Installation
Ambient conditions
Location Requirements
Built-in units of incubators can, heating and drying ovens must be operated with an air
exhaust system and exhaust hose (only original Thermo accessory should be used).
For safety reasons, the installation space should be made of non-combustible materials,
according to DIN 4102.
If several built-in units in a row are connected to a central air exhaust system (see illustration),
a draft interrupter should be installed.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
The oven must only be operated in a location that meets all of the ambient condition
requirements listed below:
• Draft-free and dry indoor location.
• The dust burden may not exceed the contamination category 2 based on EN 61010-1.
Using the oven in an atmosphere with electrically conductive dust is prohibited.
• The minimal distance to adjacent surfaces must be observed on all sides (see section
“Space Requirement” on page 3-4.
• The operating room must be equipped with appropriate ventilation.
• Solid, level, fire-proof surface and no flammable materials opposite to the rear panel of
the oven.
• Vibration-proof substructure (floor stand, lab table) capable of bearing the dead weight of
the device and its accessories (particularly if two devices are stacked).
• The ovens have been designed for an operating height of up to 2000 m above sea level.
• Ambient temperature range from 18 °C to 32 °C / 64.4 °F to 89.6 °F.
• Relative humidity up to 80% (maximum; preferably 60-70%), non condensing.
• Condensation must be avoided - for example, after moving or transporting the device.
Should condensation exist, wait until the moisture has evaporated completely before
connecting the oven to a power source and powering up.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
• Devices that produce excessive amounts of heat must not be placed near the device.
• To avoid drying operation without an appropriate fresh air supply make sure that the air
inlet (which may be equipped with an optional fresh air filter) is not obstructed or
blocked by any adjacent objects.
• Power line voltage variations must not exceed ±10 % of the nominal voltage.
• Transient overvoltages must not exceed the values usually encountered throughout the
power supply network. The nominal transient overvoltage level shall be the surge with-
stand voltage according to overvoltage category II of IEC 60364-4-443.
• Consider installing one dedicated upstream circuit breaker per oven to avoid multiple device
failures in case of an electrical fault.
Intermediate Storage
When the oven is placed in intermediate storage, which is permissible for a maximum of
four weeks, make sure that the ambient temperature is between 20 °C to 60 °C (68 °F to 140
°F) and the maximum relative humidity does not exceed 90%, non-condensing.
Room Ventilation
Heat dissipating from the oven during continuous operation may cause a change in the room
climate.
• Therefore, the oven must only be installed in rooms with sufficient ventilation.
• Do not install the oven in room recesses without ventilation.
• When several devices are to be placed in the same room, additional ventilation may have to
be provided as necessary.
• To avoid any impact of the heat dissipated by the oven on the ambient climate the room
must be vented by means of a laboratory-grade ventilation system that complies with
applicable local and national health and safety regulations and has sufficient capacity.
• If excessive temperatures tend to occur in the operating room, be sure to provide a thermal
protection means that cuts out the power supply to mitigate the impact of
overtemperature scenarios.
Before using existing piping in the building to exhaust hot air from the oven, be sure that such
exhaust piping is made of heat-resistant material, so it will not overheat, melt and/or cause a
fire.
The oven’s outer surfaces and its air exhaust piping may become hot, so be sure to maintain the
proper spacing from walls and ceilings specified by local building codes and/or fire protection
regulations.
• Mark hot exhaust air piping with appropriate hot surface warning signs or restrict access to
such piping altogether to avoid the risk of injury through contact with hot surfaces.
Space Requirement
For built-in units following clearances should be kept:
Fig. 3
When installing the oven, make sure that the installation and supply connections remain
freely accessible.

