OVEN TRACKER XL2 Running a Temperature Profile 55
4. Fit the lid, ensuring a good seal around the thermocouple cables. Secure the
lid’s catches with the locking pins, if fitted.
The Tracker system is designed to pass through the oven after the product has
been coated. Any coating which has become attached to the probes during a
previous run will influence the measurements, and it must be removed before the
next run starts.
Placing the System in the Oven
SAFETY
Discuss the application of the Tracker system with your Health and Safety officer.
Wear appropriate protective clothing.
If appropriate, use lifting equipment when loading the system.
Load the test piece or product so that it enters the oven before the thermal
barrier and logger.
Do not lift the data logger by the thermocouple cables. This will damage the cables
and connectors.
Check the minimum height and width through the process to ensure
the clearance for the system and thermocouple probes is adequate. If
necessary, secure the thermocouple cables using high-temperature tape
ensuring they do not get too close to heating elements.
Removing the System from the Oven
SAFETY
The thermal barrier – and the logger inside it – will be hot. Use protective gloves.
If appropriate, use lifting equipment when recovering the system.
Recover the system from the oven as soon as the run is over. Heat
absorbed by the thermal barrier will continue to affect the temperature of the
heatsink and logger: remove them from the thermal barrier as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Failure to remove the logger from the hot thermal barrier could damage the logger.
