no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25°C/77°F) and with a supply voltage that does not
vary by more than ±10%. Customer support should be contacted for operating conditions outside
these limits.

Chapter 2 – Receiving and Installation
Page 2-2 TestEquity FS Series Ovens
Power Requirements
The power requirements are listed on the oven’s data plate located on the rear. Make sure your
power supply matches that shown on the data plate. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE
THAN ±10% FROM THE DATAPLATE RATING. These units are intended for 50/60 Hz
application. A separate circuit is recommended to preclude loss of product due to overloading or
circuit failure.
Location
Select a site for the oven which is free from extreme heat, cold or excessive air movement such
as areas near steam radiators, stoves, other ovens, autoclaves, direct sun, heating and cooling
ducts, etc. Avoid high traffic areas which may reduce the accessibility to the oven. Allow at least
2 inches of space between the oven and surrounding walls or partitions which might prevent free
airflow.
Lifting / Handling
These ovens are heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting devices that are
sufficiently rated for these loads. Ovens should only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Doors,
handles and knobs are not adequate lifting or stabilization. The oven should be completely
restrained from tipping during lifting or transport. All moving parts, such as shelves and trays
should be removed and doors need to be positively locked in the closed position during transfer
to prevent shifting and damage.
Leveling
The oven must sit level and solidly. Leveling feet (supplied) are to be installed in the holes at the
base of the oven. Turn them counterclockwise to raise the level and clockwise to lower the level.
If the oven must be transported, turn the leveling feet in all the way to prevent damage.
Initial Burn-In
It is recommended that the unit go through a “burn-in” process prior to operation. This is to
eliminate the smoking of protective coatings on the element. Read the operating instructions
carefully to understand the operating requirements. To burn-in, turn the OVERTEMP
PROTECTION to maximum and set the TEMPERATURE controller to 200°C. Open the
exhaust vent damper on the top of the oven. Run for a minimum of one hour under ventilation
until smoke dissipates.
Initial Cleaning
The oven’s interior was cleaned at the factory. If you need to clean it further, use a cleaner that is
suitable for your application. Make sure to rinse the cleaned surface with a damp cloth, using
water only, and dry the surfaces with a clean cloth. DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches or
abrasives as they will damage the stainless steel surface. DO NOT USE spray cleaners that might
leak through openings and cracks and get on electrical parts or that may contain solvents that will
harm the coatings. A similar periodic cleaning is recommended.
!WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit
connected to the electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit form the
electrical service when cleaning and assure all volatile or flammable cleaners
are evaporated and dry before reattaching the unit to the power supply.

(A) The POWER switch controls all power to the oven. It must be in the I(ON) position before
any systems are operational. The green light in the switch will be lit when the switch is ON.
Timer Switch
(B) The TIMER switch controls power to the timer circuit. In the O(OFF) position, the oven
heat is controlled with no timed duration. In the I(ON) position, heat is controlled for a timed
interval and then the heat shuts off at the end of that interval.
Overtemperature Protection Thermostat
(C) The OVERTEMP PROTECTION thermostat is an independent controller to protect against
any failure which would allow temperature to rise past the TEMPERATURE controller’s set
point. The adjustment knob points to a relative scale from 0 to 10.
Overtemperature Light
(D) The OVERTEMPERATURE pilot lamp is directly below the OVERTEMP PROTECTION
thermostat. The light will come on when the OVERTEMP PROTECTION is activated and has
taken control of the oven. This pilot lamp should never be on under normal operating conditions.
Timer
(E) The TIMER consists of a digital display, UP/DOWN arrow pads, a RESET pad, a
START/STOP pad and a TIMER ACTIVE light. The TIMER provides the ability to have the
oven maintain heat for a specified period of time.
Temperature Controller
(F) The TEMPERATURE controller consists of digital display and UP/DOWN arrow pads for
entering the temperature set point and for calibration.
Heating Light

Operating the Oven
Assure that the electrical power source is properly configured and rated for the oven and plug the
unit cord into the receptacle.
Turning the Oven On
Push the POWER switch to the I(ON) position. Push the timer switch to the O(OFF) position.
The digital temperature display will indicate a temperature value. Turn the OVERTEMP
PROTECTION Thermostat to its maximum clockwise position using a coin or flat head
screwdriver.
Setting the Temperature Controller
To enter the desired set point temperature, press either the UP or DOWN arrow pad once on the
TEMPERATURE digital display. The display will start to blink from bright to dim. While
blinking, the display is showing the temperature set point. You can change the set point by
pushing the UP or DOWN arrow pads to raise or lower the value. If the arrow pads are not
pushed within five (5) seconds, the display will stop blinking and return to read the chamber
temperature. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Setting the Overtemp Protection Thermostat
The OVERTEMP PROTECTION should be initially set to its maximum position when
stabilizing the set point temperature. Once the oven is stable at the desired set point, turn the
OVERTEMP PROTECTION counterclockwise (using a coin or flat-head screwdriver) until the
OVERTEMPERATURE light comes on. Next, turn the OVERTEMP PROTECTION clockwise
just until the OVERTEMPERATURE light goes off. Next, turn the OVERTEMP PROTECTION
two (2) minor increments on its scale past the point where the light went out. This sets the
OVERTEMP PROTECTION at approximately 10°C above the current temperature set point.

