1.2 Product safety and dangers

The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured using
high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They reflect the
state of the art and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are
still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended. These are described below.

WARNING

After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. Touching these
can lead to an electrical shock. Disconnect the mains plug before
removing any covers. Work on the electrical system must only be
performed by qualifi ed electricians.

WARNING

When loading the appliance with an unsuitable chamber load, poi­sonous or explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could
cause the appliance to explode, and people could be severely injured
or poisoned. The appliance may only be loaded with materials/test
objects which do not release any toxic or explosive vapours when
heated (see also chapter Intended use and improper use on page

2.2 Description and function

Air is heated inside the appliance by means of large-area all-round heating. Humidification of
the interior is achieved by evaporating water from a tank at a set rate by means of a hot-air
generator on the rear side of the appliance. The sterile hot steam is introduced into the inte­rior underneath the fan and mixed with the air current. Dehumidification takes place through
the metered supply of fresh air via a sterile filter.

2.3 Working range

The temperature-humidity diagram (Fig. 3) specifies at what range of temperature and humi­dity a permanent operation is possible.

NOTICE

If in operation for long periods at the upper level or outside the working range, puddles of
water may form inside the chamber and water may force its way out of the door seal.

% rh

Fig. 3 Temperature-humidity working range (possible at an ambient temperature of
22 °C ± 3 K, relative humidity < 50 %)

Range A:

In this range, temperature and humidity can be combined as you please. If the chamber is in
operation at the upper limit or outside the working range for long periods, puddles of water
may form inside the chamber and water may leak out through the door seal. In extreme ambi­ent conditions, the working range may be restricted.

Range B:

If the specified range is exceeded upwards, the hot steam fed in will immediately condense,
due to the dew-point, at the coldest point in the appliance.

Range C:

At low temperatures and low relative air humidity, the effective range is heavily dependent on
the degree of humidity of the chamber load.

12 D39303 | Date 09/2018

5.4 Loading the appliance

WARNING

When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poisonous or
explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause the
appliance to explode, and people could be severely injured or poi­soned. The appliance may only be loaded with materials which do
not form any toxic or explosive vapours when heated up and can­not ignite (see also Intended use and improper use on page 8). If
there is any doubt as to the composition of materials, they must not
be loaded into the appliance.

NOTICE

► Check the chamber load for chemical compatibility with the materials of the appliance (see

page 12).

Insert the sliding steel grids or sliding shelves. The maximum number of grids/shelves and the
load capacity are specified in the technical data overview from page 14.

The appliance must not be
loaded too tightly, so that
proper air circulation in the
interior is guaranteed. Do not
place any of the chamber
load on the bottom, touching
the side walls or right below
the ceiling of the chamber
(Fig. 14, see also the "correct
loading" sticker on the
appliance).

In case of improper loading
(not enough space between
the items), the set tempera­ture may be exceeded or it
may take longer until it is
reached.

5.6 Monitoring function

5.6.1 Temperature monitoring

The appliance is equipped with a multiple overtemperature protection in accordance with
DIN 12 880. This serves to avoid damage to the chamber load and/or appliance in case of a
malfunction:

► electronic temperature monitoring (TWW)
► automatic temperature monitor ( ASF)
► mechanical temperature limiter (TB)

The monitoring temperature of the electronic temperature
monitoring is measured via a separate Pt100 temperature sensor
in the interior. Temperature monitoring settings are made via the

ALARM display. The settings made apply to all operating modes.

If temperature monitoring has been
triggered, this is indicated on the tempera­ture display: the actual temperature is
highlighted in red and a

warning
symbol is shown ( Fig. 16 ). The type of
temperature monitoring triggered (TWW in
this example) is shown beneath the
temperature.

If the acoustic alarm has been activated
in menu mode (

Sound see page 52,

indicated by the speaker symbol

on the
alarm display), the alarm is additionally
signalled by an intermittent acoustic signal, which can be turned off by pressing the confirma­tion key. Information on what to do if this happens can be found in chapter Malfunctions,
warning and error messages from page 37.

Before reading how to adjust temperature monitoring (from page 32), please read the
description of the individual monitoring functions here.

Electronic temperature monitoring ( TWW)

The manually set monitoring temperature min and max of the overtemperature control is
monitored by an adjustable over/undertemperature controller (TWW) of protection class 3.3
according to DIN 12 880. If the manually set monitoring temperature

max is exceeded, the

TWW takes overtemperature control and begins to regulate the monitoring temperature (Fig.

17).

Automatic temperature monitor ( ASF)

ASF is a monitoring device that automatically follows the set temperature setpoint within an
adjustable tolerance band (Fig. 18).

The ASF – if switched on – is automatically activated as soon as the actual temperature value
reaches 50 % of the set tolerance band of the setpoint (in the example: 50 °C ± 1 K) for the
first time (section A).

