1.6 Intended use
Cooling incubators KB are suitable for exact conditioning of harmless materials. Because of their precise
temperature accuracy these devices are especially useful for cultivation of microorganisms with a narrow
temperature optimum in a range of 4 °C / 39.2°F to 37 °C / 98.6°F. Main fields of application are tests of
long-term storage (e.g. at 4 °C / 39.2°F), refrigerated incubation between 20 °C / 68°F and 25 °C / 77°F
and incubation at 37 °C / 98.6°F (also with additional introduction of heat) or with alternating temperatures
(e.g. 37 °C / 98.6°F and 4 °C / 39.2°F).
A mixture of any component of the charging material with air must NOT be explosive. The operating
temperature must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material. Any
component of the charging material must NOT be able to release toxic gases.
Other applications are not approved.
Cooling incubators KB are not classified as medical devices as defined by the Medical Device
Directive 93/42/EEC.
Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 17.1) are part of the intended use.
DANGER
Explosion or implosion hazard.
Danger of poisoning.
Danger of death.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into
the constant climate chamber.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance which could lead to release of toxic gases.
The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the
machine components made of stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. Such ingredients
include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is
excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continuous
operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples
to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.

2. Unit description
A high level of precision, reliability, and safety for all growth parameters ensures optimum incubation
conditions. Moreover, the KB cooling incubator is designed for maximum usability – even in continuous
operation year after year. It fulfills all technical and application-specific requirements arising in
experimentation such as in the areas of biotechnology, medicine, the nutrition industry, pharmaceutical
and cosmetics industries, botany, and zoology.
Two important temperature technologies have been combined to achieve perfect temperature control. The
specially developed DCT™ refrigerating system, a direct refrigerating process, in conjunction with the
APT.line™ preheating chamber technology, satisfies the unique prerequisites for attaining highly-precise
temperature control and particularly short recovery times after opening the door.
The refrigerating system is distinguished by direct, precise, and rapid temperature conduction. Large-area
labyrinth evaporator plates directly conduct the cold to the atmosphere of the working space.
The APT.line™ preheating chamber system ensures high level of spatial and time-based temperature
precision, thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. This is especially important for
maintaining temperatures – especially with full chambers – and for rapid restoration of optimum growth
conditions after opening the door. The inner glass door ensures that the temperature remains constant
when observing the incubation process. The fan supports exact attainment and maintenance of the
desired temperature accuracy. The fan speed is digitally adjustable. The heating and refrigerating systems
are microprocessor regulated to a tenth of a degree. In addition, the cooling incubator 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.
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, 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.
The cooling incubator KB comes equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer communication,
e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 16.1). For further
options, see chap. 20.5.
The models KB 240, KB 400, and KB 720 are equipped with
locked via the attached brakes.
Temperature range at ambient temperature of 25 °C / 77 °F: -5 °C / 23 °F up to +100 °C / 212 °F

5. Start up
After connecting the electrical supply (chap. 4.1), turn on the unit 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.
WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continuous
operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples
to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.

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” permits programming all kinds of temperature transitions.
With setting “Step” the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures; programming
ramps is no longer possible.
Switching between settings “Ramp” and “Step” will influence all programs. Please note that this
can cause the time courses of existing programs to change significantly.
8.1.1 Programming with setting “Ramp” (default setting)
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 subsequent program section.
You can program all kinds of temperature transitions by the appropriate design of the program section
timing:
•Gradual temperature changes “set-point ramp“
The set-point changes its value gradually while proceeding from one program section to the next one
during the programmed section length. The actual temperature value (X) follows the continually moving
set-point (W) at any time.
•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 within the minimum amount of time.

The values of such a program table can now be entered to the RD3 program controller (chap. 8.2).
The end point of the desired cycle must be programmed with an additional section (in our examples S05
for set-point ramp and S08 for set-point step) with a section time of at least one minute. Otherwise, the
program will stop one section too early because the program line is incomplete.
8.1.2 Programming with setting “step”
With setting “Step” selected, you don’t need to program the transition section in the Program Editor.
With setting “step” the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures; programming
ramps is no longer possible.
The set-points are maintained constant for the duration of a program section. At the start of each program
section, the unit heats up with the maximum speed in order to attain the entered set-point.

