If the line voltage for your LCC/LCD 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
*The LCC/LCD Oven is designed for 240 volts (see oven nameplate) will operate
satisfactorily on a minimum of 208 Volts, but will result in 25% reduced heater output. If
your power characteristic is lower, contact Despatch Industries.

Stackable LCC/LCD Oven Owner’s Manual THEORY OF OPERATION
Danger!
Use care when working with nitrogen. Nitrogen presents an
asphyxiation hazard. Handle nitrogen according the safe
handling procedures listed in the material safety data sheet.
Figure 1. Stackable LCC/LCD Series Oven.
Version 26 15
3. Theory of Operation
3.1. The Stackable LCC/LCD Series Oven
The Stackable LCC/LCD Series Oven (Figure 1)
offers HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air)
filtration for processes where minimized
contamination is essential. The removable HEPA filter
is designed to provide a constant flow of 99.97% clean
air to the product being heated. The HEPA filter with
silicone seal provides 99.99% filtration.
The oven operator interface is located on the hinged
control panel at the front of the oven (Figure 1). Power
components are located on the equipment panel,
behind the hinged control panel, for easy access
(Figure 8). Electrical components are either touchproof or are shielded with Lexan7 material to prevent
accidental exposure during maintenance and
troubleshooting.
The cooling fan is controlled on/off by an event relay
in the Protocol Plus Control. The cooling fan is used
for rapid cool-down at the end of the process cycle, or
to maintain low temperature setpoints during process
cycle. It may also be turned on at the start of a process cycle to assure that starting
temperature is less than 70°C.
The nitrogen models have stainless steel water coil which permits rapid cool down and
lower temperature operation. The nitrogen oven comes with an adjustable flowmeter a for
adjusting purge rate, and needle valve for setting maintain rate, separate solenoid valves
for purge and maintain operation and a pressure relief exhaust port. An exhaust fan which
powers on whenever the oven is running maintains consistent chamber pressure control
with varied exhaust stack conditions.

retrieval systems without the written permission of Despatch Industries, unless for purchaser's personal use.
THEORY OF OPERATIONStackable LCC/LCD Oven Owner’s Manual
Stackable units are available in air or nitrogen atmosphere models.
Nitrogen atmosphere models are noted with an N suffix. Model
numbers beginning with “LL*1-*” do not use a HEPA filter.
Figure 2. Protocol Plus Displays and Control Buttons.
16 Version 26
The oven has a type 304-2B stainless steel interior and a type 304-#4 stainless steel
interior. All interior seams are continuously welded on the insulation side. This protects
the work chamber from contaminated air and permits chamber washing without
damaging the insulation. Interior ductwork may be easily removed for cleaning. Heater
frame, fan wheel and motor shaft are constructed of stainless steel.
Two electropolished stainless steel wire shelves are provided. The shelves are removable
and adjustable on two inch centers.
The LCC/LCD series design offers a stackable oven body. Multiple oven systems of two
or three oven stack options are available. When operating multiple ovens, network the
Despatch Protocol Plus controllers together with a Modbus communication option. Use
the optional Despatch Protocol Manager software to enable customer PC control of
multiple ovens.
3.2. The Protocol Plus Controller
The Protocol Plus controller has two displays. A dedicated LED upper display shows the
oven temperature (Figure 2). A two line LCD lower display provides information on
control status, high limit temperature and allows changes to be made to the control
settings. Review the Protocol Plus controller Owner’s Manual for more information.
All rights reserved. No part of the contents of this manual may be reproduced, copied or transmitted in any form or by any

Stackable LCC/LCD Oven Owner’s Manual THEORY OF OPERATION
LCC oven chamber temperature transitions must not exceed
1.5°C/minute to maintain class 100 chamber conditions. For ramp
rates greater than 1.5°C/minute and up to 5°C/minute, the LCD model
will maintain class 100 chamber conditions.
Ship, handle, store and install HEPA filters with pleats positioned
vertically. Horizontally-positioned pleats risk breaking at the adhesive
line of the filter medium. Horizontally-positioned pleats also collect
entrapped material on “shelves.” The accumulated weight of the
entrapped material may cause sag and lead to early failure of the filter
unit.
THIS SIDE UP

