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 flaw- lessly. Second-hand chambers are marked with a sticker on the chamber door. Please remove the sticker before commissioning the chamber.
∅ Do NOT set the fork lifter from the chamber side. • Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F.

Installation and connections Condensate collection pan Emerging condensate is collected in a condensate collection pan which is mounted under the chamber. If necessary, the pan can be removed and emptied at any time. Under normal operating conditions (e.g. incubation of 100 Petri dishes at 25 ° C) there is so little condensate that it will evaporate in the condensate collection pan so that the collection pan does not have to be emptied.

Defrosting at refrigerating operation BINDER cooling incubators are very diffusion-proof. In favor of the high temperature accuracy, no automatic cyclical defrosting device is used. At very low temperatures the moisture in the air can condense on the heat sinks leading to icing.
BINDER Data Logger Kit offers an independent long-term measuring system for temperature, available for different temperature ranges. The BINDER Data Logger is equipped with a keyboard and a large LCD display, alarm functions and a real-time function. Measurement data are recorded in the Data Logger and can be read out after the meas- urement via the RS232 interface of the Data Logger.
Do not use cleaning agents that may cause a hazard due to reaction with components of the device or the charging material. If there is doubt regarding the suitability of cleaning products, please contact BINDER service. We recommend using the neutral cleaning agent Art. No. 1002-0016 for a thorough cleaning.
For chemical disinfection, we recommend using the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022. Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other disinfectants is excluded from lia- bility by BINDER GmbH. With every decontamination method, always use adequate personal safety controls.
For personnel requirements please refer to the Service Manual. • Repair Repair of the chamber can be performed by BINDER Service or by BINDER qualified service partners or technicians, in accordance with the description in the Service Manual. After maintenance, the chamber must be tested prior to resuming operation.
With an increased amount of dust in the ambient air, clean the Peltier fan grid (by suction or blowing) several times a year. We recommend taking out a maintenance agreement. Please consult BINDER Service: BINDER telephone hotline: +49 (0) 7462 2005 555...
