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 mois-
ture 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 accord-
ance 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, BF), 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.
∅BF, FD, FED: Do not place the power cable over the door gap when the chamber is hot
after operation.

BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 12/2017 page 11/105
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 and BF are especially useful for incuba-
tion 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 mate-
rial 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 ovens 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. 13) is part of the intended use.
WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continu-
ous 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 ma-
chine 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 cham-
ber 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.
Connect only external devices to the chamber interfaces Ethernet (regular with FED, optional with BD,
BF, ED, FD) and USB which are compliant with the standards EN 61010-1:2010 or EN 60950-1:2006
mod.

2. Chamber description
BINDER incubators BD and BF and drying and heating ovens ED, FD and FED are equipped with an
electronic PID-controller with digital display.
The incubators BD and BF indicate the temperature with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.
The drying and heating ovens ED, FD and FED indicate the temperature with an accuracy of
one degree.
All chambers are heated electrically. Incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED are ventilated nat-
urally. Incubators BF and drying and heating ovens FD and FED are ventilated by fan-assisted, forced-air
circulation.
The concept of air conduction guarantees high level of spatial and time-based temperature precision,
thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. With BF, FD and FED, the fan supports
exact attainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.
The chambers are regularly equipped with an overtemperature safety device class 1 acc. to
DIN12880:2007 and with an overtemperature safety controller (overtemperature temperature safety de-
vice class 2 or class 3.1 acc. to DIN12880:2007), see chap. 7).
The inner chamber and the inside of the doors are made of stainless steel V2A (German material no.
1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304 and material no. 1.4016, US equivalent AISI 430). Drying and heating
ovens ED, FD and FED: When operating the chambers at temperatures above 150 °C / 302 °F, the im-
pact 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 chamber. The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also com-
pletely coated.
All chamber functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features
are easy cleaning of all chamber parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
The chambers are regularly (FED) or optionally equipped with an Ethernet interface for computer com-
munication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 12.1)
and with a USB interface to read out the measured values in real time.
The models size 720 are equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be locked by brakes.
Temperature ranges see technical data (chap. 16.4 - 16.8).

•The domestic socket must also provide a protective conductor. Make sure that the connection of the
protective conductor of the domestic installations to the chamber’s protective conductor meets the
latest technology. The protective conductors of the socket and plug must be compatible!
•Prior to connection and start-up, check the power supply voltage. Compare the values to the specified
data located on the chamber’s type plate (left-hand side of the chamber, 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). We recommend the use of a residual current circuit
breaker.
•Only use original connection cables from BINDER.
•BF, FD, FED: Do not place the power cable over the door gap when the chamber is hot after operati-
on.
•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.
Check the power supply voltage before connection and start-up.
Compare the power supply voltage with the data indicated on the type plate.
See also electrical data (chap. 16.4 to 16.7).
To completely separate the chamber from the power supply, you must disconnect the power
plug. Install the chamber in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily
pulled in case of danger.
4.3 Connection to an exhaust/ventilation system (optional)
Active suction from the chamber must only be effected together with external air. Therefore, the cham-
ber’s exhaust air duct shall not be immediately connected to an active exhaust system.
When connecting to an active exhaust system, proceed as follows:
•Perforate the connecting piece between the exhaust air duct and the exhaust system.
Or
•Use an exhaust air funnel placed in a distance of 3-5 cm / 1 to 2 in from the exhaust air duct. The
funnel’s opening must be at least twice as large as the diameter of the exhaust air duct.
If improperly connected to an active exhaust/ventilation system, the spatial temperature
exactitude (uniformity), the heating-up and recovering times as well as the maximum tem-
perature of the chamber may be negatively affected.
CAUTION
The exhaust duct will become hot during operation.
Danger of burning.
∅Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation.