8.1.3 General notes on programming of temperature transitions
If the tolerance limits set in the user level (chap. 10) are exceeded, the program is halted until the actual
temperature value returns to within the tolerance range. During this program interruption, the LED (3d)
flashes. Therefore, the duration of the program might be extended due to the programming of tolerances
Programming is saved even in case of a power failure or after turning off the unit.
KB 23: Cooling power decreases when the fan speed is reduced to 20% or below.
After program rundown the controller returns to Fixed value operation showing Normal Display and
equilibrates to the temperature value previously entered in fixed value entry mode.
Before starting the program, check the set-point value entered in Fixed value entry mode.
After program rundown temperature will equilibrate to this value.
Deactivate the week program timer (factory setting, setting in the user level, chap. 10) before
starting a program.
8.2 Set-point entry for program operation
From Normal Display the program editor is accessed by pressing button X/W for 5 sec. Then enter the
set-points one after the other in all program sections of a selected program.
You can enter two programs with up to 10 sections each or one program with up to 20 sections (setting in
the user level, chap. 10).
In order to avoid incorrect programming the values of the program course should be entered into a table
(template in chap. 8.3).

When changing the set-point, check the setting of the safety controller in the user level (chap.
10) if the safety controller has been set to “limit” mode.
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 specifications. The fan speed
rate should only be reduced if absolutely necessary to meet special requirements.

In our example, section S03 has been deleted. If sections S04, S05, etc. have been programmed earlier,
they will now replace the preceding sections, i.e., S04 is now called S03 etc.
Deletion leads to overwriting the section by the following one. It is therefore not possible to temporarily
inactivate a program section. To enter a section later to a program, all the sections following the new one
must be entered again.
EXIT

9. Program start level
Before starting the program, check the set-point entered in Fixed value operation mode. After end of the
program, the temperature will equilibrate to this value.
Too high or too low temperature after the program ends.
Damage to the charging material.
Check the set-point of Fixed value operation and if necessary adapt it.
After the program ends, the temperature will equilibrate to the set-point entered in Fixed value operation
mode. If the week program timer is active, another set-point (SP2) might be targeted according to
programming. Deactivate the week program timer before starting the program (default setting, setting in
the User level, chap. 10).
CAUTION
Too high or too low temperature after the program ends.
Damage to the charging material.
Deactivate the week program timer before starting the program.
In the first step a program is selected. This is on condition that a program has been entered previously
(chap. 8.2) and that program type “2 programs with 10 sections each” has been selected in the user level

• Program delay time, i.e. a defined time before a program starts. It can be entered with a precision of
1 minute, and its maximum value is 99.59 (99 hs 59 min). If the value is 00.00, the program will start
immediately. During the program delay time, all unit functions (heating, refrigeration, and fan) are off.
• Number of program cycles, i.e. the desired number of program repeats. Values from 1 to 99 can be
entered. If the program is not going to be repeated, enter the value “0”. For infinite repeats enter the
value “–1”. The program is repeated as a whole, it is not possible to repeat individual sections.
In the last step the selected program is started. These steps must be carried out subsequently.

