Hi Mike,

I can't see anything wrong with your program that may cause a write failure, however, it is important to check that the 'Range Lo' value is set to '10.' After changing this value it is important to press enter 2x to lock the value.

I would also try shutting the software down completely and restarting it. Once it has been restarted, check that the values are all still 20 as they may not have been locked in.

One small thing I have noticed with your program is that 'Pattern 2' has 'Link Pattern' set to 'Pattern 2.' If this is the case, once the pattern ends it will run Pattern 2 afterwards, straight away. As a result, pattern 2 will loop infinitely. The value should be 'Program End' if you want the oven to stop at the end of the program.

If you are still having issues, I have attached our default program that you can try to upload.  To upload this program, firstly unzip the file. Click 'Read File', and navigate to the file. Next, click 'Write' to upload the file to the oven.

If you have any more questions, please ask.

+x

With regards to overloading the oven, this is a difficult question to answer specifically. Basically, any large heavy items will cause the oven's performance in terms of heating and cooling rate to be reduced. For example, we sometimes see a very slow heat up and cool down when multiple very large aluminum tools are loaded into the oven.

The other way the oven can be overloaded is when it is loaded in such a way that the airflow inside is restricted. This restriction means that even temperature control becomes impossible. This is sometimes seen when lots of parts are stacked on a single shelf rather than spread over multiple shelves. It is important when loading the oven that there are gaps between all the parts. Bad loading of this type can cause parts to improperly cure.
