The chamber does not dispose of any measures of explosion protection. DANGER Danger of explosion due to introduction of flammable or explosive substances in the chamber. Serious injury or death from burns and / or explosion pressure. ∅ Do NOT introduce any substance into the chamber which is combustible or explosive at working temperature.
The loading material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the machine components. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. The chamber does not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
The requirements described in the Operating Manual for installation site and ambient conditions (Chap. 3.4) must be met. WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continuous operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.
• Continued operation of the chamber during an obvious malfunction • Insertion of objects, particularly metallic objects, in louvers or other openings or slots on the chamber • Human error (e.g. insufficient experience, qualification, stress, exhaustion, laziness) To prevent these and other risks from incorrect operation, the operator shall issue operating instructions. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are recommended.
• Absence of a plausibility check to rule out erroneous inscription of electrical components • Performance of repair work by untrained/insufficiently qualified personnel • Inappropriate repairs which do not meet the quality standard specified by BINDER • Use of replacement parts other than BINDER original replacement parts •...

Note on second-hand chambers (Ex-Demo chambers): Second-hand chambers are chambers that have been 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.
Location of installation and ambient conditions Set up the 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 chamber’s weight (see technical data, chap.
• Only use original connection cables from BINDER according to the above specification. UL chambers: Use only a UL Listed Power supply cord (UL category ELBZ), SJT 3x14 AWG (2.08 mm²);...
• Prior to connection and start-up, check the power supply voltage. Compare the values to the specified data located on the chamber’s type plate (chamber front behind the door bottom left-hand, or on the left- hand side of the chamber, chap. 1.6). NOTICE Danger of incorrect power supply voltage due to improper connection.
Start up Turning on the chamber Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a quality defect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal temperature for one day and in a well-ventilated location. 1.
Operating the controller Controller setting is identical with all three chambers BD, ED, and FD. The temperature controllers only differ in their temperature range (BD: up to 100 °C / 212 °F, ED/FD: up to 300 °C / 572 °F ) and the displayed accuracy (BD: a tenth of a degree, ED/FD: one degree).
The display shows alternately “SP” and the previous temperature set-point (example: 60 °C): 3. With the buttons enter a set-point value between 0 and 300. The desired temperature set-point can be selected in a temperature range from 5 °C / 9 °F above room temperature up to 100 °C / 212 °F (BD) or 300 °C / 572 °F (ED/FD).
6.3.1 Switching between “Continuous operation” and “Timer operation” Press the time management button The controller displays the actual time function. In time function “Continuous operation”, “t1” and “t inf” are displayed alternately. In time function “Timer operation”, “t1” is displayed alternately with the running-down time or “tOff”.
6.3.3 Timer operation: Setting the tempering time 1. Press the time management button . The controller indicates its current time function. 2. If necessary, switch to timer operation by button The display alternately shows”t1” and the running-down time or “tOff”: Remaining time (example: 28 minutes) –...
User level settings By pressing down button in normal display (actual value display) for 5 sec, you enter the user menu. Settings in this menu affect controller operation. User level overview: Press down button for approx. 5 seconds Select the temperature unit (chap. 6.4.1) Press button Ramp function (chap.
6.4.2 Entering a temperature ramp You can program temperature ramps in order to extend heating up times. This may be necessary in some cases to prevent temperature stresses in the material during the heating up phase. Temperature ramps should only be used if required. Using them may result in considerably slowing down the heating up times. The entry in °C/min or in °F/min means the nominal value gradient and limits the maximum temperature increase to this value.
1. Press down button for approx. 5 seconds. The display alternately shows “unit” and the temperature unit: 2. Press again button The display alternately shows “rASd” and the set-point gradient: 3. Press again button The display alternately shows “Adr” and the actual setting of the chamber address: 4.
Temperature safety devices Temperature safety device class 2 (DIN 12880) ED, FD The temperature safety device class 2 protects the chamber, its environment and the charging material from exceeding the maximum permissible temperature.

1. Turn the control knob (7) of the safety device using a coin to its end- stop (position 10) (chamber protection). 2. When the set point is reached, turn back the control knob (7) until its trip point (turn it counter-clockwise). 3.
Page 31
Function: The temperature safety device is functionally and electrically independent of the temperature control system and if an error occurs it performs a regulatory function. If you turn the control knob (7) to its end-stop (position 10), the safety device class 3.1 protects the chamber. If you set it to a temperature a little above the controller’s set-point temperature, it protects the charging material.
The chamber is regularly (BD) or optionally (ED) equipped with a serial interface RS 422 that can connect the BINDER APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software. The connection to a computer is established using the chamber’s interface via an interface converter RS 422 / RS 232.
Analog output for temperature (option) With this option the chamber is equipped with an analog output 4-20 mA for temperature. This output permits transmitting data to external data registration systems or devices. The connection is carried out as a DIN socket at the rear of the chamber as follows: ANALOG OUTPUT 4-20 mA DC PIN 1: Temperature –...
