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 guide-
lines 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 relat-
ing 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.
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 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.

M (E2) 04/2019 page 9/71
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 inner chamber, the door gasket, and the exhaust duct will become hot during
operation.
Danger of burning.
Do NOT touch the inner surfaces, the door gasket, the exhaust duct or the charging
material during operation.
1.6 Intended use
Drying and heating ovens with forced convection and advanced program functions M are suitable 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 for drying purposes but are specially designed for solving all the prob-
lems which occur during material and ageing tests.
The chambers are suitable for harmless materials. 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 chambers for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.
Due to the special demands of the Medical Device Directive (MDD), these chamber are not
qualified for sterilization of medical devices as defined by the directive 93/42/EWG.
Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 12) are part of the intended use.
The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the ma-
chine components made of stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. Such ingredients include
in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is exclud-
ed from liability by BINDER GmbH.

M (E2) 04/2019 page 10/71
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 in
to
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 chamber 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.
2. Chamber description
The drying and heating ovens with forced convection and advanced program functions APT.line™ M are
specially developed precision warming chamber with high capacity. They are equipped with a multifunc-
tional microprocessor display controller with a digital display accurate to one-tenth of a degree. With their
comprehensive program control functions, they allow the high precision performance of temperature cy-
cles with fast heating-up phases.
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 at-
tainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.
The high-quality housing insulation ensures both a low noise mode of operation and a consistently low
housing temperature. The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the interior side of the doors are
all made of stainless V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). When operating the
chamber at temperatures above 150 °C / 302 °F, the impact of the oxygen in the air may cause discolora-
tion 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 completely 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 equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer communication, e.g. with the
APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 11.1) For further options, see chap. 15.4.
The M 720 model is equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be easily locked via the attached
brakes.
At an ambient temperature of +18 °C up to +40 °C / 64.4 °F to 104 °F, you can operate the chamber in a
temperature range from 5 °C / 9 °F above ambient temperature up to 300 °C / 572 °F.
