2. Chamber description

BINDER incubators B and drying and heating ovens E are heated electrically and are ventilated naturally.
The chambers are NOT regularly equipped with any temperature safety device consequently correspond

to class 0 according to DIN 12880:2007. Operating is allowed under supervision only.

CAUTION

Danger of overheating.
Damage to the chamber.
Damage to the charging material.

∅ Do NOT operate an unsupervised chamber.

 Operate the chamber under supervision only.

The chambers can be optionally equipped with a temperature safety device class 1.0 according to
DIN12880:2007 (chap. 6).

The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the interior side of the doors are all made of stainless
steel V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). The housing is RAL 7035 powder­coated. All corners and edges are also completely coated.

All chamber functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features
are easy cleaning of all chamber parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.

Drying and heating ovens E: When operating the chambers at temperatures above 150 °C, 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 chamber.

Temperature range at an ambient temperature of +18 °C to +40 °C / 64.4 °F to 104 °F:
