Safety Messages
Safety Message
Be sure that you are completely familiar with the safe operation of each BEING series.This unit may be connected to other machinery, such as a vacuum pump. Improper use can cause serious or fatal
injury.
Installation and repair procedures require specialized skills with laboratory equipment and electricity. Any person that installs or repairs this unit must have these specialized skills to ensure that this
unit is safe to operate. Contact BEING Instrument, Inc. or their local authorized distributor for repairs or any questions you may have about this unit’s safe installation and operation.
The precaution statements are general guidelines for the safe use and operation of these instruments. It is not practical to list all unsafe conditions.Therefore, if you use a procedure that is not recom-
mended in this programming guide, you must determine if it is safe for the operator and all personnel in the proximity to the instrument. If there is any question of the safety of a procedure, please
contact BEING Instrument before starting or stopping the instrument.
This equipment contains high voltages. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualied personnel should attempt the startup procedure or troubleshoot this unit.
• Documentation must be available to anyone that operates this equipment at all times.
• Keep non-qualied personnel at a safe distance from this unit.
• Only qualied personnel familiar with the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of this unit should attempt startup or operating procedures.
• Always stop the instrument before making or removing any connections.
Symbols used in this Programming Guide
The following signal word panels, safety symbols, and non-safety symbols are used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards or information of importance. Obey all safety messages that
follow these symbols to avoid possible personal injury or death.
• Signal word panels
Signal word panels are a method for calling attention to a safety messages or property damage messages and designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness. It consists of three elements: a safety alert symbol, a signal word and a contrasting rectangular background. The following signal word
panels are in accordance with ANSI Z535.4-2111 (R2017) and ISO 3864 standards.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
• Safety symbols
Safety symbols are graphic representations—of a hazard, a hazardous situation, a precaution to avoid a hazard, a result of not avoiding a hazard, or any
combination of these messages—intended to convey a message without the use of words.The following safety symbols are used in this quick start guide.
Mandatory Warning
General alert. Mandatory action. Safety Alert Symbol. General caution.
Hot Surface
Prohibition
Do not touch uid.
Wear protective gloves.

Calibration After Unit of Measurement Change
Check the instrument’s chamber temperature after changing
the unit of measurement to ensure the controller is measuring
it accurately.
Tools Needed:
A remote-monitoring thermocouple thermometer with a
NIST-traceable calibration certicate.
Series BIF, BIT, BOF, and BON
STEP 1: Place test materials in chamber, set program, and
press run for 3 seconds.
Compare the thermometer’s and probe’s temperature ratings against the
series operating range to ensure compatibility.
Series BOV: A ribbon lead thermocouple is required so as not to damage
the door seal. Additionally, the lead’s and probe’s materials must be rated for
temperatures up to ambient + 200OC (ambient + 392OF).
STEP 2: Insert thermometer probe into test hole.
Upon reaching the set temperature, insert thermometer probe
into the test hole.
STEP 4: Compare thermometer readings to set and present
temperatures. If SV1≠PV1≠TV1 or SV2≠PV2≠TV2, move
to STEP 5.
Make sure thermometer is stable. Then record the set temperature (SV1 &
SV2), present value (PV1 & PV2), and thermometer reading (TV1 & TV2).
STEP 3: Run test again at a second set temperature (SV2) at
least 10OC (18OF) greater than the rst.
Series BOV
STEP 1: Place test materials in chamber. Place temperature
probe in the center of the chamber. Close and lock
door. Set program and press run for 3 seconds.
STEP 3: Compare thermometer readings to set and present
temperatures. If SV1≠PV1≠TV1 or SV2≠PV2≠TV2, move
to STEP 4.
Make sure thermometer is stable. Then record the set temperature (SV1 &
SV2), present value (PV1 & PV2), and thermometer reading (TV1 & TV2).
STEP 2: Run test again at a second set temperature (SV2) at
least 10OC (18OF) greater than the rst.
Series BIC
STEP 1: Place test materials in chamber, set program, and
press run for 3 seconds.
STEP 2: Open test hole.
Upon reaching the set temperature, insert thermometer probe into the
test hole.
STEP 5: Compare thermometer readings to set and present
temperatures. If SV1≠PV1≠TV1 or SV2≠PV2≠TV2, move
to STEP 6.
Make sure thermometer is stable. Then record the set temperature (SV1 &
SV2), present value (PV1 & PV2), and thermometer reading (TV1 & TV2).
STEP 4: Run test again at a second set temperature (SV2) at
least 10OC (18OF) greater than the rst.
Thermometer probe’s outer diameter must be less than 8mm.
STEP 3: Insert thermometer probe into test hole.
The test hole is Ø25mm and located on the right
side of the oven.

Series BWB
STEP 1: Fill chamber. Place test materials in chamber. Close
chamber cover. Set program and press run for
3 seconds.
STEP 4: Compare thermometer readings to set and present
temperatures. If SV1≠PV1≠TV1 or SV2≠PV2≠TV2, move
to STEP 5.
Make sure thermometer is stable. Then record the set temperature (SV1 &
SV2), present value (PV1 & PV2), and thermometer reading (TV1 & TV2).
STEP 3: Run test again at a second set temperature (SV2) at
least 10OC (18OF) greater than the rst.
STEP 2: Upon reaching set temperature, open chamber cover.
Insert the thermometer probe into the center of bath.
The Math
STEP 4/5/6: Perform the following calculations to determine
Pb and PK.
Full Scale Adjustment (Slope)
PK={[((TV2-TV1))/((SV2-SV1))]-1}x 4000
Zero Adjustment (Intercept)
