1.5 General safety instructions on installing and operating the redLINE
chambers
With regard to operating the redLINE chambers and to their installation location, please observe the
guideline BGI/GUV-I 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).
The manufacturer is only responsible for the safety features of the unit provided skilled electricians or
qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer 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 unit, use only original accessories or accessories from third-party suppliers authorized by
the manufacturer. The user is responsible for any risk caused by using unauthorized accessories.
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the unit.
∅Do NOT install redLINE chambers in unventilated recesses.
¾Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
Do not operate the redLINE chambers in hazardous locations.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅Do NOT operate redLINE chambers in potentially explosive areas.
¾KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the unit.
The redLINE chambers do not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅Do NOT introduce any substance into the redLINE chambers 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 unit into operation.

Redline Operating Manual RE / RF / RI 12/2010 page 16/46
DANGER
Electrical hazard.
Danger of death.
∅The unit must NOT become wet during operation or maintenance.
redLINE chambers were produced in accordance with VDE regulations and were routinely tested in
accordance to VDE 0411-1 (IEC 61010-1).
CAUTION
The inner chamber and the outgoing air pipe will become hot during operation.
Danger of burning.
∅Do NOT touch the inner surfaces, the access ports, or the charging material during
operation.
1.6 Intended use
Gravity convection ovens RE and mechanical convection ovens RF are designed for all standard
drying and tempering tasks as well as sterilizing glassware. They are intended for use in biological,
chemical, medical, pharmaceutical and physical laboratories.
Incubators RI are designed to cultivate microorganisms at defined temperatures. They can be used e. g.
for determining the number of microorganisms through plate count methods or detecting of pathogenic
germs, e.g. in product samples. They are intended for use in biological, chemical, medical, and
pharmaceutical laboratories.
Any 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.
Other applications are not approved.
Do NOT use redLINE chambers for drying purpose if greater quantities of steam leading to condensation
will be set free.
Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 10) are part of the intended use.
Due to the special demands of the Medical Device Directive (MDD) this ovens are not qualified for
sterilization of medical devices as defined by the directive 93/42/EWG.

2. Unit description
Function
Gravity convection ovens RE and mechanical convection ovens RF are suitable for drying and heat
treatment of solid or pulverized charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat. They
are designed for all standard drying and tempering tasks as well as sterilizing glassware. RF permits
shorter drying times.
The incubators RI are designed for exact temperation of harmless materials. They are designed to
cultivate microorganisms at defined temperatures.
Controller
redLINE chambers are equipped with an electronic PID-controller with digital display. The ovens RE and
RF have a temperature display and setting with an accuracy of one degree. The incubators RI have a
temperature display and setting with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree. The integrated timer can be set
to 0-9999 minutes. Also continuous operation is possible.
Interior and housing
The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the inside of the doors are all made of stainless steel.
When operating the ovens RE and RF at temperatures above 150 °C / 302°F, the impact of the oxygen in
the air may cause discoloration of the metallic surfaces (yellowish-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 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also completely coated.
Heating and ventilation
redLINE chambers are heated electrically and ventilated naturally. Mechanical convection ovens RF are
ventilated by fan-assisted, forced-air circulation. The direct heating system provides an extremely precise
internal temperature. A thermoelement serves to measure the tempering of the interior, which is
controlled by the redline controller.
Temperature range: Ovens RE and RF: by 7 °C / 12°F above room temperature up to 220 °C / 428°F.
Incubators RI: by 7 °C / 12°F above room temperature up to 70 °C / 158°F.
Temperature safety device
redLINE chambers are equipped with a temperature safety device class 1 according to DIN12880. The
temperature fuse is triggered irreversibly if the maximum temperature of 229 °C / 444.2°F (RE, RF) resp.
110 °C / 230°F (RI) inside the chamber is exceeded.
Electrical connection
redLINE chambers are available for a 230 V, redLINE UL chambers for a 100-120 V power supply.

3. Scope of delivery, transportation, storage, and installation
3.1 Unpacking, and checking equipment and scope of delivery
After unpacking, please check the redLINE chamber and its optional accessories, if any, based on the
delivery note for completeness and for transportation damage. If transportation damage has occurred,
inform the carrier immediately and have it confirmed on the proof of delivery by the vehicle driver who
delivers the equipment.
The final tests of the manufacturer may cause traces of the trays on the inner surfaces. This has no
impact on the function and performance of the unit.
Please remove any transportation protection devices and adhesives in/on the unit and on the doors and
take out the operating manuals and accessory equipment.

If following storage in a cold location the unit is transferred to the installation site for start-up,
condensation may form. Wait at least one hour until the oven has attained ambient temperature and is
completely dry.
3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the redLINE chamber on a flat, even, and non-flammable surface, free from vibration and in a well-
ventilated, dry location and align them using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of
supporting the unit’s weight (see technical data, chap. 14.4). The chambers are designed for setting up
inside a building (indoor use). Set up the chamber in such a way that the main power switch (7) is easily
accessible and can be turned off immediately in case of danger.
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the unit.
∅Do NOT set up redLINE chambers in non-ventilated recesses.