Transport
Table-top units
For transport, do not lift the oven using the doors or components attached to the oven as lift
points.
The floor stand units come equipped with four (4) casters. The lever for releasing the caster is
located above the locking lever. After positioning the unit in its installation location ensure
that the locking levers are pressed down on the casters.
To ensure the degree of stability specified by safety requirements the front casters must be
turned so that they are facing forward after the unit has been positioned in its installation
location and the locking levers pressed down on these casters.
Always ensure that the doors are closed when moving the unit.
Stacking Kit
The stacking adapter is available only for table-top units.
Scope of Delivery:
1 stacking adapter
1 anti-tilt anchor
Required Tools:
Install the stacking feet with the enclosed screws using a slotted or Torx screwdriver.
Stack as follows when using a stacking adapter (numbers denote oven volumes in liters):
• for 60/100/180 on 180 use stacking adapter Heratherm 180L,
• for 60/100/100 on 180 use stacking adapter Heratherm 100L,
• for 60/60/100 on 180 use stacking adapter Heratherm 60L,
To prevent the top oven from slipping and dropping down, the following requirements must
be fulfilled before devices may be stacked:
• Only two units may be stacked together. When stacking devices with the same type of
enclosure, yet with a different footprint the device with the smaller footprint must be
placed on top of the one with the larger footprint at all times.
• The bottom device must be correctly levelled.
• Be sure to use the appropriate stacking adapter.
• The levelling feet on the top device must be screwed in all the way.
• The levelling feet of the top device must be aligned with and placed exactly on the stacking
pads of the stacking adapter.
• The anti-tilt anchor must be installed on the top device.
The anti-tilt anchor secures the top device in a stack to a solid part of a building. The
anti-tilt anchor is to be mounted on the side opposite of the door hinges.
Bend the fixing tabs of the anti-tilt anchor up on one side and down on the other by an
angle of approx. 90°.
1. Do not use this position if the door is hinged on this side. Right-hand hinges represent
the standard configuration.
2. Preferred position.
3. Alternative position. Do not use if the door is hinged on this side.
Fix the anti-tilt anchor with the bracket side down to the unit (see figure).
Position the unit with the anti-tilt anchor to in an angle of approx. 90° +/- 20%.
Take care that the stacking feet of the unit are still in correct place on the lower unit or on
the stacking adapter.
Fix the anti-tilt anchor to a solid part of the building.
Anti-tilt anchors
Heratherm floor stand units must always be attached to the wall using two
(2) retaining brackets on the outer left and right side on the back of the
unit.
Attach the end of the retaining bracket that is facing downward to the unit.
Install the anti-tilt anchor to a solid part of the building, which is able for shoring loads.
The connection to the building must be carried out with appropriate screws and dowels according to the consistence of the building
part.
You should be aware at all times that stacked devices do not form a
stable unit, even when the stacking pads and frames are used
correctly. The top device may tip over and drop down when being
transported in a stack. To avoid injury to persons and damage to
equipment, do not attempt to move stacked devices as a unit!
Separate and move each device one by one, then restack them.

Safety Devices
The oven is equipped with the following safety features:
• a sample protection feature that safeguards the samples against destruction through
overheating in case of contoller failure;
• an overheat protection cut-out feature that shuts down the oven completely when
excessive temperatures occur in the workspace;
• dual fuses rated at 16 amperes.
Figure 4-9 Sensor Mounting Location - OGS Series and OMS Series -
Table-top units
Figure 4-10 Sensor Mounting Location - OGS Series and OMS Series - Floor
stand units
The work space temperature sensor provides the inputs to the oven’s built-in controller, which
continuously compares the measured values to the user-specified set value and adjusts the
heaters according to the result.
‘
The unit features a thermal protection function that is factory-preprogrammed and not adjust-
able. It protects the samples in the work space from overheating: Thermal protection kicks in
on a brief violation of the upper limit, based on the user-selected temperature set value, auto-
matically reducing the work space temperature to the user-specified set value and allowing the
heating process to continue even in case of a controller malfunction. If the thermal protection
is activated, the error message (E111) “Temperature too high” appears in the display window
and an audible alarm is sounded.
When the user acknowledges the error message, the red alarm icon (D3 in figure 7-1 on
page 7-1) is illuminated and the Temperature Set Value icon (see table 7-3 on page 7-3) is
highlighted by a red border to indicate that thermal protection has kicked in.
RS 232 Interface
The RS- 232 interface (see figure 4-11) may be used to connect ovens to the serial interface
port of a computer to allow for the computer-aided acquisition and documentation of major
operating parameters (temperature, error codes, etc.).
AC Power Socket
The oven is connected to the AC supply mains via an IEC socket, which accepts a power cord
with an IEC standard plug (see figure 4-11).
Fuses
Two 16 A slow-blow fuses mounted on the oven’s main electronic circuit board protect
internal circuitry from the impact of excessive power consumption.
Fuse replacement
The device fuses are not user-serviceable. When the oven exhibits the
typical signs of a blown fuse (no response to pressing the On/Off button,
control panel remains extinguished, no heating operation), call
Customer Service to have the fuses replaced.
Shelf System
The oven is supplied with two wire-mesh shelves. The shelf support rails have an alternating
pattern of oblong and round perforations spaced evenly at 30 mm, allowing the shelf
support brackets to be inserted without any room for error, yet in a very flexible way to
accommodate different heights of sample containers. The shelves have an integrated tilt
protection and withdrawal stop. For details on using the shelf system, see the section
“Start-up” on page 5-1.

