Introduction
Overview
The THERMOCENTER are ovens with forced air and an intelligent control of fan-speed in a range between
0-100%. The control of ramping functions allows fast and accurate heating up procedure and therefore more
applications available to users
Microprocessor-controller with enhanced Fuzzy-Logic - Allows precise ramping of temperature as well as an
excellent reproduction of temperature distribution in the chamber.
Special Insulation - Less heat loss. Saves energy and costs. Ambient temperature of housing surface
Robust Swiss quality design – Made even for scientific applications
Work Chambers are of stainless steel and are provided with fully adjustable chromium plated rod shelves.
The chambers have well radiused corners for easy cleaning.
Exterior is of textured powder coated mild steel.
Applications
The THERMOCENTER is an extremely versatile oven. It can be used Research & Development, Quality
Control as well industrial applications. Some examples: Drying and sterilization applications in scientific as
well as industrial usage suit well for this oven. A must when precise temperature distribution and a high
accuracy are needed. Examples of usage : Color fastness test for textiles, Ageing test for plastics and foils,
Quality control of electronic circuits, Food analysis, Dry sterilization in hospitals
Note: The Thermocenter ovens are not built to use as ovens for drying substances which are
explosible or let free explosible gases during the drying process.
Controller
Fuzzy-Logic microprocessor controller with digital alphanumeric LCD-Display, real time clock, variable fan
speed and temperature ramp.
Intelligent Fan-Speed control IntelliFan - Wide range of temperature ramping functions. More user
application. In combination with Fuzzy-logic gives you an excellent stability of temperature distribution and
accuracy of programmed ramp.
Brilliant LCD Display for user-dialog and easy to operate keypad for fast programming and operating.
User dialog with controller is displaying your local language. Up to five languages can be selected.
Easy to operate and programming with EasyMenu
It allows the storage of 50 programs and 15 program steps (a step = a ramp, a temperature, a fan-speed and
a dwell time=Hold Time). The programs remain stored in memory even without external power (battery
buffered).
Holding Time (dwell time) 0 - 999h 59m
The real time clock allows a process to be started at any time – i.e.: on January 6, 2002 at 5 30 in the
morning.
RS-232 interface. All data can be protocolled with a printer or computer.
Safety
DIN 12880 class 3.1 In case of over-temperature, a built in safety controller as a back-up circuit takes over
the control of the heating and will shutdown the oven.
There is also an additional mechanical over-temperature device which shuts down the oven
High quality accurate PT 100 temperature sensors.
Superior “Swiss Made” manufacturing quality according ISO9001

Definitions of terms
What is a Set Temperature?
A Set Temperature is the target temperature you want operate the system with.
What is a Gradient?
A Gradient is the slope of the heating up process to the specific set temperature.
It is indicated as ºC / Minute. Negative Gradients are not allowed. The maximal value of a gradient is system
depending and has a range and is pre-defined by factory. A system specific curve of gradient corridors see
What is a Fan Speed?
The Fan-Speed is a percentage of a range of rounds per minute. The minimal or maximal RPM Value is
system depending. The % Value is based on this min/max range.
What is a Holding Time?
A timer is used to specify how long a set temperature has to be hold. The timer starts counting back when
the set temperature is reached. The maximal time you can set is: 999 hours and 59 minutes. This equals a
max time of 41 days 15 hours and 59 minutes
What is a Start Date/Time
If you are using a start date or time you will be able to set a future date/time to start the system with presetted parameters i.e. temperature, Gradient, Fan Speed, Timer
