LOADING THE TEST CHAMBER
STEP 1
Pour water into chamber reservoir. A measuring
cup is supplied. Fill until water level reaches the
level indicator on the shelf.
NOTE:
WATER LEVEL MUST REACH LEVEL
INDICATOR BEFORE START OF EACH CYCLE.
STEP 2
Load chamber with devices to be tested. Ar-
range devices so water will not be trapped
between them or in indentations on devices.
This will help facilitate drying.
STEP 3
After loading the test chamber, close door,
replace yoke and tighten securely.
PROCEDURE FOR OPERATION OF
TEST CHAMBER
STEP 1
Set test chamber temperature control to position
3 at the center of dial. This position will set the
test chamber temperature at about 127° C.
(260°F.). When the temperature is achieved,
the thermometer pointer will be positioned in the
red area.
If a test chamber temperature (other than the
temperature set above) is desired, the following
information will be helpful for setting the test
chamber temperature.
The numbers on the test chamber
temperature control correspond to higher
temperature settings. The point reference low on
the dial face correspond to a temperature of 121°C
(250°F). Numbers between the reference
correspond to temperatures within the range. The
range is indicated by a red area on the
thermometer face. To operate the test chamber
within the range, turn control knob to the high
position and watch the
thermometer pointer.
When the pointer
indicates a desired
test chamber
temmperature, turn
the control knob
clockwise until the
temperature indicator
light just goes out. The
indicator light will then cycle on and off as the
temperature is controlled at set point.
STEP 2
Ensure that the power switch and dryer switch
are at "OFF" position.
STEP 3
Set the timer to desired test chamber time.
Then set the power switch to the "ON" position.
(The chamber will immediately begin to heat and
will purge cold air from inside the chamber for
approximately 10 minutes. At this time the
temperature will be 95°C to 100°C. Purging will
stop and chamber will rise to desired operating
temperature and pressure. Temperature and
pressure will be maintained until end of timed
cycle.)
