Installation
During installation of built-in units, ensure that the
escaping air will be safely discharged out of the
installation space.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Ambient Conditions
Location Requirements
Built-in units of incubators can, heating and drying ovens must be operated with an air
exhaust system and exhaust hose (only original Thermo accessory should be used).
For safety reasons, the installation space should be made of non-combustible materials,
according to DIN 4102.
Use with Air Exhaust Systems
For built-in units, a temperature-resistant and corrosion-proof exhaust hose (only original
Thermo accessory) should be used, which can be connected to the air exhaust port with a draft
interrupter.
If several built-in units in a row are connected to a central air exhaust system (see illustration),
a draft interrupter should be installed.
Thermo ScientificHeratherm 3-1

Installation
Intermediate Storage
The oven must only be operated in a location that meets all of the ambient condition
requirements listed below:
• Draft-free and dry indoor location.
• The dust burden may not exceed the contamination category 2 based on EN 61010-1.
• The minimal distance to adjacent surfaces must be observed on all sides (see section
• The operating room must be equipped with appropriate ventilation.
• Solid, level, fire-proof surface and no flammable materials opposite to the rear panel of
• Vibration-proof substructure (floor stand, lab table) capable of bearing the dead weight
• The ovens have been designed for an operating height of up to 2000 m above sea level.

the oven.
of the oven and its accessories (particularly if two devices are stacked).
• Ambient temperature range from 18 °C to 32 °C / 64.4 °F to 89.6 °F.
• Relative humidity up to 80% (maximum; preferably 60-70%), non condensing.
• Should condensation exist, wait until the moisture has evaporated completely before
connecting the oven to a power source and powering up.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
• Devices that produce excessive amounts of heat must not be placed near the oven.
• To avoid drying operation without an appropriate fresh air supply make sure that the air
inlet (which may be equipped with an optional fresh air filter) is not obstructed or
blocked by any adjacent objects.
• Power line voltage variations must not exceed ±10 % of the nominal voltage.
• Transient overvoltages must not exceed the values usually encountered throughout the
power supply network. The nominal transient overvoltage level shall be the surge
withstand voltage according to overvoltage category II of IEC 60364-4-443.
• Place the oven on a floor stand (option; to be ordered separately), never on the lab floor.
• Consider installing one dedicated upstream circuit breaker per oven to avoid multiple
device failures in case of an electrical fault.
Intermediate Storage
When the oven is placed in intermediate storage, which is permissible for a maximum of
four weeks, make sure that the ambient temperature is between 20 °C to 60 °C (68 °F to
140 °F) and the maximum relative humidity does not exceed 90%, non-condensing.

Room Ventilation
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Heat dissipating from the oven during continuous operation may cause a change in the room
climate.
• Therefore, the oven must only be installed in rooms with sufficient ventilation.
• Do not install the oven in room recesses without ventilation.
• When several devices are to be placed in the same room, additional ventilation may have to
be provided as necessary.
• To avoid any impact of the heat dissipated by the oven on the ambient climate the room
must be vented by means of a laboratory-grade ventilation system that complies with
applicable local and national health and safety regulations and has sufficient capacity.
• If excessive temperatures tend to occur in the operating room, be sure to provide a thermal
protection means that cuts out the power supply to mitigate the impact of
overtemperature scenarios.
Installation
Room Ventilation
Use with Air Exhaust Systems
When the oven is connected to an air exhaust system be sure to adjust its air flow so the
temperature distribution pattern throughout the oven's workspace remains unchanged and
precision temperature control is maintained.
Also, be sure to interlock the oven and its exhaust system so both start and run at the same time.
The oven may be unable to overcome the extra flow resistance introduced by the idle air exhaust
system, which may cause the exhaust air to be vented into the surrounding lab room.
Before using existing piping in the building to exhaust hot air from the oven, be sure that such
exhaust piping is made of heat-resistant material, so it will not overheat, melt and/or cause a fire.
The oven’s outer surfaces and its air exhaust piping may become hot, so be sure to maintain the
proper spacing from walls and ceilings specified by local building codes and/or fire protection
regulations.
Mark hot exhaust air piping with appropriate hot surface warning signs or restrict access to
such piping altogether to avoid the risk of injury through contact with hot surfaces.

