Guidelines for safe lifting and transportation

After operation, please observe the guidelines for temporarily decommissioning the chamber (chap.
17.2).
Sliding or tilting of the chamber.
Damage to the chamber.
Risk of injury by lifting heavy loads.
 Transport the chamber in its original packaging only.
 For moving or shipping, secure the oven with transport straps.
∅ Do NOT lift or transport the chamber using the door, the handle, or the lower housing.
 Lift chambers size 23 and 53 at the four lower corners with the aid of 4 people.
 Lift chambers size 115 with the aid of 6 people.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10 °C / 14°F to +60 °C / 140°F.
You can order transport packing for moving or shipping purposes from BINDER Service.
3.3

Storage

Intermediate storage of the chamber is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for
temporary decommissioning (chap. 17.2).
• Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C / 14°F to +60 °C / 140°F.
• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the chamber to its warmer installation site, condensa-
tion may form. Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the chamber has attained ambient temperature
and is completely dry.
3.4

Location of installation and ambient conditions

Set up the VDL vacuum drying oven on a flat, even and non-flammable surface, free from vibration, in a
well-ventilated, dry location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of
supporting the chamber's weight (see technical data, chap. 19.2). The chambers are designed for setting
up inside a building (indoor use).
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the chamber.
∅ Do NOT set up chambers in non-ventilated recesses.
 Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during operation: +18 °C / 64°F to +32 °C / 90°F.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient tem-
perature of +22 °C +/- 3 °C / 71.6 °F ± 5.4 °F to which the specified technical data relate. De-
viations from the indicated data are possible for other ambient conditions.
• Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing.
• Installation height: max. 2000 m / 6562 ft above sea level.
