Product Description
Prior to Use
1. Check for correct power supply cord and plug. Confirm that the voltage
selector switch setting corresponds with the power supply to be used. Unit is
set to 240V when shipped.
2. Verify the oven is empty before heating.
3. Check nameplate for voltage ratings.
4. Check for desired thermometer (if equipped) display units (°F or °C). Unit is
set to °F when shipped. To change to °C, see Temperature Indication section
in this manual.
Power Supply
DryRod®II ovens are designed to run on AC voltage and accept either 120 or 240
volts +/-10%. When power is supplied, the indicator light will illuminate.
DryRod II ovens are supplied with a voltage selector switch to operate on either
120 or 240 AC voltage. Please be sure to set the switch to the proper voltage being
used. Operation outside these voltages will impact oven temperature.
Amp Draw
Ovens operating on 120 AC voltage draw 2.5 amps. Those operating on 240 AC
voltage draw 1.3 amps.
Power Cords
DryRod II ovens are supplied with a female IEC 320 locking power inlet. This inlet
accepts a male IEC 320 locking power cord to provide a fixed connection. The
secured cord can be removed for replacement by applying pressure to the yellow
tab on top of the locking power cord.
DryRod II oven power cords are rated for 100/240 volts. When connected to
a properly grounded receptacle, these ovens meet the nationally recognized
standards for which they are
marked.
DryRod II ovens are available with a
three blade North American power
cord for 120 volt AC operation.
The ovens are also available
with a European/Schuko plug
configuration for operation on 240
volt AC. (See Replacement Parts
section in this manual for optional
power cords. See front page for
standard oven configuration with
power cord options.)
Electrode Storage
DryRod II ovens are not airtight and electrodes stored within will start absorbing
ambient moisture as soon as the oven cools. We recommend removal of electrodes
at shift end and storage in suitable larger holding ovens until re-issued.
DryRod II ovens are not to be used for re-baking or re-conditioning contaminated
electrodes. They are designed to accept electrodes in 100% usable condition and to
maintain that condition until consumed at the job site. For optimum stabilization,
oven should be hot when loaded and kept powered as long as electrodes are being
stored.
Guide to Storage
Electrodes should be stored according to electrode supplier recommendations.
In the absence of storage information from your electrode manufacturer, please
reference Phoenix's Guide To Electrode and Flux Stabilization for approximate
temperatures. See back page for details.
Repair: Spare Parts
These instructions contain wiring diagrams and a repair parts list for your DryRod
II oven. For critical welding operations requiring continuous holding, we would
suggest carrying all the parts listed in the Redommended Spare Parts section in this
manual.
Spare parts are available at www.dryrod.com or by contacting your local distributor.
Temperature Settings
DryRod II ovens utilize a variable thermostat, providing an operating range of 100°-
300°F (38°-149°C) average stabilized load temperatures.
The oven operating temperature is set by rotating the thermostat knob clockwise to
increase the temperature of the unit. To decrease the temperature rotate the knob
counter clockwise. This setting is approximate and may need slight adjustment
once the oven temperature stabilizes.
Temperature Indication
DryRod II ovens (part #1205520 and #1205521) are supplied with an optional
battery powered, digital thermometer to indicate the actual temperature inside
oven in either °F or °C.
The thermometers are supplied in °F mode. Conversion to °C mode is accomplished
by pressing the button located in the battery holder. This will cycle between °F and
°C. Thermometers are powered by one AA battery.
Wheels and Retracting Handle
Specific models of the DryRod II ovens are supplied with wheels and a retracting
handle for easy portability.
The wheels are supplied with a steel hub and ball bearings to withstand wear over
years of service. The handle is supplied with a pin and clip to lock the handle in
either the extended or retracted positions. The retracted position is typically used
for shipping and/or storage of the oven.
Locking power inlet and cord
CAUTION
• To provide continued protection against risk of electrical shock, power
cord must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
• To avoid damage, never place oven in contact with welding current.
• Store in dry location. Unit not to be exposed to rain or moisture.

Troubleshooting
Oven Fails To Operate: No Heat
1. If the indicator light does not illuminate, check power supply.
2. Confirm cord is plugged fully into power inlet. Check complete power cord for
continuity. If defective, replace the entire cord.
3. Check indicator light. Using a volt meter, confirm voltage to the light leads. If
voltage is confirmed and light does not illuminate, replace light. Please note
the indicator light is neon and cannot be checked for continuity.
4. Disconnect heating element from the thermostat (under shell top/lid
assembly). Check heating element for continuity. If no continuity, replace
heating element.
5. Disconnect wiring from the thermostat. Turn the thermostat knob to the
lowest temperature setting (counter-clockwise). Check for continuity through
thermostat. If no continuity, replace thermostat.
Oven Operates: Overheats, Low Heat,
Does Not Heat to Desired Temperature
1. Check power supply to confirm voltage is within acceptable range of 120 or
240 volts AC +/-10%.
2. Check that the voltage selector switch setting corresponds with the power
supply to be used.
3. Check that the variable thermostat is properly set to the desired temperature.
4. Check that enough time has been allowed for heat-up. A cold, fully loaded
oven may take up to four hours to fully heat and stabilize.
5. Check that the variable thermostat is securely mounted. A loosely mounted
thermostat will not properly sense the oven temperature.
Thermometer Indicates in Wrong Units:
˚F or ˚C (if equipped)
1. Disconnect power from the unit.
2. Remove the bottom cover from the base to expose thermometer battery
housing.
3. Changing to either °F or °C is accomplished by pressing the button located in
the battery holder.
4. Re-install the battery and bottom cover prior to putting the oven back in
service.
Thermometer Inoperable (if equipped):
Replace Battery
Indicated by a weak or absent display.
1. Disconnect power from the unit.
2. Remove the bottom cover from the base.
3. Remove the battery from the holder and replace with a fresh AA 1.5V battery.
(Alkaline batteries are recommended.) Check that display is operational. If
not, replace thermometer (part #1257420). (See Replacement Parts section
in this manual.)
4. Re-install the battery and bottom cover prior to putting the oven back in
service.
CAUTION
• Disconnect power before opening or servicing unit. Make sure oven is
cooled before opening or servicing unit.
• Surfaces are hot! Use extreme care to avoid possible burns or personal
injury. Protective gloves and personal protective equipment are
recommended.

Wiring
Note: Jumper wires must be installed outside of insulation.
Thermometer probe wire (not shown) must be installed outside
of insulation.
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.
Eliminate expensive rework and protect welding profits!
This guide explains proper storage and oven holding temperatures:
• Recondition/rebake procedures for electrode coatings exposed to moisture are included.
• Remove electrodes from cardboard containers before placing in ovens.
• Electrode coatings should not be exposed to the re-baking temperature without first being reconditioned at a lower temperature. Failure to do so may result
in breakdown of electrode coatings. After re-baking, lower temperature to holding level until reissued.
