These symbols mark important indications in the operating instructions
The corresponding markings on the unit mean:
Note the Operating Instructions!
Attention, outside case temperature may be hot!
General safety instructions:
The physical and chemical properties of your load
(e.g. inflammation temp. etc.) have strictly to be observed, as
otherwise considerable damages (load, oven, surroundings of
apparatus) can appear.
Please note that the Memmert ovens described here are not
explosion-proof (they do not conform to Occupational Association
Regulation VBG 24). They are therefore unsuitable for drying,
evaporating or burning-in of enamels or similar substances whose
solvent may form an inflammable mixture together with air. There
must be no possibility for inflammable or explosive gas/air
mixtures to form either inside the cabinet or in the immediate
neighbourhood of the equipment.
Excessive dust or aggressive vapours in the interior and/or around
the oven may result in sediments within the oven and cause short
circuits or damage to the electronic parts. Therefore dust and
aggressive vapours should be kept from the unit.
Transport:
Always use gloves !
If the ovens have to be carried, at least 2 persons are required for this
mode of transportation depending on size for Models 200 to 500. At
least 4 persons are required for Models 600 and 700.
ATTENTION !
Take special care when oven is working at high temperature!
Outside case temperature may be hot!

2.2 Installation options (special equipment)
The cabinet can be set up on the floor or on a table
(bench), model 500 - 700 on a subframe. Ensure at least
150 mm clearance between back of oven and wall. The
distance between ceiling and oven should not be less than
200 mm and the minimum wall spacing to the sides is 80
mm.
Generally, a sufficient circulation of air around the unit is
required.
After the cabinet has been set up horizontally the door can
be adjusted if required (see chapter - MAINTENANCE).
The model 800 is movable. The front castors are lockable by means of a fixation. In order
to assure stability, the front castors must always be adjusted to the front side of the
oven for locking.
2.3 Wall mounting (special equipment)
Up to model 700 for all ovens metal mounting brackets
(see Fig. a) are available. A mounting bracket is delivered
with an incombustible plate. The dimensions of the fixing
screws are to be choosen depending on the total weight
(equipment and loading) of the charge and the quality of
the wall.

2.4 Stacking device (special equipment)
Where the requirement is for two ovens of the same size to
be placed one on top of the other, the oven with the lower
working temperature should be placed on the bottom .
Mounting:
Remove the top of the bottom oven and turning it upside
down place the drilling jig into the back corner. Mark out
the hole position and drill a 4,2 mm diameter hole.
With the screws provided fix the centering cylinders into position. Re-fix top cover.
Model 700 can only be stacked with an intermediate frame.
3 Putting into operation
Attention !
Extremely strong shocks during transport can cause a displacement of
the temperature sensors in the holding clips inside the working space.
Take care before the first putting into operation that the temperature
sensors are checked on their correct position and if necessary are slided
cautiously backwards or forwards in the holding clip (see fig.).
Handling of the door
The door is opened by pulling the door knob, and is closed by pushing in the door knob.
Attention!
When the oven is started up for the first time it should be run under
supervision until steady conditions are reached.

The controller is operated with the aid of the digital rotary
knob in conjunction with the set-button, as described in
the subsequent chapters.
The multifunction display provides information on
temperature and programme settings.
The functions for different settings of the main switch are
described below.
NOTES :
If the set-button is not operated, the controller display shows the actual temperature.
Changing the displayed setpoint is only possible, if the set-button is held down at the
same time. This helps to avoid unintentional changes.
Turning the rotary knob rapidly changes the setpoint in large steps; turning it slowly
changes the setpoint in single digits.
When the programming is finished the set values are stored, stay in the memory and
remain stored even if the cabinet is switched off.

temperature.
On cabinets with fan, the fan can be switched on to run continuously or switched off.
FA0
= fan continuously off -
FA.1
= fan continuously on.
The cabinets can be operated and programmed with the MEMMERT software
„CELSIUS for WINDOWS®” via the serial interface and using a PC In this operating mode
the fan speed can be adjusted in 10% steps on cabinets with fan.
Note !
If the cabinet is being operated from a PC via the serial interface and a thermostating
programme is started in the main programme window in the MEMMERT software
„CELSIUS for WINDOWS®“, the set parameters can only be viewed on the controller but
can no longer be altered.

7 The serial communication interface
7.1 Communication protocol
The communication protocol of the MEMMERT controllers has been defined in
accordance with the rules of the Standards Working Party for Measurement and Control in
the chemical industry (NAMUR).
7.2 Computer connection
9-pin
serial
back of oven
A serial interface located on the back panel of the
cabinet (see illustration) is provided to link your Type E
cabinet to the PC.
The cabinet can be connected to the PC using a
commercially-available standard connecting cable (3
m). It is important to use a shielded cable. The shield
must be connected to the plug case.
If the serial interface is not used, the connector must
be covered with the protection cap.
7.3 RS232C interface
The cabinet E is equipped as standard with a serial interface RS232C. Using this interface
it is possible to operate the cabinet from a PC. This is done with the software program
„CELSIUS for WINDOWS®“.
If several cabinets are connected to a PC via the RS232C interface, a suitable interface
on the PC and a separate cable are required for each cabinet.
The normal cable length is 15 m.
Example:
Three cabinets are connected to one PC via RS232C.