Product Description
Data Communications & Alarm Interface
The work space temperature sensor provides the inputs to the oven’s built-in controller,
which continuously compares the measured values to the user-specified set value and adjusts
the heaters according to the result.
Protect the sensor from mechanical damage.
The unit features a thermal protection function that is factory-preprogrammed and not
adjustable. It protects the samples in the work space from overheating: Thermal protection
kicks in on a brief violation of the upper limit, based on the user-selected temperature set
value, automatically reducing the work space temperature to the user-specified set value and
allowing the heating process to continue even in case of a controller malfunction. If the
thermal protection is activated, the error message (E111) “Temperature too high” appears in
the display window and an audible alarm is sounded.
When the user acknowledges the error message, the red alarm icon (D3 in figure 7-1 on
page 7-1) is illuminated and the Temperature Set Value icon (see table 7-3 on page 7-3) is
highlighted by a red border to indicate that thermal protection has kicked in.
Data Communications & Alarm Interface
All signal connections are installed in the electrical interface panel at the rear of the oven.
RS-232 Interface
The RS- 232 interface (left in figure 4-11 below) may be used to connect ovens to the serial
interface port of a computer to allow for the computer-aided acquisition and documentation
of major operating parameters (temperature, error codes, etc.).
Figure 4-11 Signal Interfaces and Power Socket
AC Power Socket
The oven is connected to the AC supply mains via the socket at right in figure 4-11 above,
which accepts a power cord with an IEC standard plug [9].

Fuses
Product Description
Work Space Components
Two 16 A slow-blow fuses mounted on the oven’s main electronic circuit board protect
internal circuitry from the impact of excessive power consumption.
Replacement should only be carried out by skilled and authorized
qualified personnel of electrotechnology/signal engineering!
Fuse replacement
The device fuses are not user-serviceable. When the oven exhibits the
typical signs of a blown fuse (no response to pressing the On/Off button,
control panel remains extinguished, no heating operation), call
Customer Service to have the fuses replaced.
Work Space Components
Inner Chamber
All components of the work space are made of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and have an
absolutely smooth and easy-to-clean surface. Any embossings have a large radius.
Access port
A re-sealable, capped access port (can be closed off using the plugs delivered with the unit)
allows cables, hoses or additional sensor leads to be routed into the work space of the oven.
The access port [2] of the Heratherm OGS 60/100/180/400/750 has a diameter of 42 mm.
When accessories are to be operated in the work space of the oven, the
ambient condition requirements must be observed (see table below).
The energy introduced into the work space has an impact on the lower
end of the temperature control range. When additional heating sources
are introduced into the work space, temperature control may be
adversely affected.

Mains Connection
Mains Connection
The oven has a class I, protection-earthed enclosure. To minimize the risk of electrical shock,
use the AC power cord supplied to connect the oven to a correctly installed and
protection-earthed power supply source, with the following features in place for each oven:
• T 16 A slow-blow fusing
• B 16 circuit breaker
Electric shock
Contact with live electrical components may cause a lethal electric
shock. Before connecting the oven to the power supply, check the
power cord and the plug for damage. Do not use damaged cables
for connecting the oven to the power supply!
Although several devices may be operated on the same electrical feeder
if the rated current is not exceeded, we strongly recommended to
provide one feeder with a dedicated upstream circuit breaker per oven to
avoid the failure of multiple devices in case of an electrical fault.
Connection to the Power Supply Source
1. Before connecting the oven to the power source, check to see if the power supply voltage
corresponds with the specifications on the nameplate on the front of the oven. If the
voltage (V) and current (A) ratings given are not as required, do not connect the oven to
the power source!
2. Connect the IEC connector to the socket at the rear of the oven.
3. Route the power cord along a path that does not cross exhaust air piping or passageways
and aisles.
With stacked devices, keep the power cord away from hot spots on the other oven in the
stack.
Benefits of using separate electrical
feeders
4. Connect the protection-earthed plug of the power cord to a correctly protection-earthed
and earth leakage circuit breaker fused power socket.
5. Make sure the power cord is not subjected to tensile or compressive force.
5-10Heratherm Thermo Electron LED GmbH
Page 57
Make sure that power outlets remain freely accessible at all times!
When taking the oven into operation for the first time allow some time for
stabilization before switching on to avoid condensation forming on live
parts.
Switching the Power Line Voltage
The 240 V versions of Heratherm ovens are equipped with a wide-range power supply unit
that permits them to be operated on a 240 V or 208 V power source. For optimum heating
performance, though, the operating parameters of the built-in controller can be customized in
software to obtain the best performance on either line voltage, 240 V or 208 V. This is
achieved by entering two specific configuration codes in the Settings -> Configuration
dialog explained in “Configuration” on page 7-12.

