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

glass doors and glass door han d les (BD, BF), inner chamber, exhaust duct, door

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 th e charging material m ust not be explosive or inflamm able. I.e., irrespect ive of
the solvent concentrati on in the steam room, NO explos ive mixture with air must f orm. The temperature
inside the chamber mus t lie below the flash point or below th e sublimation po int of the charging m aterial.
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 a ny potential health risks caused b y the charging material, the conta ined mois­ture constituent or b y reaction products that m ay arise during the temperature pr ocess. Take adequate
measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the chamber into operation.

DANGER

Electrical hazard.
Danger of death.

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

The chambers were produ ced in accordance with VDE regu lations and were routinel y 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
window (option), and the door gaskets will b ecome 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 / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 07/2017 page 10/99

1.6 Intended use

The chambers are suitable f or ex act tempering of harmless materials and for drying and heat tre at ment of
solid or pulverized c h argi ng material, as well as bu lk mater ia l, usin g th e s up ply of heat. They ca n b e used
to dry e.g. glassware, and for warm storage of liquids in containers.

Because of their precise temperature accuracy the incubators BD and BF are especially useful for incuba­tion of cultures at a standard temperature of 37 °C / 98.6 °F.

A solvent content m ust not be ex plosi ve or flam m able. A m ixture of any componen t of the c harging m ate­rial with air must NOT be explosi ve. T he oper at ing te mperature must lie below the f lash poin t or below th e
sublimation point of the chargin g material. Any com ponent of th e charging m aterial mus t 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 D evice Directive

93/42/EEC.

Do NOT use the chamber for drying proces ses 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.

Observing the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 13) 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.

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 into

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 device there is no risk for the user through t he integration of the cham­ber into systems or by special environmental or operating conditions in th e sense of EN 61010-1:2010.
For this, the intended use of the chamber and all its connections must be observed.

Connect only external devi ces to the chamber interfaces Ether net (regular with FED, optional with BD,
BF, ED, FD) and USB which are compliant with the standards EN 61010-1:2010 or EN 60950-1:2006

2. Chamber description

BINDER incubators BD a nd BF and drying and heating ovens ED, FD an d FED are equipped with an
electronic PID-contro ll er with digit al disp lay.

The incubators BD and BF indicate the temperature with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.
The drying and heating ovens ED, FD and FED indicate the tem per atur e with an a c cur acy of

one degree.

All chambers are heated electricall y. Incubators BD a nd drying and he ating oven s ED are ventilated n at­urally. Incubat ors BF and dr ying and hea ting o vens F D and FED are vent ilated by fan-assisted, forced-air
circulation.

7. Overtemperature protection

7.1 Overtemperature protective device (class 1)

The chambers are regularl y equipped with an overtemperature protect ive device (safety device class 1
acc. to DIN 12880:2007). I t serves to protect t he chamber, its enviro nment and the contents a gainst ex­ceeding the maxim um permissible temperature. When a defined tem per ature is reac hed, whic h is approx.
by 20 °C to 30 °C above the c hamber’s nominal tem peratur e, t he ov er temperature protective d evic e tur ns
off the heating.

Cut-off temperature values:
BD, BF: 120 °C
ED 260: 320 °C
ED 56, ED 115, FD 56, FED 56: 330 °C
FD 115, FD 260, FED 115, FED 260: 350 °C

The message “Overtemperature” is displayed on the controller.

If the overtemperature protective device class 1 has turned off the heating, proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the chamber from the power supply for at least 10 seconds (pull the power plug).

• If appropriate, have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.

• Let the chamber cool down

• Restart the chamber.

As soon as the inner cham ber temperature after restart is below the defined cut-off temperature of the
overtemperature protective device class 1, the alarm message is deleted automatically.

7.2 Safety controller

The chambers ar e regularly equipped with an adjustable electronic saf ety controller. It serves to protect
the chamber, its en vironm ent and t he co ntents against exceeding the m ax imum perm issible tem perature.
Please observe the DGUV gui del in es 213-850 on safe working in lab orator i es ( f ormerly BGI/GUV-I 850-0,
BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119, issued by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Germany).

Depending on the cham ber type the safety controller acts as an over temperature s afety device class 2
(“temperature limiter”) or class 3.1 (“temperature protection”) acc. to DIN 12880:2007.

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

• Safety controller class 2 (“temperature limiter”) with ED, FD and FED

The safety controller class 2 lim its the tem perature ins ide the cham ber to the ent ered safet y controller
set-point. In the event of a fault (if this maxim um temperature is exceede d) the safety contro ller com­pletely turns of f the heating unti l manual reset. This s tatus is reported visually by an alarm message
and, in case of the option aud ible alarm with activated buzzer (chap. 7.6) additionally by the buzzer
sounding.

If the safety controller class 2 has turned off the heating, we recommend proceeding as follows:

• Disconnect the chamber from the power supply.

• Have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.