Version 26 17
3.3. HEPA Filters
The Stackable LCC/LCD Ovens use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters limit
particulate size in the work chamber to 0.3 microns or less.
3.3.1. Definitions
Binder: Organic substance used in filter construction to provide the media with
structural strength
Burn-Off: Process for eliminating the binder and D.O.P. contained in the filter from
the manufacturing and testing function.
D.O.P.: Dioctyl Phthalate - Aerosol particles of submicron size used in testing phase
to spot defects or measure filter efficiency.
HEPA: High Efficiency Particulate Air
3.3.2. Filter Packaging, Shipping and Handling
Packaging practice varies among the filter unit
manufacturers. Filter units are typically packaged in
cardboard cartons with varying approaches for
strengthening the container and making it impact-resistant.
Shipping cartons are typically marked with a vertical arrow
and "This Side Up" (Figure 3). A filter unit is placed in the
carton so the pleated folds are vertical (running from top to
bottom), versus side to side.
All rights reserved. No part of the contents of this manual may be reproduced, copied or transmitted in any form or by any
means including graphic, electronic, or mechanical methods or photocopying, recording, or information storage and
retrieval systems without the written permission of Despatch Industries, unless for purchaser's personal use.
THEORY OF OPERATIONStackable LCC/LCD Oven Owner’s Manual
Caution!
Despatch does not recommend D.O.P. filter testing.
18 Version 26
The filter is typically shipped in the original carton or package provide by the filter
manufacturer. This carton or package provides good storage and maximum protection
from dirt and moisture. Store and move HEPA filters upright in the shipping carton.
Minimize handling of the filter. During installation, remove the filter from the shipping
carton and install directly into the oven.
If an unpackaged HEPA filter unit must be placed with its face on the floor or other
surface, clear the surface entirely of every object or irregularity which might damage the
filter pack.
3.3.3. HEPA Filter Validation Testing
Despatch Industries guarantees the HEPA filters will meet specified efficiency ratings
when the following recommendations are followed:
The filter is properly installed The filter is run at or below 200°C, at a constant temperature The filter is run before burn-in
3.3.3.1. D.O.P. Testing
D.O.P. testing uses aerosol particles of submicron size to spot defects or measure filter
efficiency. Degenerative by-products of this test are distributed throughout the oven
chamber upon heat-up. Despatch does not recommend D.O.P. filter testing.
3.3.3.2. Class 100 Testing
Despatch guarantees a Class 100 environment within the oven. This classification is
based on measurement of the particulate level within the oven work chamber.
Class 100 testing may be performed before or after a proper filter burn-in procedure has
been performed. Despatch guarantees Class 100 condition measurements based on two
methods of test. The direct method employs an extraction-type particulate analyzer. The
indirect method involves particle settling over a specified period of time onto a clean
disk.

Stackable LCC/LCD Oven Owner’s Manual THEORY OF OPERATION
Version 26 19
3.3.3.3. Validation Testing
Despatch recommends the following test sequence for pharmaceutical Class 100 ovens.
1. Proper installation of the HEPA filters (Section 3.3.2).
2. Ambient air challenge to determine integrity of oven chamber and filter
gaskets.
3. Proper filter burn-off procedure.
4. Class 100 testing inside the work chamber.
3.3.3.4. HEPA Filter Burn-off Process Not Necessary
HEPA filters contain a binder material which protects the filter media during production
and shipping. Smoke produced from burning this binder at elevated temperatures is
undesirable during normal oven operation. Burning off the binder will ensure a clean
process at elevated temperatures.
However, when the binder is burned out of the filter media, the filter becomes
very fragile: too fragile to withstand normal shipping and handling. For this reason,
Despatch does not perform the burn-off procedure. The burn-off process is not necessary
at temperatures under 200°C.
3.3.4. HEPA Filter Unit Replacement
Periodic replacement the HEPA filter unit due to:
Resistance, or pressure drop, across the filter unit. Maximum level of resistance in
inches (water gauge) will vary depending upon the operation of the filter and the
available fan capacity. Adequate fan capacity must be available.
Loss of efficiency (leakage), determined from air-sampling measurements made
downstream of the filter unit.
Visible damage or rupture of the filter media in a unit. Change in process application. Excessive build-up of lint or combustible particulate matter on the filter unit. Water droplets in airstream through filter, free water (RH = 100%), will saturate filter
very quickly and may cause burnout or holes in burned off filter media.
High level of radiation in the vicinity of the filter unit.

3.3.5. HEPA Filter: Magnehelic Pressure Gauge
The LCC Series oven is equipped with a Magnehelic
pressure gauge which measures the pressure in front of the
HEPA filter (Figure 4). As the filter becomes dirty, pressure
increases. Despatch recommends changing the filter when
the pressure is 1” w.c. greater than when the filter was first
installed (Refer to section 4.3 for filter replacement).
Since pressure can be affected by many factors involved in
the installation, it is important to record the pressure of a new
filter as a baseline. Recorded pressure readings allow for new
readings to be periodically checked against this baseline. Use
Table 2 for recording this information (See Section 8.1 for a
blank worksheet).
For a nitrogen atmosphere oven, pressure readings also give an indication of the integrity
of the seals. If the pressure recorded in Columns D or E decrease over time, inspect the
oven seals.