10. User level
In this menu the following parameters can be se (in brackets the corresponding abbreviated information
given in display 2):
•Unit address (Address)
Setting of controller address (1 to 254) for operation with the communication software APT-COM™.
•User code (User-cod)
Modification of the user code setting (factory setting “0001”) for access to the user level and the
program editor.
Keep in mind any modification of the user code. Without a valid user code it is no longer
possible to access these levels.
•Safety controller mode (Saf.mode)
The set-point mode can be entered as ...
Limit: Maximally permitted temperature as absolute value (example: temperature set-point 37 °C /
98.6°F, limit setting to 39 °C / 102.2°F)
Offset: Maximally permitted temperature exceeding of the actual set-point temperature (e.g. 2 °C).
This maximally permitted temperature automatically changes with every change of the temperature
set-point.
•Safety controller set-point (Saf.setp)
The temperature set-point setting of the safety controller (over temperature safety device class 3.1) is
shown and can be changed. An absolute value (e.g. 40 °C / 104°F) in case of setting “limit” or a
relative value (e.g. 2 °C) in case of setting “Offset” can be entered.
Regularly check the setting of the set-point mode and of the over temperature safety
device set-point entered in this mode for the temperature value in Fixed value operation or
for the maximum temperature value of the selected temperature program in Program
operation mode.
•Decimal point position (Decimal)
Selection if integer values or one position after the decimal point can be entered. The integer
representation is shown in Display 2 (set-point entry) while the actual value in Display 1 is always
displayed with one decimal point.
• Audio Alert (Buzzer)
Inactive: no audible signal (buzzer) in case of an alarm event.
Active: in case of an alarm event (see chap. 13.2) an audible signal (buzzer) will sound. It can be reset by pressing the “EXIT” button.
• Selection of controller menu language (Language)
German, English, or French can be selected.
•Counter of operating hours (Oper.hs)
Information about the number of operating hours currently reached or since the last reset. (no setting,
display only).
•Max. number of operating hours (Op.limit)
Entry of a limit number of operating hours, i.e., the maximum number of operating hours that can be
run. Maximum setting: 9999. Reaching the limit has no effect.
•Reset operating hours (Op.back)
Reset operating hours to zero.
KB (E3.1 + E5.1) 11/2014 page 44/100
•Interface protocol (Protocol)
“Modbus”: The chamber interface can be used as a communication interface to connect it to a
computer. This serves to control the chamber by the communication software APT-COM™. It is
possible to read and write the values of all parameters.
“Printer”: A protocol printer for data printouts can be connected to the chamber interface. The printer
regularly protocols the actual temperature value with fixed formatting and with adjustable print intervals.
In both cases an interface converter RS 422 / RS 232 is used.
•Print interval (Prt.-Inv.)
Setting of the print interval in minutes. Function is available only if setting “Printer” has been selected in
the previous menu point.
•Display illumination (Disp.LED)
Selection between continuous display illumination and limited illumination that will automatically go off
300 sec after the last entry.
•Program type selection (PrgSelec)
Select between entry of two programs with up to 10 sections each or of one program with up to 20
sections.
When changing from 2 programs to 1 program or vice-versa, existing programs are
deleted in the program editor.
•Maximum section duration (Prg.Time)
The maximum length of an individual program section can be set to either 99 hs 59 min or to 999 hs 59
min. This setting is then valid for all program sections.
When changing the maximum duration setting, pre-existing programs will be deleted in the
program editor.
•Set-point programming type (Setp.sim)
Selection between “Ramp” and “Step”. With setting “Step” selected, you don’t need to program the
transition section in the Program Editor.
If you select setting “step”, the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures;
programming ramps becomes impossible.
A change between settings “ramp” and “step” will influence all programs. Note that
significant change in time courses may arise in existing programs.
•Tolerance limit range (Tol.band)
Entry of a tolerance limit value in °C. Program operation: If the actual value of temperature exceeds the
set-point of a program section by more than the entered tolerance limit value, the program is halted
(LED (3d) flashing) until the actual temperature value is again within the tolerance range.
Entry of “0” means tolerance limits are off.
•Activating or inactivating the week program timer (Prog.Clk)
„Inactive“: The week program timer is switched off (factory setting). The corresponding setting menu
(chap. 7) is not visible, nor is set-point 2 in the Fixed value entry mode (chap. 6).
„Active“: The week program timer is activated.
KB (E3.1 + E5.1) 11/2014 page 45/100
When deactivating the week program timer, any programming made in advance will
remain in memory and take effect when the week program timer is activated again.
Deactivate the week program timer before entering set-points in fixed value entry mode
(chap. 6). Otherwise, any setting of the operation lines is ineffective.
Deactivate the week program timer before staring a program (chap. 9).

