clearly visible. They must be comprehensible and written in the language of the employees.

FDL (E2) 03/2011 page 15/68
1.8 Measures to prevent accidents
During drying of fluid paints, flammable solvent/air mixtures can form and ignite.
The manufacturer took the following measures to prevent ignition and explosions:
•Indications on the type plate
See operating manual chap. 1.4
•Operating manual
An operating manual is available for each safety / paint drying oven.
A diagram in the operating manual (chap. 2.3) indicates the maximum permissible solvent quantities
for various operating states.
The operating manual asks the operator of the safety / paint drying oven to set up an instruction on
the permissible loading quantity.
•Maximum temperatures and maximum permissible steam concentration
By means of the diagram “Highest permissible solvent quantity”, which is included in the operating
manual chap. 2.3 and applied on the front of the safety / paint drying oven, the operator must adapt
the drying temperature to the maximum solvent quantity arising.
When using nitro-cellulose lacquers or nitro combination lacquers, the diagram ”Highest permissible
solvent quantity” specifies a limit temperature of max. 130 °C/ 266 °F, which must not be exceeded.
(In this context, all paints containing more than 5 % nitro-cellulose relative to the non-volatile contents
are regarded as nitro-cellulose lacquers and nitro-combination lacquers).
A gas-tight separation between the drying chamber and the heating chamber is not necessary since
there is an effective forced air motion in the entire steam room.
•Throttle valves
No throttle valves are used, i.e., the full air change occurs permanently.
•Protecting the heating surfaces against dripping
The BINDER APT.line™ preheating chamber protects all heating elements against lacquer dripping
and direct contact with lacquer coatings.
•Heat insulation
All heat insulation is sealed against penetration by lacquer vapors from the outside with high tempera-
ture-resistant and ageing-resistant sealant.
The insulation material consists of non-combustible mineral wool (class A1 according to DIN 4102-
1:1998).
•Temperature monitoring
The safety / paint drying oven is equipped with a temperature display, which can be read from outside.
A built-in additional temperature safety device can turn off the heating and is functionally independent
of the main controller. When turning off the unit, the forced convection and the control equipment’s
function are maintained. Visual (red indicator light) and audible (buzzer) signals indicate temperature
exceeding.
•Safety in case the technical ventilation fails
The heating only turns on if the air circulation is already in operation.
If the air circulation fails, the heating immediately turns off. In addition, there are audible (buzzer) and
visual (red indicator light) signals.
•Moving parts participating in the work process
It is impossible to touch the fan from outside the device or from the interior.
•Safety, measurement and control devices
The safety, measuring, and control equipment is easily accessible via the housing top cover.

FDL (E2) 03/2011 page 16/68
•Electrostatic charge
The interior parts are grounded.
•Protection against touchable surfaces
Tested according to EN ISO 13732-1:2006.
•Floors
See operating manual chap. 3.4 for the oven’s installation.
•Ventilation
Ventilation shall be realized by the operator according to GUV-R 500 chap. 2.29 “Verarbeiten von
Beschichtungsstoffen” (Processing of paints) (for Germany).
•Cleaning
See operating manual chap. 14.
•Examinations
The safety / paint drying oven has been inspected by the “Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung
e.V. (DGUV), Fachausschuss Nahrungs- und Genussmittel, Prüf- und Zertifizierungsstelle im DGUV
Test“ (German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), Expert Committee: “Metal and Surface Treatment”,
Testing and Certification Body in DGUV) and bears the GS mark.
1.9 Important points to consider before commissioning
1.9.1 Technical ventilation / permissible load
For safety reasons, the formation of a dangerous, explosive atmosphere must be avoided in all operating
modes (see GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coat-
ing materials")). Keeping the maximum permissible amount of solvent when loading the unit will meet this
requirement. The permissible quantity can be calculated according to the "principles for the calculation of
ventilation of chamber dryers and continuous dryers" (EN 1539:2009, Appendix B). According to this
standard, the safety / paint drying oven’s technical data (chap. 17.3) must be included in the calculation,
and it is required to set up a set of loading instructions (for Germany).
1.9.2 Loading instructions
The loading instructions should specify the amount of material, which can be loaded into the drying oven
for treatment without any risk of creating a dangerous, explosive atmosphere. GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28
“Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coating materials") explicitly states that
the operator must set up a set of loading instructions (for Germany).
1.9.3 Drying nitro-cellulose lacquers
When using the safety / paint drying oven FDL to dry material, which is coated with nitro-cellulose lac-
quers, the temperature safety device must be set to max. 130 °C / 266 °F, so that the surface tempera-
ture of the goods to be dried is ensured not to exceed 130 °C / 266 °F. Deviations are only permissible if
a report from a testing agency, which is recognized by the employer's liability insurance association, has
declared safe a higher surface temperature.
1.9.4 Drying mould varnishes
When using the safety / paint drying oven FDL to dry mould varnishes, the operator is allowed to increase
the highest permissible amount of solvent specified for surface drying (chap. 2.3) by up to 10 times (see
GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coating materials")
or EN 1539:2009, Appendix A.1.1.2).

