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.

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.

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.

5.1 Settings at the RD3 program controller

After turning the unit 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 LED (3b) if the refrigeration is active, or no LED if the actual temperature is equal to the set-point.

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 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).

If all sections up to S10 or up to S20 have been programmed, section S01 follows again. In order to quit the entry mode, press the EXIT button several times or wait 120 sec → the controller will then return to Normal Display.
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.

If you delete a program section which is followed by further sections, those following move up in place of the deleted section.
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
or wait 120 sec

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 (chap. 10).

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. Programming example of the Program Editor

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.

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

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.

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 / 248°F and serve as a setting aid.

When the set point is reached, turn back the control knob until its trip point (turn it counter-clockwise).
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).
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 3.2, put the unit into operation and set the desired set point at the temperature controller.

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.

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.