Once the cables, tubes or other conduits have been inserted, the tube access ports must be
padded with the heat-resistant fiber pads shipped with the device and the cap must be
mounted to seal the port as far as possible.
The surface around the tube access ports may become extremely
hot.
Start-up
Initial installation
Heratherm OGS Series ovens have the shelving support rails integrated with the air baffles,
which are readily pre-installed when the devices are shipped from the factory.
Heratherm OMS Series ovens come with separate support rails, which need to be installed as
follows:
• Peel off the protective foil from the support rails.
• Push the retaining spring [1] into the guide on the support rail [2], making sure that the
locking nub [3] on the retaining spring safely engages with the matching hole in the
support rail.

baffle and tilt them downwards.
2. Make sure that the two vertical elements [2] of the shelf support bracket butt against the
support rail and air baffle.
2. Slightly raise the wire-mesh shelf so that the pull-out stops [2] can slide over the shelf
support brackets.
3. Make sure that the shelves and both of their tilt protection devices are free to move over
the shelf support brackets.
2. Manually adjust the levelling feet until the wire-mesh shelf is horizontally aligned in all
directions. Perform the adjustment of the levelling feet from left to right and from rear to front.
Mains Connection
Electric shock
The oven has a class I, protection-earthed enclosure. To minimize the risk of electrical shock,
use the AC power cord supplied to connect the oven to a correctly installed and
protection-earthed power supply source, with the following features in place for each oven:
• T 16 A slow-blow fusing
• B 16 circuit breaker
Condensation
The RS-232 data communication interface supports the querying of status information and
temperature data from the oven by entering basic commands in a standard terminal window
provided by your computer’s operating system. The interconnection requires a standard
RS-232 cable with 9-pin connectors and a straight “1:1” pinout without any crossed wires,
which is not supplied with the oven.
7. Once your terminal indicates that serial communication has been established
successfully, enter any of the commands listed in table 5-1 below, depending on what
type of information you want to query.
8. Use the following generic command syntax:
?:aaaa:bb::cc<CR>, where:
— ?: identifies the command line as a query;
— aaaa: is the parameter address;
— bb:: is a query, that must be left at „00” for technical reasons;
— cc is for a command - specific checksum listed in the table below.
— <CR> is for carriage return.
You will receive a response of the following general format:
!:aaaa:bb:XXXXX:cc<CR>, where:
— !: identifies the line as a response to a query;
— aaaa: is the parameter address entered with the query;
— bb: is the number of payload bytes in hexadecimal code - for example, 1F for the
decimal value 31;
— XXXXXX: is the significant status information queried;
— cc: is a check sum (technically an inverted XOR of all bytes returned, excluding the
check sum bytes and the <CR> character);
— <CR> is for carriage return.

Powering Up
1. Plug the power plug of the oven into a suitable protection-earthed AC power outlet.
In the display window on the front panel the readiness indicator icon (top right item at
D3 in figure 7-1 on page 7-1) is illuminated.
An initialization routine will be run after the oven has been powered up. Once
initialization has been completed, the display will light up and the current work space
temperature will appear in the temperature display pane (item D1 in figure 7-1 on page 7-
1). The oven is ready for use now.
The display window goes out, except for the readiness indicator icon (rightmost icon in
the top right item at D3 in figure 7-1 on page 7-1) and a residual heat temperature
readout in case the work space temperature is still ≥ 50 °C/122 °F. The oven is switched off
now.
2. If required, unplug the AC power plug to power down the oven completely.
Heratherm ovens allow for setting the desired work space temperature directly using only a
few button presses. After confirming the new temperature set value, you may trace the result-
ing temperature change in the temperature display pane (item D1 in figure 7-1 on page 7-1).
You can also use the temperature set value to speed up cool-down subsequent to a drying or
heating process. Temperatures as low as ambient +10 °C can be selected, this requires open
damper and no additional heat in unit. You can set the oven to a set temperature of 0 °C (32
°F), though, to speed up cool-down. This is achieved in one single step, as described further
below.
Table 7-4 Adjusting the Temperature Set Value
Timer
The Timer feature from the menu bar enables the user to set a “countdown-type” on or off
timer that switches the oven on or off after a preset period of time. Instructions for setting an
off timer are given in table 7-7 (see below), while its use as an on timer is described in table 7-
8 on page 7-8.
Programming a turn-on time causes the oven to shut down until it is scheduled to restart,
while a turn-off time keeps it running before it shuts down at the user-specified time. The
timer starts running immediately as soon as the user confirms his or her entries.

