Construction and description

2.2 Construction and function

The appliance can heat up the interior to up to 60 °C and cool it down to –10 °C (without humidity and without light) or +10 °C (with humidity). A compressor is used for cooling.

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 air is introduced into the interior above the fan and mixed with the air current. Humidity is reduced through condensation, using Peltier cooling modules on the rear side of the appliance. Ice that might build up due to dehumidification is automatically defrosted in cycles.

The model ICHL is equipped with an illumination box in the upper interior, which contains fluorescent tubes. The chamber load can be illuminated with UV light and/or daylight.

2.3 Material

For the outer housing, MEMMERT uses stainless steel (Mat.No. 1.4016 – ASTM 430) and for the interior, stainless steel (Mat.No. 1.4301 – ASTM 304) is used, which stands out through its high stability, optimal hygienic properties and corrosion resistance to many (but not all!) chemical compounds (caution for example with chlorine compounds).

The chamber load for the appliance must be carefully checked for chemical compatibility with the materials mentioned. A material resistance table can be requested from the manufacturer.

2.4 Electrical equipment

► Operating voltage and current consumption: See nameplate ► Protection class I, i.e. operating insulation with PE conductor in accordance with EN 61010 ► Protection type IP 20 acc. to EN 60 529 ► Interference suppression acc. to EN 55011 class B ► Appliance fuse: Safety fuse 250 V/15 A, quick-blow ► The temperature controller is protected with a miniature fuse 100 mA (160 mA at 115 V)

5.3 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 on page 8). If there is any doubt as to the composition of materials, they must not be loaded into the appliance.

Caution:

Check the chamber load for chemical compatibility with the materials of the appliance (see page 11).

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

To achieve the correct heating capacity, the type of drawer used – Grid or Shelf – must be set in the menu under

The chamber 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 floor, touching the side walls or right below the ceiling of the chamber (Fig. 16, see also the "correct loading" sticker on the appliance).

In case of improper loading (chamber loaded too tightly), the set temperature may be exceeded or it may take longer until it is reached.

The appliance is not suitable for long-term storing at sub-zero temperatures. During permanent operation, the glass door may ice over.

5.5 Monitoring function

5.5.1 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.

Automatic temperature monitor ( ASF)

ASF is a monitoring device that automatically follows the set temperature setpoint within an adjustable tolerance band (Fig. 20).

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. 20: 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 triggered 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 the tolerance range of the new temperature setpoint is reached again (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 (Fig. 21).

If the electronic monitoring unit should fail during operation and the factory-set maximum temperature is exceeded by approx. 20 °C, the temperature limiter, as the final protective measure, switches off the heating

7.3.6 Automatic defrosting system ( Defrost)

The integrated automatic defrosting system for the cooling unit ensures perfect operation of the appliance at low temperatures and in permanent operation. The defrosting interval can be set in steps of 6 hours, between 6 and 48 hours. The setting

Off

deactivates automatic defrosting. Due to long-term operation with a working temperature below

+15 °C or due to a damp chamber load and/or the door opening frequently, ice can form in the interior over time. Heavy icing may impair the function of the appliance and could damage the cooling system. In this case, the working chamber should be defrosted. This can be achieved by short heating of the appliance (to 30-40 °C) or by switching it off for a longer period of time, e.g. over night. The resulting melting water can best be collected with a cloth at the front edge of the working chamber. Afterwards, the smooth surface of the interior can easily be cleaned.

Due to this automatic defrosting, there is a minor brief increase in the chamber temperature at regular intervals. If you would like to further reduce this impairment in performance, you can shorten the defrosting frequency, e.g. to every 24 hours.

In this case, please observe if there is a permanent drop in the cooling performance or a strong fluctuation of the actual value, which may be an indication that the cooling unit is icing over. If this is the case, please set the automatic defrosting system one level higher.

2/2

Defrost

18h

D33142 | Date 03/2017 47

Menu mode

If humidity/room temperature are particularly high, it is possible that the factory setting for defrosting, 12 hours, is not sufficient. If this is the case, you should set a more frequent defrosting interval, e.g. every 6 hours.

Automatic defrosting is disabled with the setting Off. When operating at low temperatures, this over time causes the cooling unit to ice over. Regular defrosting needs to be carried out in order to prevent damage to the cooling system.

7.3.7 Remote control

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

Remote Control Off

Gateway 192.168.5 .1

► Read Only ► Write ► Write+Alarm

When the appliance is in remote control mode, the

7.4 Date and Time

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

Always set the time zone (and summer 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 programme immediately before or after doing so.

7.5 Calibration

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

7.5.1 Temperature adjustment

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 adjustment, 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 interface 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 interface on the right side of the control panel.

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.

3. Save your selection by pressing the confirmation key. The transfer starts and a status symbol indicates the progress.

4. As soon as the transfer is complete, a check mark appears in front of the period selected. The USB storage medium can now be removed.

For a description of how to import and process protocol data in AtmoCONTROL or read them out via Ethernet, please observe the separate AtmoCONTROL manual.
