2.2 Transport
Always use gloves!
If the oven has to be carried, at least 2 persons are required to transport it.
2.3 Initial start-up
When the oven is started up for the first time, it should be supervised continuously until steady conditions
have been reached.
2.4 Oven load
Full consideration must be given to the physical and chemical properties of your load (e.g. combustion
temperature etc.) in order to prevent serious damage to load, oven and surroundings.
Please note that the Memmert ovens described here are not explosionproof (they do not conform to the
Industrial Association Specification VBG 24) and are therefore not suitable for drying, evaporating and
burning-in of paints, enamels or similar materials whose solvents may produce an inflammable mixture
with air. There must be no possibility of the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures either within the
oven chamber or in the immediate surroundings of the equipment.
Large amounts of dust or corrosive fumes inside the oven chamber or in the surroundings of the equipment
may produce deposits within the oven and lead to short-circuits or damage the electronics. It is therefore
important that adequate precautions are taken against excessive dust or corrosive fumes.
In order to ensure proper air circulation inside the chamber, there must be sufficient spacing of the load
inside the oven. Do not place any load on the floor, against the side walls or underneath the ceiling of the
chamber (heating ribs). In order to ensure optimum air circulation the shelves must be so inserted that the
air spacings between door, shelf and rear chamber wall are approximately equal.
The maximum number and the loading of the shelves can be found in the table in the Section „Technical Data“.
2.5 Safety check
The door and the security glass panels must be checked regularly for scratches or damage. No vacuum
must be applied to the oven if there is any damage.

6. Starting up
1. Connect the vacuum connection (5) to the vacuum pump connection (6) of the pump module or to
a suitable external vacuum pump, using the Neoprene connection tubing (7) supplied with the
pump module.
2. When using a pump module, the connections for the pump purge (8+11) must be linked
together using the cable (10) supplied with the equipment.
3. Plug in the mains supply plugs of the supply cables (9+12).
4. If the oven is to be charged with inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) the gas cylinder must be connected only
to the gas inlet IN2 (4). The maximum pressure of 1.5 bar must not be exceeded! (Use pressure
reducing valve for 1.5 bar max.)
5. Push in the thermotrays (14) as far as possible. Any thermotrays not being used should be placed
on a soft surface.
6. Close the door of the vacuum oven.
7. Switch on the main switch (19) of the optional pump module.
8. Switch on the main switch (15) of the vacuum unit.
Warning
On first start-up do not operate
the oven unsupervised until
steady conditions have been reached!

7. Switching output for external vacuum pump purge valve and pump control
The 3-way switched output serves to control the vacuum
pump of the optional pump module (PM) of the vacuum oven
(VO).
7.1 Vacuum pump purge valve
When loads with a high moisture content are being dried
there is a possibility during prolonged operation that the
pump output decreases through condensate forming in the
pump heads. The diaphragms can be blown free by briefly
purging the pump heads with fresh air. This improves the
effectiveness of the drying process.
Note:
In conjunction with the optionally available pump modules
PM 200, PM 400 and PM 500 this cyclic purge takes place
automatically as the pump performance deteriorates.
Decisive advantage:
The drying process takes place more rapidly and with reduced
energy consumption, the wear on the pump is reduced.
This function can be de-activated by removing the pump
purge connecting cable at the back of the unit.
7.2 Demand-controlled vacuum pump shut-down
After the end of a drying programme, or after prolonged operation with any vacuum demanded by the
controller, the vacuum pump incorporated in the pump module (PM) is switched off via the control line.
Note:
A control signal switches off the vacuum pump incorporated in the optional pump module (PM). The
signal lamp in the main switch of the pump module remains alight even when the vacuum pump has been
switched off via the control line.
Decisive advantage:
The demand-controlled shut down of the vacuum pump reduces energy consumption and increases the
life of the vacuum pump by reducing the wear on the pump diaphragms.
This function can be de-activated by removing the pump purge connecting cable at the back of the unit.
The vacuum pump is then running continuously. unit.

