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.
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).
Unit description A high level of precision, reliability, and safety for all growth parameters ensures optimum incubation conditions. Moreover, the KT cooling incubator is designed for maximum usability – even in continuous operation year after year. It fulfills all technical and application-specific requirements arising in experimentation such as in the areas of biotechnology, medicine, the nutrition industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, botany, and zoology.

Second-hand units are units 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 flawlessly. Second-hand units are marked with a sticker on the unit door. Please remove the sticker before commissioning the unit.
Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: 10 °C / 14°F to +60 °C / 140°F. You can order transport packing for moving or shipping purposes from BINDER service. Storage Intermediate storage of the unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for temporary decommissioning (chap.

Two devices up to size 115l can be piled on top of each other. For this purpose, place rubber pads under all four feet of the upper unit to prevent the device from slipping. CAUTION Sliding or tilting of the upper unit. Damage to the units.
Installation of the equipment Spacer for wall distance Please fix both spacers with the supplied screws at the unit rear. This serves to ensure the prescribed minimum distance to the rear wall of 100 mm / 3.94 in.

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.

Performance during and after power failure During a power failure, all controller functions are shut down. The optional zero-voltage relay alarm output (chap. 19.4) is switched to alarm position for the whole duration of the power failure. After the power returns, all functions return to the same status the chamber had before power failure. . The controller continues to function in the original operating mode it was in previously before the power failure occurred.

(certified since December 1996 by TÜV CERT). All test equipment used is subject to the administration of measurement and test equipment that is also a constituent part of the BINDER QM DIN EN ISO 9001 systems. They are controlled and calibrated to a DKD-Standard at regular intervals.
The technical data refers to the defined usable volume. Do NOT place samples outside this usable volume. Do NOT load this volume by more than half to enable sufficient airflow inside the chamber. Do NOT divide the usable volume into separate parts with large area samples. Do NOT place samples too close to each other in order to permit circulation between them and thus obtain a homogenous distribution of temperature and humidity.
All technical data is specified for unloaded units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of +25 °C / 77°F and a power supply voltage fluctuation of +/-10%. Technical data is determined in accordance to BINDER Factory Standard Part 2:2015 and DIN 12880:2007 and refers to 100% fan speed.
