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.
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ (MB2) 06/2017page 14/126
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
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.
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ (MB2) 06/2017page 25/126
