CE conformity marking
Electrical and electronic equipment manufactured / placed
on the market in the EU after 13 August 2005 and to be
disposed of in a separate collection according to directive
2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE).
The chamber is certified according to Customs Union
Technical Regulation (CU TR) for the Eurasian Economic
Union (Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan).
GS mark of conformity of the “Deutsche Gesetzliche
Unfallversicherung e.V. (DGUV), Prüf- und
Zertifizierungsstelle Nahrungsmittel und Verpackung im
DGUV Test“ (German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV),
Testing and Certification Body for Foodstuffs and
Packaging Industry in DGUV Test).
Not valid for UL chambers
(UL chamber only) The chamber is certified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.®
according to the following standards:
UL 61010A-1, 1st Edition, UL 61010A-2-10, 1st Edition
CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1-92, IEC 1010-2-10
1.5 General safety instructions on installing and operating the chambers
With regard to operating the chambers and to the installation location, 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’ liability insurance association) (for Germany).
BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the chamber 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.
To operate the chamber, use only original BINDER accessories or accessories from third-party suppliers
authorized by BINDER. The user is responsible for any risk caused by using unauthorized accessories.
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the chamber.
∅Do NOT install the chamber in unventilated recesses.
Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.

BD / ED / FD (E2) 03/2019 page 9/68
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.
Danger of death.
∅Do NOT introduce any substance into the chamber which is combustible or explosive at
working temperature.
∅NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
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.
Familiarize yourself with any potential health risks caused by the charging material, the contained
moisture constituent or by reaction products that may arise during the temperature process. Take
adequate measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the chamber into operation.
DANGER
Electrical hazard.
Danger of death.
∅The chamber must NOT become wet during operation or maintenance.
The chambers were produced in accordance with VDE regulations and were routinely tested in
accordance to VDE 0411-1 (IEC 61010-1).
During and shortly after operation, the temperature of the inner surfaces almost equals the set-point.
CAUTION
The glass doors and glass door handles (BD), inner chamber, exhaust duct, door
window (option), and the door gaskets will become hot during operation.
Danger of burning.
∅Do NOT touch the glass doors, inner surfaces, exhaust duct, door window, access
ports, door gaskets, or the charging material during operation.

BD / ED / FD (E2) 03/2019 page 10/68
1.6 Intended use
The chambers are suitable for exact tempering of harmless materials and for drying and heat treatment of
solid or pulverized charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat. They can be used
to dry e.g. glassware, and for warm storage of liquids in containers.
Because of their precise temperature accuracy the incubators BD are especially useful for incubation of
cultures at a standard temperature of 37 °C / 98.6 °F.
A solvent content must not be explosive or flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging
material with air must NOT be explosive. The operating temperature must lie below the flash point or
below the sublimation point of the charging material. Any component of the charging material must NOT
be able to release toxic gases
Other applications are not approved.
The chambers are not classified as medical devices as defined by the Medical Device Directive
93/42/EEC.
Do NOT use the chamber for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.
Due to the special demands of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, these chambers are
not qualified for sterilization of medical devices as defined by the directive.
Observing the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 9) is part of the intended use.
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.
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.
DANGER
Explosion or implosion hazard.
Danger of poisoning.
Danger of death.
∅Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into
the chamber, in particular no energy sources such as batteries or lithium-ion batteries.
∅NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
∅Do NOT introduce any substance which could lead to release of toxic gases.
In case of foreseeable use of the device there is no risk for the user through the integration of the
chamber into systems or by special environmental or operating conditions in the sense of EN 61010-
1:2010. For this, the intended use of the chamber and all its connections must be observed.
