2. Warranty

BINDER products are manufactured with great care and checked carefully prior to delivery (VDE-piece checked).

1. Should your BINDER product have a material defect or manufacturing fault, we shall repair it – as long

as it is a new BINDER product – free of charge if the defect or fault occurs within 12 months after delivery. This period will be extended to 24 months, starting from delivery, provided that all maintenance and potential repair work within the first 12 months is carried out by us or authorized service stations.

2. Should you discover a defect or fault in your BINDER product within the aforementioned period,

please inform the company from which you purchased the BINDER product or BINDER directly.

3. All above-mentioned periods or deadlines shall begin with the delivery of a new BINDER product to

the end buyer. Producing the invoice or delivery note shall bring evidence of deadline keeping.

4. In case a BINDER product has a defect or fault, we shall either replace the defective product with a

new one or repair the defective product at our discretion (so called supplementary performance – “Nacherfüllung”). All parts replaced in the course of such repair shall become our property. Deadlines mentioned under above number 1 shall not be prolonged by repair work or substitution. In case supplementary performance should fail, usual warranty rights according to German Law (withdrawal from contract or price reduction) shall apply, provided the defect or fault occurs within the first 12 months. Should the 24 month-period be relevant and supplementary performance fail, you shall only be entitled to a price reduction.

5. Should the defect occur within 12 months after delivery, we shall take over all costs necessary for the

repair of the defect, especially transportation, travel and labor costs, in so far as there is no cost increase due to the product being brought to another location than the place of delivery. However, we shall decide whether the defect will be repaired at the location where the BINDER product is operating or whether the BINDER product has to be sent to us. In case the 24 month-period should be relevant, please send the defective BINDER product at your expense to BINDER or the company from which you purchased the BINDER product. We shall repair the BINDER product at your premises only if transportation costs are excessively high. The customer shall be liable for any risk of sudden destruction or deterioration.

6. Should you have to send back a BINDER product, the BINDER product will have to be supplied in its

original packaging or any similar suitable packaging.

7. All warranty claims as laid down in this document basically become invalid:

• if the defect or fault is caused by repair or intervention by non-authorized persons. With authorized persons, we mean only Binder service engineers and service engineers of our service partners.

• the same applies if you have attached non-suitable parts or accessories to the BINDER products, which are not original BINDER spare parts, and if those parts or accessories have caused the defect or fault.

• parts that become used due to natural wear and tear, e.g. door seals, lamps, lights (enumeration not exhaustive)

• defects caused by external intervention like e.g. fall or blow

• defects arising from non-compliance with operating instructions, improper use, abnormal ambient

conditions, overload or absence of care/maintenance

• in the case of devices that were converted or redesigned by non-authorized third parties

• in case of minor deviations from the set quality that are irrelevant to the value and usability of the

device

8. All rights or claims beyond the ones described above, especially concerning the right of compensation for potential damages which might be caused by BINDER products shall be excluded provided that such exclusion is not prohibited by governing law.

FP 01/2006 page 12/52

9. Should you send a BINDER product to us for repair or any other reasons, we shall only accept the BINDER product upon presentation of a so-called authorization number that has previously been issued to you. We shall issue the authorization number after receiving your complaint in writing or via telephone prior to your sending (back) the BINDER product to us. The authorization number will be issued following the receipt of the information mentioned below:

• BINDER product type and serial number

• Name and address of the dealer from which you bought the BINDER product

• Exact description of defect or fault

• Your full address; if possible contact person and availability of that person

• Exact location of the BINDER product

• Contamination clearance certificate via fax in advance!

The authorization number needs to be applied to the packaging in such a way that it can be easily recognized or be recorded clearly in the delivery documents. For security reasons we cannot accept

your delivery if it does not carry an authorization number!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Any warranty repair maintenance or service work may only be carried out by persons or companies being properly authorized by us. If you do not know an authorized service station, please contact us and we will name you our service partner closest to you. Otherwise, we will carry out the necessary work ourselves.

• When connecting, please observe the regulations specified by the local electricity supply company and as well as the VDE directives (for Germany)

• Pollution degree (acc. to IEC 1010-1): 2

• Over-voltage category (acc. to IEC 1010-1): II

CAUTION

Danger of incorrect mains voltage. Damage of the equipment.

 Check the mains voltage before connection and start-up.  Compare the mains voltage to the data indicated on the type plate.

See also electrical data (chap. 16.4).

5.2 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 outgoing air pipe.

Active suction from the oven must only be effected together with extraneous air. Perforate the connecting piece to the suction device or place an exhaust funnel at some distance to the outgoing air pipe.

CAUTION

The exhaust duct will become hot during operation. Danger of burning.

∅ Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation.

6. Start up

Having connected the electrical supply (chap. 5.1), switch on the unit by the main switch (1).

6.1 Air change

Opening the air flap in the outgoing air pipe 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.

FP 01/2006 page 18/52

6.2 Settings at the RD3 program controller

After turning the unit on with the main 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 equals the set-point.

