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.

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

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.

9.4 Information on programming different temperature transitions

For the end value of the desired cycle, add an additional section (in the examples section 05 for set­point ramp and section 08 for set-point step) with a section time of at least one second. Otherwise, the program will stop one section too early because the program line is incomplete.
Program interruption (rest function): Press key "HAND" in order to interrupt the program. During this program interruption time the controller equilibrates to the set-points of the section actually reached. The display reads AUTO HAND on the bottom right instead of AUTO (program operation). This state lasts until you press the EXIT key, then the program continues. If you want to cancel the in­terrupted program, keep the AUTOMATIC key pressed down for at least 5 seconds.
Tolerance band function: If the tolerance minimum is set to e.g. -5 and the tolerance maximum to e.g. +5, the program will be interrupted when the actual value deviates by 5 °C or more from the set­point value. During this program interruption time the controller equilibrates to the set-points of the section actually reached. The display reads AUTO HAND on the bottom right instead of AUTO (pro­gram operation). You can enter different values for tolerance maximum and minimum for each section. When the temperature is situated within the entered tolerance limits, the program will continue auto­matically, and the indication AUTOHAND will disappear. If you want to cancel the interrupted program, keep the AUTOMATIC key pressed down for at least 5 seconds.
Programming of tolerances can extend program duration.
Therefore, the duration of the program may be extended due to the programming of tolerances. The number -1999 for the tolerance minimum means “-“ and the number 9999 for the tolerance max-
imum means “+ “. Entry of these numbers will never lead to program interruption. During the rapid transition phase, do NOT program any tolerance limits in order to permit the maxi-
mum heating and cooling speed.
The initial setting ∗∗∗∗. of the fan speed corresponds to the maximal speed of 100 %. This setting cannot be changed.
Programming is stored even in case of a power failure or after turning off the chamber.
The controller memory can store a maximum of 25 programs. Each program cannot exceed 100 sec-
tions. It is not possible to link programs. The total number of program sections of all programs is lim­ited to a maximum of 500.
When the program is finished, the controller changes to Idle Mode.
Running program (display AUTO): If you incidentally press the EXIT or AUTOMATIC button, the con-
troller will change to Idle Mode and thus will not adjust any longer to the program set-points
Program interruption with rest function (display AUTO HAND): If you press the EXIT key, the program continues. Button ENTER is non-functional. To cancel the program, keep the AUTOMATIC button pressed down for 5 seconds.
Program interruption with tolerance band function (display AUTO HAND): Buttons EXIT and ENTER are non-functional. To cancel the program, keep the AUTOMATIC button pressed down for at least 5 seconds.
General note:
The controller MB1 displays more menu entries than those described in this manual. These are password protected because they are relevant for service purposes only and the user must not modify them. Only service authorized by BINDER can access these entries.

10. Bedew protection facility (operation line 1)

The bedew protection condensates the chamber humidity at the coldest point in order to avoid the sam­ples becoming wet from condensation. Bedew protection is performed by the evaporator and can be pro­grammed On/Off via operation line 1 in Manual Mode (HAND) and in Program Mode (AUTO).
Use the bedew protection only if absolutely necessary to prevent condensation on the charging material.
When the bedew protection is enabled (operation line 1 = On) the refrigeration machine keeps operating within warming-up phases (On = refrigeration machine operating, Off = refrigeration machine off).
If possible, use the bedew protection only during warm-up phases. If necessary it can also be activated during hold phases.
Do NOT use the bedew protection above a temperature set-point of +20 °C / 68°F maximum.
To obtain optimal warming results without condensation on the samples, program a heating gradient of approx. 0.5 °C/min.
Example:
MK / MKT (E3.1) 07/2017 page 49/104
In the program table the state of operation line 1 for bedew protection is represented in the column “Sk”:
On = 00000001 Off = 00000000 Example: Operation line 1 is activated in the first
program section and remains active up to 20 °C / 68°F.
Then the refrigeration machine turns off automatically.