Settings
The Settings menu item opens a submenu populated with various commands for viewing
general status information on the unit and setting preferences for the operation of the oven or
its display window:
• Read access to error log
• Calibrating the oven
• Toggling the temperature display unit between °C and °F
• Entering a configuration control code
Error Log
Users calling customer service for support may be asked by the agent to supply information
from the error log of the oven. It enables the user to browse through the most recent 22 alarm
messages that were caused by hardware or control loop errors. Each error is displayed with an
internal error code.
Error codes and instructions for clearing alarm conditions appear in the section “Error Codes”
on page 12-1.
Table 7-10 Reading the Error Log
Calibration
The Settings -> Calibration menu item enables the user to initiate a temperature calibration
routine for the built-in temperature sensors and choose whether calibration should be
accomplished manually or automatically:
• The Manual option allows for entering an absolute temperature directly, as measured - for
example, using an external reference sensor.
Calibration Prerequisites
Maintain the ambient conditions within
the specified limits of the oven and make sure that the damper is fully
closed before launching calibration.
Varying ambient conditions and/or an open damper may impact the
result of the calibration routine, which may lead to misadjustment of
the controller and unreliable temperature control operation.
Note This setting does not have any impact on data logging via the RS-232 interface. Any
temperature data that is logged to a computer for operational parameter documentation
purposes is handed over in °C.
Table 7-12 Toggling the Temperature Display Unit
Configuration
The Settings -> Configuration menu item enables the user to enter a four-digit code that
loads a specific set of operating parameters for the oven - for example, in order to make the
voltage selection described in the section “Connecting the RS-232 Interface” on page 5-11.
Table 7-13 Entering the Four-digit Code
Shut-down
This chapter provides instructions for shutting the oven down for prolonged periods of time,
that is, at least for several days in a row.
Cleaning
Incompatible cleaners
Moisture-sensitive components
Do not spray cleaning agent onto the control panel and the control
box at the rear of the oven. When wiping the oven clean, always
make sure that no moisture enters into these components.
Wipe the display window down with a slightly dampened cloth,
then wipe dry with a rag made of 100% microfiber.
Wipe the surfaces clean using a clean cloth and clear water.
Alcoholic disinfectants!
After the disinfectant has been allowed to react, wipe the cleaned
oven components thoroughly dry.
Chloride-containing disinfectants!
Electrical shock
Before connecting the oven to the power supply, check the power
cord and the plug for damage. Do not use damaged cables for
connecting the oven to the power source!
Health hazard
Predisinfection
1. Remove all samples from the work space and store them in a safe place.
2. Spray disinfectant onto the surfaces of the work space and of the accessories or wipe the
surfaces clean using disinfectant.
3. Allow time for the disinfectant to act as specified by the manufacturer.
Moisture-sensitive components
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is mission-critical to avoid malfunctions due to ageing and wear. Failure
to perform maintenance on a regular basis may result in:
• deviations in heating performance
• loss of control over temperature distribution throughout the work space
• damage to samples
Regular Checks
• Check the oven for overall cleanliness and remove any debris from previous processes.
• To avoid operation without an appropriate fresh air supply, check the air filter (accessory to
be ordered separately) in the air inlet for contamination.
Monthly Inspection
• Check integrity and proper seating of the door seal.
• Swap air filter cartridge (optional) in air inlet.
• Perform functional check of the control panel and of the oven’s built-in controller.
• Perform electrical safety check in accordance with the relevant national regulations.
Functional check
Do not modify the oven in any way without obtaining the prior
written authorization from Thermo Electron LED GmbH.
Unauthorized modifications may compromise operational safety
and give rise to hazards that may result in death, serious injuries,
or damage to the oven and other equipment.
Service Intervals
During ongoing operation, the following service work must be performed:
Annual service
Have the oven inspected and serviced by an authorized Technical Service agent.
Service contract
Use a calibrated measuring instrument with an accuracy of < ± 1 °C (1.7 °F) for this test.
To minimize temperature variations during the measurement, put the measuring sensor in an
isothermal container (such as a bowl filled with glycerol) before placing it in the work space.
Use the center of the work space as the reference location for the comparison measurement.
Isothermal Container

1. Pull the seal out of the guide slot.
2. Starting on the hinge side of the door, position the seam of the new seal at the location
indicated by the arrow in figure 10-1.
3. Gently press the seal into the slot, working around the circumference of the door. In
doing so, be careful not to stretch the seal.
4. Make sure that the retaining rail taper is positioned correctly in the slot and that the seal
is flush with the door frame.
Contamination hazard
The oven may have been used for treating and processing infectious
substances, which may have caused contamination of the oven and its
components.
Prior to return shipment, it is therefore mandatory that all oven
components be properly decontaminated.
• Clean the oven components thoroughly, then disinfect or
decontaminate them (depending on application).
• Fill in and attach a safety declaration with details on
decontamination activities performed to the items that are to be
repaired.
