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 cabinet 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:
), 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. Cabinet description
The Datacolor CONDITIONER™ sample conditioning cabinet is 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 comprehensive program control functions, the
display program controller MB2 permits the high precision performance of temperature and humidity cycles.
The sample conditioning cabinet with multifunctional microprocessor display controller MB2 is available in
two different types:
• without light unit
• with light unit
The sample conditioning cabinet is designed for exact conditioning of harmless materials such as paper,
textiles, plastics, building materials, to condition the samples at fixed temperature and humidity, so as
ensure no change in color of the samples occurs due to varying temperature and humidity
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. 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 materials, etc.
A resistance humidifying system humidifies the air. For this purpose, use deionized (demineralized) water. The option BINDER Pure Aqua Service allows using the cabinet with any degree of water hardness.
The cabinet with lights unit is equipped with “Bio Vital” fluorescent tubes installed in two light cassettes.
They illuminate very homogeneously the racks below them. Both light cassettes are permanently connected. The cable length permits easily removal to replace the fluorescent tubes. Control is effected via
the MB2 controller. Light is dimmable in 1% steps.
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.
The inner chamber is closed by a glass door that enables the samples to be viewed for a short time without disturbing the climate in the inner chamber.
All cabinet functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features
are easy cleaning of all cabinet parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
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 MB2 touch
screen controller. The cabinet comes equipped with an Ethernet serial interface for computer communication. In addition, the BINDER communication software APT-COM™ 3 permits networking up to 30
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. 23.5.
The cabinet is equipped with two safety devices to protect the unit, its environment and the samples inside from forbidden temperature excesses:
• Electric safety controller
The sample conditioning cabinet is equipped with an electric over temperature safety device class 3.1
acc. to DIN 12880:2007. It is called a “safety controller”. It serves to protect the charging material
against extensive high temperatures. The safety controller is electrically independent from the main
temperature controller and takes over control when a selectable set point is reached.
• Temperature fuse
The sample conditioning cabinet is equipped with a temperature fuse, class 1 acc. to DIN 12880:2007.
It serves to protect the unit and prevents danger caused by considerable defects. If a temperature of
about 110 °C is reached, the temperature fuse switches off the unit permanently.

4.2 Wastewater connection
Fasten the wastewater hose to the wastewater connection “OUT” (7) on the rear of the cabinet (olive ∅
14 mm). Observe the following points:
• You can use a part of the supplied water hose as a drainage hose. In case another hose is used, it
has to be permanently resistant against at least 95 °C / 203 °F.
• Mount the wastewater hose with a maximum positive inclination of 1 m and a maximum total length of
3 m.
• Protect the cabinet end of the drainage hose with one of the supplied hose clamps.
• Reliably prevent sucking back of wastewater. The end of the wastewater hose must not be immersed
in liquids. This can be ensured e.g., by free discharge.
Waste water is collected in an internal can with a volume of approx. 0.5 liters. It i s pumped off
only when required, thus there is no continuous waste water flow.
Protect the waste water supply with the supplied hose clamps.
4.3 Freshwater supply
Connect the waste water pipe before connecting the cabinet to a freshwater pipe or filling the
freshwater can (option, chap. 4.5).
You can supply the cabinet with freshwater via a water pipe or by manually filling a freshwater can (option, chap. 4.5).

Datacolor CONDITIONER™ (MB2) 06/2017page 24/126
Page 25
Assembly:
Screw the hose burst protection device onto a water tap with a G¾ inch right turning thread connection.
The connection is self-sealing. Establish the connection between the safety kit and the cabinet with a part
of the supplied hose. Protect both ends of the hose by the supplied hose clamps.
We recommend connecting the hose as the last step in order to avoid twisting the hose while screwing on
the safety kit.
Open the water tap slowly in order to avoid actuating the hose burst protection device.
Figure 9: Assembly of the connection kit
Protection principle of the hose burst protection device:
Whenever a strong water flow of about 18 l / min. occurs, e.g. caused by a burst water hose, a valve au-
tomatically cuts off the water supply, which can be heard as a clicking noise. The water supply now remains shut until it is manually released.
Release of the reflux protection device:
In case the burst protection device has interrupted the water supply, first find the reason and remove it as
necessary. Close the water tap. Release the valve by a half left-turn of the upper knurled part. You can
hear the release of the valve as a clicking noise. Tighten the burst protection device against the water tap
by a right turn. Open the water tap slowly afterwards.
Maintenance of the assembly of the hose burst protection device:
Calcification can impair valve function. We recommend an annual inspection by a skilled plumber. The
plumber should demount the safety kit to check the valve by hand for functi on, calcification or blockage.
CAUTION
Danger of calcification.
Impairment of valve function.
Have a plumber inspect the valve annually.
Remove calcifications by citric acid or acetic acid solutions.
Continue by testing the function and tightness of the mounted cabinet
Check: Quickly open the water tap while there is no cabinet connected – the valve should cut off the water flux without any delay.