When the temperature violates the set tolerance band around the setpoint (in the example in
Fig. 18:
50 °C ± 2 K) – e.g. if the door is opened during operation (section B of illustration) – the alarm
is set off. The ASF alarm is automatically terminated as soon as 50 % of the set tolerance band
of the setpoint (in the example: 50 °C ± 1 K) are reached again (section C).

If the temperature setpoint is altered, the ASF is automatically disabled temporarily (in this
example: The setpoint is changed from 50 °C to 25 °C, section D), until it reaches the tolerance
range of the new temperature setpoint (section E).

Mechanical temperature monitoring: Temperature limiter (TB)

The appliance is equipped with a mechanical temperature limiter
(TB) of protection class 1 in accordance with DIN 12 880. If the
electronic monitoring unit fails during operation and the default
maximum temperature is exceeded by at least 20 °C, the tempera­ture limiter, as the final protective measure, switches off the
heating permanently.

7.3 Setup

7.3.1 Overview

In the SETUP display, you can set the following parameters:

► the IP address and subnet mask of the appliance's Ethernet interface (for connection to a

network)

► The units of the temperature display (°C or °F, see page 44)
► How the digital backwards counter with target time setting (Timer Mode, see page 44)
► Remote control (see page 45)
► Gateway (see page 45)

If the Setup menu contains more entries than can be
displayed, this is indicated by the display "1/2". This
means that there is a second "page" of entries.

To display the hidden entries, use the turn control to scroll
beyond the lowest entry. The page display changes to "2/2".

7.3.2 IP address and subnet mask

If you want to operate one ore more appliances in a net­work, each appliance must have its own unique IP address
for identification. By default, each appliance is delivered
with the IP address 192.168.100.100.

LAN 1: 192.168.1.233

192.168.1.216

7.3.5 Remote control (AtmoREMOTE)

In the setup entry remote control, you can set whether the
appliance should be controlled via remote control and if so,
in which mode. These settings are available:

► Off
► Read only
► Write
► Write + Alarm

If the appliance is in remote control mode, the symbol
appears in the temperature display. In the settings

Write

and Write + Alarm, the appliance cannot be controlled at
the ControlCOCKPIT until the remote control has been
switched off (setting

Off) or set to Read only.

In order to use the remote control function, program­ming skills and special libraries are required.

7.3.6 Gateway

The setup entry gateway is used to connect two networks
with different protocols.

The gateway is set the same way as the IP address (see page

43).

7.4 Date and time

In the TIME display, you can set the date and time, time zone and daylight saving time.

NOTICE

Always set the time zone (and daylight saving time yes/no) before you set the date and
time. Avoid changing the set time after that since this can lead to gaps or overlapping when
recording measured values. If you still need to change the time, you should not run a program
immediately before or after doing so.

7.5 Calibration

NOTICE

To guarantee perfect control, we recommend to calibrate the appliance once a year.

7.5.1 Temperature calibration

The appliances are temperature calibrated and adjusted at the factory. In case readjustment
should be necessary later on – for example due to influence of the chamber load – the ap­pliance can be calibrated customer-specifically using three calibration temperatures of your
choice:

► Cal1 Temperature calibration at low temperature
► Cal2 Temperature calibration at medium temperature
► Cal3 Temperature calibration at high temperature

For temperature calibration, you will need a calibrated reference measuring device.

7.8 Protocol

The appliance continually logs all relevant measured values, settings and error messages at
1-minute intervals. The internal log memory is of the continuous memory type. The logging
function cannot be switched off and is always active. The measured data are stored in the
appliance, safe from manipulation. If the power supply is interrupted, the time of the power
failure and voltage recovery are stored in the appliance.

You can export the protocol data for different periods to a USB storage medium via the USB
port or, via Ethernet, import them to the AtmoCONTROL software for graphical representa­tion, print-out or storage.

The log memory of the appliance is not modified or deleted by reading it out.

1. Connect the USB storage medium to the
USB port on the right of the Control­COCKPIT.

2. Activate the protocol. To do so, press
the activation key on the right side of
the

PROTOCOL display. The display is

enlarged and the period

This month au-

tomatically highlighted. To select another
logging period, use the turn control.

7.9 USER ID

7.9.1 Description

With the USER ID function, you can lock the settings of individual (e.g. temperature) or all
parameters, so that they cannot be changed at the appliance by accident or unauthorised
persons. You can also lock setting options in menu mode (e.g. adjustment or date and time
settings) this way.

If adjustment options are locked, this is indicated
by the lock symbol in the respective display (Fig.

26).

USER ID data is entered in the AtmoCONTROL software
and saved on the USB storage medium. The USB stor­age medium is thus acting as a key: Parameters can
only be locked or unlocked if it is connected.

A description of how to create a USER ID in
AtmoCONTROL is provided in the separate AtmoCONTROL manual.

7.9.2 USER ID activation and deactivation

1. Connect the USB storage medium with
the USER ID data to the USB port on the
right of the ControlCOCKPIT.
