forced-air circulation. They BF are equipped with a temperature safety device according to DIN12880
(chap. 7).
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
attainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.
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). 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.

6.4.2 Entering a temperature ramp
Temperature ramps can be programmed in order to extend heating up times. This may be necessary in
some cases, in order to prevent temperature stresses in the material during the heating up phase.
Temperature ramps should only be used if required. The use of temperature ramps may result in the
heating up times being considerably slowed down.
The entry in °C/min or in °F/min meaning 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 the previously entered to a new set-point. The temperature must have
adjusted to the start set-point. Enter settings in 3 steps:
1. Enter set-point of ramp start temperature. Let temperature adjust to this set-point temperature.
2. Set the ramp to the desired gradient in °C/min or in °F/min.
You can enter a gradient value from 0.0 up to 1.0.
Setting the gradient to 0.0 means ramp function off = maximum heating power.
Setting the gradient to another value, e.g., 0.3, means the unit will try to heat up with a speed of 0.3
°C/min.
A heat-up rate of 0.4 °C/minute can be regarded as a realistic maximum.
3. Enter set-point (final ramp temperature).
The ramp should only be set if required. The setting “0.0” means ramp function turned off. The unit is
being heated at maximum heat output.

7. Temperature safety device class 3.1 (DIN 12880)
The temperature safety device class 3.1 serves to protect the incubator, its environment and the charging
material from exceeding the maximum permissible temperature.
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).
Figure 6: Temperature safety device class 3.1
Function:
The temperature safety device is functionally and electrically independent of the temperature control
system and if an error occurs it performs a regulatory function.
If you turn the control knob (7) to its end-stop (position 10), the safety device class 3.1 protects the
chamber. If you set it to a temperature a little above the controller’s set-point temperature, it protects the
charging material.
If the safety device has taken over control (identifiable by the red alarm lamp (7a) lighting up and, in case
of the option audible alarm with activated buzzer (chap. 8.1), by the buzzer sounding), proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the unit from the power supply.
• Have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.
• Restart the unit (see chap. 5).
Adjustment:
In order to check at which temperature the safety device class 3.1 responds, turn on the chamber and set
the desired set-point on the temperature controller
The sections of the scale from 1 to 10 correspond to the temperature range from 0 °C / 32 °F to 120 °C /

Function check:
Check the temperature safety device class 3.1 at appropriate intervals for its functionality. It is
recommended that the authorized operating personnel should perform such a check, e.g., before starting
a longer work procedure.
This option allows to activate an audible signal with the buzzer switch (10):
Position 0 = buzzer off
Position 1 = buzzer active
If the buzzer is activated, an audible signal sounds when the limit temperature set at the temperature
safety device class 3.1 (chap. 7) is exceeded, this happens in addition to the red alarm pilot lamp (7a)
lighting up. The buzzer can be turned off using the buzzer switch (10).
Turning off the audible alarm does not influence the safety device’s regulatory function.
Proceed as described in chap. 7.
8.2 Communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option)
The incubator is regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 that can connect the BINDER
communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem. The connection to a computer is established
using the BF interface via an interface converter RS 422 / RS 232.
Make sure that the interface mode is correctly set to “0” = “Modbus” in the user level
(chap. 6.4.5).
The actual temperature, and fan speed values are given at adjustable intervals. Up to 30 chambers with
RS 422 interface can be cross linked. For further information, refer to the operating manual of the
BINDER communication software APT-COM™.

9.2.2 Decontamination
The operator must ensure that proper decontamination is performed in case a contamination of the
chamber by hazardous substances has occurred.
Disconnect the chamber from the power supply prior to decontamination. Pull the power plug.
Do not use decontamination agents that may cause a hazard due to reaction with components of the
device or the charging material. If there is doubt regarding the suitability of cleaning products, please
contact BINDER service.
You can use the following disinfectants:
Inner chamber Standard commercial surface disinfectants free from acid or halides.
Alcohol based solutions.
We recommend using the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022.
For chemical disinfection, we recommend using the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022.
Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other disinfectants is excluded from
liability by BINDER GmbH.
With every decontamination method, always use adequate personal safety controls.
In case of impurity of the interior with biological or chemical hazardous material, there are two possible
procedures depending on the type of contamination and of the charging material.
Spray the inner chamber with an appropriate disinfectant.
(1) Before start-up, the unit must be absolute dry and ventilated, because explosive gases may form
during the decontamination process.
(2) If necessary, have strongly contaminated inner chamber parts removed by an engineer for cleaning,
or have them exchanged. Sterilize the inner chamber parts in a sterilizer or autoclave.
In case of eye contact, the disinfectant spray may cause eye damage due to chemical
burns. Follow the operating instructions and safety hints labeled on the bottle of the
disinfectant spray.

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
V
= (A - 2a) x (B - 2b) x (C - 2c)
USE
Figure 9: 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.
