213-850 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGI/GUV-I 850-0, BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119, issued by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Germany). BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the chamber provided skilled electricians or qualified personnel authorized by BINDER perform all maintenance and repair, and if components relat- ing to chamber safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts.
Intended use The BINDER safety drying oven FDL 115 is suitable for drying and burn in of lacquers and similar liquid coating materials which are containing solvents that can form explosive mixtures with air. The maximally permitted drying temperature and the maximally permitted quantity of solvent are limited, see chap.
Measures to prevent accidents During drying of fluid paints, flammable solvent/air mixtures can form and ignite. The manufacturer took the following measures to prevent ignition and explosions: • Indications on the type plate See operating manual chap. 1.4 • Operating manual An operating manual is available for each safety drying oven.

• Safety in case the technical ventilation fails The heating only turns on if the air circulation is already in operation. If the air circulation fails, the heating immediately turns off. In addition, there is a visual signal: red in- dicator light “AIR”...
Important points to consider before commissioning 1.9.1 Technical ventilation / permissible load For safety reasons, the formation of a dangerous, explosive atmosphere must be avoided in all operating modes (see GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coat- ing materials")).
Chamber description The safety drying oven FDL 115 was built according to EN 1539:2015 (“Dryers and ovens, in which flammable substances are released. Safety requirements”). The fan in the rear of the safety drying oven delivers a constant amount of fresh air through the working area irrespective of the drying temperature.

Note on second-hand chambers (Ex-Demo-Units): Second-hand chambers are chambers that were used for a short time for tests or exhibitions. They are thoroughly tested before resale. BINDER ensures that the chamber is technically sound and will work flawlessly. Second-hand chambers are marked with a sticker on the chamber door. Please remove the sticker be- fore commissioning the chamber.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F. You can order transport packing and pallets for moving or shipping purposes from BINDER service. Storage Intermediate storage of the chamber is possible in a closed and dry room.
CAUTION Danger by stacking. Damage to the chambers. ∅ Do NOT place safety drying ovens on top of each other. To completely separate the chamber from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug. Install the chamber in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger. Do not install or operate the oven in potentially explosive areas.
Electrical connection The safety drying oven FDL 115 is supplied ready for connection. • Power connection: fixed power connection cable 1800 mm / 5.9 ft in length with a shockproof plug. The socket must also provide a protective conductor. • Power supply voltage 230 V +/- 5 % at 50 Hz, 230 V +/- 5 % at 60 Hz. Current type 1N~ •...
Start up After connecting the electrical supply (chap. 4.2), you can turn on the chamber. After loading the chamber, close the chamber door. • Turn on the chamber by setting the main power switch (1) to position “I”. Indicator light “AIR” (3) is lit, indicating that the heating has not yet been released by the air flow moni- toring.

General indications The program controller RD3 offers several functional levels: Normal Display / fixed value operation: • Display of the actual value of temperature (display 1) and of the actual date and time (display 2). • The chamber is in fixed value operating mode, adjusting to the entered set-points. Fixed value entry mode (chap.
Fixed value entry mode If you do not want to use the week program timer, deactivate it (factory setting, setting in the user level, chap. 10) before entering any set-points. Basic entry principle: Access the individual parameters with button X/W one after the other. Enter the values with the arrow keys.
Week program editor The Week program editor permits defining up to 4 shift point for each week day. A shift point defines a moment and the switching state ON or OFF of the channels that become active in this instance. Channel function: •...

Then define the settings for the program course. Two parameters can be set: • Program delay time, i.e. a defined time before a program starts. It can be entered with a precision of 1 minute, and its maximum value is 99.59 (99 hs 59 min). If the value is 00.00, the program will start immediately.
During program course the arrow keys and the EXIT button are not functional. By pressing the program key for 3 seconds, you can terminate the program course. If you press button during program course, the entered set-point of the actually running program sec- tion is shown for 5 seconds: Display 1 shows e.g.

(2b) (2a) Figure 8: Safety thermostat class 2 Function: The safety thermostat class 2 is functionally and electrically independent of the temperature control de- vice and turns off the chamber at all poles. When the control knob (2) is set to the end stop (position 10), the safety thermostat class 2 acts as a chamber protection device.
The chamber is only active when the reset button (2b) is pushed in. When the safety thermostat class 2 responds, the red alarm lamp (2a) illuminates, the reset button (2b) pops out and the chamber turns off permanently at all poles. Only the fan keeps turning for safety rea- sons.
Options 13.1 Communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option) The chamber is regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 that can connect the BINDER commu- nication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem. The connection to a computer is established using the FDL interface via an interface converter RS 422 / RS 232.
The object temperature data are put out together with the data of the temperature controller to the RS 422 interface as a second measuring channel and can be documented by the communication software APT-COM™ developed by BINDER (option, chap. 13.1). Socket...
