1.5 General safety instructions on installing and operating the chambers

With regard to operating the chambers and to the installation location, please observe the DGUV guide­lines 213-850 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGI/GUV-I 850-0, BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119, issued by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Germany.
BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the chamber provided skilled electricians or qualified personnel authorized by BINDER perform all maintenance and repair, and if components relat­ing to chamber safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts.
To operate the chamber, use only original BINDER accessories or accessories from third-party suppliers authorized by BINDER. The user is responsible for any risk caused by using unauthorized accessories.
CAUTION
Danger of overheating. Damage to the chamber.
∅ Do NOT install the chamber in unventilated recesses.
Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
Do not operate the chambers in hazardous locations.
DANGER
Explosion hazard. Danger of death.
∅ Do NOT operate the chamber in potentially explosiv e areas. ∅ KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the chamber.
The chambers do not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion hazard. Danger of death.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance into the chamber which is combustible or
working temperature.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the i nner chamber.
Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable. I.e., irrespective of the solvent concentration in the steam room, NO explosive mixture with air must form. The temperature inside the chamber must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material. Familiarize yourself with the physical and chemical properties of the charging material, as well as the contained moisture constituent and its behavior with the addition of heat energy and hum i dity.
Familiarize yourself with any potential health risks caused by the charging material, the contained mois­ture constituent or by reaction products that may arise during the temperature process. Take adequate measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the chamber into operation.
DANGER
Electrical hazard. Danger of death.
∅ The chamber must NOT become wet during operation or maintenance.
KBF-S (E6) 08/2018 page 10/88
Page 11
The chambers were produced in accordance with VDE regulations and were routinely tested in accord­ance to VDE 0411-1 (IEC 61010-1).
During and shortly after operation, the temperature of the inner surfaces almost equals the set-point.
CAUTION
The inner chamber will become hot during operation. Danger of burning.
∅ Do NOT touch the inner surfaces or the charging material during operation.
WARNING
Stability hazard. Danger of injury. Damage to the chamber and the charging material. Housing cover breakaway.
∅ Do NOT climb on the lower housing cover. ∅ Do NOT load the lower housing cover and the door with heavy objects while the cham-
ber door is open.

1.6 Intended use

Constant climate chambers series KBF-S are suitable for exact conditioning of harmless materials. 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. The chambers 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. 21) 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 chamber, in particular no energy sources such as batteries or lithium-ion batteries.
∅ 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.
KBF-S (E6) 08/2018 page 11/88
Page 12
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 and location of the chamber, the operator of the chamber must provide the 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 place where they are clearly visible. They must be comprehensible and written in the language of the employees.

1.8 Measures to prevent accidents

The operator of the chamber must observe the following rule: “Betreiben von Arbeitsmitteln. Betreiben von Kälteanlagen, Wärmepumpen 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 additional safety controller (temperature safety device 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 radiation is not intentionally produced, but released only for technical reasons by electri­cal equipment (e.g. electric motors, power cables, solenoids). The machine has no permanent mag­nets. If persons with active implants (e.g. pacemakers, defibrillators) keep a safe distance (distance of field source to implant) of 30 cm, an influence of these implants can be excluded with high probabil i ty.
• 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. 21.3.

1.9 Resistance of the humidity sensor against harmful substances

The following list of harmful substances refers only to the humidity sensor and does not include any other materials incorporated in the chamber or prohibited substances in relation to explosion protection.
Some gases - especially clean gases - do not have any influence on the humidity sensor. Others do have a very small influence, whereas others may influence the sensor to a larger extent.
• The following gases do not influence the sensor and the humidity measurement: Argon (Ar), carbon
dioxide (CO
• The following gases do not or to a minor extent influence the sensor and the humidity measurement:
Butane (C
• The following gases do not, or to a minor extent influence the sensor and the humidity measurement,
provided that the indicated loads are not exceeded:
),helium (He), hydrogen (H2), neon (Ne), nitrogen (N2), nitrous oxide (N2O), oxygen (O2)
2
), ethane (C2H6), methane (CH4), natural gas propane (C3H8)
4H10
These values are to be considered as approximate values. The sensor resistance largely depends on the temperature and humidity conditions during the time of exposure to harmful substances. Avoid simultaneous condensation. Tolerated error of measurement: ± 2 %r.H. The maximum work place threshold limit value is one that can be regarded as harmless for humans.
• Vapors of oil and fat are dangerous for the sensor because they may condensate at the sensor and
thus prevent its function (insulating layer). For similar reasons it is not possible to measure smoke gases.