12.1 Desired time function
From Monday to Friday the chamber shall maintain a temperature of +20 °C / 68°F, and during the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) a temperature of +5 °C / 41°F.
This program shall automatically run during the whole year, i.e. it shall be programmed just once.
12.2 Proceeding overview
1. Settings in the user level (see chap. 10)
• Setting the safety controller to “Limit” and 3 °C above the maximum temperature value of the
program
The temperature set-point of the safety controller (over temperature protection class 3.1) is displayed
and can be changed. You can enter an absolute value in case of setting “limit”, or a relative value in
case of setting “Offset”. Select setting “Limit” and enter a value by 3 °C above the maximum value (i.e.,
23 °C / 73.4°F).
•Setting the maximum section duration (Prg. Time) to 999 hs. 59 min.
The maximum length of a program section can be set – in common for all program sections – to 99 hs
59 min or to 999 hs 59 min. Select setting 999:59.
When changing the maximum duration setting, pre-existing programs will be deleted in
the program editor.
•Switching off the tolerance limits function
Select setting “0” meaning tolerance limits off. Thus an interruption of the program course during the
heating-up or cooling-down phases during the rapid “set-point step” phase is avoided.
•Deactivating the week program timer
Deactivate the week program timer before entering a program (factory setting). Otherwise, any setting
of the operation lines in the program editor is ineffective.
2. Entering the time program to the program editor

3. Set the number of cycles to infinite in the program start level and start the program
The described example program must be started once at the precise moment of temperature
change (on Monday e.g., at 0.01 or at 7.00). If the program cannot be manually started at the
desired moment, you can program a suitable program delay-time of 99 hs. 59 min. max. After
rundown of this delay time, the program will start automatically (chap. 9).
12.3 Proceeding in detail
1. Settings in the user level:
• Setting the safety controller to “Limit” and 3 °C above the maximum temperature value of the
program
The temperature set-point of the safety controller (over temperature protection class 3.1) is shown and
can be changed. An absolute value in case of setting “limit”, or a relative value in case of setting
“Offset” can be entered Select setting “Limit” and enter a value, which is by 3 °C above the maximum
value (i.e., 23 °C / 73.4°F).
•Setting the maximum section duration (Prg. Time) to 999 hs. 59 min.
The maximum length of a program section can be set – in common for all program sections – to 99 hs
59 min or to 999 hs 59 min. Select setting 999:59.
When changing the maximum duration setting, pre-existing programs will be deleted in
the program editor.
•Switching off the tolerance limits function
Select setting “0” meaning tolerance limits off. Thus an interruption of the program course during the
heating-up or cooling-down phases during the rapid “set-point step” phase is avoided.
•Deactivating the week program timer
Deactivate the week program timer before entering a program (factory setting). Otherwise, any setting

14. Temperature safety devices
14.1 Over temperature protective device (class 1)
The cooling incubator is equipped with an internal temperature safety device class 1 acc. to DIN 12880. It
serves to protect the unit and prevents dangerous conditions caused by major defects.
If a temperature of about 110 °C / 230°F is reached, the over temperature protective device permanently
turns off the unit. The user cannot restart the device again. The protective cut-off device is located
internally. Only a service specialist can replace it. Therefore, please contact an authorized service provider
or BINDER Service.
14.2 Safety controller (temperature safety device class 3.1)
The cooling incubator is equipped with an electronic safety controller (over temperature safety device
class 3.1 acc. to DIN 12880). This second, electrically independent temperature controller takes over at a
selectable set point in case of a faulty condition. It serves to protect the charging material against
extremely high temperatures.
The safety controller serves to protect the cooling incubator, its environment and the material under
treatment from excess temperatures. In case of error the temperature of the inner chamber will be limited
to the set value. Please observe the guideline BGI/GUV-I 850-0 on safe working in laboratories (formerly
BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119 laboratory guidelines issued by the employers’ liability insurance
association) (for Germany.
The message “TEMP. LIMIT” on the controller Display 2 indicates safety controller activity. If the buzzer
has been activated in the User Level (chap. 10), there is an audible alert. The safety controller controls the
chamber to the entered safety controller set-point until the temperature inside the chamber returns below
this temperature and until you then reset the alarm message with the EXIT button.
The safety controller set-point type and set-point can be set in the user level (chap. 10) of the program
controller.

