2. Chamber description

BINDER drying and heating ovens with forced convection and program functions FP are equipped with the electronic program controller RD3 with digital display. This allows programming of temperature cycles and an individual fan speed setting for each program section. The chamber provides almost unlimited possibilities for adaptation to individual customer requirements based upon extensive programming options and on the week program timer and real time clock of the controller.

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 fan speed is digitally adjustable from 0 % to 100%.

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.

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 chamber at temperatures above 150 °C, the influence of the oxygen in the air may cause coloration 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. The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are completely coated.

The chambers are regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer communication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 15.1). For further options, see chap. 19.5.

The model FP 720 is equipped with The chambers can be operated in a temperature range of 5 °C / 9 °F above ambient temperature up to

 When stacking, place rubber pads under all four feet of the upper chamber.

To completely separate the chamber from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug. Install the chamber in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger.

For the user there is no risk of temporary overvoltages in the sense of EN 61010-1:2010. The chamber must NOT be installed and operated in hazardous locations.

DANGER

Explosion hazard. Danger of death.

∅ Do NOT operate the chamber in potentially explosive areas.

 KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the v i cinity of the chamber.

• The domestic sock et must also provide a protective conductor. Make sure that the connection of the

protective conductor of the domestic installations to the chamber’s protective conductor meets the latest technology. The protective conductors of the socket and plug must be compatible!

• Prior to connection and start-up, check the power supply voltage. Compare the values to the data

specified on the type plate of the chamber (chamber front behind the door, bottom left-hand, chap.

1.4).

• When connecting, please observe the regulations specified by the local electricity supply company

and as well as the VDE directives (for Germany). We recommend the use of a residual current circuit breaker.

CAUTION

Danger of incorrect power supply voltage. Damage to the equipment.

 Check the power supply voltage before connection and start-up.  Compare the power supply voltage with the data indicated on the type plate.

4.2 Connection to a suction plant (optional)

When directly connecting a suction plant the spatial temperature exactitude, the heating-up and the recovering times and the maximum temperature will be negatively influenced. So no suction plant should be directly connected to the exhaust duct.

Active suction from the oven must only be performed together with extraneous air. Perforate the connecting piece to the suction device or place an exhaust funnel at some distance to the exhaust duct.

FP (E1.1) 07/2017 page 16/90

CAUTION

The exhaust duct will become hot during operation. Danger of burning.

∅ Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation.

5. Start up

Having connected the electrical supply (chap. 4.1), turn on the chamber by the main power switch (1).

Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a quality defect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal temperature for one day and in a well-ventilated location.

5.1 Air change

Opening the air flap in the exhaust duct serves to adjust the air change. Without connecting a suction plant:

• If the air flap is open and the fan is operating, fresh air comes in via aeration gaps.

• If the air flap is completely open, the spatial temperature accuracy can be negatively influenced.

5.2 Settings at the RD3 program controller

After turning the chamber on with the main power switch (1) the controller is in Normal Display / fixed value operation mode.

Depending on the temperature value entered before LED (3a) is lit if the heating is active, or no LED if the actual temperature is equal to or above the set-point.

In Display 1 of the controller the actual temperature value is displayed.

Figure 6: RD3 program controller

The program controller RD3 allows programming of temperature cycles. For each program section also the fan speed can be regulated.

Two programs with up to 10 sections each or one program with up to 20 sections can be entered (setting in the user level, chap. 10).

When changing from 2 programs to 1 program or vice-versa, existing programs are deleted

The maximum length of an individual program section can be set to either 99 hs 59 min or to 999 hs 59 min (setting in the user level, chap. 10). This setting is then valid for all program sections.

Programming can be done directly via the controller keyboard or graphically at the computer using the software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 15.1) specially developed by BINDER.

5.3 General indications

The program controller RD3 offers several functional levels:

Normal Display / fixed value operation:

• Display of the actual value of temperature (display 1) and of the actual date and time (display 2).

• The chamber is in fixed value operating mode, adjusting to the entered set-points.

6. Fixed value entry mode

If you do not want to use the week program timer, inactivate it (fact ory setting, setting in the user level, chap. 10) before entering set-points. Any setting of the operation lines in fixed value entry mode is ineffective with active week program timer.

Basic entry principle: Call up the individual parameters with button X/W one after the other. Enter the values with the arrow keys. A value flashing once after 2 seconds indicates that it has been taken over to the controller.

If the fan is operated with less than 100 % speed, the temperature performance and the spatial exactitude of the temperature can differ from the manufacturer’s specificati ons. Do reduce the fan speed only if absolutely necessary due to special requirements.

The values entered in fixed-value entry mode remain valid after program run-off and are then equilibrated.

If the week program timer is active, another set-point (SP2) might be targeted according to programming. Temperatures too high for the introduced solvent quantity can occur. Inactivate the week program timer if you do not use it (default setting, setting in the User level, chap. 10).

CAUTION

Too high or too low temperature. Damage to the charging material.

 Inactivate the week program timer if you do not use it.

7. Week program editor

The Week program editor allows defining up to 4 shift point for each week day. A shift point defines a moment and the switching state ON or OFF of the channels getting active at thi s mom ent.

Channel function:

• Channel 1 On = Set-point 2 is equilibrated.

• Channel 1 Off = Set-point 1 is equilibrated

• Channel 2 = reserve

The week program timer is first set to inactive (factory setting). Thus you need to act i vate the week program timer in the user level (chap. 10).

8.1 Selecting between set-point ramp and set-point step

You can program various kinds of temperature transitions. In the user level (chap. 10) you can select between the settings “Ramp” (default setting) and “Step”.

Setting “Ramp” allows programming all kinds of temperature transitions. With setting “Step” the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures; programmi ng

ramps becomes impossible.

A change between settings “Ramp” and “Step” will influence all programs. This can remarkably change the time courses of existing programs.

8.1.1 Programming with setting “Ramp” (default set t ing)

Set-points always refer to the start of a program section, i.e., at the beginning of each program section, the entered set-point will be reached. During program section operation, the temperature gradually passes to the set-point entered for the following program section.

By appropriate design of the program section timing, all kinds of temperature transitions can be programmed:

• Gradual temperature changes “set-point ramp“

The set-point gradually moves from one set-point to the one of the following program section during a given interval. The actual temperature value (X) follows the continually moving set-point (W) at any moment.

• Program sections with constant temperature

The initial values of two subsequent program sections are identical; therefore the temperature is kept constant during the whole time of the first program section.

• Sudden temperature changes “set-point step”

Steps are temperature changes (ramps) that occur during a very short interval. Two program sections with an identical set-point are followed by a section with a different set-point. If the duration of this transitional program section is very short (minimum entry 1 min), the temperature change will proceed rapidly in the possible minimum time.