Chapter 3 – Operation
TestEquity FS Series Ovens Page 3-3
Setting the Timer
(Optional for timed operation only) Turn the timer switch to the I(ON) position. TIMER
display digits will light with no decimals showing. Note that if several seconds elapse with no
arrow or reset pad activity during any of the following steps, the TIMER will default to the
present displayed setting and it will be necessary to restart all functions over again. The values
must be entered in a consecutive manner with no delays between settings or the default will
occur.
Hour Function: Press and hold the RESET pad until the digits start blinking, and the left most
decimal blinks. In this mode, pressing the UP or DOWN arrow pads increases or decreases the
whole hour value from 0 to 99.
10 Minute Function: After the desired value for hours is set, push the RESET pad again. The
middle decimal will now blink. Pushing the UP or DOWN arrow pads will increase or decrease
the 10 Minute function allowing values between 0 and 5 to be set.
1 Minute Function: After the desired 10 Minute value is set, push the RESET pad again. The
right most decimal point will blink. Pushing the UP or DOWN arrow pads will increase or
decrease the 1 Minute function allowing values between 0 and 9 to be set.
Activation: Wait until the timer stops blinking. After all settings are made, push the
START/STOP button. The TIMER ACTIVE light will come on and after a brief pause, the oven
temperature set point will be active. The oven will now heat up, control at the set point and stop
after the timed period has elapsed.
Note that when the system is in the timer mode, the heating circuit is de-energized until the
START/STOP button is pushed or the TIMER switch is turned OFF. If a time change or
correction is necessary and the timer has already been activated, push the START/STOP button
to stop the timer, then repeat the above steps.
To set the timer so that timed operation will not start until the oven is stable at set point, pre-heat
the oven with the TIMER switch OFF until the desired temperature has stabilized. Turn the
TIMER switch ON. Push and hold the RESET button until the TIMER display blinks (to be sure
that the pre-set timed value is correct). Press the START/STOP button to activate the timer.

2WARNING: Disconnect the power cord from the power source before performing any
service or maintenance on this unit.
No maintenance is required on the electrical components. If the unit fails to operate as specified,
please see the Troubleshooting Guide, before calling for service.
Cleaning
Cleaning and decontamination are recommended on a regular basis. To prepare the unit for
cleaning, remove all interior parts if assembled, such as shelves and shelf clips.
First, clean the oven interior with soap and water, rinse and let dry. To decontaminate use a
solution that is appropriate for your application. DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches or
abrasives as this can damage the stainless steel components. DO NOT USE spray cleaners that
might leak through openings and cracks and get on electrical parts or that may contain solvents
that will harm the coatings. Use care when cleaning the door gasket to prevent damage which
could impair the positive door seal.
!WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit
connected to the electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit form the
electrical service when cleaning and assure all volatile or flammable cleaners
are evaporated and dry before reattaching the unit to the power supply.
Storage
To prepare the unit for storage, remove all shelves and shelf clips and disconnect the power
supply. Be certain that the chamber is completely dry and door is positively secured in the closed
position. See Lifting / Handling for proper transport procedures.
Calibration
Controller Accuracy is ±1°C at the calibrated single set point using the procedure below.
It is recommended that calibration is verified with the unit is installed in its working
environment, and has been stable at set point for several hours. Place a reference temperature
measurement device in the oven. Be certain the sensor does not touch any shelving. Allow again
for the temperature to stabilize until five (5) consecutive readings at one minute intervals show
no temperature change. Compare the reading on the reference thermometer with the front panel
digital display. If there is an unacceptable difference, put the display in calibrate mode by
pressing the UP and DOWN arrow pads at the same time until the decimal points blink on and
off. While blinking, the display can be changed to match the reference thermometer by pushing
the UP or DOWN arrow pads to raise or lower the temperature until the display reads the correct
value. If no arrow pads are pressed within five (5) seconds the display will revert to displaying
the temperature within the chamber.
