2. Unit description

BINDER incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED and FD are equipped with an electronic PID­controller with digital display.

The incubators BD indicate the temperature with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.
The drying and heating ovens ED and FD indicate the temperature with an accuracy of one

degree.

The incubators BD and the drying and heating ovens ED are heated electrically and are ventilated
naturally. Drying and heating ovens FD are ventilated by fan-assisted, forced-air circulation.

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. With FD, the fan supports
exact attainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.

BINDER incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED and FD are regularly equipped with a
temperature safety device according to DIN12880 (chap. 7).

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 drying and heating
ovens ED and FD at temperatures above 150 °C / 302 °F, the impact 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 unit. The housing is RAL
7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also completely coated.

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.

BINDER incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED (option) are equipped with a serial interface RS
422 for computer communication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem
(option, chap. 8.2). For further options, see chap. 12.7 to 12.9.

The models size 720 are equipped with
Temperature range at an ambient temperature of +18 °C up to +40 °C / 64.4 °F to 104 °F.

• Incubators BD: 5 °C / 9 °F above room temperature up to 100 °C / 212 °F.

When specifying the set point ramp (see chap. 6.4.2) this setting is accordingly taken as the basis.

If the unit is changed, the temperature set-point and limits are converted accordingly.

BD / ED / FD (E2) 02/2015 page 29/63

0 °C = 31 °F
100 °C = 212 °F

Conversion:
[Value in °F] = [Value in °C] ∗ 1.8 + 32

6.4.2 Entering a temperature ramp

You can program temperature ramps in order to extend heating up times. This may be necessary in some
cases to prevent temperature stresses in the material during the heating up phase. Temperature ramps
should only be used if required. Using them may result in considerably slowing down the heating up
times.

The entry in °C/min or in °F/min means the nominal value gradient and limits the maximum temperature
increase to this value. Due to the heat and evaporation energy assumed by the drying material, smaller
temperature gradients may also result.

A temperature ramp proceeds from a previously entered set-point to a new one. The temperature must be
equilibrated to the start set-point. Perform the setting in the following 3 steps:

1. Enter the set-point of the ramp start temperature. Let the temperature equilibrate to this value.

2. Set the ramp to the desired gradient. You can select a gradient from 0.0 °C/min up to 1.0 °C/min (BD),

resp. from 1 °C/min up to 10 °C/min (ED, FD).
A heating-up rate of 0.4 °C/min (BD) resp. 4 °C/min (ED, FD) can be regarded as a realistic maximum.

3. Enter the set-point (target ramp temperature).

Set a ramp gradient only if required. The setting “0” means “ramp function turned off”. The unit will heat
up with its maximum heating capacity.

1. Press down button for approx. 5 seconds.

The display alternately shows “unit” and the temperature unit:

2. Press again button .

The display alternately shows “rASd” and the actual setting of the set-point gradient:

3. Set the desired ramp gradient with buttons (set-point gradient in °F or °C acc. to the

selected setting, see chap. 6.4.1).

4. The set value is automatically adopted after 2 seconds.

During ramp operation the actual set-point (SPr) continually rises in accordance to the entered gradient
from the previously entered set-point to the new one (SP). The actual value follows he set-point value.

About set-point display during ramp operation see chap. 6.2.

6.4.3 Chamber addressing

If several incubators BD or drying and heating ovens ED (option) are networked with a PC via the APT­COM communication software (option, chap. 8.2), each unit must be allocated a unique address.
Addressing takes place on the chamber controller as follows:

BD / ED / FD (E2) 02/2015 page 30/63

1. Press down button for approx. 5 seconds.

The display alternately shows “unit” and the temperature unit:

2. Press again button .

4. Set the required address with buttons .

You can enter address values between 1 and 30.

5. The set value is automatically adopted after 2 seconds.

6.5 General notes

Approx. 30 sec. after the last entry the controller returns to normal display (actual value
display).

The functions set-point entry (chap. 6.1), time functions (chap. 6.3), and calling up the user
menu (chap. 6.4) can only be selected from normal display (actual value display).

When selecting the functions set-point entry and time functions, and when selecting the user

menu functions, the respective button or must be pressed down for a about 1 sec.
Shorter pressing will be ignored by the controller.

After a power failure, the timer returns to the previous status. A remaining time, if any, will
continue running down.

Adjust the safety device following any changes of the set-point (chap. 7).

12. Technical description

12.1 Factory calibration and adjustment

This unit was calibrated and adjusted in the factory. Calibration and adjustment were performed using
standardized test instructions, according to the QM DIN EN ISO 9001 system applied by BINDER
(certified since December 1996 by TÜV CERT). All test equipment used is subject to the administration of
measurement and test equipment that is also constituent part of the BINDER QM DIN EN ISO 9001
systems. They are controlled and calibrated to a DKD-Standard at regular intervals.

12.2 Definition of usable volume

The usable volume illustrated below is calculated as follows:

A, B, C = Internal dimensions (W, H, D)
a, b, c = Wall clearances

a = 0.1 x A
b = 0.1x B
c = 0.1 x C

= (A - 2a) x (B - 2b) x (C - 2c)

V

USE

Figure 11: Determination of the useable volume

The technical data refers to the defined usable volume.

Do NOT place samples outside this usable volume.
Do NOT load this volume by more than half to enable sufficient airflow inside the chamber.
Do NOT divide the usable volume into separate parts with large area samples.
Do NOT place samples too close to each other in order to permit circulation between them

and thus obtain a homogenous distribution of temperature.

12.3 Over current protection

Single-phase devices are protected by a miniature fuse against over current, accessible from the

outside. The miniature fuse is located at the rear of the chamber below the strain relief of the power cord.
The fuse holder is equipped with a fuse clip 5mm x 20 mm. (CUL-Version 6,3x32 mm). The fuse may be
replaced only with a substitute of the same ratings. Refer to the technical data of the respective device
type.

Three-phase devices are equipped with internal fuses not accessible from outside. If these fuses are
blown, please inform an electronic engineer or BINDER service.
