These operating instructions must be kept with the unit at all times in a place where they are
clearly visible. They must be comprehensible and written in the language of the employees.
FDL (E2.1) 02/2015 page 15/75
1.8 Measures to prevent accidents
During drying of fluid paints, flammable solvent/air mixtures can form and ignite.
The manufacturer took the following measures to prevent ignition and explosions:
• Indications on the type plate
See operating manual chap. 1.4
• Operating manual
An operating manual is available for each safety drying oven.
A diagram in the operating manual (chap. 2.3) indicates the maximum permissible solvent quantities
for various operating states.
The operating manual asks the operator of the safety drying oven to set up an instruction on the per-
missible loading quantity.
• Maximum temperatures and maximum permissible steam concentration
By means of the diagram “Highest permissible solvent quantity”, which is included in the operating
manual chap. 2.3 and applied on the front of the safety drying oven, the operator must adapt the drying temperature to the maximum solvent quantity arising.
When using nitro-cellulose lacquers or nitro combination lacquers, the diagram ”Highest permissible
solvent quantity” specifies a limit temperature of max. 130 °C/ 266 °F, which must not be exceeded.
(In this context, all paints containing more than 5 % nitro-cellulose relative to the non-volatile contents
are regarded as nitro-cellulose lacquers and nitro-combination lacquers).
A gas-tight separation between the drying chamber and the heating chamber is not necessary since
there is an effective forced air motion in the entire steam room.
• Throttle valves
No throttle valves are used, i.e., the full air change occurs permanently.
• Protecting the heating surfaces against dripping
All heating elements are protected against lacquer dripping and direct contact with lacquer coatings.
• Heat insulation
All heat insulation is sealed against penetration by lacquer vapors from the outside with high temperature-resistant and ageing-resistant sealant.
The insulation material consists of non-combustible mineral wool (class A1 according to DIN 41021:1998).
• Overtemperature monitoring
The safety drying oven is equipped with a temperature display, which can be read from outside.
A built-in additional temperature safety device can turn off the heating and is functionally independent
of the main controller. When turning off the unit, the forced convection and the control equipment’s
function are maintained.
Visual (red indicator light) and audible (buzzer) signals indicate temperature exceeding.
• Monitoring the stream of exhaust air during prepurge
The unit complies with the requirements on monitoring the pressure switch according to EN
1539:2009 and EN ISO 13849:2008.
The fan only turns on after pressing pushbutton “START” (4).
After approx. 2 minutes of prepurge with monitoring the stream of exhaust air the heating turns on.
• Door switch
When opening the door, fan and heating turn off. To restart the drying process new prepurge is required.
FDL (E2.1) 02/2015 page 16/75
• Safety in case the technical ventilation fails
The heating only turns on if the air circulation is already in operation.
If the air circulation fails, the heating immediately turns off. In addition, there is a visual signal: red in-
dicator light “AIR” (3). As an additional indication there is an acoustical signal which can be reset on
the controller.
• Moving parts participating in the work process
It is impossible to touch the fan from outside the device or from the interior.
• Safety, measurement and control devices
The safety, measuring, and control equipment is easily accessible via the housing top cover.
• Electrostatic charge
The interior parts are grounded.
• Protection against touchable surfaces
Tested according to EN ISO 13732-1:2008.
• Floors
See operating manual chap. 3.4 for the oven’s installation.
• Ventilation
Ventilation shall be realized by the operator according to GUV-R 500 chap. 2.29 “Verarbeiten von
Beschichtungsstoffen” (Processing of paints) (for Germany).
• Cleaning
See operating manual chap. 14.
• Examinations
The safety drying oven has been inspected by the “Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung e.V.
(DGUV), Fachausschuss Nahrungs- und Genussmittel, Prüf- und Zertifizierungsstelle im DGUV Test“
(German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), Expert Committee: “Metal and Surface Treatment”, Testing and Certification Body in DGUV) and bears the GS mark.
FDL (E2.1) 02/2015 page 17/75
1.9 Important points to consider before commissioning
1.9.1 Technical ventilation / permissible load
For safety reasons, the formation of a dangerous, explosive atmosphere must be avoided in all operating
modes (see GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coating materials")). Keeping the maximum permissible amount of solvent when loading the unit will meet this
requirement. The permissible quantity can be calculated according to the "principles for the calculation of
ventilation of chamber dryers and continuous dryers" (EN 1539:2009, Appendix B). According to this
standard, the safety drying oven’s technical data (chap. 17.3) must be included in the calculation, and it is
required to set up a set of loading instructions (for Germany).