5.7 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 cabinet had before power failure. . The
controller continues to function in the original operating mode it was in previously before the power failure
occurred.
• Performance after power failure in Idle mode
Control is deactivated
• Performance after power failure in Fixed value operation mode
All functions return to the same status the cabinet had before power failure. The set-points are immediately resumed.
• Performance after power failure during time program operation
The program is resumed at the point where the interruption occurred with the latest set-points reached
during the program run.
• Performance after power failure during week program operation
The week program continues with the values corresponding to the current time.
Power failure and power return are noted in the event list (chap. 15.3).
If during power failure an alarm has occurred (tolerance range, safety controller), confirm the alarm. See
chap. 11.3.

5.8 Performance when opening the door
When you open the door the fan starts running with minimum speed.
After 60 seconds from opening the door, heating, refrigeration, humidification, dehumidification and fan
turn off.
After closing the door, heating, refrigeration, humidification, dehumidif icat i on and fan turn on again.
6. Start up
6.1 Turning on the cabinet
After connecting the supply lines (chap. 4), turn on the cabinet by its main power switch (1). The lit pilot
lamp shows the cabinet is ready for operation.
When the main power switch is turned on and yet the controller display is dark, the display is in stand-by
mode. Press on the touchscreen to activate it.
• Open the water-tap for freshwater supply. Alternatively, f i l l the freshwater can (option, chap. 4.5).
• The humidifying and dehumidifying system must be activated (deactivated operation line “Humidity
off”, chap. 7.3 and setting “Control on”, chap. 6.3).
After the first turning on of the cabinet or after an interruption of the power supply the relative humidity will
increase after a delay of about 20 minutes, as the fresh water needs to be heated first. During this period,
the relative humidity can drop considerably.
The cabinet 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 cabinet to its nominal temperature for one day and in
a well-ventilated location.
WARNING: If customer should use a cabinet 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 cabinets, if this is feasible.
6.2 Controller settings upon start up
The window „Language selection“ enables the language selection, in case that it’s activated in the
“Start-up” menu. Afterwards occurs a request of the time zone and the temperature unit.
The controller will function in the operating mode, which was active before the last shut-down. It controls
temperature and humidity in fixed value operating mode to the last entered values and in the program
mode to the set points achieved beforehand.
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ (MB2) 06/2017page 44/126
Page 45
Locked operation
Provided that the user administration has been activated by the assignment of passwords for the different
authorization types, the controller operation is first locked after turning on the unit, recognizable by the
closed lock icon in the header.
In the locked view the controller provides all display functions. No setting functions are av ail abl e.
The setpoints are shaded (light grey) in normal display. Changing them by direct entry in the fixed value
operating mode is not possible. The functional icons for setpoint entry and program start in the footer are
without function.
After turning on the unit, user log-in is required to operate the controller (chap. 13.2)
Operation without user log-in / without password-protection
If the password function has been deactivated, after turning on the unit without user log-in there are those
controller functions available, which correspond to the highest authorization level without a password
protection. There is no lock icon in the header.
6.3 Turning on/off humidity control

