Introduction
Overview
The THERMOCENTER TC40 / TC100 is an oven with a patented design. All functional elements are
integrated in the door. Forced Air with an intelligent control of fan-speed in a range between 0-100%. of
ramping functions. Fast and accurate heating up procedure. More applications available to users
Microprocessor-controller with enhanced Fuzzy-Logic - Allows precise ramping of temperature as well as an
excellent reproduction of temperature distribution in the chamber.
Special Insulation - Less heat loss. Saves energy and costs. Ambient temperature of housing surface
Robust Swiss quality design – Made even for scientific applications
Work Chambers are of stainless steel and are provided with fully adjustable chromium plated rod shelves.
The chambers have well radiuses corners for easy cleaning.
Exterior is of textured powder coated mild steel.
Applications
The THERMOCENTER is an extremely versatile oven. It can be used Research & Development, Quality
Control as well industrial applications. Some examples: Drying and sterilization applications in scientific as
well as industrial usage suit well for this oven. A must when precise temperature distribution and a high
accuracy are needed. Examples of usage : Colour fastness test for textiles, Ageing test for plastics and foils,
Quality control of electronic circuits, Food analysis, Dry sterilization in hospitals
Note: The Thermocenter ovens are not built to use as ovens for drying substances which are
explosive or let free explosive gases during the drying process.
Controller
Fuzzy-Logic microprocessor controller with digital alphanumeric LCD-Display, real time clock, variable fan
speed and temperature ramp.
Intelligent Fan-Speed control IntelliFan - Wide range of temperature ramping functions. More user
application. In combination with Fuzzy-logic gives you an excellent stability of temperature distribution and
accuracy of programmed ramp.
Brilliant LCD Display for user-dialog and easy to operate keypad for fast programming and operating.
User dialog with controller is displaying your local language. Up to five languages can be selected.
Easy to operate and programming with EasyMenu
It allows the storage of 50 programs and 15 program steps (a step = a ramp, a temperature, a fan-speed and
a dwell time=Hold Time). The programs remain stored in memory even without external power (battery
buffered).
Holding Time (dwell time) 0 - 999h 59m
The real time clock allows a process to be started at any time – i.e.: on January 6, 2002 at 5 30 in the
morning.
RS-232 interface. All data can be protocolled with a printer or computer. Remote controlling and
programming, Door-Switch - switch-off heater/fan by opening door
Door alarm
The door is observed by a mechanical switch. It is not possible to start a manual process when the door is
open, the message “door open” will appear in the display. The heating process is interrupted when the door
is opened during a manual process (heating LED off), as soon the door is closed the heating process will
start again (heating LED on)

Safety
DIN 12880 class 3.1 In case of over-temperature, a built in safety controller as a back-up circuit takes over
the control of the heating and will shutdown the oven.
There is also an additional mechanical over-temperature device which shuts down the oven
High quality accurate PT 100 temperature sensors.
Superior “Swiss Made” manufacturing quality according ISO9001
