1.5.3. Power
If the line voltage for your LBB Series oven varies more than 10% from the oven voltage rating,
electrical components such as relays and temperature controls may operate erratically.
• If the line voltage is lower than the oven voltage rating, heat-up time may be significantly
longer and motors may overload or run hot.
• If the line voltage is higher than the nameplate rating, motors may run hot and draw excessive
amperage.

* Models LBB1-69, LBB2-12, -18 and -27 must be hardwired to the electric supply using 10 AWG or
larger wire suitable for at least 75 °C (167 °F).
Ovens designed for 240 volts (check your oven nameplate for power
requirement) will operate satisfactorily on a minimum of 208 volts, but
with a 25% reduction in heater power. If your power characteristics are
lower, contact Despatch industries.

LBB Series Oven Owner’s Manual SAFETY
Version 20 15
2. Safety
2.1. Safety Information
Do not work on the LBB Series oven without reading and understanding this section, which
contains important information and warnings. Ignoring these warnings can result in death, serious
injury or damage to the machine and product.
2.1.1. Lockout
Carefully follow the established Lock Out Tag Out policies of
your company in all cases.
Machine lockout places the LBB Series oven into a zero energy state and prevents accidental
machine start up. Always follow the Lockout Procedure described in this section before cleaning,
maintaining or repairing the LBB Series oven. An accidental start-up, while working on the LBB
Series oven, can result in serious injury or death.
2.1.1.1. Lockout Requirements
1. Every power source that can energize any element of the LBB Series oven must be shut off at
the closest possible power source. This includes air, water and electricity, including the
Disconnect Switch.
2. After energy sources are locked out, test to ensure circuits are de-energized.
2.1.1.2. Lockout Procedure
Personnel authorized to lock out equipment must have the necessary locks to perform the lockout.
1. Physically disconnect all electrical power to the machine or lock out the appropriate breaker
or disconnects.
2. Close all valves and bleed off any pressure.
3. Test for power by attempting a start with the machine controls.
4. Identify the Lockout Condition with a tag on the electrical disconnect and pneumatic shut off
valve.
5. When work is complete, remove all tags and restore the machine to its working state.
Danger!
Electrical panels contain high voltage. Disconnect and lock out
the power supply before working inside any electrical panels.
Failure to lock out the power supply can result in death or injury.
SAFETY LBB Series Oven Owner’s Manual
16 Version 20
2.2. Provisions for Lifting and Carrying
Caution!
Do not tilt oven while lifting. Do not lift oven using the door
handle to prevent damage to the oven and/or personnel
involved.
Caution!
Do not risk injury when lifting equipment. Take proper
precautions when lifting, carrying or otherwise maintaining
heavy items.
Notice
How to lift the different sizes of ovens:
• LBB1-23: Four people lift oven’s lower corners and place
on wheeled transport pallet. Push pallet to desired site
and lift oven from pallet, again lift using lower corners.
• LBB1-69, LBB2-12, LBB2-18, LBB2-27: Do not lift by
hand. Lift with fork lifter and transport pallet.
2.3. Maintenance
Only qualified and trained personnel should perform maintenance or repair.
2.4. Electrical Power
Only qualified and trained personnel should perform electrical maintenance or electrical repair.
Danger!
Contact with energized electrical sources may result in serious
injury or death.
LBB Series Oven Owner’s Manual SAFETY
Version 20 17
• Before performing maintenance, disconnect all electrical power from the machine. Use a
padlock and lock out all disconnects feeding power to the machine.
• Never clean or repair the oven when in operation.
• Unauthorized alterations or modifications to LBB Series oven are strictly forbidden. Never
modify any electrical circuits. Unauthorized modifications can impair the function and safety
of the LBB Series oven.
2.5. Fire
Keep the LBB Series oven clean and free of scrap materials, oil or solvents to prevent the
possibility of fire. In the event of fire:
1. Leave door (s) as they are.
2. De-energize the machine immediately by turning OFF the DISCONNECT SWITCH or removing
all power.
3. Turn off the remote main disconnect (customer supplied disconnect).
4. Shut off fuel
5. Call the fire department or use a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
Danger!
Always disconnect all power before extinguishing a fire.
Attempting to extinguish a fire in a machine connected to
electrical power can result in serious injury or death!
2.6. Equipment Lockout Requirements
To prevent injury or equipment damage during inspection or repair, the LBB Series oven must be
locked out.
Warning!
Do not place this oven in an environment harmful to electrical
components.
Placing this oven in an environment detrimental to electrical
components (for example, environments where carbon fibers,
coal dust or similar contaminants may be present) may result
in component failure.
Do not use corrosive liquids or flammable solvents in the
oven. Do not set product or liquids on top of the oven.
Liquids that may spill on the oven floor or top of oven may
cause considerable damage to the oven.
Contact Despatch for options available to help prevent such
failures.
SAFETY LBB Series Oven Owner’s Manual
18 Version 20
2.6.1. Emergency Stop
When a risk of personal injury or damage to the LBB Series oven exists, turn OFF the oven by
either the disconnect switch or removing/unplugging the cord. This shuts off all electrical power
to the oven.
2.7. Disconnecting Devices
2.7.1. Power Requirements
Despatch recommends the LBB Series Ovens have unobstructed access to a dedicated power
source.
Use a power stabilizer if voltage fluctuation is greater than ±10%
nominal voltage fluctuation.
2.7.2. Disconnecting Hard-Wired Units
LBB permanently-connected (hard-wired) ovens include models LBB1-69, LBB2-12, LBB2-18
and LBB2-27. Permanently-connected and multi-phased equipment must employ a switch or
circuit-breaker as means for disconnection.
Notice
For permanently-connected equipment, installation instructions
must specify a switch or circuit-breaker be included during the
facility oven installation for complete isolation.
The disconnecting device must be installed in close proximity to the equipment and within easy
reach of the operator. The disconnecting device must be marked as the disconnecting device for
the equipment. If the unit is equipped with an ON/OFF switch, mark the ON/OFF position
clearly.
Follow local codes and requirements for installing and using
disconnect switches.

Version 20 19
Danger!
Keep switch or circuit-breaker in building installation close to
the equipment, within easy reach of the operator and clearly
marked.
2.7.3. Disconnecting Corded Units
LBB cord-connected ovens includes model LBB1-23. To disconnect a corded unit, unplug the
cord from the power source.
2.7.4. Disconnecting Units with (Optional) Disconnect Switch
The LBB Series oven has an optional Disconnect Switch (Figure 1).
This Disconnect Switch is located on the front of the oven and is
connected to the load break switch behind the panel that disconnects or
connects power from the main line. When a risk of personal injury or
damage to the LBB Series oven exists, turn off the Disconnect Switch.
This shuts off all electrical power to the oven.

3. Theory of Operation
3.1. The LBB Series Oven
The Despatch LBB Series ovens (Figure 2) effectively distribute heat with a processing time
among the fastest of any lab oven in its class. LBB Series ovens are effectively used in testing,
preheating, sterilizing, drying, aging and curing as well as other production applications. The
LBB Series ovens incorporate forced circulating airflow with precise digital control to deliver fast
processing. The overall result is efficient productivity under strenuous
conditions.
The LBB Series ovens are precise and practical. The unique Despatch
design moves convected heat through stainless steel ducts on each side
of the oven (Figure 3). The air is circulated with a high volume fan.
The LBB Series ovens employ higher volume fans than any
competitive model. The chamber can be densely loaded without
interfering with the process. For your convenience the fresh air intake
is fixed. The exhaust rate is regulated by a damper on the back of the
unit.
