Page 62: Bedew Protection Facility (Operation Line 1)
Bedew protection facility (Operation line 1) When operating the unit without humidification, the bedew protection condensates the chamber humidity at the coldest point in order to avoid the samples becoming wet by condensation. Bedew protection is performed by the evaporator and can be programmed On/Off via operation line 1 in Manual Mode (HAND) and in Program Mode (AUTO). -
Page 63: Zero-Voltage Relay Outputs Via Operation Lines 2 To 5
Depending on size, material, and shape of the charging material and on the heating-up rate, condensa- tion may form despite the activated bedew protection. This condensation is, however, reduced compared to the state without bedew protection. Zero-voltage relay outputs via operation lines 2 to 5 Operation lines 2 to 5 serve to switch any device connected to the zero-voltage relay output (DIN sockets (11) and (12) located in the lateral control panel). -

Page 69: Humidity System
Humidity system The humidity system is turned on with the humidity switch (4) located in the lateral control panel. The MKF / MKFT environmental simulation chamber is equipped with a capacitive humidity sensor. This results in a regulatory accuracy of up to ± 2.5 % r.h. of the set point. The temperature-humidity diagram (Figure 16) shows the possible working range for humidity. -
Page 70: Function Of The Humidifying And Dehumidifying System
The MKF / MKFT environmental simulation chamber is equipped with a door heating system to prevent condensation in the door area. CAUTION Condensation by excess humidity. Danger of corrosion on the housing after operating at humidity values > 70 % r.h. for a long period. - Page 71 • Water intake temperature NOT below +5 °C / 41°F and not exceeding 40 °C / 104°F. BINDER GmbH is NOT responsible for the water provided by the customer. Any problems and malfunctions that might arise following use of water of deviating quality is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
-
Page 72: Defrosting At Refrigerating Operation
Defrosting at refrigerating operation BINDER environmental simulation chambers are very diffusion-proof. To ensure high temperature preci- sion there is no automatic cyclic defrosting device. However, at very low temperatures, the moisture in the air can condense on the evaporator plates leading to icing. -
Page 73: Options
The environmental simulation chamber is regularly equipped with an Ethernet interface (10a) that can connect the BINDER communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem can be connected. The MAC Address is indicated next to the Ethernet interface. The actual temperature and humidity values are given at adjustable intervals. -
Page 74: Data Logger Kits
BINDER Data Loggers are equipped with a keyboard and a large LCD display, alarm functions and a real-time function. Measurement data are recorded in the Data Logger and can be read out after the measurement via the RS232 interface of the Data Logger. -
Page 75: Water Cooling (Option)
MKF / MKFT 720: The optional water cooling serves to cooling the unit instead of the air cooling and re- duces the heat, which is emitted to the ambient air during cooling operation. Retrofitting by the manufacturer is possible: The unit must be returned to the BINDER factory for installa- tion. -

Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other cleaning agents is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. Any corrosive damage caused by a lack of cleaning, is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. CAUTION Danger of corrosion. -
Page 78: Decontamination
For chemical disinfection, we recommend the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022. Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other disinfectants is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. With every decontamination method, always use adequate personal safety controls. In case of contamination of the interior by biologically or chemically hazardous material, there are two possible procedures depending on the type of contamination and charging material: (1) Spray the inner chamber with an appropriate disinfectant. -
