III. USING YOUR OVEN
A. Oven Components and Controls
SciGene ovens use a radiant heating system to warm the walls of the
stainless steel interior, providing uniform heating of air within the rotator
compartment. Operating temperature (ambient + 5 to 99°C) is regulated to
±0.2°C from set point by means of a high performance temperature
controller (Watlow EZ-Zone) and a sensitive Resistive Thermal Device (RTD)
used as temperature sensor. The RTD is a stainless steel probe located at
the top of the rotator compartment. SciGene ovens simplify calibration by
incorporating a secondary RTD mounted with the primary RTD.
Key Components:
• Temperature Controller - used to set and observe chamber
temperature
• Power Switch - turns on power to the heater.
• Jog Switch – turns on rotator with door open at selected speed
• Rotator Speed control - turns on and controls rotator speed
• Door Latch –
secures the door closed with button release to open