In Display 1 of the controller the actual temperature value is displayed. In Display 2 of the controller the temperature set-point is displayed.

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. 13.1) specially developed by BINDER.

FP 01/2006 page 19/52

6.3 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 temperature set-point (display

2).

• The chamber is in fixed value operating mode, adjusting to the entered set-points.

Fixed value entry mode (chap. 7)

• Entry of set-points for temperature and fan speed in fixed value operating mode

Program editor (chap. 8)

• Two programs with up to 10 sections each or one program with up to 20 sections can be entered.

Entry of set-points for temperature and fan speed in all program sections (chap. 8.2).

• Deleting a program section (chap. 8.4)

Program start level (chap. 9)

• Selection of an entered program

• Entry of settings affecting the program course, as start delay time or number of program cycles

If no button is hit for more than 120 sec, or if the EXIT button is hit, the controller changes to Normal Display.

Value is displayed in display 1.

When changing the set-point, check the setting of the safety device (chap. 10).

If the fan is operated with less than 100 % speed, the temperature performance and the spatial exactitude of the temperature can differ from the manufacturer’s specifications. Do reduce the fan speed only if absolutely necessary due to special requirements.

The values entered in fixed-value entry mode remain valid after program run-off and are then equilibrated.

8.1 Selecting between set-point ramp and set-point step

Set-points always refer to the start of a program section, i.e., at the beginning of each program section, the entered set-point will be reached. During program section operation, the temperature gradually passes to the set-point entered for the following program section.

By appropriate design of the program section timing, all kinds of temperature transitions can be programmed:

• Gradual temperature changes “set-point ramp“

The set-point gradually moves from one set-point to the one of the following program section during a given interval. The actual temperature value (X) follows the continually moving set-point (W) at any moment.

• Program sections with constant temperature

The initial values of two subsequent program sections are identical; therefore the temperature is kept constant during the whole time of the first program section.

• Sudden temperature changes “set-point step”

Steps are temperature changes (ramps) that occur during a very short interval. Two program sections with an identical set-point are followed by a section with a different set-point. If the duration of this transitional program section is very short (minimum entry 1 min), the temperature change will proceed rapidly in the possible minimum time.

* Only with option zero-voltage relay outputs via operation lines, see chap 13.6. The values of such a program table can now be entered to the RD3 program controller (chap. 8.2).

Advice for the programming of the different temperature transitions

The end point of the desired cycle must be programmed with an additional section (in our examples S05 for set-point ramp and S08 for set-point step) with a section time of at least one minute. Otherwise the program will stop one section too early because the program line is incomplete.

If the tolerance limits set in the user level (chap. 10) are exceeded, the program is halted until the actual temperature value is again situated in the tolerance range. During this program interruption the LED (3d) flashes. Therefore, the duration of the program might be extended due to the programming of tolerances

The programming is conserved even in case of power failure or after switching off the unit.

8.2 Set-point entry for program operation

From Normal Display the program editor is accessed by hitting button X/W for 5 sec. Here the set-points are entered one after the other in all program sections of a selected program.

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).

In order to avoid incorrect programming the values of the program course should be entered into a table (template in chap. 8.3).

Program table (example):

S01 40 00:30 50 000 S02 60 01:30 100 000 S03 90 01:00 100 000 S04 90 03:20 100 000 S05 110 00:01 100 000

If no program section has been entered yet the display switches back to 01 with all entries > 01, because all sections have to be entered one after, and each new section is created as NEWSEC.

If e.g. already three program sections have been entered, the next section to be entered is S04. Before this, no section > S04 can be selected.

FP 01/2006 page 25/52

Next step – entry of set-points in the desired program sections:

Basic entry principle: The parameters of individual program sections are called up with button X/W one

after the other. The values of the individual parameters can be entered with the arrow keys. A value flashes once after 2 seconds thus indicating that it has been taken over to the controller. If several parameters are to be skipped (e.g. in order to change a parameter in a posterior program section), the parameters can be rapidly jumped over by holding pressed down the X/W key. If no button is hit during more than 120 sec the controller switches back to Normal Display. The program entered so far remains saved.

If you delete a program section which is followed by further sections, those following move up to the place of the deleted section.

In our example section S03 has been deleted. Sections S04, S05, etc., in case they have been programmed earlier, will now receive the preceding sections numbers, i.e., S04 is now called S03 etc.

It is thus not possible to temporarily inactivate a program section, but deletion leads to overwriting the section by the following one. To enter a section later to a program also the sections following the new one must be entered again.

CONTINUE X/W (information: set-point entry with X/W)

Hit key EXIT or wait 120 sec

Controller returns to Normal Display

9. Program start level

In a first step a program is selected. This on condition that a program has been entered previously (chap.

8.2) and that program type “2 programs with 10 sections each” has been selected in the user level (chap.

10). Then the settings for the program course are defined. Two parameters can be set:

• Program delay time, i.e. a defined time before program start. It can be entered with precision of 1 min and is max. 99.59 (99 hs 59 min). If the value is 00.00 the program is started without any delay.