9.7.2 Set-point ramp and set-point step
You can define the type of temperature and humidity transitions for each indiv i dual program secti on.
“Ramp” mode: Gradual changes of temperature and humidity
The set-point of a given program section functions as the section’s start temperature. During the section’s
duration, the set-point gradually passes to the set-point of the subsequent program section. The actual
value follows the continually changing set-point.
If the last program section is in “ramp” mode and the setpoint shall change within this section, then you
must program an additional section (with the shortest possible section duration) to provide the target
temperature of the last program section. Otherwise, the setpoint would remain constant during the section’s duration.
Programming in the “ramp” mode allows all kinds of temperature and humidity transitions:
• Gradual changes of temperature and humidity
The setpoint changes its value gradually during the entered section duration. The actual value follows
the continually moving set-point at any time.
• Program sections with constant temperature and humidity
The setpoints (initial values) of two subsequent program sections are identical; so the temperature
and humidity remain constant during the entire duration of the first program section.
• Sudden changes of temperature and humidity
Steps can be programmed in ramp mode as temperature or humidity changes (ramps) that occur during a very short interval. If the duration of this transitional program section is very short (minimum entry 1 sec), the temperature or humidity change will proceed rapidly within the minimum am ount of time.
“Step” mode: Sudden changes of temperature and humidity
The set-point of any program section functions as the section’s target value. At the start of the program
section, the cabinet heats up or cools down and humidifies/dehumidifies with the maximum speed to
reach the entered value; and then it holds it for the remaining section time. Therefore the set-point temperature remains constant for the section’s duration. These changes occur rapidly within the minimum
amount of time (minimum entry: 1 second).
Programming in the “step” mode allows only two kinds of temperature and humidity transitions:
• Programming gradual changes of temperature and humidity (ramps) is impossible in the “step” mode
• Program sections with constant temperature and humidity
The setpoints (target values) of two subsequent program sections are identical; so the temperature
and humidity remain constant during the entire duration of the first program section.
• Sudden changes of temperature and humidity
The entered setpoint of the section is reached as fast as possible and then held constant for the remaining section duration.

9.7.5 Tolerance range
You can specify a temperature and humidity program tolerance range for each program section with different values for the tolerance minimum and maximum. When the actual value exceeds the given threshold, the program is interrupted. This is indicated on the display (see below). When the actual temperature
is situated again within the entered tolerance limits, the program automatically continues. Therefore, the
duration of the program may be extended due to the programming of tolerances.
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ (MB2) 06/2017page 61/126
Page 62
Programming of tolerances may extend program duration.
An entry of “-99999” for the tolerance minimum means “minus infinite” and an entry of “999999” for the
tolerance maximum means “plus infinite”. Entry of these values will never lead to program interruption.
The entry of “0” for the tolerance minimum and/or maximum deactivates t he respective tolerance function.
When requesting rapid value transitions, we recommend not programming tolerance values in order to
enable the maximum heating-up, cooling-down, humidification or dehumidification speed.

range:
-99999 to 99999. Confirm entry with Confirm icon. The controller returns to the section view.
If one of the actual values (temperature and/or humidity) is outside the program tolerance range the
whole program course is interrupted. During this program interruption time the controller equilibrates to
the set-points of the current section.
The screen header indicates “Program pause (tolerance band)”. The program runtime indication flashes
and does not proceed any further.
When the temperature or humidity values are back within the entered program tolerance range, the program continues automatically.
9.7.6 Repeating one or several sections within a time program
You can repeat several subsequent sections together. It is not possible to define the start section the
same time also as the target section, therefore you cannot repeat a single individual section.
Enter the desired number of repetitions in the field „Number of repetitions“ and the number of the section
to start the repetition cycle with in the field “Start section for repetition” To have sections repeated infinitely, enter the number of repetitions as “-1”.

12. Temperature safety devices
12.1 Over temperature protective device (class 1)
The cabinet is equipped with an internal temperature safety device, class 1 acc. to DIN 12880:2007. It
serves to protect the cabinet and prevents dangerous conditions caused by major defects.
• Cabinet without lights: limit temperature approx. 110 °C / 230 °F
• Cabinet with lights: limit temperature approx. 90 °C / 194 °F
If this limit temperature is reached, the over temperature protective device permanently turns off the cabinet. The user cannot restart it. The protective cut-off device is located internally. Only a service specialist
can replace it. Therefore, please contact an authorized service provider or your local Datacolor service
representative.
12.2 Overtemperature safety controller class 3.1
The cabinets are regularly equipped with an electronic overtemperature safety controller (temperature
safety device class 3.1 according to DIN 12880:2007). The safety controller is functionally and electrically
independent of the temperature control system. If an error occurs, it performs a regulatory function.
The overtemperature safety controller serves to protect the cabinet, its environment and the contents
from exceeding the maximum permissible temperature. In the case of an error, it limits the temperature
inside the cabinet to the entered safety controller set-point. This condition (state of alarm) is indicated
visually and additionally with an audible alert if the buzzer is enabled (chap. 11.5). The alarm persists
until the cabinet cools down below the configured safety controller setpoint.
Check the setting regularly and adjust it following changes of the set-point or charge.
The safety controller only activates after the set-point has been reached once.
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ (MB2) 06/2017page 77/126
Page 78
• In the field “Mode” select the desired setting
12.2.1 Safety controller modes
You can select between “Limit (absolute)” and “Offset (relative)” safety controller mode
•Limit: 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 set-point 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: Maximum overtemperature above any active temperature set point. The maximum tempera-
ture changes internally and automatically with every set-point change.
This setting is recommended for program operation. It is important to check the safety controller set-
point and safety controller mode occasionally, as it does not offer a fix, independent limit temperature
value, which would never be exceeded.
Example: Desired temperature value: 21 °C, desired safety controller value: 25 °C.
Possible settings for this example:
Temperature set point Safety controll er mode S afety controller set-point

