Guidelines for safe lifting and transportation

After operation, please observe the guidelines for temporarily decommissioning the chamber (chap.
27.2).
Risk of injury due to sliding or tilting of the chamber in case of improper transport
or by lifting heavy loads.
Injuries, damage to the chamber.
 Transport the chamber in its original packaging only.
 For moving or shipping, secure the chamber with transport straps.
∅ Do NOT lift or transport the chamber using the door or handle.
 Lift chambers size 23 and 56 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.
4.3

Storage

Intermediate storage of the empty chamber is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines
for temporary decommissioning (chap. 27.2).
• 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.

Location of installation and ambient conditions

5.1

General requirements for installation

Set up the 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 or laser. The site of installation must be capable of
supporting the chamber's weight (see technical data, chap. 28.3). The chambers are designed for setting
up inside a building (indoor use). Provide active extraction (technical ventilation, chap. 5.2.2).
Minimum distances
• Distance between several chambers of the same size: 250 mm / 9.8 in
• Wall distances to rear: 100 mm / 3.9 in
• Lateral wall distances: 70 mm / 2.76 in
• Spacing above and behind the chamber: 100 mm / 3.9 in.
