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)
