities. Both models are designed and manufactured by Thermoline for storing volatile materials such as bitumen, paint, and varnish.
Uncrating/Unpacking
Unpacking process for foam wrapped and crated:
The TD-AS1681 volatile material oven will be delivered foam wrapped and on its castors via sensitive freight (Fig 1) or in a box on a skid (Fig 2).- If the TD-AS1681 volatile material oven is delivered on a skid, a forklift may be required to lift it off the skid.
- Please only dispose of the packaging once the the oven is inspected. If any damage is found, contact your supplier or Thermoline immediately at:
- Phone: +61 2 9604 3911
- Email: service@thermoline.com.au
Moving
Moving the TD-AS1681 volatile material oven:
- Ensure that the TD-AS1681 volatile material oven is rolled on an even and flat surface. Uneven surfaces can cause the oven to fall over.
IMPORTANT
TD-AS1681 volatile material ovens are 'Top Heavy'. Do not move the cabinet too quickly. (Fig 3 & 4)
Operating Environment
Oven Location
- Place the oven away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., heaters).
- Ensure the room's ambient temperature does not exceed the oven's operational limits.
- As volatile substances are purged from the oven, external ventilation of the oven exhaust is required.
- 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.
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) |
Bench Top Location
- Under no circumstances should ovens be stacked on top of each other (Fig. 2).
- Thermoline 150-litre ovens are equipped with removable castors for benchtop storage. To safely remove the castors, carefully tip the cabinet onto its back or side and unscrew the castors from the base (Fig. 3). This task requires two people—please seek assistance.
Electrical Connections
Depending on the model, TD-AS1681 volatile material ovens require either a 10amp, 230V, 50Hz power supply or a 15amp, 230V, 50Hz power supply. The specific requirements for each model are shown in the table below:
| Model | Electrical Requirements |
| TD-150F-AS1681 | 10A/230V |
| TD-150F-AS1681 | 15A/230V |
Electrical Conditions
- All TD-AS1681 volatile material ovens include a 2.5m removable mains power lead with a three-pin plug. For models requiring a 15A connection, a straight plug is provided, while other models use a right-angle female IEC plug.
- Ensure the product is reasonably distanced from the power supply to prevent strain on the lead.
- Each oven features a male IEC socket for power connection.
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.
- TD-AS1681 volatile material 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.
- If the oven's exhaust could create a hazardous atmosphere in the installation area, adequate ventilation and other safety precautions are required.