4.3.1. HEPA Filter Burn-Off
4.3.1.1. HEPA Filter Burn-Off Process
The burn-off process takes place in any equipment where a new HEPA filter is used at
temperatures above 180°C / 356°F. Expect smoke, possibly a pungent odor and a light
residue on interior surfaces. This results from oxidation of the binder. Most of the binder
will leave the filter after running at a temperature of 260°C/500°F for 48 hours. Check
the oven for particles or the exhaust for smoke and odor to determine that the process is
finished.
4.3.1.2. Location of HEPA Filter Burn-Off Process
Select a location for the burn-off process where generated smoke and odor will be
ventilated with the least amount of interruption and inconvenience. Ideally this will be in
the final location for the oven. However, it may be a receiving dock, some well ventilated
space or even outside if the weather is acceptable. If this location is a very clean area, pay
special attention to an exhaust hook-up that fully captures the smoke and odor produced.
The post-Burn-off cleaning (that is, oven wipe down) may also generate dust. So take
care if in a clean room.

4.3.1.3. Recommended HEPA Filter Burn-Off Process
1. Locate the equipment exhaust opening where chamber air is being expelled.
a. If the oven filter is burned off in a clean area, be sure to handle the equipment
exhaust appropriately.
b. If the equipment is large and the exhaust stack is a permanent service connection,
connect the equipment and exhaust stack before the burn-off process.
c. If the equipment is small with no permanent exhaust duct required, arrange a
temporary connection out of the clean area that will handle the maximum
temperature of the equipment. Direct the smoke and odor outside, or to a highly
ventilated area.
2. Set the temperature control at the maximum process temperature.
a. Silicone: Ramp at 1.25°C/min to 260°C and soak for 48 hours.
b. Media Pack: Ramp at 1.25°C/min to 260°C and soak for 48 hours.
c. Termikfil (Figure 12):
i. Option 1: Ramp at 1.7°C/min (or up to 5°C/min) to 350°C and soak for 48
hours.
ii. Option 2: Ramp to process temperature and soak for three consecutive three-
hour segments over 48 hours.

means including graphic, electronic, or mechanical methods or photocopying, recording, or information storage and
retrieval systems without the written permission of Despatch Industries, unless for purchaser's personal use.
If the equipment must be moved after the burn-off process, use
considerable care.
The binder which strengthened new filters is now burned-off
and the media is very fragile.
Rough handling of either the filter alone or the equipment
with the filter installed is not recommended as it may tear the
media and lead to reduced filter efficiency.
Removal of the filter after heating can also result in damage
to the frame seal, and is only recommended when replacing
the filter.
Refer to instructions provided recorder manufacturer for more
specific installation notes.
Version 26 35
3. Start the fan after making the electrical power connections.
4. Energize the equipment heater.
a. Use enough fresh air (or N2) to remove the smoke, while still being able to
achieve and maintain the necessary temperature.
b. The completion of the burn-off period should be based on the particle level in the
oven or smoke-free exhaust and minimal odor level.
c. Check the filter hold-down nuts after burn-off and tightened as necessary.
d. For best oven particle control, this step should be repeated on a regular basis.
4.4. MRC5000 Setup (Optional)
Temperature is retransmitted to the MRC5000 recorder from the controller. Set up the

6. Maintenance
Do not attempt any service on this oven before opening the main power disconnect
switch.
6.1. Checklist
Keep equipment clean. Gradual dirt accumulation retards airflow. A dirty oven can
result in unsatisfactory operation such as unbalanced temperature in the work
chamber, reduced heating capacity, reduced production, overheated components, and
the like. Keep the walls, floor and ceiling of the oven work chamber free of dirt and
dust. Floating dust or accumulated dirt may produce unsatisfactory work results.
Keep all equipment accessible. Do not permit other materials to be stored or piled
against it.
Protect controls against excessive heat—particularly controls, motors or other
equipment containing electronic components. Temperatures greater than 51.5°C
(125°F) should be avoided.
Establish maintenance and checkup schedules. Do this promptly and follow the
schedules faithfully. Careful operation and maintenance will be more than paid for in
continuous, safe and economical operation.
Maintain equipment in good repair. Make repairs immediately. Delays may be costly
in added expense for labor and materials and in prolonged shut down.
Practice safety. Make it a prime policy to know what you are doing before you do it.
Make caution, patience, and good judgment the safety watchwords for the operation
of your oven.
Inspect oven seals if pressure readings decrease over time (Refer to Section 3.3.5 as
well as Table 2, Columns D and/or E)
6.2. Lubrication
Fan motor bearings are permanently lubricated. All door latches, hinges, door operating
mechanisms, bearing or wear surfaces should be lubricated to ensure easy operation.