Depending on size, material, and shape of the charging material and on the heating-up rate, condensa­tion may form despite the activated bedew protection. This condensation is, however, reduced compared to the state without bedew protection.
11. Zero-voltage relay outputs via operation lines 2 to 5 (MKT, option
for MK)
With this option, operation lines 2 to 5 serve to switch any device connected to the zero-voltage relay output (DIN sockets (11) and (12) located in the lateral control panel). They can be programmed ON/OFF in Manual Mode (chap. 8) as well as in Program Mode (AUTO, chap. 9) via operation lines 2 to 5.
Connection for operation lines 2 and 3 occurs via DIN socket (11), connection for operation lines 4 and 5 via DIN socket (12) in the lateral control panel:

12. Temperature safety devices

12.1 Over-temperature protective device (class 1)

The chamber is equipped with an internal temperature safety device class 1 according to DIN 12880:2007. It serves to protect the chamber and prevents dangerous conditions caused by major de­fects.
If the actual temperature exceeds the nominal temperature by approx. 20 °C, the over temperature pro­tective device permanently turns off the chamber. The user cannot restart the device again. This protec­tive cut-off device is located internally. Only a service specialist can replace it. Therefore, please contact an authorized service provider or BINDER Service.

12.2 Safety controller (over-temperature safety device class 2)

The chamber is equipped with an over temperature safety device class 2 acc. to DIN 12880:2007. It is designated as the “safety controller”. 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.
With the option over-/under temperature safety device (chap. 12.3), the safety cont roll er m ust be set to maximum temperature.
The message “TEMPERATURE LIMIT” on the controller display indicates safety controller activity. The safety controller controls the alternating climate 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 by button RESET.
Regularly check the safety controller setting for set-point type “Limit” or “Offset”
in Manual Mode according to the entered set-point temperature value
program
Set the safety controller set-point by approx. 10 °C above the highest temperat ure set-point.
Safety controller set-point types: Limit
Offset
Absolute maximum permitted temperature value. Example: Temperature set-point 100 °C/ 212 °F Limit value (safety controller set-point) set to 110 °C. Maximum over temperature above the active temperature set point. The m aximum tem-
perature changes internally and automatically with every set-point change it. Example: Temperature set-point 100 °C / 212 °F Offset value (safety controller set-point) set to 10 °C.
Do NOT change the temperature unit from °C to °F.

14. Notes on refrigerating operation

Defrosting:
BINDER chambers are very diffusion-proof. To ensure high temperature precision there is no automatic cyclic defrosting device. The refrigerating system largely avoids icing of the evaporation plates. However, at very low temperatures the moisture in the air can condense on the evaporator leading to icing.
Always close the door properly.
Operation with temperature set-points above +5 °C / 41°F at an ambient temperature of 20 °C / 68 °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 temperature to 60 °C / 140°F (Manual Mode).
Let the chamber operate for approx. 1 hour with the door closed
plugs.
Too much ice on the evaporator is noticeable by reduced refrigerating performance.
Operation with temperature set-points below 0 °C / 32°F:
While operating the chamber 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 below 0 °C / 32°F a thin ice layer can cover the inner chamber door , the front margins of the inner kettles and may be the glass window.. 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 below 0 °C / 32°F due to icing of the evaporators. For this reason defrost the chamber regularly, e.g. once a week.
CAUTION
Uncontrolled defrosting of icing on the evaporator.
After several days of refrigerating below +5 °C / 41°F: Do NOT directly turn off the chamber.
Manually defrost the chamber (see description above). Then, shut down the chamber at the main power switch (3) and close the tap of the
water supply. Keep removed the access port plugs.

17.2 Decommissioning

Turn off the main power switch (3). Turn off the rear power switch (16). Disconnect the chamber from the power supply.
When turning off the main power switch ON / OFF (3), the stored parameters remain saved.
Temporal decommissioning: See indications for appropriate storage, chap. 3.3. In case of a prolonged temporal decommissioning: Leave the chamber door open or remove the ac-
cess port plugs. For several weeks out of service, we recommend turning on the chamber every 3 days and operating it about 30 minutes in the cooling mode. This will ensure a quicker restart.
Final decommissioning: Dispose of the chamber as described in chap. 17.3 to 17.5.

19. Technical description

19.1 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 constituent part of the BINDER QM DIN EN ISO 9001 sys­tems. They are controlled and calibrated to a DKD standard at regular intervals.

19.2 Over-current protection

The chambers are equipped with an internal protection not accessible from outside. If these fuses have responded, please contact an electronic engineer or BINDER Service.

19.3 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 19: Determination of the useable volume
The technical data refers to the so 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.
