2. Chamber description

The drying and heating ovens with forced convection and advanced program functions APT.line™ M are
specially developed precision warming chamber with high capacity. They are equipped with a multifunc­tional microprocessor display controller with a digital display accurate to one-tenth of a degree. With their
comprehensive program control functions, they allow the high precision performance of temperature cy­cles with fast heating-up phases.

The APT.line™ preheating chamber system guarantees high level of spatial and time-based temperature
precision, thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. The fan supports exact at­tainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.

The high-quality housing insulation ensures both a low noise mode of operation and a consistently low
housing temperature. The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the interior side of the doors are
all made of stainless V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). When operating the
chamber at temperatures above 150 °C / 302 °F, the impact of the oxygen in the air may cause discolora­tion of the metallic surfaces (yellowish-brown or blue) by natural oxidation processes. These colorations
are harmless and will in no way impair the function or quality of the chamber. The housing is RAL 7035
powder-coated. All corners and edges are 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 chambers are equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer communication, e.g. with the
APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 11.1) For further options, see chap. 15.4.

The M 720

model is equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be easily locked via the attached

At an ambient temperature of +18 °C up to +40 °C / 64.4 °F to 104 °F, you can operate the chamber in a
temperature range from 5 °C / 9 °F above ambient temperature up to 300 °C / 572 °F.

least 1800 mm / 70.87 in in length.

Model Power plug

M 53, M 115, M 240 Shockproof plug

M 400, M 720 CEE plug 5 poles

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

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

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

data on the chamber’s type plate (chamber front behind the door, bottom left-hand, see chap. 1.4)

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

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

• Pollution degree (acc. to IEC 61010-1): 2

• Over-voltage category (acc. to IEC 61010-1): II

CAUTION

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

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

See also electrical data (chap. 15.3).

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

4.2 Connection to a suction plant (optional)

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

Active suction from the chamber must only be effected together with ext raneous air. Perforate
the connecting piece to the suction device or place an exhaust funnel at some distance to the
exhaust duct.

CAUTION

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

 Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation.

5. Start up

After connecting the electrical supply (chap. 4.1), turn on the chamber via the main power switch (2).
Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a quality de-

fect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal temperature for one
day and in a well-ventilated location.

Figure 5: Display program controller MB1

The program controller MB1 controls the temperature inside the chamber (range: 5 °C above ambient
temperature up to 300 °C).

You can enter the desired set point values in Manual Mode or Program Mode (chap. 5.2) in the display
controller.

Set point value Actual value

Figure 6: Normal display of the MB1 program controller in Manual mode

5.2 Operating modes

The program controller MB1 operates in 3 modes:

Idle Mode

The controller is not functional, i.e., there is no heating. The fan t urns
at a 50% rate.

Manual Mode
(Fixed value operation) (HAND)

Program Mode (AUTO)

The controller operates as a fixed-point control, i.e., a temperature
set-point can be defined, which is then maintained (chap. 8).

An entered temperature program is run (chap. 9).

The program controller MB1 allows programming temperature cycles.
The controller offers 25 program memory positions with 100 program sections each. The total number of

program sections of all programs is limited to 500.

M (E2) 04/2019 page 16/71

Programming can be done directly through the keypad of the controller or graphically through the APT­COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 11.1) specially developed by BINDER.

5.3 Performance after power failures

After the power returns, the chamber continues to function in the original operating mode it was in previ­ously before an actual power failure had occurred. In Manual Mode (HAND), the controller regulates the
temperature to the last entered set-points, while in Program Mode (AUTO) it regulates the temperature to
its set-point that was reached during the program operation. The power failure is noted in the event list
(chap. 6.2) however, no error message is displayed indicating that a power failure has taken place.

5.4 Turning on the chamber

Set the main power switch (2) to position I. The pilot lamp shows the chamber is ready for operation.

Observe a delay time of approx. 30s between turning Off and On again. Otherwise an initiali­zation problem may occur (display showing e.g. “–1999”).

Note that the chamber is in stand-by mode when the main power switch is in position I and the controller
display is dark. Turn on the chamber by pressing any button. When turned on, the chamber functions in
the operating mode entered before turning off. In Manual Mode (HAND), the controller regulates the tem­perature to the last entered set-point, and in Program Mode (AUTO) it regulates the temperature to the
set-points reached during previous program operation.
