MK / MKT (E3.1) 07/2017 page 12/104

2. Chamber description

The alternating climate chamber MK / MKT is a specially developed precision cooling/warming cabinet for the domain of industrial material testing and environment simulation, with an unrivalled capacity, which far exceeds the capabilities of normal test cabinets, providing the ideal facilities for solving all the problems which occur during material as well as ageing and stress tests.

The chambers are equipped with a multifunctional microprocessor display controller for temperature with a digital display accurate to one-tenth of a degree. With its comprehensive program control functions, the display program controller MB1 permits the high precision performance of temperature and humidity cycles with rapid heating up and cooling down phases.

The patented APT.line™ preheating chamber and air conduction technology guarantees excellent spatial temperature values for the total working area. The chamber is equipped with a powerful refrigerating system permitting rapid cooling-down speeds. In addition, it provides almost unlimited possibilities for adaptation to individual customer requirements based upon extensive programming options.

The high-quality housing insulation guarantees 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 steel 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.

The efficient program controller is equipped with a multitude of operating functions, in addition to recorder and alarm functions. Programming of test cycles is easily accomplished via the modern color-display controller MB1 and is also possible directly with a computer via Intranet in connection with the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 15.1). The chamber comes regularly equipped with an Ethernet serial interface for computer communication. In addition, the BINDER communication software APT-COM (option) permits networking up to 30 chambers and connecting them to a PC for controlling and programming, as well as recording and representing temperature data. For further options, see chap. 19.6.

The chambers brakes.

MK: You can operate the chamber in a temperature range from -40 °C / -40 °F up to +180ºC / 356°F. MKT: You can operate the chamber in a temperature range from -70 °C / -94 °F up to +180ºC / 356°F.

The front castors of the chamber can be blocked by brakes. Please move the chambers with castors only when empty and on an even surface, otherwise the castors may be damaged. Mount the upholstered steel L-type profile at the lower door locking. After operation please observe the guidelines for temporarily decommissioning the chamber (chap. 17.2).

CAUTION

Sliding or tilting of the chamber. Damage to the chamber. Risk of injury by lifting heavy loads.

∅ Do NOT lift or transport the chamber using the door, the handle or at the lower hous-

ing.

∅ Do NOT lift the chamber by hand.

 Transport the chamber only in its original packaging.  Secure the alternating climate chamber with transport straps for transport.  Keep the chamber in upright position.  Place the chamber using technical devices (fork lifter) on the transport pallet. Set the

fork lifter only from the rear in the middle of the chamber. Make sure to place all the lateral supports of the chamber on the forks.

 Transport the chamber with the original transport pallet. Set the fork lift er ONLY to the

pallet. Without the pallet the chamber is in imminent danger of overturni ng.

• Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F.

You can order transport packing and pallets for moving or shipping purposes from BINDER service.

3.3 Storage

Intermediate storage of the chamber is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for temporary decommissioning (chap. 17.2).

• Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F.

• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing

When after storage in a cold location you transfer the chamber to its warmer installation site, condensation may form. Before start-up, wait at least two hours until the chamber has attained ambient temperature and is completely dry and the oil in the compressors has warmed up.

In case of a prolonged temporal decommissioning: Leave the chamber door open or remove the access port plugs.

3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions

Set up the chamber on a flat, even and non-flammable surface, free from vibration, and in a wellventilated, dry location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of supporting the chamber’s weight (see technical data, chap. 19.4). The chambers are designed for setting up inside a building (indoor use).

CAUTION

Danger of overheating. Damage to the chamber.

∅ Do NOT set up chambers in non-ventilated recesses.

 Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.

• Permissible ambient temperature range during operation: +18 °C / 64.4 °F to +32 °C / 89.6 °F. At ele-

vated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur.

The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient temperature of +25 °C / 77 °F to which the specified technical data relate. For other ambient conditions, deviations from the indicated data are possible.

• Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing.

When operating the chamber at temperature set-points below ambient temperature, high ambient humidity may lead to condensation on the chamber.

• Installation height: max. 2000 m / 6562 ft. above sea level.

When placing several chambers of the same size side by side, maintain a minimum distance of 250 mm /

9.84 in between each chamber. Wall distances: rear 300 mm / 11.81 in, sides 200 mm / 7.87 in. Spacing

above the chamber of at least 100 mm / 3.94 in must also be maintained.

5.2 Operating modes

The program controller MB1 operates in 3 modes:

Idle Mode Manual Mode

(Fixed value operation) (HAND)

Program Mode (AUTO)

The controller is not functional, i.e., there is no heating. The fan is off. 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 permits 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. Programming can be done directly through the keypad of the controller or graphically through the soft-

ware APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 15.1) 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 were 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 Performance when opening the door

When you open the door, temperature control (heating and refrigeration) immediately stops (the compressor continues running for 5 minutes without cooling). The fan is off.

