DANGER Explosion hazard. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT introduce any substance into the oven which is combustible or explosive at working temperature. ∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber. ∅ Do NOT use the vacuum drying oven for drying or heat treatments leading to release of combustible vapors able to form an explosive mixture with air.
Intended use The VD vacuum drying ovens are suitable for drying and heat treatment of solid or pulverized charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat under vacuum. The solvent content must not be explosive or flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging material with air must NOT be explosive.

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.
Lift units size 115 with the aid of 6 people. • 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 in a closed and dry room.
(see technical ventilation measures in the guideline BGI/GUV-I 850-0 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119 laboratory guidelines issued by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Germany).

General indications The program controller RD3 offers several functional levels: Normal Display / Fixed value operation: • Display of the temperature actual value (display 1) and of the actual date and time (display 2). • The oven is in fixed value operating mode, equilibrating to the entered set-points. Fixed value entry mode (chap.
Fixed value entry mode If you do not want to use the week program timer, deactivate it (factory setting, setting in the user level, chap. 10) before entering any set-points. Any setting of the operation lines in fixed value entry mode is ineffective with active week program timer. Basic entry principle: Access the individual parameters with button X/W.
CAUTION Too high or too low temperature. Damage to the charging material. Deactivate the week program timer if you do not use it. Week program editor The Week program editor permits defining up to 4 shift point for each week day. A shift point defines a moment and the switching state ON or OFF of the channels that become active in this instance.
