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 relating to chamber safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts. - Page 11 Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable. I.e., irrespective of the solvent concentration in the steam room, NO explosive mixture with air must form. The temperature inside the chamber must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material. Familiarize yourself with the physical and chemical properties of the charging material, as well as the con- tained moisture constituent and its behavior with the addition of heat energy.

Page 12: Intended Use
Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. In case of foreseeable use of the chamber there is no risk for the user through the integration of the chamber into systems or by special environmental or operating conditions in the sense of EN 61010- 1:2010. -
Page 13: Operating Instructions
Operating instructions Depending on the application and location of the chamber, the operator of the alternating climate chamber must provide the relevant information for safe operation of the chamber in a set of operating instructions. Keep these operating instructions with the chamber at all times in a place where they are clearly visible. -

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 before commissioning the chamber. -
Page 21: Guidelines For Safe Lifting And Transportation
Without the pallet the chamber is in imminent danger of overturning. • 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. - Page 22 CAUTION 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 / 64.4 °F to +32 °C / 89.6 °F. At ele- vated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur.

Page 103: Notes On Refrigerating Operation
Notes on refrigerating operation Defrosting: BINDER chambers are very diffusion-proof. To ensure high temperature precision there is no automatic cyclic defrosting device. The refrigerating system largely avoids icing of the evaporation plates. However, at very low temperatures the moisture in the air can condense on the evaporator leading to icing. -
Page 104: Anti-Condensation Protection Via Operation Line
Anti-condensation protection via operation line The anti-condensation protection condensates the chamber humidity at the coldest point in order to avoid the samples becoming wet from condensation. Anti-condensation protection is performed by the evapora- tor and can be programmed On/Off via operation line “Anti-condensation” in Fixed value and program modes. -
Page 105: Zero-Voltage Switching Outputs Via Operation Lines
Zero-voltage switching outputs via operation lines The chambers are equipped regularly (MKT) or optionally (MK) with four zero-voltage switching outputs (DIN sockets (7) and (8) located in the lateral control panel). The operation lines serve to switch any device connected to the zero-voltage relay output. They can be programmed On/Off in Fixed value and program modes. -
