WIRING
Check type and voltage on nameplate.
1. Type 200HT (120/240V AC only) single phase shipped at
1/240V wiring
Note: Type 200HT Series ovens are wired at the factory for 240
volts. For 120 volt use, rewire heating element connections per the
120 volt wiring diagram.
GROUNDING
Type 200HT Series ovens have a 10 foot power supply cord.
When used with a grounding plug cap and a grounded
receptacle, these ovens meet all local code requirements.
ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
DryRod® ovens have removable shelves to allow storage of
more than one group of electrodes. It is recommended to store
different electrodes in separate ovens to avoid contamination.
Spread the electrodes evenly, allowing space over each shelf
for air circulation required to remove excess moisture. The
maximum suggested layer depth on any shelf is 5 inches.
GUIDE TO STORAGE
Electrodes should be stored according to electrode supplier
recommendations. In the absence of detailed storage
information from your electrode manufacturer, the Guide To
Electrode and Flux Stabilization section in this manual may be
used as an indication of approximate temperatures.
A laminated version of the Guide To Electrode and Flux
Stabilization is available by contacting Phoenix International.
VENTING
Before placing the oven into service, run the oven at 550˚F
(255˚C) for two hours with vent hole fully open. This will help to
purge the oven of any contaminates. (Smoke exiting from vent
hole is common during burn-off of contaminates.)
For normal holding operation, set easily adjustable vent on the
door about ¼ open. For replacement vents, see Replacement
Parts section in this manual.
TEMPERATURE SETTING
Type 200HT Series oven temperature range is 100°F (38°C)
to 660°F (350°C). The thermostat dial (at front of oven) is
calibrated at 120°F (50°C) to 660°F (350°C).
Required oven temperature setting is obtained by rotation of
thermostat dial to line up desired temperature with indicator
light in the thermostat housing.
The indicator light illuminates only when voltage is being
applied to the heating elements.
Thermostat is accurate to +/-25°F (14°C) at the sensing bulb;
however, temperature may vary slightly at different areas
in the oven chamber since this is a convection type oven.
For applications requiring higher temperature, an electrode
rebaking oven is required.
At the maximum setting, the actual temperature in portions of
the oven near the heating elements may reach approximately
700°F (371°C).
Temperatures over 660°F (350°C) are not recommended. They
may cause oven damage and/or unacceptably high exterior
surface temperatures.
REPAIR: SPARE PARTS
These instructions contain wiring diagrams and a repair parts
list for your DryRod® oven. For critical welding operations
requiring continuous holding, we would suggest carrying all
the parts listed in the Suggested Spare Parts section in this
manual. (Spare parts are available at www.phx-international.
com or by contacting your local distributor.)

WIRING DIAGRAMS
WIRING DIAGRAM FOR:
Type 200HT Series 120V
CAUTION:
All wiring should be done by
licensed electricians in
accordance with state and local
codes, as well as the NEC
(National Electrical Code)
Standards. Improper
installation or use may result in
serious injury. Always remove
oven from power source before
troubleshooting or repairing.
TROUBLESHOOTING
OVEN FAILS TO OPERATE: NO HEAT/OVERHEATS
1. If oven indicator light will not illuminate, check power supply.
2. Check plug at outer end of power cord and run continuity check
on complete power cord. If defective, replace cord assembly.
3. Check indicator light for continuity. If defective, replace indicator
light.
4. Check thermostat at left side of oven. If indicator light
illuminates, power is being supplied through thermostat to
dual heating elements. Turn knob from low to high setting and
return. Definite “snap” should be heard at low temperature end
and indicator light should turn off and on with each “snap”
cycle. If “snap” is not heard and indicator light fails to operate,
replace entire thermostat. (See Replacement Parts section in this
manual.)
5. If thermostat operates satisfactorily, check continuity of dual
hairpin style heating elements at bottom center of oven. Failure
of one element will cause very slow heating.
6. If thermostat operates satisfactorily, recalibrate thermostat. (See
Checking Thermostat Calibration section in this manual.)
NOTE:
When replacing heating elements, always
replace both elements. Pairing of one new
element with an old element will cause
rapid failure of old element.

SUGGESTED SPARE PARTS
For normal daily operation, the following spare parts and
quantities are recommended to have inventoried for every
10 units of DryRod® ovens in use.
NOTE:
For users of large oven quantities, or users
not in North America, we recommend
keeping an inventory of additional spare
parts to support day to day operation.

Each thermostat is adjusted at the factory and calibrated on precision instruments to control temperatures
accurately. Adjustment or re-calibration is not needed unless the thermostat has been mishandled in transit
or changed or abused while in service.
To Check Calibration:
1. Use a good grade mercury thermometer to check temperature. For griddle control, use a disc type thermocouple.
Drop a couple drops of oil on griddle surface plate and place thermocouple disc flat into the oil.
2. Turn the dial of the thermostat to 300˚ mark.
3. Allow enough time for temperature to stabilize or until several temperature readings are identical.
