THEORY OF OPERATION
This section details the function and operation of assemblies and subassemblies on the
Despatch LND Series Ovens. These ovens have the most effective heat distribution system and the fastest processing time of any lab ovens their size. They are especially useful for testing, preheating, sterilizing, drying, aging and curing as well as other production applications. Horizontal airflow with precision digital control delivers uniform, fast processing. The overall result is efficient productivity under strenuous conditions.
Inert Gas
Figure 1. Horizontal Airflow
The unique Despatch computerized design, moves forced convected heat through perforated stainless steel walls. The air is recirculated with a high volume fan.
Despatch LND Series Ovens employ higher volume fans than any competitive model.
The chamber can be densely loaded without interfering with the process. The LND series air delivery temperature is within 1/2° C of the number appearing on the digital display. Nitrogen intake is regulated by separate purge and maintain panel-mounted flowmeters. The cooling water flow is controlled by an adjustable valve and monitored by a flowmeter located on the rear of the oven.
5
Inert Atmosphere Theory
The goal of the inert atmosphere oven is to reduce oxygen concentration levels to an acceptable level. This is accomplished by injecting an inert gas into the sealed chamber. As the flow rate of inert gas into the chamber is increased, the chamber becomes pressurized and gas is exhausted out the pressure relief valve located on the back of the oven. Since oxygen is repelled by inert gas flow, the overall oxygen concentration in the chamber is reduced.
However, there is a limit to the desired inert gas flow rate into the chamber. To minimize the oxygen concentration level, you must minimize the number of exhaust outlets. The only desired outlet is through the pressure relief valve. If the inert gas flow rate is too high, other exhaust outlets will be formed (usually the door seal). In this situation oxygen can penetrate back through the leak or outlet even though the chamber is pressurized. This process is called diffusion. As diffusion is minimized, oven performance is maximized.
WARNING:
This oven is not designed for use with flammable material. If your process involves flammable material see the LFD series.

OVEN INSTRUCTIONS
The INSTRUCTIONS section provides directions for unpacking, installation, operation and maintenance of the LND Series oven.
Unpacking and Inspection
Remove all packing materials and thoroughly inspect the oven for damage of any kind that could have occurred during shipment.
• See whether the carton and plastic cover sheet inside carton are still in good condition.
• Look at all outside surfaces and corners of the oven for scratches and dents.
• Check the oven controls and indicators for normal movement, bent shafts, cracks, chips or missing parts such as knobs and lenses.
• Check the door and latch for smooth operation.
If there is damage that may have occurred during shipment, follow these instructions.
1. Contact the shipper immediately and file a written damage claim.
2. Contact Despatch Industries to report your findings and to order replacement parts for those that were damaged or missing.
3. Send a copy of your filed damage claims to Despatch.
4. Next, check to make sure you have received all the required materials. Your shipment should include:
One (1) Despatch oven,
One (1) Instruction manual,
One (1) Warranty card,
Two (2) Shelves
5. If any of these items are missing from the packaged contents, contact Despatch
Industries to have the appropriate materials forwarded to you.
6. Finally, to protect the warranty on your new LND Series Oven, complete the warranty card and mail it to Despatch within 15 days after receipt of the equipment.
7
Set-up
1. Select the location for installing your oven.
The oven must have a minimum 2 inch clearance in the rear to provide proper ventilation. The oven may be placed next to another cabinet, or next to another oven, with a 3 inch clearance to insure proper ventilation.
Make sure oven is level and plumb; this will assure proper heat distribution and operation of all mechanical components.
WARNING:
Do not use the oven in wet, corrosive or explosive atmospheres unless this oven is specifically designed for a special atmosphere.
2. Connect the nitrogen supply line to the inlet located on the oven rear panel and marked nitrogen supply. The nitrogen supply to the oven must not exceed 80
PSI. (40 PSI on LND 1-42)
3. Check for leaks in the nitrogen supply line. a. Turn the three-way nitrogen valve switch to the OFF position.
WARNING:
Use only inert gases. b. Turn the PURGE flowmeter knob clockwise to the OFF position. c. Turn the MAINTAIN flowmeter knob clockwise to the OFF position. d. Open tank valve on the nitrogen supply. e. Set pressure regulator to about 40 PSI. f. Check the nitrogen plumbing for leaks with a soapy water solution.
As nitrogen gas is odorless, all leaks should be stopped to prevent the possibility of suffocation in a small work area. Gas from a nitrogen leak might leak might displace much of the oxygen in the atmosphere.
4. If cooling is required, install water connection for cooling coils.
WARNING:
All grounding and safety equipment must be in compliance with applicable codes, ordinances and accepted safe practices.

WARNING:
NEVER use the water cooling coil without a gas flow into the chamber. Not using inlet gas during cooldown creates a vacuum pressure which could cause extensive damage to the oven. d. Check for leaks.
CAUTION:
Design the drain system to prevent operator injury from high temperature or pressure buildup. Piping must be able to withstand short periods of up to 650 F (343 C) temperatures. Drain lines should be insulated or warning labels installed that a hazard exists.
WARNING:
Never allow drain to be plugged as a hot oven will generate a small amount of steam when the water is first turned on. Steam burns.