Limit value (safety controller set-point) set to 42 °C.
Maximum over temperature above the active temperature set point. The maximum
temperature changes internally and automatically with every set-point change it.
Example:
Temperature set-point 40 °C / 104 °F
Offset value (safety controller set-point) set to 2 °C.
Regularly check the safety controller setting for set-point type “Limit” or “Offset”
• in Fixed value operation mode according to the entered set-point temperature value
• in Program mode according to the highest temperature value of the selected temperature
program
Set the safety controller set-point by approx. 2 °C to 5 °C above the desired temperature setpoint.
14.3 Temperature safety device class 3.3 (option)
With the option over/under temperature protective device (temperature safety device class 3.3 acc. to DIN
12880) the unit is equipped with two additional safety devices (class 3.1 and class 3.2). The combination
of the safety devices is regarded as a safety device class 3.3.
The temperature safety device, class 3.3, serves to protect the cooling incubator, its environment and the
contents from exceeding the maximum permissible temperature. Please observe the guideline BGI/GUV-I
850-0 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119 laboratory guidelines issued
by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Germany).
With safety device class 3.1 a maximum value for the temperature is set that the unit will not exceed due
to the regulatory function of the safety device class 3.1. This protection against excessively high
temperatures can, for example, serve to protect the cooling incubator, its environment and the material
under treatment from excess temperatures.
With safety device class 3.2 a minimum value for the temperature is set that the unit will not fall below
due to the regulatory function of the safety device class 3.2. This protection against excessively low
temperatures can, for example, serve to protect sensitive loads from under cooling.
The combination of the safety devices class 3.1 and class 3.2 is regarded as a safety device class 3.3.
The safety devices class 3.3 are functionally and electrically independent of the temperature control
system. If an error occurs, they perform a regulatory function.

14.3.1 Temperature safety device class 3.1
If you turn the control knob (11) to its end-stop (position 10), the safety device class 3.1 protects the
appliance. If you set the temperature a little above the set-point, it protects the charging material.
If the safety device class 3.1 has taken over control, identifiable by its red alarm lamp lighting up, with KB
(E5.1) also by the message “TEMP ALARM” on the controller display, and the buzzer, then proceed as
follows:
• Mute the buzzer with the EXIT button (KB (E5.1) only).
• Disconnect the unit from the power supply.
• Have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.
• Start the unit again as described in chap. 5.
Setting:
To check the response temperature of the safety device class 3.1, turn on the chamber and set the
desired set point at the temperature controller.
The sections of the scale from 1 to 10 correspond to the temperature range from 0 °C / 32°F to 120 °C /

• The trip point is identifiable by the red alarm lamp lighting up; with KB (E5.1)
in addition the buzzer sounds, and the message “TEMP ALARM” is shown in
Display 2.
• The optimum setting for the safety device is obtained by turning the control
knob clockwise by approximately two scale divisions, which shuts off the red
alarm lamp.
Figure 16: Setting safety device class 3.1
Check the setting regularly and adjust it following changes of the set-point or charge.
It is still possible to set the safety controller (chap. 14.2) via the controller menu. In case
different values are set via the menu and via the control knob, the one that will be reached the
first is the valid one. The additional setting of the safety device class 3.1 via the control knob
provides additional security because it ensures turning off the unit in case of temperature
exceeding independently from the controller.
Function check:
Check the temperature safety device class 3.1 at appropriate intervals for its functionality. It is
recommended that the authorized operating personnel should perform such a check, e.g., before starting
a longer work procedure.

14.3.2 Temperature safety device class 3.2
The safety device class 3.2 is equivalently set to a minimum temperature the unit will not fall below. This
protection against prohibited low temperatures can, for example, serve to protect sensitive cultures from
cooling down too much.
If the control knob (12) is turned to its minimum (position 1), the safety device class 3.2 has no effect. If it
is set to a temperature somewhat lower than that selected by means of the controller, it functions as a
protective device for the material under treatment.
If the temperature safety device class 3.2 has assumed regulation, identifiable by its red alarm lamp
lighting up, with KB (E5.1) also by the message “TEMP ALARM” on the controller display, and the buzzer,
then proceed as follows:
• Mute the buzzer with the EXIT button (KB (E5.1) only).

