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