Automatic Nitrogen and Water Cooling
Your oven may be fitted with optional automatic water cooling and/or nitrogen control features. These features replace the manual on/off valves with solenoid valves which can be operated either by switches in the control panel or programmed event outputs on the temperature control instrument.
The additional switches in the control panel have AUTO and MANUAL positions.
Placing the switch in MANUAL energizes the appropriate solenoid valve. Leaving the switch in the AUTO position allows the solenoid valve to be operated by the control event outputs.
Refer to the following section on the control instrument for more information on programming the event outputs. The standard configuration for these optional features is for event relay 1 to operate water cooling, event relay 3 to operate nitrogen purge, and event relay 4 to operate nitrogen maintain. In addition, if the optional door lock feature is also installed, it will be in the locked position any time the nitrogen maintain solenoid is energized.
Typically, the control is programmed so that the purge and maintain valves are energized at the beginning of a program in a segment of long enough duration to purge the oven (see the oxygen level chart discussed earlier). The next program segment then de-energizes the purge valve while leaving the maintain valve energized. The maintain valve should be left energized for as long as the nitrogen level is desired to be maintained.
The water cooling solenoid valve is energized in the last segment(s) of the program to bring the chamber temperature down to a safe unloading temperature.

TM
control include:
PID tuning
Ramp/Soak programming of up to 64 segments
Segment looping and profile linking
Built-in manual reset high limit control
Built-in process timer
Dedicated LED display for process temperature
Multi-purpose two-line LCD display with backlight

Theory of Control Operation
The Protocol Plus is a modular microprocessor based digital temperature controller. The
Protocol Plus operates as a dual functioning controller/high limit instrument. The control portion utilizes a time-proportioning voltage signal to control heating devices with minimal temperature fluctuations.
The high limit portion protects the product and/or the oven from overheating. If the product being processed has a critical high temperature limit, the high limit setpoint should be set to a temperature somewhat below the temperature at which the product could be damaged. If the product does not have a critical high temperature limit, the high limit setpoint should be set 5 to 15 degrees higher than the maximum programmed setpoint at which the oven will operate.

Zone Calibration Page
The Zone Calibration Page allows adjustment of the displayed temperature versus the actual temperature measured by the control thermocouple. This may be desirable in certain conditions where the center of the oven chamber is not the same temperature as the control thermocouple. This may occur when the oven is not allowed to soak at a constant temperature for long periods of time, or the oven is being used at high temperature.
There is also a Factory Calibration Recovery which will restore the factory calibration values when the control was first shipped by the manufacturer. This may be helpful if the calibration has been lost and a calibration instrument is not readily available. To use the Factory Calibration Recovery feature only, bypass the Zone 1 and Zone 2 calibration parameters by pressing the Menu key.
To access the Zone Calibration Page, enter the Setup Mode (see description earlier in this manual). Press the Page key until Zone Cal is displayed. Press the Menu key. Each parameter can be changed by pressing the Menu key until the desired parameter is displayed, and then pressing the keys to change the value.

Press the Page key to exit the Zone Calibration Page.
Two points of display calibration (temperature offset) are available. The Zone 1 Actual and Zone 2 Actual parameters are the two temperature points where the offset is to take effect. These values are adjustable. The Zone 1 and Zone 2 Displayed parameters are the values the user wishes to have displayed at the Actual temperatures, and are also adjustable.
39
As an example, the control is displaying 400°F with the setpoint being 400°F, but the center of the oven chamber is actually 395°F. This can occur due to oven wall losses and product loading variations. The operator may change the zone calibration so that the center of the oven is 400°F when the display reads 400°F. In this case operate the oven in manual mode with a setpoint of 400°F. Record the center of the chamber (as measured with an independent sensor). Access the Zone Calibration Page and enter this measured value as the Zone 2 Actual value, with 400° as the Zone 2 Displayed value.
Zone 1 can be adjusted using the same method at a lower temperature. The instrument will then create a linear offset based on the Zone1 and Zone 2 Actual temperature values. Note that the oven does not have to be heated to adjust the zone parameters if the zone values are known based on prior experience.
40
Sensor Calibration Page
The Sensor Calibration Page has parameters which can change the internal calibration of the temperature sensor input signal. There is a low and high calibration point for both the control sensor and the high limit sensor. To calibrate the instrument, allow the control to warm up for at least 30 minutes.
To access the Sensor Calibration Page, enter the Setup Mode (see description earlier in this manual). Press the Page key until Control Sensor is displayed. Press the Menu key.
The control may have the optional process value retransmission output feature. The output is a 1 to 5VDC signal. To calibrate the retransmit signal, the RetOutLo and
RetOutHi values from the Control Page must be known. You may bypass calibrating the control and high limit sensor input to access only the retransmit calibration by pressing the Menu key until RetCalLo is displayed (skip steps 4-17).
To re-calibrate the instrument:
1. Disconnect the control and high limit sensor thermocouples.
2. Connect a calibration instrument with a type J thermocouple output to the control sensor input. Allow the control to warm up at least 30 minutes.
3. Access Setup Mode.
4. Press Page key until -100F is displayed.
5. Press Menu key until Ctrl Sens -100F is displayed.
6. With Ctrl Sens -100F displayed, adjust the calibration instrument to Type J thermocouple, -100 degrees Fahrenheit output.
7. Wait 30 seconds. Press the key.
8. With Ctrl Sens 1400F displayed, adjust the calibration instrument to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit output (Type J thermocouple).
9. Wait 30 seconds. Press the key.
10. When the control displays Ctrl Sens Done, disconnect the calibration instrument from the control sensor input and connect it to the high limit sensor input. Reconnect the control sensor thermocouple.
11. Press the Menu key until HL Sens -100F is displayed.
12. With the control displaying HL Sens -100F, adjust the calibration instrument to -100 degrees Fahrenheit output (Type J thermocouple).
13. Wait 30 seconds. Press the key.
14. With the control displaying HL Sens 1400F, adjust the calibration instrument to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit output (Type J thermocouple).
15. Wait 30 seconds. Press the key.
16. When the control displays HL Sens Done, disconnect the calibration instrument from the high limit sensor input. Re-connect the high limit sensor thermocouple.
17. To skip calibration of the retransmit signal, press the Page key twice to exit the
Sensor Calibration Page.