1.9.2 Loading instructions
The loading instructions should specify the amount of material, which can be loaded into the safety drying
oven for treatment without any risk of creating a dangerous, explosive atmosphere. GUV-R 500 chap.
2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coating materials") explicitly states
that the operator must set up a set of loading instructions (for Germany).
1.9.3 Drying nitro-cellulose lacquers
When using the safety drying oven FDL to dry material, which is coated with nitro-cellulose lacquers, the
temperature safety device must be set to max. 130 °C / 266 °F, so that the surface temperature of the
goods to be dried is ensured not to exceed 130 °C / 266 °F. Deviations are only permissible if a report
from a testing agency, which is recognized by the employer's liability insurance association, has declared
safe a higher surface temperature.
1.9.4 Drying mould varnishes
When using the safety drying oven FDL to dry mould varnishes, the operator is allowed to increase the
highest permissible amount of solvent specified for surface drying (chap. 2.3) by up to 10 times (see
GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coating materials")
or EN 1539:2009, Appendix A.1.1.2).
1.9.5 Drying impregnating resins
When using the safety drying oven FDL to dry impregnating resins, the operator is allowed to increase
the highest permissible amount of solvent specified for surface drying (chap. 2.3) by up to 20 times (see
GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coating materials")
no. 3.7.4 or EN 1539:2009, Appendix A.1.1.2).
FDL (E2.1) 02/2015 page 18/75
2. Unit description
The safety drying oven FDL 115 was built according to EN 1539:2009 (“Dryers and ovens, in which
flammable substances are released. Safety requirements”).
The fan in the rear of the safety drying oven delivers a constant amount of fresh air through the working
area irrespective of the drying temperature. A large-area filter removes dust from the incoming air (permeability up to approx. 1 micrometer).
A flow monitor in the upper part of the device (pressure differential switch) monitors the stream of exhaust
air. In the event of failure, the monitoring system turns the heater off immediately and shows this status
with a visual signal: red indicator light “AIR” (3) (see Figure 4).
After turning on the chamber with the main power switch, pressing the “START” pushbutton will start the
fan and the prepurge procedure. The indicator light “AIR” (3) in the operating panel lights up as long as
the heating has not yet been released by the air-flow monitoring. As an additional indication there is an
acoustical signal which can be reset on the controller with the “EXIT” key. The chamber heating is released after approx. 2 minutes of prepurge with monitoring the stream of exhaust air. When opening the
door, fan and heating turn off. To restart the drying process new prepurge is required.
The drying temperature is also monitored constantly by the temperature safety device (2). In case the
temperature exceeds the maximum permissible temperature, the heating will be turned off immediately
and this status registered by an audible and a visual signal – indicator light (2a). In case of failure, it is
impossible to restart the drying oven before the reset key (2b) was reset.
BINDER safety drying ovens with forced convection FDL are equipped with the electronic program controller RD3 with digital display. This permits programming of temperature cycles.
The APT.line™ heating system ensures 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 required temperature accuracy.
All functions of the multifunctional program control can be set simply and conveniently via the easy to
understand function keypad of the RD3 temperature program controller. This controller is equipped with
touch function keys and a digital display and permits exact temperature setting and programming temperature cycles. The FDL provides almost unlimited possibilities of adapting to individual customer requirements based upon extensive programming options and on the week program timer and real time
clock of the controller.
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.
The inner chamber and the interior side of the doors are made of stainless steel V2A (German material
no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). When operating the chamber 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 unit. The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also completely
coated.
The safety drying oven FDL comes equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer communication,
e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 13.1). For further
options, see chap. 17.4.
The units can be operated at an ambient temperature of 18 °C / 64.4 °F up to 40 °C / 104 °F in a temperature control range by 5 °C above ambient temperature up to +300 °C / 572 °F.

ence to the drying temperature. This is based on the calculation acc. to EN 1539:2009 considering the
unit specific data, an assumed molecular weight of the solvent of 100g/Mol, and a lower explosion limit of
3
40g/m
at 20 °C / 68 °F and at 760 Torr (1013 hPa) (assumptions for unknown solvents acc. to EN
1539:2009).
FDL (E2.1) 02/2015 page 21/75
In case of too high drying temperature and /or too high quantity of solvent in the steam room it could be
possible that the concentration of the solvent steam will lead to an explosion. The permitted maximum of
solvent brought into the drying oven and the maximal temperature must not be exceeded.
