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 contained moisture constituent and its behavior with the addition of heat energy.
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.

Connection to a suction plant (optional) When directly connecting a suction plant the spatial temperature exactitude, the heating-up and the recovering times and the maximum temperature will be negatively influenced. So no suction plant should be directly connected to the exhaust duct. Active suction from the chamber must only be performed together with extraneous air.
Air change Opening the air flap in the exhaust duct serves to adjust the air change. Without connecting a suction plant: • If the air flap is open and the fan is operating, fresh air comes in via aeration gaps. •...