MK / MKT (E3.1) 07/2017 page 26/104

5.5 Turning on the chamber

Turn on the rear power switch (16) at least one hour before operating the chamber. Set the main power switch (3) to position I. The pilot lamp shows the chamber is ready for operation.

Observe a delay time of approx. 30s between turning Off and again On the main power switch (3). Otherwise an initialization problem may occur (display showing e.g. “–1999”).

The refrigerating function is available only one hour after turning on the rear power switch (16). This is indicated by the notification “1H PREHEAT PHASE” in the controller display (chap. 13.1).

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.

8. Manual Mode

In Manual Mode (HAND) you can enter a temperature set-point and the switching-state of up to 8 operation lines. Operation line 1 is used to control the bedew protection (chap. 10). Operation lines 2 to 5 serve to switch any device connected to the zero-voltage relay outputs (DIN sockets (8) and (9), MKT, option for MK, chap. 11). Operation line 8 releases the compressed air dryer (option, chap. 15.6). The other operation lines are non-functional. All settings remain valid in Manual Mode (HAND) until the next manual change, if the chamber had been turned off or in case of toggling to Idle Mode or Program Mode (AUTO).

In Manual Mode, no program can be started. A set-point can be entered for temperature. The actual value equilibrates to this set-point.

When pushing the EXIT button in Manual Mode, the controller changes to Idle Mode. The set-points entered in Manual Mode remain saved.

Setting range Control range

-50 °C / -58°F up to 180 °C / 356°F (range -50 °C up to -40 °C not provided for operation)

-80 °C / -112°F up to 180 °C / 356°F (range -80 °C up to -70 °C not provided for operation)

With set-point type “Limit”, adapt the safety controller (chap. 12.2) always when you changed the temperature set-point. Set the safety controller set-point by approx. 10 °C above the desired temperature set-point.

We recommend keyboard locking (option, chap. 15.5) during operation.

In case of the optional over-/under temperature safety device (chap. 12.3), check also the temperature limits entered there, and adjust them if necessary.

When incidentally pressing the EXIT button during Manual Mode operation, the controller will change to Idle Mode and thus will not adjust any longer to the program set-points.

We recommend the keyboard locking (option, chap. 15.5) during operation.

For a negative set-point entry, enter the numerical value first and then t he minus sign (-).

- 40 °C / -40 °F up to + 180 °C / 356 °F

-70 °C / -94 °F up to + 180 °C / 356 °F

8.2 Performance after power failure in Manual Mode

In Manual Mode (HAND), all functions return exactly to the same status the chamber had before power failure. The set-point is immediately resumed, the switching states of the operation lines are conserved. No error message indicating that a power failure has taken place is displayed. However, the power failure will appear in the event list.

9. Program operation

The 1-channel program controller MB1 permits programming temperature cycles. It offers 25 program memory positions with 100 program sections each. The total cumulative number of program sections is limited to 500. It is not possible to link several programs.

For each program section you can enter a temperature set-point and the switching-state of up to 8 operation lines. Operating line 1 is used to control the bedew protection (chap. 10). Operation lines 2 to 5 serve to switch any device connected to the zero-voltage relay outputs (DIN sockets (8) and (9), MKT, option for MK, chap. 11). Operation line 8 releases the compressed air dryer (option, chap. 15.6). The other operation lines are non-functional.

Programming is possible directly by the keypad of the controller or graphically by the software APTCOM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 15.1) specially developed by BINDER.

9.2 Selecting between set-point ramp and set-point step

Temperature set-points always refer to the start of a program section, i.e., at the beginning of each program section the entered temperature set-point is targeted. During program section operation, the temperature gradually passes to the set-point entered for the next section.

By appropriate planning of the program section timing, you can enter all kinds of temperature transitions.

• 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; so the temperature remains con-

stant 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. A section with a differ-

ent set-point follows two program sections with an identical set-point. If the duration of this transitional program section is very short (minimum entry 1 sec), the temperature change will proceed rapidly within the minimum amount of time

Figure 14: Possible temperature transitions

The following chapter offers examples of programming a set-point ramp and a set-point step.

9.3 Program entry as set-point ramp or as set-point step

In order to avoid incorrect programming, we recommend plotting the temperature profile (chart template in chap. 9.9) and entering the values into a table (template in chap. 9.10).

The controller provides 8 operation lines that can be activated or de-activated for each program section. Operating contact 1 is used to control the bedew protection (chap. 10). Operation lines 2 to 5 serve to switch any device connected to the zero-voltage relay outputs (DIN sockets (8) and (9), MKT, option for MK, chap. 11). Operation line 8 releases the compressed air dryer (option, chap. 15.6). The other operation lines are non-functional.
