Operation Safety Notices 

 

CAUTION

: The Watlow “EZ-ZONE PM User’s Manual” is a general manual and is written for a wide 

variety of applications and configurations. Not all features or functions are applicable. Only 
the capabilities of model PM6C1CC-AAAAAAA or PM6R1CC-AAAAAAA, are applicable.  

 

CAUTION

: The EZ-ZONE PM Controllers have been properly configured at our factory to match the 

chamber’s system requirements and to perform optimally over a wide range of operating 
conditions. Improper modifications to these setup values can result in erratic performance 
and unreliable operation.  Do not attempt to modify the setup values, unless you thoroughly 
understand what you are doing.  If there is any doubt, please contact the Folyon 
Technologies before proceeding. 

 

CAUTION

: Avoid touching the sensor assembly inside the chamber.  

 

WARNING

: Do NOT put items in the chamber that could burn or explode. This is NOT an explosion-proof 

chamber. 

 

WARNING

: Do NOT put items in the chamber which can emit corrosive vapors or substances. 

 

WARNING

: This chamber is NOT a curing oven. There are NO provisions for venting fumes. 

 

WARNING

:  Always unplug the chamber from the outlet when filling the water reservoir with water.  If 

water is spilled inside the chamber, do not plug in!  Allow sufficient time (at least 24 hours) 
for the water to dry. 

Installation Location 

The chamber uses only about 120W of power.  For optimum operation, the ambient room temperature 
should be between 85°F (30°C) and 60°F (16°C). 

The chamber can be placed on any solid, level table top or work bench.  For proper ventilation, allow a 
clearance of at least 6” from the rear and 3” from the right and the left side of the chamber. 

Before powering ON the chamber, make sure there is sufficient water in the water reservoir.  Filling the 
water reservoir is described in the Setup section below. 

Moving and Shipping the Chamber 

Caution must be observed when the chamber is moved while there is water in the water reservoir.  The 
chamber is equipped with two recesses on each side for gripping.  When moving the chamber, make sure 
the chamber is not tilted in such a way that water spills out.  If any spillage occurs, leave the chamber 
unplugged for at least 24 hours to allow all the spilled water inside the chamber to dry.