PERFECT page 14
8. Loading and Inertgas
The load must only be placed on the thermotrays.
Slide in the thermotrays up to the stop.
Do not dry or heat any load which releases fumes developing an inflammable mixture in
combination with air.
Provide optimum heat transfer from the thermotray to the load. Ensure that the load rests properly
on the tray.
For maximum number of trays and load capacity of the thermotrays see the Table Technical data.
The table below gives recommendations for the appropriate loading of the trays which in turn is
essential for a largely uniform temperature distribution inside the oven.
Safety note:
When the oven is being operated with inert gas (nitrogen, helium, neon, argon, krypton) there is a small
escape of the gas used into the environment.
The list of MAK values (maximum workplace concentration) and of BAT values (biological workplace
tolerance values) does not contain any information concerning the inert gases mentioned above.
It is however still important to ensure good ventilation of the room.
The appropriate specifications of the trade association publication „Guidelines for the Laboratory“ (ZH1/119)
as well as DIN 1946 Part 7 „Room Air Technology (VDI Ventilation Rules)“ should be observed.
Precautions when handling gas cylinders:
Avoid any open fire in the area near the gas cylinders. Inert gas is not combustible, but it is
possible for the cylinder to burst.
Store cylinders below 50°C in a well ventilated location. Prevent ingress of water and any return
flow into the cylinder.
Connect up the gas cylinder only through a pressure reducing valve (1.5 bar max.).
When not in use, close the shut-off valve.
The instructions and safety information of the gas supplier have to be observed.

9. Guidelines for evaporating liquids in Memmert-vacuum ovens.
Do not heat liquids in closed vessels.
In order to prevent condensation in the working space, heat liquids using a drying programme
(with venting cycles).
In order to prevent excessive condensation in the working space, working temperature and venting
cycles should be chosen to suit the moisture content of the load.
Do not heat any liquids releasing fumes which form an inflammable mixture with air.
During the evaporation of liquids with a large surface area it is possible that the cooling produced
during evaporation may result in the set temperature not being reached.
•
•
•
•
•
The oven described in these Operating Instructions
must never be used for drying or heating of loads
releasing fumes which may form an
inflammable mixture in combination with air!
The ovens described here must never be operated
in areas with a hazardous atmosphere!

24. Calibration
24.1 Calibration-temperature
User-calibration of oven and controller, with three calibration temperatures selected by the user.
CAL1 temperature calibration at low temperature
CAL2 temperature calibration at medium temperature
CAL3 temperature calibration at high temperature
Either a positive or a negative calibration correction can be applied to each selected calibration point.
General calibration instructions:
1. Select the required calibration temperature in SETUP and set the corresponding calibration
correction to 0.0°C.
2. Measure the deviation from the selected calibration temperature under steady conditions, using a
reference instrument.
3. Set the calibration correction in SETUP. If the measured reference temperature is too low, the
calibration correction setting has to have a negative sign.
4. Carry out a check measurement using the reference meter.
5. The procedure can be carried out for up to 3 calibration temperatures.
Example: Correction of a temperature deviation in the load at 100°C.
1. Set calibration temperature CAL.2 to 100.0°C in SETUP and set the corresponding calibration
correction to 0.0°C.
2. Using a calibrated reference instrument, an actual temperature of 99.6°C is measured in normal
operation for a setpoint temperature of 100°C.
3. In SETUP set the calibration correction for CAL.2 to –0.4°C.
4. After the oven has settled down the reference instrument should read 100.0°C.
5. With CAL.1 a further calibration temperature can be programmed below CAL.2 , and with CAL.3 an
additional calibration temperature above CAL.2.

24.2 Calibration-pressure (vacuum)
User-calibration of the oven on the controller at three user-selected vacuum values:
CAL1 pressure calibration at low vacuum pressure
CAL2 pressure calibration at medium vacuum pressure
CAL3 pressure calibration at high vacuum pressure
A positive or a negative calibration correction can be applied to each selected calibration point.
General calibration instructions:
Select the required calibration vacuum in SETUP and set the corresponding calibration correction
to 0mb.
Using a standard vacuum gauge, measure the deviation at the selected calibration vacuum under
steady conditions.
Set the calibration correction in SETUP. If the measured vacuum pressure is too low, the calibration
correction has to be set with a negative sign.
Carry out a check measurement with the reference gauge.
The procedure can be performed for up to 3 calibration vacuum pressures.
Example: to correct the vacuum deviation in the load at 500 mbar.
1. Set calibration vacuum CAL2 in SETUP to 500mb and set the corresponding calibration
correction to 0mb.
2. In normal operation and at the vacuum setting of 497 mbar, an actual vacuum pressure
of 503 mbar is measured using a reference gauge.
3. Set calibration correction CAL2 in SETUP to –3mb.
4. After the oven has stabilised, the reference gauge should indicated 500 mbar.
5. A further vacuum calibration below CAL2 can be programmed with CAL1, and another one above
CAL2 with CAL3.

