condensation.

FED (E2) 12/2014 page 12/55

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

Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 9) are part of the intended use.

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.

2. Unit description

BINDER drying and heating ovens FED are equipped with an electronic PID-controller with digital display.
The temperature is indicated with an accuracy of one degree.

BINDER drying and heating ovens with forced convection FED are heated electrically and are ventilated
by fan-assisted, forced-air circulation. They FED 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). When operating the unit 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.

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.

BINDER drying and heating ovens FED are equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer
communication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap.

8.1). For further options, see chap. 12.5.

The model FED 720 is equipped with

four castors. Both front castors can be locked by brakes.

The unit can be operated in a temperature range of 5 °C / 9 °F above room temperature up to 300 °C /
572 °F.

6.4.1 Temperature unit change between degrees Celsius °C and degrees Fahrenheit °F

If required, the temperature display can be changed as follows:

1. Press down

button for approx. 5 seconds.

The display alternately shows “unit” and the actual setting of the temperature unit:

2. Use the

buttons to set the required unit.

3. The set unit is automatically adopted after 2 seconds.

C = degrees Celsius
F= degrees Fahrenheit

0 °C = 31°F
100 °C = 212°F

Conversion:

[Value in °F] = [Value in °C] ∗ 1,8 + 32

When specifying the set point ramp (see chap. 6.4.2) this setting is accordingly taken as the basis.

If the unit is changed, the temperature set-point and limits are converted accordingly.

6.4.2 Enter 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 up to 10.
Setting the gradient to 0 means ramp function off = maximum heating power.
Setting the gradient to another value, e.g., 3, means the unit will try to heat up with a speed of 3

°C/min.
A heat-up rate of 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” means ramp function switched off. The unit is

being heated at maximum heat output.

equipped with a keyboard and a large LCD display, alarm functions and a real-time function.
Measurement data are recorded in the Data Logger and can be read out after the measurement via the
RS232 interface of the Data Logger. It offers a programmable measuring interval and permits storing up
to 64000 measuring values. Reading out is done with the Data Logger evaluation software. You can give
out a combined alarm and status protocol directly to a serial printer.

Data Logger Kit T 350: Temperature range 0 °C / 32 °F up to +350 °C / 662 °F

For detailed information on installation and operation of the BINDER Data Logger, please
refer to the mounting instructions Art. No. 7001-0204 and to the original user manual of the
manufacturer, supplied with the data logger.

8.3 HEPA fresh air filter (option)

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). Replace the filter insert, if necessary, by removing
the metal cover of the filter at the left side of the unit (Art. No. 6014-0003).

FED (E2) 12/2014 page 33/55

8.4 Mostly gas-tight version (option for FED 53 and FED 115)

With this option the oven is additionally sealed, so the loss when introducing gases is decreased. The
unit is not completely gas-tight, so it is impossible to establish overpressure. The sealing diminishes the
release of vapors via the housing that may be set free from the charging material when heated. Carrying­off via the regular evacuation duct, e.g. into a waste air installation, is likely to further reduce emissions.

The unit is not completely gas-tight. Gases from inside the oven can escape into the
surrounding atmosphere.

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 unit, if necessary, below a gas vent.

The air flap does not close the exhaust duct completely. The delivered plug serves to avoid emerging of
vapors or loss of introduced inert gas, if any, 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, please remove the plug in order to permit dissipation of the generated vapor, which
would lead to condensation in the inner chamber.

8.5 Inert gas connection with mostly gas-tight version (option for FED 53 and

FED 115)

With this option the oven 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 oven is equipped with two ports for inert gas (nitrogen or noble gases).
The ports are located on the top panel in the middle and on the right side 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

Connection

Observe the legal requirements and relevant standards and regulations for the safe handling of gas
cylinders and inert gases.

FED (E2) 12/2014 page 34/55

cap when not in

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 the valve even with apparently empty cylinders; screw on the

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 tube to the gas hose connection adapter (diameter 10mm), which is used for gas
inlet, and secure it with hose clamps (hose and hose clamps are not enclosed). There is a constant 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 and make sure to avoid any excessive outlet pressure when connecting the gas
hose to the oven.

The unit is not entirely gas-tight. Inert gases from inside the drying and heating oven can
escape into the surrounding atmosphere.

Inert gases in high concentrations is hazardous to health. They are colorless and almost odorless and
therefore practically imperceptible. Inhalation of inert gases can cause drowsiness up to respiratory
arrest. When the O

content of the air decreases below 18%, there is risk of death from lack of oxygen.

2

Any 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 units 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 unit with an air exchange rate of 1 per hour, set the flow rate on the
pressure reducer according to the interior volume.

FED 53 with 53 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 53 l / h is 0.9 l / min.
FED 115 with 115 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 115 l / h is 1.9 l / min.

The air flap does not close the exhaust duct completely. The delivered plug serves to avoid loss of
introduced inert gas via the exhaust duct. Due to special demands of heat resistance, use the delivered
plug only.

FED (E2) 12/2014 page 35/55

ANALOG OUTPUT 4-20 mA DC

A suitable DIN plug is enclosed.

CAUTION

Use of inappropriate plug.

Danger of inflammation.

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

For drying purpose, please remove the plug in order to permit dissipation of the generated vapor, which
would lead to condensation in the inner chamber.

8.6 Analog output for temperature (option)

With this option the chamber is equipped with an analog output 4-20 mA for temperature. This output
permits transmitting data to external data registration systems or devices.

The connection is carried out as a DIN socket at the rear of the chamber as follows:

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 10: 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 5 mm x 20 mm (cUL-Version 6.3 mm x 32 mm). The fuse
may be replaced only with a substitute of the same ratings. Refer to the technical data of the respective
device type.

Three-phase devices are equipped with internal fuses not accessible from outside. If these fuses are
blown, please inform an electronic engineer or BINDER Service.
