The temperature test chamber MK does not possess any measures for explosion protection. DANGER Explosion hazard. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into the temperature test chamber. ∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber. Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable.
Intended use Temperature test chambers MK for natural simulation are suitable for temperature treatment of solid or pulverized charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat or cold. They are suitable for harmless materials. A mixture of any component of the charging material with air must NOT be explo- sive.

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.
Without the pallet the unit is in imminent danger of overturning. • Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10°C to +60°C. You can order transport packing and pallets for transportation purposes from BINDER service. Storage Intermediate storage of the unit is possible in a closed and dry room.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient tem- perature of +20°C to which the specified technical data relate. For other ambient conditions, deviations from the indicated data are possible. • Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing. •...
