![]() ![]() ![]() You can use that drawing to drill holes and cut the LCD opening in the right position of your front panel. In another article you can find the layout for a front panel. You should set the maximum temperature using the user interface to a maximum of 60☌/65☌. ![]() Even so, keep in mind that your board life will be considerably reduced.Ī slightly better option would be to install the SSR inside the oven and the controller in an external enclosure.Įven when you do so, remember that the SSR we are supplying in our kit is rated for a maximum operation of 80☌, to keep it to a safe temperature you should use an external sensor (connecting it to the “EXT SENSOR”) and position it in firm contact with the SSR heatsink using some fastener to secure it in place and maybe some heat transfer compound. If you are still willing to mount the controller inside the oven, you should at least use the onboard temperature sensor to ensure that the maximum temperature of 70☌ is never reached (check “User Interface”). As always think about safety first and try to imagine worst event that could happen, like an high voltage wires disconnected which come in contact with the controller board. Usually there is not enough space inside a chassis to mount all these boards and components AND the insulation WHILE keeping all the installation clean and safe with a sufficient air flow.ģ) With such a small area inside the oven chassis it would be difficult to keep the right and safe distances from high voltages boards and wires and the low voltage controller part. If you decide to mount the board inside the oven you should always use high temperature wires and you should find a way to insulate the board from the heat generated.Ģ) Apart from the board itself, you will have to mount at least an SSR with its heatsink and a power supply. In fact, all electrical connections inside an oven are made with high temperature resistant wires. While it could be possible to fit the board directly into the oven’s chassis we strongly advise you to consider buying or building an external dedicated enclosure.ġ) Temperatures inside the oven could become too high (above 50☌) and the board may be damaged by repetitive exposures to such temperatures. Toaster ovens are not designed to be modded for reflowing. If this is not possible please do not use this board. As such it is intended that you are a well trained electrical engineer who knows how to deal with mains power and industrial devices and production.ĭo not take the chance of risking your life: if you do not know what you are doing or if you are not sure about something seek for the advice of an expert technician in your area. Instead, it is a component which should be used to build a finished device (a toaster reflow oven). Mounting and using the controller involves two deadly hazards: fire and electrocution. Please understand that, while X-toaster is a low voltage device and no high voltage source should be connected directly to the board, to build a reflow oven you will have to deal with mains power and connections. ![]()
