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.

In case of foreseeable use of the chamber there is no risk for the user through the integration of the
chamber into systems or by special environmental or operating conditions in the sense of EN 61010­1:2010. For this, the intended use of the chamber and all its connections must be observed.

1.7 Operating instructions

Depending on the application a nd locati on of the cham ber, the op erator of the cham ber mus t provide th e
relevant information for safe operation of the chamber in a set of operating instructions.

Keep these operating instructions with the chamber at all times in a plac e wher e the y are
clearly visible. They must be comprehensible and written in the language of the employees.

KB (E4 + E6) 02/2017 page 12/148

1.8 Measures to prevent accidents

The operator of the chamber must observe the following rule: “Betreiben von Arbeitsmitteln. Betreiben
von Kälteanlagen, W ärmepumpen und Kühleinrichtungen“ (Operation of work equipment. Operation of
refrigeration systems, heat pumps and refrigeration equipment) (GUV-R 500 chap. 2.35) (for Germany).

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 chamber.

• Overtemperature monitoring
The chamber is equipped with a temperature display, which can be read from outside.
The chamber is equipped with an add ition al safet y control ler (tem perat ure saf ety devic e class 3.1 acc.

to DIN 12880:2007). Visual and audible (buzzer) signals indicate temperature exceeding.

• Safety, measurement, and control equipment
The safety, measuring, and control equipment is easily accessible.

• Electrostatic charge
The interior parts are grounded.

• Non-ionizing radiation
Non-ionizing radiatio n is not intentionally produced, but released only for tec hnical reasons by electr i-

cal equipment (e.g. electric motors, power cab les, solenoids). The m achine has no permanent m ag­nets. If persons with ac tive im plants (e.g . pac em akers , defibrill ators) keep a saf e dis tance (dist ance of
field source to implant) of 30 cm, an influence of these implants can be excluded with high probability.

• Protection against touchable surfaces
Tested according to EN ISO 13732-1:2008.

• Floors
See operating manual chap. 3.4 for correct installation

• Cleaning
See operating manual chap. 20.2.

• Examinations
The chamber has been inspected by the “Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung e.V. (DGUV)

(German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV)” (German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), Testing
and Certification Body for Foodstuffs and Packaging Industry in DGUV Test) and bears the GS mark.

2. Chamber description

A high level of precision, reliabi lit y, and safet y for all gro wth param eters ens ures optim um incubation c on­ditions. Moreover, the KB c ooling inc ubat or is d esigne d for max imum us abilit y – 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 cha mber technolog y, satisfies the unique prerequis ites for attaining highly-precise
temperature control and particularly short recovery times after opening the door.

The refrigerating system is distinguished by direct, pre cis e, and rap id temperature conduction. Larg e-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 distrib uted air circulatio n into the interior. Thi s is especially im portant
for maintaining temperatures – especially with full chambers – and for rapid restoration of optimum growth
conditions after openi ng the door. The inner glass d oor ensures that the tem perature remains constant
when observing the incub ation process. The fan supp orts exact attainment and maintenance of the de­sired temperature accur acy. The fan speed is dig itally adjustable. T he heating and refriger ating systems
are microprocess or regulated to a tent h of a degree. I n addition, the chamber provides alm ost unlimited
possibilities for adaptat ion to individual customer requir ements based upon extensive progr amming op­tions and on the week program timer and real time clock of the controller.

The KB 240 / 400 / 720 (E6) chambers are equipped with a door heating.
All chamber functions are eas y and comfortable to use thank s to their cle ar arrangem ent. Major featur es

are easy cleaning of all chamber parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
The inner chamber , the pre-heating cham ber and the interior si de of the doors are al l 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 chamber comes equipped with an Ethern et interface for computer comm unication, e.g. via the com­munication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 19.1). For further options, see
chap. 23.5.

The KB 240 / 400 / 720 (E 6) chambers are equipped with
locked via the attached brakes.