15. Defrosting during refrigerating operation
BINDER cooling incubators are very diffusion-proof. To ensure high temperature precision there is no
automatic cyclic defrosting device. The DCT™ refrigerating system largely avoids icing of the evaporation
plates. However, at very low temperatures the moisture in the air can condense on the evaporator plates
leading to icing.
Always close the door properly.
•Operation with temperature set-points above +5 °C / 41 °F at an ambient temperature of 25 °C /
77 °F:
The air defrosts the ice cover automatically. Defrosting is continually performed.
•Operation with temperature set-points below +5 °C / 41 °F:
Icing on the evaporator is possible. Defrost the unit manually.
With temperature set-points < +5 °C / 41 °F, regularly defrost the unit manually:
• Set the temperature to 40 °C / 104 °F (in Fixed value entry mode)
• Let the unit operate for about 30 minutes with the door closed.
Excessive frosting of the evaporator is indicated by reduced refrigerating performance.
KB 23: Cooling power decreases when the fan speed is reduced to 20% or below.
•Operation with temperature set-points below 0 °C / 32 °F (KB from size 53 on):
While operating the KB with set-points below < 0 °C / 32°F condensation is possible at the inner
surface of the door around the door gasket.
In case of heavy condensation, check tightness of the door gasket.
After one or two days operation at a set-point < 0 °C / 32 °F a thin ice layer can cover the inner unit
door and the glass door. The amount depends of the ambient temperature and humidity. This does not
influence the proper function of the refrigerating system.
Refrigerating performance decreases while operating the chamber at temperatures < 0 °C
/ 32 °F due to icing of the evaporators. For this reason defrost the chamber regularly, e.g.
once a week.

With every decontamination method, always use adequate personal safety controls.
In case of contamination of the interior by biologically or chemically hazardous material, there are two
possible procedures depending on the type of contamination and charging material.
(1) Spray the inner chamber with an appropriate disinfectant.
Before start-up, the unit must be absolutely dry and ventilated, as explosive gases may form during
the decontamination process.
(2) If necessary, have strongly contaminated inner chamber parts removed by an engineer for cleaning,
or have them exchanged. Sterilize the inner chamber parts in a sterilizer or autoclave.
In case of eye contact, the disinfectant spray may cause eye damage due to chemical
burns. Follow the operating instructions and safety hints labeled on the bottle of the
disinfectant spray.
Recommended precautions: To protect the eyes use sealed protective goggles.
CAUTION
Eye contact.
Eye damage due to chemical burns.
∅ Do NOT empty into drains.
Wear protective goggles.
After using the disinfectant spray, allow the unit to dry thoroughly, and aerate it sufficiently.

20. Technical description
20.1 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.
20.2 Over current protection
All chambers except KB 720-UL are protected by a unit-protection against over current, accessible from
the outside. It 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 5mm x 20 mm (cUL-Version 6.3 x32 mm). Replace this fuse only with a
substitute of the same ratings. Refer to the technical data of the respective device type. If this fuse is
blown, please inform an electronic engineer or BINDER service.
KB 720-UL is equipped with an internal fuse not accessible from outside. If this fuse is blown, please
contact an electronic engineer or BINDER Service.
20.3 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 separation
a = 0.1*A
b = 0.1*B
c = 0.1*C
V
= (A - 2 * a) * (B - 2 * b) * (C - 2 * c)
USE
Figure 24: Determination of the usable 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 and humidity.

1) Lower values are valid up to an ambient temperature of max. 25 °C / 77°F.
2) to 98% of the set-point
3) Use these values for sizing air condition systems
All technical data is specified for unloaded units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of
+25 °C / 77°F and a power supply voltage fluctuation of +/-10%. The temperature data is determined in
accordance to BINDER factory standard following DIN 12880, observing the recommended wall
clearances of 10 % of the height, width, and depth of the inner chamber. Technical data refers to 100%
fan speed.
All indications are average values, typical for units produced in series. We reserve the right to
change technical specifications at any time.
Refrigerating performance decreases while operating the chamber at temperatures < 0 °C /
32°F due to icing of the evaporators. For this reason defrost the chamber regularly, e.g. once a
week.
If the chamber is fully loaded, the specified heating up and cooling down times may vary
according to the load.
