2. Unit description
The high performance temperature chambers APT.line™ M are specially developed precision warming
chamber with high capacity. They are equipped with a multifunctional microprocessor display controller
with a digital display accurate to one-tenth of a degree. With their comprehensive program control func-
tions, they allow the high precision course of temperature cycles with fast heating-up phases.
The high-quality housing insulation guarantees both a low noise mode of operation and a consistently low
housing temperature. The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the inside of the doors are all
made of stainless steal (material no. 1.4301 in Germany). When operating the chamber at temperatures
above 150 °C, influence of the oxygen in the air might cause coloration of the metallic surfaces (yellow-
ish-brown or blue) by natural oxidation processes. These colorations are harmless and will in no way
impair the function or quality of the unit. The housing is RAL 7035powder-coated. All corners and edges
are completely coated.
The high performance temperature chambers M are regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for
computer communication, e.g. with the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (op-
tion, chap. 11.1) For further options, see chap. 15.4.
The M 720 models are equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be locked by brakes.
The chamber can be operated in a temperature range from 5 °C above ambient temperature up to 300
°C.

4. Installation and connections
4.1 Electrical connection
•The high performance temperature chamber has a fixed power connection cable 1800 mm in length.
•M 53, M 115, M 240: Shockproof plug, power supply voltage 230 V (1N~) +/- 10 %, 50/60 Hz
•M 400, M 720: CEE plug 5 poles, power supply voltage 400 V (3N~) +/- 10 %, 50/60 Hz
•Prior to connection and start-up, check the power supply voltage. Compare the values to the data
specified on the type plate of the unit (unit front behind the door, bottom left-hand, chap. 1.4)
•When connecting, please observe the regulations specified by the local electricity supply company
and as well as the VDE directives (for Germany)
•Pollution degree (acc. to IEC 61010-1): 2
•Over-voltage category (acc. to IEC 61010-1): II
CAUTION
Danger of incorrect power supply voltage.
Damage to the equipment.
¾Check the power supply voltage before connection and start-up.
¾Compare the power supply voltage with the data indicated on the type plate.
See also electrical data (chap. 15.3).
To completely isolate the unit from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug.
Install the unit in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily discon-
nected in case of danger.
4.2 Connection to a suction plant (optional)
When directly connecting a suction plant the spatial temperature exactitude, the heating-up and the re-
covering times and the maximum temperature will be negatively influenced. So no suction plant should be
directly connected to the outgoing air pipe.
Active suction from the oven must only be effected together with extraneous air. Perforate the
connecting piece to the suction device or place an exhaust funnel at some distance to the
outgoing air pipe.
CAUTION
The exhaust duct will become hot during operation.
Danger of burning.
∅Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation.
5. Start up
After connecting the electrical supply (chap. 4.1), switch on the unit by the main switch (2).

5.2 Operating modes
The program controller MB1 operates in 3 modes:
Idle Mode The controller is not functional, i.e., there is no heating. The fan turns
at 50% rate.
Manual Mode
(Fixed value operation)
(HAND)
The controller operates as a fixed-point control, i.e., a temperature
set-point can be defined, which is then maintained (chap. 8).
Program Mode (AUTO) An entered temperature program is run (chap. 9).
The program controller MB1 allows programming temperature cycles.
The controller offers 25 program memory positions with 100 program sections each. The total number of
program sections of all programs is limited to 500.
Programming can be done directly through the keypad of the controller or graphically through the soft-
ware APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 11.1) specially developed by BINDER.

M 01/2009 page 18/61
5.3 Behavior after power failure
After power return, the unit continues operating in the operating mode actual before power failure. In
Manual Mode (HAND), the controller regulates the temperature to the last entered set-points, while in
Program Mode (AUTO) it regulates the temperature to its set-point actually reached during program op-
eration. The power failure is noted in the event list (chap. 6.2). No error message is displayed indicating
that a power failure has taken place.
5.4 Switching on the unit
Put the main switch (2) in position I. The pilot lamp shows the unit being ready for operation.
Observe a delay time of about 30s between switching Off and On again. Otherwise an initiali-
zation problem might occur (display showing e.g. “–1999”).
In case the main switch is already in position I and yet the controller screen is dark, the chamber is in
stand-by mode. Switch on the unit by pressing any button. When switched on, the unit operates in the
operating mode entered before switching off. In Manual Mode (HAND), the controller regulates the tem-
perature to the last entered set-point, and in Program Mode (AUTO) it regulates the temperature to the
set-points reached during previous program operation.

Heating up time
Average heating up time approx. 5 °C/min (the air flap closed and the fan set to maximum speed).
Cooling down time
Average cooling down time approx. 0.2 °C/min to 1.5 °C/min (the air flap open and the fan set to maxi-
mum speed).
If the unit is fully loaded, the specified heating up and cooling down times may vary according
to the load.