• Restart the chamber

• Reset the alarm message

• Safety contro ller class 3.1 (“temperature protection”) with BD and BF

The safety controller class 3.1 limits the tem perature i nside the cham ber to the enter ed safet y control­ler set-point. In the event of a fault (if this maxim um tem per ature is exc eeded), it takes over the c ontro l
to this value. T his status is reported v isually by an alarm message and, in case of the option audible
alarm with activated buzzer (chap. 7.6) additionally by the buzzer sounding.

The safety controller k eeps control of the cham ber until the chamber temperatur e cools down below
the safety controller set-point value.

If the safety controller class 3.1 has taken over control, we recommend proceeding as follows:

• Disconnect the chamber from the power supply.

• Have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.

• Restart the chamber

• Reset the alarm message

Function check:

Check the safety contro ller at ap propriat e inter vals f or i ts func tionalit y. It is r ecom m ended that the aut hor­ized operating personnel should perform such a check, e.g., before starting a longer work procedure.

9. Ramp function

9.1 General information

You can program tem peratur e ramps in order to extend heating up t im es . T his may be nec ess ary in some
cases to prevent temperature stress 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. When the ramp function is turned off, the chamber will heat up with its maximum heating capacity.

The entry means the nom inal value gradient and limits the max imum temperature increase t o this value.
Due to the heat and evapo ration energy assumed b y the drying material, smaller temperature gradients
may also result.

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

1. Enter the temperature set-point as start ramp set-point and let the tem perature equilibrate to this

value

2. Define the temperature increase (ramp gradient) in °C/min or in °F/min in the setting menu “Ramp

function”
You can select a gradient from „0.0“ up to „1.0“ or from „1“ up to „10“ according to the chamber type.
When setting t he gradient to „0.0“ or „0“, r amp function is turned of f. The chamber will then heat up

with its maximum heating capacity.
The chamber will tr y to heat up accor ding to the ente red gradient, i.e. w ith a speed of xx degree per

minute. A heat ing-up rate of 0.4 °C/m in for the incubators BD and BF resp. 4 °C/min for the heating
and drying ovens ED, FD and FED can be regarded as a realistic maximum.

3. Enter the target ramp set-point in the “ramp function” setting menu.
As soon as the entries h av e bee n ad opt ed, t he r amp function is activated. The cham ber heats up with t he

entered gradient, if the set ramp target value lies above the actual temperature va lue.
During ramp operation the effective ramp set-point continua lly rises in acc ordanc e to the entered grad i-

ent from the previ ously ent ered set-point to the new o ne. The actual value foll ows this c ontinua lly chan g­ing eff ective ramp s et-point. As soon as the ramp target value is reached, this tem perature is maintained
constant.

The actual temperature value, the selected gradient, and the targ et va lue are shown in Normal display.
The effective ramp set-point can be seen through the temperature set-point function.

12.5 Water protected disconnectable internal socket (option BD, BF)

You can turn on or of f the disc onnectab le water protected i nternal soc ket (C A3GD) f or line voltage inside
the chamber by the s witch in the triangular ins trument panel, independen t of the incubator operati ng or
not. Thus, devices operate d inside the incu bator can be started or stopped witho ut any need to o pen the
chamber doors.

The internal socket provides a protective conductor, theref ore it is possible to connect appliances with
protection class I.

The internal socket is splash proof.
IP system of protection 67 230 V 1N ~ 50-60 Hz. Charge max. 500 W

Maximum permitted operating temperature with this option: 90 °C / 194 °F.

WARNING

Exceeding of the permitted maximum temperature.
Electrical hazard.
Danger of death.
Damage to the internal socket.

∅ Do NOT exceed the temperature set-point of 90 °C / 194 °F.

 Set the safety controller class 3.1 to 90 °C / 194 °F.

Heat emission of electrical devices connected inside the chamber may modify the temperature
range.

Risk of short circuit.
Damage to the chamber.

 Use the delivered plug only (IP protection type 66). Plug-in the plug and turn it to se-

cure.

 If the socket is not used, close the lift-up lid and turn it for securing.

BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 07/2017 page 54/99

Controller shutdown by the standby button has no effect on the internal socket.

WARNING

Internal socket switched on even though controller is shut down.
Electrical hazard.

 Turn off the internal socket separately, when not in use, by the switch in the triangular

instrument panel

12.6 HEPA fresh air filter (optio n for FD, FED)

With this option, the introduced fresh air is cleaned by means of a high efficiency submicron particulate air
filter type HEPA class H 14 (acc. to DIN EN 1822:2 009). Repl ace the filter i nsert, if necessar y, by remov­ing the metal cover of the filter at the left side of the chamber (Art. No. 6014-0003).

12.7 Mostly gas-tight version (option for BF, FD, FED)

With this option th e c hamber is additionally sealed, so the l os s whe n introd uc in g gas es is dec reas e d. The
chamber is not com pletely gas-tigh t, so it is im possibl e to establis h overpres sure. T he sealing d iminishes
the release of vapors via the housin g that may be set free from the charging material when heated. Carry­ing-off via the regular ev acuation duct, e.g. into a waste air insta llation, is likely to further reduce em is­sions.

