Do not operate the chambers in hazardous locations. DANGER Explosion hazard. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT operate the chamber in potentially explosive areas. KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the chamber. The chambers do not dispose of any measures of explosion protection. DANGER Explosion hazard.
The charging 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 chambers do not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
Operating instructions Depending on the application and location of the chamber, the operator of the chamber must provide the relevant information for safe operation of the chamber in a set of operating instructions. Keep these operating instructions with the chamber at all times in a place where they are clearly visible.
Chamber description BINDER incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED and FD are equipped with an electronic PID- controller with digital display. The incubators BD indicate the temperature with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree. The drying and heating ovens ED and FD indicate the temperature with an accuracy of one degree.

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.
Installation of the equipment Electrical connection The chambers are supplied ready for connection. They come with a fixed power connection cable of at least 1800 mm / 70.87 in in length. Nominal voltage ± 10% at the Model Power plug Current type indicated power frequency BD all sizes...
Connection to a suction plant (optional) When directly connecting a suction plant; the spatial temperature exactitude, the heating-up times, 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 effected 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: • For BD and ED chambers fresh air circulation can be elevated using the exhaust duct. The air flap in the exhaust duct serves to adjust the fresh air entry.
Display / entry of temperature set-point (with selected temperature ramp) If previously a temperature ramp value has been selected (chap. 6.4.2): Press button in normal display / actual value display during ramp operation to have displayed the actual temperature ramp set-point, which changes according to the selected gradient, in addition to the entered target set-point for temperature.
Time functions: Continuous operation and Timer operation Press the time management button The timer indicates its current time function. There are two possible time functions: Continuous operation The display shows alternately “t1” (time function) and the time function “Continuous operation” “t inf”: The heating and fan (with FD) are permanently active, independent of the timer setting.
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 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.
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.

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. Please observe the DGUV guidelines 213-850 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGI/GUV-I 850-0, BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119, issued by the employers’...
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 28
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.
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.
Additional Pt100 temperature sensor (option for BD) An additional fixed or flexible temperature sensor Pt100 permits measuring the chamber temperature (fixed Pt100) or the temperature of the charging material (flexible Pt100) by means of an independent measuring system with Pt100 entry. The sensor top protective tube of the flexible Pt100 can be immersed into liquid substances.
Water protected internal socket (option for BD) You can turn on or off the disconnectable water protected internal socket by switch (9), independent of the incubator operating or not. Thus, devices operated inside the incubator can be started or stopped without any need to open the chamber doors.
