Second-hand units are units that have been used for a short time for tests or exhibitions. They are thor- oughly tested before resale. BINDER guarantees the technically flawless state of the chamber. Second-hand units are marked as such with a sticker on the unit door. Please remove the sticker before commissioning the unit.
Location of installation and ambient conditions Set up the high performance temperature chamber on an even and non-flammable surface, free from vibration, and in a well-ventilated, dry location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of supporting the unit’s weight (see technical data, chap.

Behavior after power failure After power return, the unit continues operating in the operating mode actual before power failure. In Manual Mode (HAND), the controller regulates the temperature to the last entered set-points, while in Program Mode (AUTO) it regulates the temperature to its set-point actually reached during program op- eration.
Settings of the controller MB1 Selection of the menu language The screen program controller MB1 controls the temperature inside the high performance temperature chamber. The controller communicates by a plain language menu guide in German, English and French. The selection of the desired menu language is located in the sub-menu “User-Level” of the menu “User- Settings“.

Selecting between set-point ramp and set-point step Temperature set-points always refer to the start of a program section, i.e., at the beginning of each pro- gram section the entered temperature set-point is targeted. During program section operation, the tem- perature gradually passes to the set-point entered for the following program section. By appropriate design of the program section timing, you can program all kinds of temperature transi- tions.

The unit is only active with the reset button (3b) pushed in. When the safety device responds, the red alarm lamp (3a) illuminates, the reset button (3b) jumps out, and the oven is switched off permanently. Check the safety thermostat with every change of the set point value and readjust it if neces- sary.
The high performance temperature chamber is regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 to which the BINDER communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem can be connected. The actual temperature value is given at adjustable intervals. Programming can be performed graphically via PC. Up to 30 chambers with RS 422 interface can be cross-linked.
The object temperature data are put out together with the data of the temperature controller to the RS 422 interface as second measuring channel and can be documented by the communication software APT-COM™ (option, chap. 11.1) developed by BINDER. Technical data of the Pt 100 sensor: •...
11.7 Mostly gas-tight version (option for M 53 and M 115) With this option the high performance temperature chamber is additionally sealed, so the loss when in- troducing gases is decreased. The unit is not completely gas-tight, so it is impossible to establish over- pressure.
Ensure regular maintenance work is carried out at least once a year. Replace the door gasket only when cold. Otherwise, the door gasket may become damaged. We recommend taking out a maintenance agreement. Please consult BINDER Service. BINDER telephone hotline:...
