OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – RDC/MDC

Step 1.

Load articles onto shelves allowing space between articles for air circulation. If unit is fitted with tube nozzles and rails, hang tubes on appropriate mountings and close door.

Step 2.

Press POWER ON. Power on indicator and temperature indicator will illuminate. Digital display will display 30ºC.

Step 3.

Set desired temperature (normally 65ºC) by using up/down arrows on touch pad.

Step 4.

Should timer operation be required, press TIME push button. Time indicator will illuminate and digital display will display 000. Set desired time (00-999) minutes by using up/down arrow on touch pad. Following a short time delay, the digital display will revert to displaying actual cabinet temperature.

Step 5.

If timer operation is not required, omit Step 4 and proceed as follows:Press “MANUAL ON” – manual on indicator will illuminate.

Step 6.

Close door.

Do not slam door shut on double door unit as this will force the opposite door to open. To revert to timer operation from manual operation, proceed as follows:Press MANUAL ON push button Digital display will display 00. accordance with Step 4.

Set required time in

In the event of over temperature 1.

The over temperature set point is factory set at 2ºC above selected temperature. In the event of over temperature condition, the digital display will display flashing 888.

2.

Open door – when over temperature condition no longer exists, the digital display will revert to displaying actual cabinet temperature.

3.

Note that over temperature alarm will be triggered if set point temperature is lowered by more than 2ºC below actual cabinet temperature.

4.

Close door and resume normal operation.

5.

If over temperature condition persists, switch unit off and contact your Atherton service Centre 1300 580 870.

CABINET OPERATING PRINCIPLES Fresh air is drawn through the roughing filter, through the intake damper into the circulation fan. It is then forced over the element, down the duct at the side of the cabinet, then vertically upward through the load in the chamber. This upward flow of air is assisted by natural convection. Model RDC - the air is also forced down the tube drying nozzles.

Depending on the setting of the recirculation damper, all the air may be exhausted to atmosphere (recirculation damper closed) or, with the damper in various positions, a proportion of the exhaust air may be mixed with the fresh air intake, to be recirculated back through the chamber. This is achieved by virtue of the design of the damper system.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – SDC Step 1.

Load articles onto shelves allowing space between articles for air circulation.

Step 2.

Set thermostat to desired operating temperature. An over temperature thermostat has been fitted to the cabinet and set at 65ºC. Do not turn thermostat knob past 60ºC.

Step 3.

Turn the power switch to ON position.

Never use a wire brush or steel wool on internal and external surfaces.

QUARTERLY: Make a visual check to ensure electrical controls and indicating lights are operating correctly. Silicone spray door gasket hinge side to prevent binding.

HALF YEARLY: Have electrician check insulation, resistance, earthing, terminals, connections and elements. Remove roughing filter medium located on top of cabinet and wash in cold soapy water.