• Number of program cycles, i.e. the desired number of program repeats. Values from 1 to 99 can be entered. If the program is not to be repeated, enter value 0. For infinite repeats enter value –1. The program is repeated as a whole, it is not possible to repeat individual sections.

In a last step the selected program is started. These steps must be carried out subsequently.

Step 1 – Program selection (only with program type “2 programs” set):

Figure 8: Safety thermostat class 2

Function:

The safety thermostat class 2 is functionally and electrically independent of the temperature control device and switches off permanently at all poles.

When the control knob (2) is set to the end stop (position 10), the safety thermostat class 2 acts as a unit protection device. If it is set somewhat higher than the set-point temperature selected on the controller, it acts as a material protection device.

FP 01/2006 page 36/52

When the safety device has switched off the unit, which can be seen from the illumination of the red alarm lamp (2a), perform the following steps:

• Disconnect the unit from the mains.

• Have the cause of the fault examined and rectified by a technician.

• Release safety thermostat class 2 by pressing reset button (2b).

• Restart the unit as described in chap. 6.

Setting:

In order to check at which temperature the safety device activates, start the unit and set the required nominal value on the temperature controller.

The scale division from 1 to 10 corresponds to the temperature range from 30°C up to 320°C and serves as a setting aid.

• Turn the control knob (2) of the safety device using a coin to its end-stop (position 10) (unit protection).

• When the set point is reached, turn back the control knob (2) until its trip point (turn it anti-clockwise).

• The trip point is identifiable by the red alarm lamp (2a) lighting up; the reset button (2b) jumps out.

• The optimum setting of the safety device is obtained by turning the knob clockwise by around one graduation mark on the scale.

• Push the reset button (2b) in again.

The unit is only active with the reset button (2b) pushed in.

When the safety thermostat class 2 kicks in, the red alarm lamp (2a) illuminates, the reset button (2b) jumps out and the unit switches off permanently at all poles.

Check the safety thermostat with every change of the set point value and readjust it if necessary.

Figure 10: Temperature safety device class 3.3

FP 01/2006 page 37/52

Function: When the control knob (2) is set to the end stop (position 10), the safety thermostat class 3.1 acts as a

unit protection device. If it is set somewhat higher than the set-point temperature selected on the controller, it acts as a material protection device.

When the safety device class 3.1 has taken over control, which can be seen from the illumination of the red alarm lamp (2a), perform the following steps:

• Disconnect the unit from the mains

• Have examined and rectified the cause of the fault by an expert

• Start up the unit again as described in chapter 6.

Adjustment:

To check the response temperature of the safety device class 3.1, switch on the oven and set the desired set point at the temperature controller.

The sections of the scale from 1 to 10 correspond to the temperature range from 63°C to 350°C and serve as a setting aid.

• Turn the control knob (2) of the safety device using a coin to its endstop (position 10) (unit protection).

• When the set point is reached, turn back the control knob (2) until its trip point (turn it anti-clockwise).

• The trip point is identifiable by the red alarm lamp (2a) lighting up.

• The optimum setting for the safety device is obtained by turning the

control knob clockwise by approximately one scale division, which leads to extinguish the red alarm lamp.

Check the setting regularly and adjust it following changes of set-point.

DANGER

Electrical hazard.

Danger of life.

Damage of switching contacts and connection socket.

∅ Do NOT exceed the maximum switching load of 24V AC/DC – 2.5A.

∅ Do NOT connect any devices with a higher loading capacity.

13.7 Mostly gas-tight version (option for FP 53 and FP 115)

With this option the heating/drying oven is additionally sealed, so the loss when introducing gases is decreased. The unit is not completely gas-tight, so it is impossible to establish overpressure. The sealing diminishes the release of vapors via the housing that may be set free from the charging material when heated. Carrying-off via the regular evacuation duct, e.g. into a waste air installation, is likely to further reduce emissions.

The unit is not completely gas-tight. Gases from inside the heating/drying oven can escape into the surrounding atmosphere.

Respect the maximum working place concentration of the released substance. Respect the relevant regulations.

Any harmful gas that might escape has to be led out via good room ventilation or a suitable exhaust system. Place the unit, if necessary, below a gas vent.

13.8 Inert gas connection (option for FP 53 and FP 115)

With this option, the heating/drying oven is equipped with two ports for inert gas (on top in the middle, and down at the right, both on the rear of the unit). Each of these ports can be used as inlet or outlet, depending on the nature of the inert gas (heavy gas: upper port as inlet, lighter gas: lower port as inlet).

Connect a flexible gas tube to the gas tube connection adapter (diameter 10mm) used for gas inlet, and secure it with hose clamps (not enclosed).

The unit is not gas-tight. Gases from inside the high performance temperature chamber can escape into the surrounding atmosphere.

Any gas that might escape has to be led out via good room ventilation or a suitable exhaust system

WARNING