After completing the settings, press the Confirm icon to take over the entries and exit the menu, or press
the Close icon to exit the menu without taking over the entries.
12.2.3 Message and measures in the state of alarm
The state of alarm is indicated visually in Normal display by the alarm message “Safety controller alarm”
and the screen header flashing in red color. If the buzzer is enabled (chap. 11.5) there is an additional
audible alert (chap. 11.2). The alarm remains active until it is acknowledged on the controller and the
inner temperature falls below the set safety controller setpoint. Then the heati ng i s released again.

13. User management
13.1 Authorization levels and password protection
The available functions depend on the current authorization level “Master”, “Service”, “Admin” or “User”.
The authorization levels are hierarchical: Every authorization includes all functions of the next l ower level.
“Master” authorization level
• Highest authorization level, only for developers
• Extensive authorization for controller operation and configuration, outputs/inputs, alarm settings, pa-
rameter sets and operating ring display
• All passwords can be changed in the “log out” submenu (chap. 13.3).
“Service” authorization level
• Authorization level only for Datacolor service
• Extensive authorization for controller operation and configuration, access to service data
• The passwords for “Service”, “Admin” and “User” authorization levels can be changed in the “log out”
submenu (chap. 13.3).
“Admin” authorization level
• Expert authorization level, for the administrator
• Authorization for controller configuration and network settings and for operating those controller func-
tions required for operating the cabinet. Restricted access to service data.
• Password (factory setting): “2”.
• The passwords for “Admin” and “User” authorization levels can be changed in the “log out” submenu
(chap. 13.3).
“User” authorization level
• Standard authorization level for the cabinet operator
• Authorization for operating the controller functions required for operating the cabinet.
• No authorization for controller configuration and network settings. The “Settings” and “Service” sub-
menus of the main menu are not available.
• Password (factory setting): “1”
• The password for the “User” authorization level can be changed in the “log out” submenu (chap. 13.3).
As soon as a password has been assigned for an authorization level, the access to this level and the
related controller functions are only available after log-in with the appropriate password.
If for an authorization level no password is assigned, the related controller functions of this level are
available for every user without login.
If passwords have been assigned for all authorization levels, access to the controller functions is locked
without login.
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ (MB2) 06/2017page 80/126
Page 81
Operation after user login
At user login, the authorization level is selected
and confirmed by entering the respective password.
Following user login, controller operation is available, recognizable by the open-lock icon in the
header. The available controller functions correspond to the user’s authorization level.
Example: cabinet without lights
Password protection activated for all levels: operation without user login is locked
If passwords have been assigned for all authorization levels, the controller is locked without registration of a user.
As long as no user is registered, controller operation is locked, recognizable at the closed-lock icon
in the header. This requires that the user management has been activated by the assignment of
passwords for the individual authorization levels.
Example: cabinet without lights
Password protection for at least one level deactivated: operation without user login is possible
If passwords have not been assigned for all authorization levels, after turning on the cabinet there are
those controller functions available, which correspond to the highest authorization level without
password protection.
No lock icon is shown in the display header.
User login is neither required nor possible.
To activate the password protection and user login,
perform new password assignment (chap. 13.5.3).
Example: cabinet without lights

authorization. There are only viewing functions available.
Display when all authorization levels are password protected and no user has logged in:
No authorization level is displayed.
If passwords have been assigned only for some of the authorization levels, a user without login (password entry) has access to the functions of the highest authorization level without password protection.
Display when only some of the authorization levels are
password protected (example: no protection for the
“User” and “Admin” levels) and no user has logged in:

13.5.3 New password assignment for “service” or “admin” authorization level when the
password function was deactivated
If the password protection for an authorization level has been deactivated, i.e., no password is assigned,
no login for this level is possible. Therefore access to this authorization level is available without login.
If the password for the “Service” or “Admin” authorization has been deleted (chap. 13.5.2), a new password can be assigned for the current level and the next lower level(s) without user login.
Example: The password for the “Admin” authorization level was deleted, therefore every user without
login has full access to the functions of the “Admin” authorization level. If access to this level shall become password protected again, the user can assign a new password for the “Admin” authorization level
with the “Password” function.