The chamber is not completely gas-tight. Gases from inside the chamber can escape into the
surrounding atmospher e.

Observe the occupational exposure limit OEL for the released substance set by the national
authorities (formerly maximum permitted workplace concentration). 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 chamber, if necessary, below a gas vent.

The air flap does not cl ose the exhaust duct complete ly. The delivered p lug serves to avo id emerging of
vapors or loss of intro duced inert gas, if an y, via the exhaust duct. Due to special demands of heat re­sistance, use the delivered plug only.

CAUTION

Use of inappropriate plug.
Danger of inflammation.

 To close the exhaust duct use the delivered plug only.

For drying purpose, pl ease remove the plug in order to permit dissipa tion of the generated vapor , which
would lead to condensation in the inner chamber.

12.8 Inert gas connection with mostly gas-tight version (option for BF, FD, FED)

With this option the chamber is additionally sealed, so the loss when introducing inert gases is decreased.
For details on the mostly gas-tight version please refer to chap. 8.4.

The chamber is equipped with two ports for inert gas ( nitrog en or nob le gases ).
The ports are located on the top panel in the middle and on the chamber re ar at the bottom right.

Each of these ports can be used as inlet or outlet, depending on the nature of the inert gas:

• lighter gas (nitrogen, helium): lower port as inlet

• heavy gas (e.g. argon): upper port as inlet

This distinction is important when operating with a reduced fan speed.

BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 07/2017 page 55/99

Connection

Observe the legal requir ements and rele vant stand ard s and regu lations for the s af e handling of gas cylin­ders and inert gases.

General information for safe handling of gas cylinders:

• Store and use gas cylinders only in well ventilated areas.

• Open the gas cylinder valve slowly to avoid pressure surges

• Secure gas cylinders during storage and use against falling (chaining).

• Transport gas cylinders with a cylinder cart, do not carry, roll, or throw them

• Always close t he valve ev e n with app ar ent l y empty cylinders; sc r ew on the c ap when n ot in

use. Return gas cylinders with the valve closed

• Do not open gas cylinders by force. Mark them when damaged

• Observe relevant regulations for dealing with gas cylinders.

Connect a flexible gas t ube to the gas hos e connection a dapter (diameter 10mm), which is use d for gas
inlet, and secure it with hose clam ps (hose and h ose clamps ar e not enclosed). T here is a constan t gas
flow after establishing the connection.

After connecting the gas cylinder, check all gas connections for leaks (e.g. with leak spray or
diluted soap solution).

Use a pressure reducer an d make sure to avoid any exces sive outlet pressure when c onnecting the gas
hose to the chamber.

The chamber is not entirely gas-tight. Inert gases from inside the chamber can escape into the
surrounding atmospher e.

Inert gases in high c oncentrations is hazardous t o health. They are colorless and almost odorless and
therefore practicall y imperceptible. Inhalation of inert gases can cause drowsiness up to respirat ory ar­rest. When the O
gas that might escape has to be led out via good room ventilation or a suitable exhaust system.

WARNING

High concentration of inert gas.
Risk of death by suffocation.

∅ Do NOT set up chambers in non-ventilated recesses.

 Ensure technical ventilation measures.
 Respect the relevant regulations for handling these gases.

Inert gases, which are heavier than air, may accumulate in low-lying areas of the installation
site.

The “Mostly gas-tight version” reduces the loss of gas.
Setting (sample values):

If you want to flush the cham ber with an air exchange rate of 1 per hour, set the flow rate on the
pressure reducer according to the interior volume.

Chamber with 56 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 56 l / h is 0.9 l / min.
Chamber with 115 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 115 l / h is 1.9 l / min.
Chamber with 260 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 260 l / h is 4.3 l / min.

The air flap does not clos e the exhaust d uct complete ly. The deli vered plug serv es to avo id loss of intro­duced inert gas via the exh aust duct. Due to spec ial demands of heat resistance, use the d elivered plug
only.

Figure 9: Determination of the useable volume

16. Technical description

16.1 Factory calibration and adjustment

This chamber was calibrated and adjusted in the factory. Calibration and adjustment were performed
using standardized tes t instructions, acc ording to the QM DIN EN ISO 9001 syst em applied by BINDER
(certified since December 1996 by TÜV CERT). All test equipm ent used i s subj ec t to th e administration of
measurement and test equi pment that is also cons tituent part of the BINDER QM DIN EN ISO 9001 sys­tems. They are controlled and calibrated to a DKD-Standard at regular intervals.

16.2 De fi ni ti on of us able 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

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.

16.3 O ver current protection

Single-phase devices are protected by one (U L chambers) or two miniature fuses agai nst over current,

accessible from the outside. The m iniature fuses are locat ed at the rear of th e chamber below th e strain
relief of the power c ord. Each fuse holder is equ ip ped w ith a fuse clip 5mm x 20 mm (c UL-Version 6,3x32
mm). A fuse may be replaced onl y with a substi tute of the sam e ratings. Refer t o the technic al data of the
respective device type.

Two-phase devices are equipped with a resettable miniature circuit breaker (combination element).