25. Communication interface for the PC
25.1 Communication interface RS232C
The oven is provided as standard with a serial communication interface RS232C according to
DIN 12 9001. Using this interface it is possible to control the oven from the PC and to produce reports. This
is done using the “Celsius 2005“ software.
For this purpose the oven has to be assigned a unique device address in sub-menu SETUP, option ADDRESS;
This is the address through which the PC communicates with the oven. The default setting is ADDRESS 0.
Using this address each oven can be addressed by the PC and programmed.
If several ovens are connected by the RS232C interface to one PC, each oven requires a corresponding
interface on the PC as well as a separate cable.
The maximum cable length is 15 m.
For connection of the oven to the PC there is a 9-pin connector on the back of the oven. The oven can be
connected to the PC using a screened interface cable. The screen has to be connected to the plug case. If
the serial interface is not being used, the cover supplied has to be fitted !

When so ordered, the oven can be equipped at the factory with an RS485 interface instead of the RS232C
interface. This permits networking of several ovens (up to 16) with a single PC using a common 2-wire circuit.
The system is operated using the “Celsius 2005” software. A unique device address has to be assigned to
the oven in sub-menu SETUP, option ADDRESS. This is the address through which the PC communicates
with the oven. The default setting is ADDRess 0. Using this address each oven can be addressed by the PC
and programmed.
For this purpose the PC must be equipped with an RS485 interface or must be fitted with an RS232/RS485
converter. The cabling has to suit the individual location using a screened cable. The maximum total length
of the cable is 150 m.
A maximum of 16 devices can be addressed on the RS485 bus. A termination resistance of 220 Ohm has
to be connected to the last device.

26. Report memory
The controller continuously records all relevant measurements, settings and error messages at 1-minute
intervals.
The internal report memory is arranged as a ring memory, i.e. the new data always overwrite the oldest
report data.
The report function can not be switched off but remains active at all times. The data are stored in the controller,
protected against any manipulation. The controller memory can be read to produce documentation.
Every data set is stored with a unique date stamp.
The size of the internal report memory is 1024kB. This corresponds to a memory capacity of approximately
6 months‘ continuous operation.
During ramp operation a larger amount of data are stored in the memory so that the maximum report
duration may be reduced.
If the power supply is interrupted, the instants of power failure and restoration of power are stored in the
controller.
26.1 Reading the report memory
Past report data can be printed either via the RS232C interface or by a PLC3-compatible printer connected
to the oven.
26.2 Reading the report memory into the PC via RS232C
Using the “Celsius 2005“ program the record memory of the controller can be read via the RS232C interface
into a PC where it can be shown graphically, printed, and stored in memory.
Note:
The report memory of the controller is not altered or cleared by the reading procedure.
26.3 Printing the report memory from the oven
(see Section: „Printer“)
If the printer is not ready, e.g. cartridge empty or no paper, no report data are lost. Prints can be repeated
several times since the report memory is not cleared after printing.
The GLP data header is automatically included in the print-out: it contains the following information:
- Printing date
- Time period of report
- Running page number
- Serial number and oven designation

