The Model 81CE is a CE
Certified discrete-type table
top heater which provides a
controlled process for
recovering a wide variety of
Raychem heat-shrinkable
products onto wire assem-

home position when the
time has expired. A protec-
tion circuit prevents the
cycle from being initiated if
the oven is not at the
desired set point, prevent-

processed incorrectly. The
small footprint allows the
processor to be placed in
close proximity to a welder,
allowing a single operator
to accomplish two tasks.

Safety Features:
Controlled Oven Dwell Time
• Circuit breaker for current
surges
The oven dwell time is
selected using a 3-digit
thumb wheel digital timer.
The time can be set
Assemblies are loaded into
spring loaded jaws on
either side of the heating
chamber which takes the
assemblies into the oven for
a pre-set number of sec-
onds, then returns them to
the home position for
removal.
• Emergency Stop
• Pinch points eliminated
by the housing design
between 1 and 999 sec-
onds for precise heating
ensuring each assembly
being processed sees the
same precise amount of heat.
• An over-temperature
switch that shuts off all
power in the event of an
overheat condition
Versatility
• Automatic cool-down cir-