FDL (E2) 03/2011 page 17/68
1.9.5 Drying impregnating resins
When using the safety / paint drying oven FDL to dry impregnating resins, the operator is allowed to in-
crease the highest permissible amount of solvent specified for surface drying (chap. 2.3) by up to 20
times (see GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 „Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe“ ("Dryers for coating
materials") no. 3.7.4 or EN 1539:2009, Appendix A.1.1.2).
2. Unit description
The safety / paint drying oven FDL 115 was built according to EN 1539:2009 (“Dryers and ovens, in
which flammable substances are released. Safety requirements”).
The fan in the rear of the safety / paint drying oven delivers a constant amount of fresh air through the
working area irrespective of the drying temperature. A large-area filter removes dust from the incoming
air (permeability up to approx. 1 micrometer).
A flow monitor in the upper part of the device (pressure differential switch) monitors the stream of exhaust
air. In the event of failure, the monitoring system turns the heater off immediately and registers this status
with a visual and an audible signal. The heating of the device is released with a time delay of 4 minutes
after you turn on the device by its main power switch.
The indicator light (3) in the operating panel only lights up as long as the air-flow monitor has not yet en-
abled the heating process. The drying temperature is also monitored constantly by the temperature limiter
(2). If the temperature would exceed the maximum permissible temperature, the heating is turned off
immediately and this state is indicated visually by indicator light (2a) and acoustically. In the event of fail-
ure, the safety / paint drying oven cannot be restarted until the RESET key (2b) or (4) has been reset
BINDER safety / paint drying ovens with forced convection FDL are equipped with the electronic program
controller RD3 with digital display. This permits programming of temperature cycles.
The APT.line™ preheating chamber system ensures high level of spatial and time-based temperature
precision, thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. The air turbine supports ex-
act attainment and maintenance of the required temperature accuracy.
All functions of the multifunctional program control can be set simply and conveniently via the easy to
understand function keypad of the RD3 temperature program controller. This controller is equipped with
touch function keys and a digital display and permits exact temperature setting and programming tem-
perature cycles. The FDL provides almost unlimited possibilities of adapting to individual customer re-
quirements based upon extensive programming options and on the week program timer and real time
clock of the controller.
All unit functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features are
easy cleaning of all unit parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the interior side of the doors are all made of stainless
steel (material no. 1.4301 (V2A) in Germany, US equivalent 304). When operating the chamber at tem-
peratures above 150 °C, the impact of the oxygen in the air may cause discoloration of the metallic sur-
faces (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.
The safety / paint drying oven FDL comes equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer commu-
nication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 13.1). For
further options, see chap. 17.4.
The units can be operated at an ambient temperature of 18 °C / 64.4 °F up to 40 °C / 104 °F in a tem-
perature control range by 5 °C above ambient temperature up to +300 °C / 572 °F.