Connecting the RS-232 Interface
Connecting the RS-232 Interface
Replacement should only be carried out by skilled and authorized
qualified personnel of electrotechnology/signal engineering!
The RS-232 data communication interface supports the querying of status information and
temperature data from the oven by entering basic commands in a standard terminal window
provided by your computer’s operating system. The interconnection requires a standard
RS-232 cable with 9-pin connectors and a straight “1:1” pinout without any crossed wires,
which is not supplied with the oven.
Users may employ the RS-232 command inventory listed in table 5-2 below for automating
process data logging - for example, by embedding these commands in scripts that run on a
remote computer.
To avoid overloading and damaging the RS-232 interface check the
interfacing parameters against the pin-out description given above and
make sure that computer’s interface port works with a signal level of +/5V DC.
Interconnecting the Oven with a Computer
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Route the serial interface cable along a path that does not cross hot exhaust air piping,
tables, aisles or passageways.
With stacked devices, keep the serial interface cable away from hot spots on the other
oven in the stack.
3. Connect one connector of the serial interface cable (cable length, 5 to max. 10 m, not
supplied as a standard item) to the socket labeled RS 232 in the electrical interfaces
section at the rear of the oven (see “Signal Interfaces and Power Socket” on page 4-12).
4. Connect the second connector to an unused COM 1 /COM 2 or other serial port on the
computer.
RS-232 interface compatibility
5. Boot the computer.
6. Launch your standard terminal program and set up the connection with the following
parameters:
— 57600 bits per second
— 8 data bits
5-12Heratherm Thermo Electron LED GmbH
Page 59
Start-up
Connecting the RS-232 Interface
— 1 stop bit
— No Parity
7. Once your terminal indicates that serial communication has been established successfully,
enter any of the commands listed in table 5-2 below, depending on what type of
information you want to query.
8. Use the following generic command syntax:
?:aaaa:bb::cc<CR> , where:
— ?: identifies the command line as a query;
— aaaa: is the parameter address;
— bb:: is a query, that must be left at „00“ for technical reasons;
— cc is for a command - specific checksum listed in the table below.
— <CR> is for carriage return.
You will receive a response of the following general format:
!:aaaa:bb:XXXXX:cc<CR>
, where:
— !: identifies the line as a response to a query;
— aaaa: is the parameter address entered with the query;
— bb: is the number of payload bytes in hexadecimal code - for example, 1F for the
decimal value 31;
— XXXXXX: is the significant status information queried;
— cc: is a check sum (technically an inverted XOR of all bytes returned, excluding the
check sum bytes and the <CR> character);
— <CR> is for carriage return.

Device Check
Prior to starting operation, the following oven components must be checked for their correct
function:
• The door seal in the front frame must not be damaged.
• The shelving components must be installed safely.
Disinfecting the Oven’s Work Space
Disinfect the work space according to the operator-specified hygiene guidelines.
Starting Operation
1. Turn the oven on using the control panel.
2. Adjust the temperature set value on the control panel.
3. The temperature controller starts adjusting the work space to the user-specified
temperature set value now.
Upon initial installation and subsequent heat-up, this appliance may
produce an odor and trace evolution of non-toxic vapor that results
from brake-out of the insulation binder.
This condition is normal for factory-new products and will diminish with
continued operation.

