after reaching the sterilizing temperature. When using sterilizing boxes, the sterilizing time must be
increased by another 15 - 30 minutes.

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

6. Temperature safety device class 1 (option)

The chamber c an be optionally equipped with a temperature safety device class 1 acc. to DIN 12880. It
serves to protect the chamber and prevents dangerous conditions caused by major defects.

This option permits unsupervised operating of the device.

If the nominal temperature is exceeded by about 25 degrees, the over temperature protective device
permanently turns off the chamber.

When the chamber has cooled down, you can turn on the heating by pressing the reset button at the
back of the chamber. If the heating elements turn off repeatedly, have a specialist investigate and remove
the reason of the failure. The reset button is located on the chamber rear, at the bottom right side.

9. Technical description

9.1 Factory calibration and adjustment

This chamber 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.

9.2 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

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

Figure 8: Determination of the useable volume

Technical data refers to the so 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.

E 28: At working temperatures below approx. 70 °C / 158 °F and very low charge, temperature
variations due to physical reasons can occur. In order to reduce them we recommend
charging the oven with at least 20% of the usable volume.

9.3 Over current protection

The chambers are protected by a miniature fuse against over current, accessible from the outside. The
miniature fuse is located on the right side of the chamber below the strain relief of the power cord. The
fuse holder is equipped with a fuse clip 5mm x 20 mm. A fuse may be replaced only with a substitute of
the same ratings. Refer to the technical data of the respective device type.
