If the Shel lab Oven motor doesn't move, check the connections to the motor and the voltage to the motor if the shaft spins freely. If the shaft rubs or is frozen, relieve the binding and retest.
How to fix indicated chamber temperature unstable in Shel lab Oven?
If the indicated chamber temperature of the Shel lab Oven is unstable, note that ±0.1 may be normal. Check if the fan is working and verify air movement inside the chamber. Ensure that the ambient room temperature is stable, away from door openings or airflow from heaters or air conditioning. Adjust the exhaust stack to at least ¼ closed, as a fully open stack or cycling power exhaust can cause instability. Inspect the mounts for control and OTP sensors, and trace the wires or tubing between the sensors and controls. Remove nearby sources of RFI, such as motors, arcing relays, or radio transmitters, which can cause electrical noise. Check connectors for continuity and mechanical soundness, and inspect the sensor and wiring for mechanical damage. Also, check connectors for mechanical soundn...
How to prevent contamination in sample in Shel lab Oven?
To address contamination in a sample within the Shel lab Oven, follow the same procedures as for 'Contamination in chamber'. Reduce air flow in the chamber by dampening down the exhaust port, ensuring adequate temperature uniformity at the reduced air flow. Protect open samples from areas of maximum air current, such as inlet air ducts.
How to prevent contamination in the Shel lab Oven chamber?
Develop and follow a standard operating procedure for your specific application, including a defined cleaning technique and maintenance schedule to address contamination in the Shel lab Oven chamber.
What to do if Shel lab Oven unit will not turn on?
If the Shel lab Oven unit will not turn on, check the wall power source. Inspect the fuse/circuit breaker on the unit and in the wall. Check if the unit is on (e.g., fan or heater) but just the controller is off. Inspect all wiring connections, especially around the on/off switch.
Why does the Shel lab Oven controller timer resets on its own?
If the Shel lab Oven controller timer resets on its own, confirm that the power from the wall is consistent and within specifications.
Why Shel lab Oven unit or wall fuse/circuit breaker is blown?
If the Shel lab Oven unit or wall fuse/circuit breaker is blown, check the wall power source. Compare the current draw to the specifications on the data plate. Check what other loads are on the wall circuit.
What to do if Shel lab Oven Controller on at all times - "locked-up"?
If the Shel lab Oven controller is on at all times or "locked-up", adjust the set point to room temperature. If the unit continues to heat, replace the solid-state relay. Turn the unit off and on to reset it.
Why are the front panel displays all off on my Shel lab Oven?
If the front panel displays of the Shel lab Oven are all off, check the connections to the temperature display control board to ensure they are tight and in the correct orientation. Inspect for any wire damage.
What to do if Shel lab Oven will not heat up at all?
If the Shel lab Oven is not heating up at all, begin by checking the amperage, which should be near the maximum rated amperage as indicated on the data plate. Verify that all controller functions are working. Ensure the Safety Thermostat is set high enough, ideally fully clockwise with the OTP light off for diagnostic purposes. Also, verify if the fuse or circuit breaker has blown, and check whether the timer has turned the unit off.