2. Chamber description

The constant climate chambers KBF-S ar e equipped with a multifunctional microprocessor display con­troller with 2-channel technology for temperature and humidity plus a digital display accurate to one-tenth of a degree resp. 0.1% r.h.
With its microprocessor controlled humidifying and dehumidifying system the KBF-S is a high-precision constant climate chamber.
The KBF-S meets the “Long term testing” and “Accelerated testing” requirements for climatic chambers acc. to ICH guideline CPMP/ICH/2736/99 (Q1A).
Furthermore, it permits simulating exactly and over long periods constant conditions for other applications such as sample conditioning for material testing of paper, textiles, plastics, building material s, etc.
Freshwater is supplied by manually filling a freshwater can which shall be placed inside the supplied standard water can support. In addition a magnetic support adjustable in height is optionally availabl e.
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.
A resistance humidifying system humidifies the air. For this purpose, use deionized (demineralized) wa­ter. The option BINDER Pure Aqua Service allows using the chamber with any degree of water hardness.
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.
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 efficient RD4 chamber controller is equipped with a multitude of operating functions, in addition to recorder and alarm functions. Set-point entry is easily accomplished directly via the chamber controller and is also possible directly with a computer via Intranet in connection with the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 20.1). The constant climate chamber comes equipped with an Ethernet serial interface for computer communication and with a USB interface. In addition, the BINDER communication software APT-COM™ 3 permits networking up to 40 chambers and connecting them to a PC for controlling and programming, as well as recording and representing temperature and humidity data. For further options, see chap.24.5.
The chambers size 240 and 720 are equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be easily locked via the attached brakes.
Temperature range: 0 °C / 32 °F up to 70 °C / 158 °F, humidity range: 10% r.h. to 80% r.h. For the control ranges of temperature and humidity, see climatic diagrams (chap. 18).

4. Installation and connections

4.1 Water supply

Freshwater is supplied by manually filling a freshwater can. It is not possible to connect the chamber directly to a water pipe.
The freshwater can has a volume of 10 liters / 0.36 cu.ft. and will be placed inside a water can support.
To guarantee humidification during 24 hours even at high humidity set-points, we recommend filling the freshwater can daily at the end of the day.
When the freshwater can is empty, the message “Freshwater supply” will be displayed on the controller (chap. 13.1), the buzzer sounds, and the humidification module turns off. After acknowledging the alarm, the humidification module tries to fill up and start operating.
Emerging condensation water is collected in a collection pan below the chamber.
Regularly check the filling level of the condensate collection pan. into the inner chamber may increase wastewater production.
Water consumption: The maximum is 1 liter per day. At 40 °C and 75 % r.h. without door opening: ap­prox. 100 ml per day.

5.2 Performance during and after power failures

During a power failure, all controller functions are shut down. After the power returns, all functions return to the same status the chamber had before power failure. The
set-points are immediately resumed. If during power failure an alarm has occurred (tolerance range, safety controller etc.), confirm the alarm.
See chap. 13.

6. Start up

After connecting the power supply and filling the freshwater can, turn on the chamber by its main power switch (1). The lit pilot lamp shows the chamber is ready for operation.
The controller shows normal display and controls temperature and humidity to the last entered values. For operation with humidity, the humidifying and dehumidifying system m ust be act ivated (chap. 8). For operation with humidity:
• Activate the humidifying and dehumidifying system (chap. 8).
• Open the freshwater can tap (chap. 4.1.3)
• Do not firmly close the lid of the freshwater can to allow air to enter the freshwater can. As a result,
obstruction of the water supply due to negative pressure inside the can is avoided.
After the first turning on of the chamber or after an interruption of the power supply the relative humidity will increase after a delay of about 20 minutes. During this period, the relative humidity can drop consid­erably.
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.
If the function “Language selection at restart” has been activated (chap. 11.5, factory setting ON), the following settings are checked upon start up:
• Menu language (chap. 11.1): Use the arrow buttons to select the desired language, confirm with the OK button

10. Temperature safety devices

10.1 Over temperature protective device (class 1)

The chamber is equipped with an internal temperature safety device, class 1 acc. to DIN 12880:2007. It serves to protect the chamber and prevents dangerous conditions caused by major defects.
If a temperature of approx. 110 °C / 230 °F is reached, the over temperature protective device perma­nently turns off the chamber. 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.

