**CAUTION**
All wiring should be done by licensed electricians in accordance with State & Local codes plus NEC (National Electric
Code) Standards. Improper installation or use may result in serious injury. Always remove oven from power source
before troubleshooting or repairing.
II. TROUBLESHOOTING - TYPE 50 OVENS
OVEN FAILS TO OPERATE - NO HEAT
1. If oven will not heat, check power supply.
2. Check plug at outer end of power cord. Check com-
plete power cord for continuity. If defective, replace cord
assembly.
3. Disconnect wires from heating element and check
heating element for continuity (access through top of
oven). If defective, replace elements.
4. On type 50A ovens check thermostat for continuity at
ambient temperature (access through top of oven). If
defective, replace thermostat.
OVEN OPERATES - OVERHEATS
1. Check thermostat operation as in number 5 (Oven
Fails To Operate - No Heat).

Type 50A Model, 9, 10, 11, 14, & 17 120V (AC/DC)
Plug power cord into suitable 120 Volt AC or DC power
source.
Type 50A Model 7 & 15, 240V (AC Only)
Plug power cord into suitable 240 Volt AC (Only) power
source.*
ELECTRODE HOLDING
1. Open lid of box and allow approximately 20 minutes
warm-up to drive out any retained moisture.
2. Place only dry electrodes within box. Keep lid closed
but unlatched while plugged into powered receptacle.
ELECTRODE STORAGE
3. When your job is done, the oven should remain con-
nected to its power source. If it becomes necessary to
disconnect from power, keep the lid closed and latched
to provide sealed storage of unused electrodes.
4. Your DryRod® oven has been preset at the factory for
optimum temperature control. The sealed thermostat is
not adjustable, but easily replaced if it fails. Average
stabilized temperature of the oven is 300°F with a full
load (average 250°F empty). A parts list and wiring dia-
grams are printed on the reverse side for your conven-
ience.

Wiring
Check type and voltage on nameplate.
Types 50B 120/240V AC only models utilize a tamperproof
sealed thermostat, providing a 300°F average stabilized load
temperature.
Type 50C/120V AC/CD (Non-Thermostat model), utilizes
constant heat input, providing a 300°F average stabilized
load temperature.
Note: All current 50B ovens rated at 120 volts have a Model
1 designation, 240 volt ovens have Model 2 designation.
Grounding
1. The 120 volt ovens have a three blade plug cap with
grounding prong (NEMA 5-15P) attached to a 10 foot power
supply cord. When used with a grounded receptacle, these
ovens meet all local electrical code requirements and are
U.L. Listed.
2. The 240 volt 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 Holding
1. Open lid of oven and allow approximately 20 minutes
warm-up time to drive out any retained moisture.
2. Place only dry electrodes within oven. Keep lid closed but
unlatched while plugged into power receptacle.
Electrode Storage
These ovens are not to be used for rebaking or recondition
-
ing contaminated electrodes. They are designed to accept
electrodes in 100% useable condition and to maintain that
condition until consumed at the job site. For optimum stabi
-
lization, oven should be hot when loaded and kept “on line”
as long as electrodes are being stored.
Type 50 series 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 of same consumables in suitable larger
holding ovens until reissued.
Guide to Storage
In the absence of detailed storage information from your
electrode manufacturer, the "Revised Guide To Electrode
Storage" (available from Phoenix International, Inc.) may be
used as an indication of approximate temperatures for use
of the oven. For Specific information involving critical oper
-
ations be sure to contact your electrode manufacturer for
complete information.

bly.
3. Disconnect wires from heating elements and check heat-
ing element for continuity (access through top of oven). If
defective, replace elements.
4. On type 50B ovens check thermostat for continuity at
ambient temperature (access through top of oven). If defec
-
tive, replace thermostat.
