BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the unit provided skilled electricians or quali- fied 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 13 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.

Second-hand units are units 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 units are marked with a sticker on the unit door. Please remove the sticker before commis- sioning the unit. -

• 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 unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for tempo- rary decommissioning (chap. - Page 20 Permissible ambient temperature range during operation: +18 °C / 64.4 °F to +32 °C / 89.6 °F. At elevated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur.

Page 22: Start Up
Start up After connecting the electrical supply (chap. 4), turn on the unit by the main power switch (2). Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a quality de- fect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal temperature for one day and in a well-ventilated location. -

Page 49: Notes On Refrigerating Operation
Notes on refrigerating operation Defrosting: BINDER alternating climate 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 evapora- tion plates. However, at very low temperatures the moisture in the air can condense on the evaporator leading to icing. -
Page 50: Options
The alternating climate chamber MK is regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 that can connect the BINDER communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem. The actual temperature values are given at adjustable intervals. Programming can be performed graphically via PC. Up to 30 chambers with RS 422 interface can be cross-linked. -