10.2 Overtemperature safety controller class 3.1

The chambers are regularly equipped with an electronic overtemperature safety controller (temperature safety device class 3.1 according to DIN 12880:2007). The safety controller is independent of the tem­perature control system. If an error occurs, it performs a regulatory function.
Please observe the DGUV guidelines 213-850 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGI/GUV-I 850­0, BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119, issued by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Germany).
The overtemperature safety controller serves to protect the chamber, its environment and the contents from exceeding the maximum permissible temperature. In the case of an error, it limits the temperature inside the chamber to the entered safety controller value. This condition (state of alarm) is indicated visu­ally and additionally with an audible alert if the buzzer is enabled (chap. 13.2). The alarm persists until the chamber cools down below the configured safety controller value and the alarm is reset on the controller.
Check the setting regularly and adjust it following changes of the temperature set-point or charge.
The safety controller only activates after the set-point has been reached once.
You can set the safety controller mode to “Limit” or “Offset”.
• Limit: Limit value, absolute maximum permitted temperature value This setting offers high safety as a defined temperature limit will not be exceeded. It is important to
adapt the safety controller value after each modification of the temperature set-point. Otherwise, the limit could be too high to ensure efficient protection, or, in the opposite case, it could prevent the con­troller from reaching an entered set-point outside the limit range.
• Offset: Offset value, maximum overtemperature above any active temperature set point. The resulting maximum temperature changes internally and automatically with every temperature set-point change.

10.2.3 Message and measures in the state of alarm

The state of alarm is indicated visually in Normal display. If the buzzer is enabled (chap. 13.2) there is an additional audible alert. The heating turns off. As soon as the inner chamber temperature has cooled down below the safety controller value, the heating is released and temperature control continues.
In Normal display a text message indicates the alarm cause. The “collective alarm” icon is lit. If the audi­ble arm is activated, the buzzer sounds. Press the OK button to mute the buzzer.
The alarm message “Safety controller” and the “Collective alarm” icon are displayed on the controller until you press the OK button on the controller and the inner chamber temperature has cooled down below the safety controller value.
• If the inner chamber temperature has already cooled down below the safety controller value when pressing the OK button, the alarm message “Safety controller” and the “Collective alarm” icon are re­set together with the buzzer.
• If the state of alarm is still active when pressing the OK button, i.e. the inner chamber temperature is still above the safety controller value, first only the buzzer is reset. The alarm message “Safety control­ler” and the “Collective alarm” icon will disappear as soon as the inner chamber temperature falls be­low the safety controller value.
The alarm remains active until it is acknowledged on the controller and the inner temperature falls below the entered safety controller setpoint. Then the heating is released again.

Note:
When the safety controller class 3.1 had been activated you should disconnect the chamber from the power supply and have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.

10.2.4 Function check

Check the safety controller 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.

17. Self-test function

The self-test function enables an automated check of the proper chamber functioning as well as a target­ed and reliable fault analysis. In this case, the chamber successively undergoes various defined operat­ing states, which serves to determine reproducible characteristic values. These characteristic values pro­vide information on the performance and precision of the individual functional systems of the chamber (e.g., heating, refrigeration, humidification) of the chamber.
The results of the self-test are stored in the service recorder of the controller. You can export them using the controller’s USB interface and send them to BINDER Service (use function “Export recorder” to USB stick, chap. 16). BINDER Service will evaluate the data using an analyzing tool.
In order to allow an optimum comparison of the determined characteristic values with the reference characteristic values, the ambient temperature should be in the range of +22 °C +/­ 3 °C / 71.6 °F +/- 5.4 °F.
The chamber shall be unloaded (empty with standard equipment).