Operation
Starting Operation
To avoid any risk of explosion or fire
• refrain from loading the oven with any of the substances listed
in the section “Incorrect Use” on page 1-5
• make sure that the ambient air is free of any solvents
• do not operate the oven in areas with an explosion hazard
4. Load the work space with samples.
Risk of overloading
Overloading may damage the
shelves or cause the shelves and/or the oven to tilt when the
shelves are being drawn out, ultimately destroying the samples.
To avoid overloading the oven or its shelving be sure to observe
the sample weight limits specified in see “Technical Data” on
page 13-1.
Hot surfaces
After opening the door, this may swing back automatically.
The interior panel of the outer door as well as the surfaces of the outer
housing, the shelving and the work space become extremely hot while
the oven runs through its heating cycles.
When removing samples from a running or recently completed heating
cycle, always wear safety gloves and other appropriate personal
protection equipment to avoid burns on hot surfaces!
Proper loading
To ensure sufficient air circulation and uniform heating of the samples,
do not use more than 70% of the maximum surface area of the work
space. Bulky objects in the work space that dissipate heat may impair
heat distribution.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is mission-critical to avoid malfunctions due to ageing and wear. Failure
to perform maintenance on a regular basis may result in:
• deviations in heating performance
• damage to samples
• loss of control over temperature distribution throughout the work space
Inspections and Checks
To ensure the operational performance and safety of the oven, their functions and the
components listed below must be checked at regular intervals.
Regular Checks
• Check the oven for overall cleanliness and remove any debris from previous processes.
• To avoid operation without an appropriate fresh air supply, check the air filter (optional)
in the air inlet for contamination.
Monthly Inspection
• Check integrity and proper seating of the door seal.
• Swap air filter cartridge (optional) in air inlet.
• Perform functional check of the control panel and of the oven’s built-in controller.

Spare Parts and User Modifications
To avoid major malfunctions of the oven and associated safety
hazards that may result in death, serious injuries, or damage to
the oven and other equipment, use spare parts approved by
Thermo Electron LED GmbH only. Third-party spares without
approval void the limited warranty.
Do not modify the oven in any way without obtaining the prior
written authorization from Thermo Electron LED GmbH.
Unauthorized modifications may compromise operational safety
and give rise to hazards that may result in death, serious injuries,
or damage to the oven and other equipment.
During ongoing operation, the following service work must be performed:
Annual service
Have the oven inspected and serviced by an authorized Technical Service agent.
Thermo Electron LED GmbH offer a product-specific service contract
comprising all necessary tests and service work.
Preparing Temperature Calibration
To determine the exact measured value of the oven’s integral temperature sensor, a
temperature comparison measurement must be performed every three months. If a major
temperature deviation is found during this check, temperature calibration is required.
During this process, the temperature controller of the oven is set to the value measured
during the temperature comparison measurement.
Service contract
Use a calibrated measuring instrument with an accuracy of < ± 1 °C (1.7 °F) for this test.
10-2Heratherm Thermo Scientific
Page 85
Maintenance
Comparison Measurement Procedure
To minimize temperature variations during the measurement, put the measuring sensor in an
isothermal container (such as a bowl filled with glycerol) before placing it in the work space.
Use the center of the work space as the reference location for the comparison measurement.
Isothermal Container
Do not use a container filled with water as an isothermal container because
the evaporation of water will result in a lower temperature reading.
Excessive Work Space Temperatures
Excessive work space temperatures subsequent to a calibration run
can be reduced by leaving the door open for approx. 30 seconds.
Comparison Measurement Procedure
1. Turn the oven on using the power switch.
2. Set the temperature set value and allow the oven to stabilize. This may take several hours.
3. Place the measuring device in the center area of the work space. Alternatively, a
temperature sensor may be positioned in this location. Route the connecting cable
between the glass panel and the interior tank.
4. Close the doors.
5. Wait until the temperature value displayed on the measuring instrument has stabilized.
6. Use the temperature reading from the measuring device to calibrate temperature control manually, as
explained “Entering the Calibration Reference Temperature Manually” on page 7-11.
Temperature Calibration Procedure
For detailed instructions on how to perform a manual temperature calibration, please refer to
the instructions in the section “Calibration” on page 7-11.
Excessive Work Space Temperatures
Excessive work space temperatures subsequent to a calibration run
can be reduced by leaving the door open for approx. 30 seconds.
