1.5 General safety instructions on installing and operating the incubators BD

and drying and heating ovens ED and FD

With regard to operating the incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED and FD and to the
installation location, please observe the guideline BGI/GUV-I 850-0 on safe working in laboratories
(formerly BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119 laboratory guidelines issued by the employers’ liability insurance
association) (for Germany).

BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the unit provided skilled electricians or
qualified personnel authorized by BINDER perform all maintenance and repair, and if components
relating to chamber safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts.

To operate the unit, 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 unit.

∅ Do NOT install the unit in unventilated recesses.

 Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.

Do not operate the incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED and FD in hazardous locations.

The incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED and FD do not dispose of any measures of
explosion protection.

BD / ED / FD (E2) 02/2015 page 15/63

DANGER

Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.

∅ Do NOT operate the unit in potentially explosive areas.

 KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the unit.

DANGER

Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.

∅ Do NOT introduce any substance into the incubator / drying and heating oven 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
moisture constituent or by reaction products that may arise during the temperature process. Take
adequate measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the unit into operation.

DANGER

Electrical hazard.
Danger of death.

∅ The unit must NOT become wet during operation or maintenance.

The incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED and FD were produced in accordance with VDE
regulations and were routinely tested in accordance 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 glass doors and glass door handles (BD), inner chamber, exhaust duct, door
window (option), and the door gaskets will become hot during operation.

Danger of burning.

∅ Do NOT touch the glass doors, inner surfaces, exhaust duct, door window, access

ports, door gaskets, or the charging material during operation.

BD / ED / FD (E2) 02/2015 page 16/63

1.6 Intended use

1.6.1 Incubators BD

The incubators BD are designed for exact temperation of harmless materials. Because of their precise
temperature accuracy these devices are especially useful for incubation of cultures at a standard
temperature of 37 °C / 98.6 °F. Any solvent content must not be explosive or flammable. 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.

Other applications are not approved.

The incubators BD are not classified as medical devices as defined by the Medical Device
Directive 93/42/EEC.

Do NOT use the unit for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.

Observing the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 9) is part of the intended use.

WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised
continuous operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen
or samples to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this
is feasible.

The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the
machine components. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive
damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.

1.6.2 Drying and heating ovens ED and FD

The drying and heating ovens ED and FD are suitable for drying and heat treatment of solid or pulverized
charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat. The solvent content must not be
explosive or flammable. 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. The drying and heating ovens ED and FD can be used to dry e.g. glassware.

Other applications are not approved.
The drying and heating ovens ED and FD are not classified as medical devices as defined by the

Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.

Do NOT use the unit for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.

Due to the special demands of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, these ovens are not
qualified for sterilization of medical devices as defined by the directive.

Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 9) are part of the intended use.

The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the
machine components. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive
damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.

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.

• Drying and heating ovens ED and FD: 5 °C / 9 °F above room temperature up to 300 °C / 572 °F.