18. Humidification / dehumidification system

The chamber is equipped with a capacitive humidity sensor. This results in a control accuracy of up to +/­3 % r.h. of the set point. The temperature-humidity diagrams (Figure 18) show the possible working rang­es for humidity.
You can turn humidity control (humidification and dehumidification) on or off with the function “Humidity off” (chap. 8).
With humidity control turned off, the humidification module cools down. After activation it will take up to 10 minutes until the humidification function is fully available again. This setting is required when operating the chamber without a water connection in order to avoid humidity alarms.
The preset temperature and humidity values should be situated within the optimum range (hatched range in Figure 18).Only within this area will the chamber not be exposed to exces­sive moisture due to condensation.
In the short-term set points outside the optimum range can also be targeted. The control accu­racies of +/- 3 % r.h., however, cannot be guaranteed in this case.

for a long period.
Dry the appliance completely before shut-down:
• Set the humidity to 0 % r.h. The humidity system must be activated.
• Set the temperature set point to 60 °C / 140 °F for approx. 2 hours.
• Only then, shut down the chamber at the main power switch (1)
freshwater can.
Having turned off the chamber by the main power switch (1), empty the freshwater can.
If you operate the chamber at high humidity and then immediately turn off the chamber, the condensate collection pan may overflow due to the condensate. This may lead to the emergence of water at the chamber.
Regularly check the filling level of the condensate collection pan.

18.1 Function of the humidifying and dehumidifying system

Humidifying system
The humidifying and dehumidifying system is located in the humidity generation module. In a cylindrical container with a volume of approx. 0,07 liters an electrical resistance heating evaporates water. The wa­ter content is kept close to the boiling point, and thus steam can be immediately generated in sufficient quantity for rapid humidity increases or for compensation of humidity losses, e.g. by door openings. Con­densation forming on the outer walls of the useable volume is led through a water drain in the outer chamber to the wastewater pipe.
Freshwater
Freshwater is supplied by manually filling a freshwater can. The freshwater can be placed on top of the chamber or in an optionally available magnetic support.
In order to ensure accurate humidifying, observe the following points with regard to the freshwater supply:
• Water type: deionized (demineralized) water
• To ensure humidification during 24 hours even at high humidity set-points, we recomm
filling the freshwater can at the end of each day.
• Water intake temperature NOT below +5 °C / 41 °F and not exceeding 40 °C / 104 °F.
BINDER GmbH is NOT responsible for the water quality provided by the customer. Any problems and malfunctions that might arise following use of water of deviati ng qual i ty is
excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
KBF-S (E6) 08/2018 page 58/88
Page 59
The humidity system is functional only if the water can is sufficiently filled. Check the filling level daily. The water reserve in the can is sufficient for a period, which may last between one and several days, depending on the humidity demand (entered humidity set-point and number of door openings).
Wastewater / condensate
The condensation water from the interior is led into the condensate collection pan. For its installation see chap. 4.2.1.
Dehumidifying system
When the humidity system is activated, the chamber dehumidifies as needed in order to reach the en­tered humidity set-point inside the control range of temperature and relative humidit y (Figure 18).
Dehumidification occurs in case of need by means of defined dew point undershoot by the evaporator of the refrigeration system. The condensate which forms is carried away as wastewater.
If the humidity system is turned off while there are descending temperature curves, then operation of the refrigeration system may cause dehumidification of the charging material.
For error indications concerning water supply and humidity system, see chap. 13.1 and 23.

19. Defrosting at refrigerating operation

BINDER constant climate chambers 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 chamber manually.
With temperature set-points below +5 °C / 41 °F, regularly defrost the chamber manually:
• Set the humidity to 0 % r.h. The humidity system must be activated.
• Set the temperature to 40 °C / 104 °F.
• Let the chamber operate for about 30 minutes with the door closed.
Too much ice on the evaporator is noticeable by reduced refrigerating performance.

24. Technical description

24.1 Factory calibration and adjustment

The chambers were 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 a constituent part of the BINDER QM DIN EN ISO 9001 systems. They are controlled and calibrated to a DKD-Standard at regular intervals.
Repeated calibrations are recommended in periods of 12 months.

24.2 Over current protection

The chambers are equipped with an internal fuse not accessible from outside. If this fuse is blown, please contact an electronic engineer or BINDER service.

24.3 Definition of usable volume

The usable volume illustrated below is calculated as follows:
a, b, c = distance to wall a = 0.1*A
b = 0.1*B c = 0.1*C
V
= (A - 2 * a) * (B - 2 * b) * (C - 2 * c)
USE
Figure 19: 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 and humidity.