You can enter the desired set point values in “fixed value” mode (chap. 7.5). The controller then operates
as a fixed-point control, i.e., it reaches and maintains the defined temperature set-point until the next
manual change.

The T4.12 program controller als o permits runnin g a time program (chap. 9) or a week program (chap.

10). You can program temperature cycles and def ine also the fan spee d for each program sec tion. The
controller offers 52 tim e program places with u p to 100 sections e ach. The week program mode off ers 8
week program places with up to 30 shift points for each week program.

During a power failure, all c ontrol ler f unc tio ns are s hut do wn. T he opt ion al zero-voltage relay alarm output
(chap. 19.5) is switched to alarm position for the whole duration of the power failure.

After the power ret urns, all functions return to the same status the c hamber had before po wer failure. .
The controller continues to function in the original op erating mode it was in pre viously before the power
failure occurred.

• Performance after power failure in “fixed value” operation mode

All functions return to the s ame status the chamber had before power failure. The set-points are im­mediately resumed.

• Performance after power failure during time program operation

The program is res umed at the point where the interruption occurred with t he latest set-points reac h ed
during the program run.

• Performance after power failure during week program operation

The week program continues with the values corresponding to the current time.
In the “Control off” controller mode, no program can be started.
If the temperature has dropped below the alarm limit during power failure, confirm the alarm with the

RESET button as soon as the correct values are reached again (chap. 14.4).
In the Event List (chap. 15) the message “Po wer suppl y was int err upte d.“ is shown.

Sections 2 and 3 will be executed in total 31 times; only then will the program continue.

9.3.5 Tolerance range

You can specify a tolerance range f or each program section with dif ferent values for the toleranc e mini­mum and maximum . W hen the actua l val ue excee ds t he given t hres hold, the pro gram is inter rupted. T his
is indicated on the displ ay, see chap. 9.4. When the actual tem perature is situated again within the en­tered tolerance lim its, the program automaticall y continues. Therefore, the duration of the program m ay
be extended due to the programming of tolerances.

Programming of tolerances may extend program duration.

An entry of “-999” for the tolerance minimum means “minus infinite” and an entry of “999” for the tolerance
maximum means “plus infinite”. Entry of these values will never lead to program interruption.

When requesting a rapid temperature transition, we recommend not programming tolerance values in
order to enable the maximum heating-up or cooling-down speed.

Start with the minimum value:

9.3.6 Set-point ramp and set-point step modes

“Ramp” mode

The set-point of a gi ven pr o gram section functions as t he s ect ion’s s t art temperature. During the s ectio n’s
duration, the temper ature set-point gradually passes t o the set-point of the subseque nt program sec tion.
The actual temperature val ue follows the continuall y changing set-point. If the la st program section is in
“ramp” mode, then you must program an additional sec tion to provide th e target tem perature. Otherwise ,
the corresponding section would be incomplete, i.e., the program would stop one section too early.

Programming in the “ramp” mode allows various kinds of temperature transitions:

• Gradual slow temperature changes

The set-point changes its v alue gradually durin g the entered secti on duration. The ac tual temperatur e

value (X) follows the continually moving set-point (W) at any time.

• Constant temperature

The initial values of two s ubsequent progr am sections ar e identical; so t he temperature r emains con-

stant during the duration of the first program section.

• Sudden temperature changes

These changes occur rapidly within the minimum amount of time (minimum entry: 1 second).

“Step” mode

The set-point of an y program section functions as the section’s target temperature. At the start of the
program section, the chamber heats up or cools down with the m aximum speed to reach the entered
value; and then it holds it f or the remaining sec tion time. The set -point temperatur e remains constant f or
the section’s duration.

running week program , the temperature of the curr ently active shift point is m aintained until the m oment
of the next active shift point with its new temperature set-point.

Example:

1 35.00 Monday 08:00:00 Active
2 40.00 Monday 10:00:00 Active
3 35.00 Monday 18:00:00 Active
4 10.00 Monday 20:00:00 Active
5 35.00 Tuesday 08:00:00 Active