Error Messages and Alarms
The Alarm Status Hi-limit LED is flashing. This indicates a problem with the thermocouple, or the Hi-limit setpoint has been exceeded. Once the problem has corrected, press the Reset pushbutton.
The Alarm Status Soak LED is flashing. This indicates that the oven temperature has not entered or dropped out of the soak band and the soak timer has stopped.
The top LED Display reads OPEN and the lower LCD display reads CONTROL SENS
ERR. This indicates that the Control thermocouple is disconnected or broken. Repair or replace the thermocouple.
The lower LCD display reads HI-LIM SENS ERR. This indicates that the Hi-limit thermocouple is disconnected or broken. Repair or replace the thermocouple.
The lower LCD display reads HIGH LIMIT ALARM. This indicates that the Hi-limit temperature setpoint has been exceeded. Determine if the setting is set too close to the setpoint, the SSR is defective, or the calibration is incorrect.
Note: The lower LCD display intermittently reads HL Temp. This is not an error message, but the Hi-limit thermocouple temperature reading.

MAINTENANCE
Do not attempt any service on this oven before opening the main power disconnect switch.
Checklist
• Keep equipment clean. Gradual dirt accumulation retards air flow. A dirty oven can result in unsatisfactory operation such as unbalanced temperature in the work chamber, reduced heating capacity, reduced production, overheated components, etc. Keep the walls, floor and ceiling of the oven work chamber free of dirt and dust. Floating dust or accumulated dirt may produce unsatisfactory work results. Keep all equipment accessible. Do not permit other materials to be stored or piled against it.
• Protect controls against excessive heat. This is particularly true of controls, motors or other equipment containing electronic components. Temperatures greater than 51.5 C (125 F) should be avoided.
• Establish maintenance & checkup schedules. Do this promptly and follow the schedules faithfully. Careful operation and maintenance will be more than paid for in continuous, safe and economical operation.
• Maintain equipment in good repair. Make repairs immediately. Delays may be costly in added expense for labor and materials and in prolonged shut down.
• Practice safety. Make it a prime policy to know what you are doing before you do it. Make CAUTION, PATIENCE, and GOOD JUDGEMENT the safety watchwords for the operation of your oven.
• Lubrication, Fan motor bearings are permanently lubricated. All door latches, hinges, door operating mechanisms, bearing or wear surfaces should be lubricated to ensure easy operation.
54
Tests
Tests should be performed carefully and regularly. The safety of personnel as well as the condition of equipment may depend upon the proper operation of any one of the functions of the temperature control. Test the control every 40 hours. Check that the heater LED is cycling on and off, indicating that the heater is working. Also check the high limit function to make sure it is working properly.
To test the high limit:
1. Go to Manual Mode and enter control setpoint value at least 20°F (11°C) lower than the current process temperature.
2. Press the Menu key and lower the high limit setpoint to a value just below the current process temperature.
3. The high limit alarm indicator should flash and a high limit alarm message should be displayed. Verify that the heater relay has been disabled by checking that
2LED on the control panel circuit board is not lit.
4. Return the control setpoint and high limit setpoint values to their original values.
5. Press the Reset key.
Nitrogen Supply
Turn the three-way valve on the control panel to the
OFF position and screw the adjusting knob clockwise on both PURGE and MAINTAIN flowmeter all the way to the OFF position. Then open the tank valve on the nitrogen supply and set the pressure regulator to about 40 PSI. Check the nitrogen plumbing for leaks
WARNING:
Disconnect the main power switch or power cord before attempting any repair or adjustment. with a soapy water solution. As nitrogen gas is odorless, all leaks should be stopped to prevent the possibility of suffocation in a small work areas. Gas from a nitrogen leak might displace much of the oxygen in the atmosphere.
55
