We recently bought the OV301 curing oven for use in our lab as an infusion oven.
Trying to install today, but we have encountered several problems. First of all, the accompanying manual is very unclear. Basically, we are not able to set the oven to a fixed temperature, no matter what we try. Following the instructions in the manual results in different outcomes than described in the manual itself.... Furthermore, the oven displays all kinds of messages (abbreviations since there are only a few digits) when pressing buttons, but nowhere there is an overview of what each message/abbreviation actually means. It even seems that some messages are not even how they should be, e.g. our oven displays "CnPt" instead of "InPt" (input).

Could you provide a schematic overview of the oven controls?
At least, we would be able to see then "where" we are in the menu. This would make it a lot easier to navigate the controls on the oven.
Hopefully, we'll be able to set the oven then to the single temperature mode (which currently does not work).

I can also not find a digital copy of the manual on your site, maybe this can be a good addition so that people are not dependent on one hardcopy which will eventually be outdated.

Our alarm light also seems to be on all the time. Sometimes there is a very annoying and loud sound (the oven itself is not warming up, still at ambient temperature, so the alarm is not related to any temperature overshoot). Nowhere in the manual can I find how to turn off the alarm (or at least the sound).

Thanks for your prompt and detailed response Stacey!

We have managed to use the oven as described in your steps (which corresponds to the instructions in the manual). We were indeed "lost" in the menus, but advancing (using the X button) or restarting did not help to return back to the "home" position. We think we perhaps changed the input at some point in the menus (using the arrow buttons) , and have reset them. Since then, the single programming mode works as it should, reaches the set point temperature without problems and stays stable.

I will e-mail you for a digital copy of the manual of our oven. 


Glad to help.

Good luck with your projects.
