2. Chamber description
BINDER drying and heating ovens with forced convection and program functions FP are equipped with
the electronic program controller RD3 with digital display. This allows programming of temperature cycles
and an individual fan speed setting for each program section. The chamber provides almost unlimited
possibilities for adaptation to individual customer requirements based upon extensive programming
options and on the week program timer and real time clock of the controller.
The APT.line™ preheating chamber system guarantees high level of spatial and time-based temperature
precision, thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. The fan supports exact
attainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy. The fan speed is digitally adjustable
from 0 % to 100%.
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 inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the inside of the doors are all made of stainless steel
V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). When operating the chamber at
temperatures above 150 °C, the influence of the oxygen in the air may cause coloration 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 completely coated.
The chambers are regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer communication, e.g. via
the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 15.1). For further options,
see chap. 19.5.
The model FP 720 is equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be locked by brakes.
The chambers can be operated in a temperature range of 5 °C / 9 °F above ambient temperature up to
300 °C / 572 °F.

•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 data
specified on the type plate of the chamber (chamber 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). We recommend the use of a residual current circuit
breaker.
•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. 19.4).
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.
4.2 Connection to a suction plant (optional)
When directly connecting a suction plant the spatial temperature exactitude, the heating-up and the
recovering times and the maximum temperature will be negatively influenced. So no suction plant should
be directly connected to the exhaust duct.
Active suction from the oven must only be performed together with extraneous air. Perforate
the connecting piece to the suction device or place an exhaust funnel at some distance to the
exhaust duct.

FP (E1.1) 07/2017 page 17/90
CAUTION
The exhaust duct will become hot during operation.
Danger of burning.
∅Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation.
5. Start up
Having connected the electrical supply (chap. 4.1), turn on the chamber by the main power switch (1).
Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a
quality defect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal
temperature for one day and in a well-ventilated location.
5.1 Air change
Opening the air flap in the exhaust duct serves to adjust the air change.
Without connecting a suction plant:
•If the air flap is open and the fan is operating, fresh air comes in via aeration gaps.
•If the air flap is completely open, the spatial temperature accuracy can be negatively influenced.
5.2 Settings at the RD3 program controller
After turning the chamber on with the main power switch (1) the controller is in Normal Display / fixed
value operation mode.
Depending on the temperature value entered before LED (3a) is lit if the heating is active, or no LED if the
actual temperature is equal to or above the set-point.
In Display 1 of the controller the actual temperature value is displayed.
•With inactive week program timer:
In Display 2 of the controller the actual date and time are displayed. Example:
15.05.06 13:52
•With active week program timer:
In Display 2of the controller the actual date and time and the states of the week program timer
channels are displayed. Examples:

Figure 6: RD3 program controller
The program controller RD3 allows programming of temperature cycles. For each program section also
the fan speed can be regulated.
Two programs with up to 10 sections each or one program with up to 20 sections can be entered (setting
in the user level, chap. 10).
When changing from 2 programs to 1 program or vice-versa, existing programs are deleted
The maximum length of an individual program section can be set to either 99 hs 59 min or to 999 hs 59
min (setting in the user level, chap. 10). This setting is then valid for all program sections.
Programming can be done directly via the controller keyboard or graphically at the computer using the
software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 15.1) specially developed by BINDER.
5.3 General indications
The program controller RD3 offers several functional levels:
Normal Display / fixed value operation:
•Display of the actual value of temperature (display 1) and of the actual date and time (display 2).
•The chamber is in fixed value operating mode, adjusting to the entered set-points.

6. Fixed value entry mode
If you do not want to use the week program timer, inactivate it (factory setting, setting in the
user level, chap. 10) before entering set-points. Any setting of the operation lines in fixed
value entry mode is ineffective with active week program timer.
Basic entry principle: Call up the individual parameters with button X/W one after the other. Enter the
values with the arrow keys. A value flashing once after 2 seconds indicates that it has been taken over to
the controller.
