    (for Germany). BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the unit provided skilled electricians or qualified personnel authorized by BINDER perform all maintenance and repair, and if components relating to chamber safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts.
  • Page 11 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.
  • Page 12: Intended Use

    Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. 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.

    Measures to prevent accidents The operator of the cooling incubator must observe the following rule: “Betreiben von Arbeitsmitteln. Betreiben von Kälteanlagen, Wärmepumpen und Kühleinrichtungen“ (Operation of work equipment. Operation of refrigeration systems, heat pumps and refrigeration equipment) (GUV-R 500 chap. 2.35) (for Germany).

    Operating modes In the “control off” mode (chap. 6.2.1), the controller is non-functional and displays only the actual values. There is no heating or refrigeration. The temperature approximates the ambient value, the fan turns with 40 % speed. You can enter the desired set point values in “fixed value” mode (chap. 8). The controller then operates as a fixed-point control, i.e., it reaches and maintains the defined temperature set-point until the next manual change.