27. Memory card: MEMoryCardXL
A temperature programme with up to 40 ramps can be programmed on the MEMoryCardXL. Programming
can take place directly on the controller or through the PC program “Celsius 2005”.
For improved clarity it is recommended that extensive programmes are prepared graphically on the PC.
Where a MEMoryCardXL is programmed, it can be read only on the same oven type for which it has been
programmed.
Marking:
The text field of the MEMoryCardXL can be marked individually with text or diagram
27.1 Programming the MEMoryCardXL from the oven
Insert the MEMoryCardXL into the slot in the control panel field.
The selected settings are written directly to the card and stored on it. After the card has been removed, the
programme stored internally in the controller becomes again activated.
27.2 Programming the MEMoryCardXL from a PC with the oven
Link the PC to the oven with an interface cable via the serial interface (see Section: „Communication
interface“). Insert the MEMoryCardXL into the input slot in the control panel field.
Write protection:
The Memory Card XL can be provided with write protection using the PC program “Celsius 2005”. The
programme on the card can then not be altered on the controller.
27.3 Programming the MEMoryCardXL from a PC using the read-write unit
Using a read-write unit (which can be purchased separately) the MEMoryCardXL can be programmed
from a PC with “Celsius 2005” without any connection to an oven. It is important to ensure that the
MEMoryCardXL has to be inserted with the contact field pointing upwards towards the marking of the
read-write unit.
PERFECT page 46
Note:
The programme remains stored on the Memory Card XL after the card has been removed from the unit. It
can however be overwritten at any time by the PC using “Celsius 2005”.
Details on programming the MEMoryCardXL with PC and Celsius 2005 can be found
in the Celsius Operating Manual and in the Online Help.
27.4 Documentation on memory card MEMoryCardXL
The actual temperatures can be documented continuously on the memory card while the programme is
running from the chip card. After the programme has been completed they can be read and printed using
“Celsius 2005”. The operation is described in the “Celsius 2005” Operating Manual.
A certain amount of storage space is provided for documentation depending on the programme duration.
The sampling rate is set automatically by the controller depending on the programme duration.
With a programme duration up to 270 hours the documentation of the actual values on the MEMoryCardXL
takes place with a 1-minute cycle. With programmes of longer duration the sampling time is extended up
to 30 min max.
Documentation is started afresh on each programme start; the old report data are overwritten.
PERFECT page 47
28. USER-IDcard (available as optional extra)
The USER-IDcard stores the serial number of the oven and a unique user number in encrypted format. The
USER-IDcard therefore functions only in the oven with the corresponding serial number.
Each log-on via the USER-IDcard is documented in the internal flash memory.
If the USER-IDcard is inserted, the SETUP menu includes the additional item ID-LOCK. When the setting is
changed to ON, all changes to the oven are blocked after the chip card has been removed.
The blockage through the USER-IDcard is indicated by the illuminated key symbol
on the control
panel.
Important:
If the oven is blocked through the USER-IDcard, there is no
programme operation with the MEMoryCardXL since that card could
be removed at any time and reprogrammed externally.

29. Cleaning
Regular cleaning of the easy-to-clean inside of the chamber prevents deposits which over time can detract
from the appearance and the functionality of the stainless steel chamber .
The metal surfaces of the oven can be cleaned with commercially available cleaning agents for stainless
steel. It is important to ensure that no rust-forming object comes into contact with the chamber or the
stainless steel casing. Rust deposits cause infection of the stainless steel.
If any contamination causes rust stains on the surfaces of the chamber, such spots must be cleaned off
immediately and the area polished.
The control panel, the plastic input modules and other plastic components of the oven must not be cleaned
using scouring cleaning agents or those containing solvents.
30. Maintenance
Important for a long life of your MEMMERT product and in case of warranty claims.
Note:
Any work involving opening up the oven must only be carried out by a suitably qualified
electrician!
MEMMERT products require little maintenance. It is however recommended to lubricate all moving parts
of the doors (hinges and closure) once a year (or 4 times a year with continuous operation) using a thin
Silicone grease, and to check that the hinge screws are tight.
A well-closing door is essential on an oven. On Memmert ovens, tight closure of the door is ensured by a
seal on the oven and another one on the door. In continuous operation the flexible sealing material may
take a permanent set. Readjustment may then be necessary
in order to ensure proper closing of the door.
The top part (1) of the door hinge can, after releasing
the 2 screws (2) at the top or bottom of the door, be
moved slightly in the direction of the arrow.
The door can be adjusted after releasing the socket
screw (3) and rotating the excentric (4) by means of
a screwdriver. NOTE ! Screw (3) is locked with locking
varnish. It can be released by a sharp tug using a
hexagon socket key. Apply more locking varnish to
screw (3) and tighten it.
The closing panel (6) can also be adjusted in the direction of
the arrow after releasing the screw (5). It is important that the
panel is then screwed down firmly.
