1.5 General safety instructions on installing and operating the chambers
With regard to operating the chambers and to the installation location, please observe the DGUV guide-
lines 213-850 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGI/GUV-I 850-0, BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119,
issued by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Germany).
BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the chamber provided skilled electricians or
qualified personnel authorized by BINDER perform all maintenance and repair, and if components relat-
ing to chamber safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts.
To operate the chamber, use only original BINDER accessories or accessories from third-party suppliers
authorized by BINDER. The user is responsible for any risk caused by using unauthorized accessories.
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the chamber.
∅ Do NOT install the chamber in unventilated recesses.
Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
Do not operate the chambers in hazardous locations.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅ Do NOT operate the chamber in potentially explosive areas.
KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the chamber.
BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 03/2019 page 10/106
The chambers do not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance into the chamber which is combustible or explosive at
working temperature.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable. I.e., irrespective of
the solvent concentration in the steam room, NO explosive mixture with air must form. The temperature
inside the chamber must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material.
Familiarize yourself with the physical and chemical properties of the charging material, as well as the
contained moisture constituent and its behavior with the addition of heat energy.
Familiarize yourself with any potential health risks caused by the charging material, the contained mois-
ture constituent or by reaction products that may arise during the temperature process. Take adequate
measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the chamber into operation.
DANGER
Electrical hazard.
Danger of death.
∅ The chamber must NOT become wet during operation or maintenance.
The chambers were produced in accordance with VDE regulations and were routinely tested in accord-
ance to VDE 0411-1 (IEC 61010-1).
During and shortly after operation, the temperature of the inner surfaces almost equals the set-point.
CAUTION
The
glass doors and glass door handles (BD, BF), inner chamber, exhaust duct, door
window (option), and the door gaskets will become hot during operation.
Danger of burning.
∅ Do NOT touch the glass doors, inner surfaces, exhaust duct, door window, access
ports, door gaskets, or the charging material during operation.
∅ BF, FD, FED: Do not place the power cable over the door gap when the chamber is hot
after operation.
BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 03/2019 page 11/106
1.6 Intended use
The chambers are suitable for exact tempering of harmless materials and for drying and heat treatment of
solid or pulverized charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat. They can be used
to dry e.g. glassware, and for warm storage of liquids in containers.
Because of their precise temperature accuracy the incubators BD and BF are especially useful for incuba-
tion of cultures at a standard temperature of 37 °C / 98.6 °F.
A solvent content must not be explosive or flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging mate-
rial with air must NOT be explosive. The operating temperature must lie below the flash point or below the
sublimation point of the charging material. Any component of the charging material must NOT be able to
release toxic gases.
Other applications are not approved.
The chambers are not classified as medical devices as defined by the Medical Device Directive
93/42/EEC.
Do NOT use the chamber for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.
Due to the special demands of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, these ovens are not
qualified for sterilization of medical devices as defined by the directive.
Observing the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 13) is part of the intended use.
WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continu-
ous 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 chambers, if this is
feasible.
The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the ma-
chine components. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive
damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
The chambers do not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion or implosion hazard.
Danger of poisoning.
Danger of death.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into
the chamber, in particular no energy sources such as batteries or lithium-ion batteries.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance which could lead to release of toxic gases.
In case of foreseeable use of the device there is no risk for the user through the integration of the cham-
ber into systems or by special environmental or operating conditions in the sense of EN 61010-1:2010.
For this, the intended use of the chamber and all its connections must be observed.

2. Chamber description
BINDER incubators BD and BF and drying and heating ovens ED, FD and FED are equipped with an
electronic PID-controller with digital display.
The incubators BD and BF indicate the temperature with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.
The drying and heating ovens ED, FD and FED indicate the temperature with an accuracy of
one degree.
All chambers are heated electrically. Incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED are ventilated nat-
urally. Incubators BF and drying and heating ovens FD and FED are ventilated by fan-assisted, forced-air
circulation.
The concept of air conduction guarantees high level of spatial and time-based temperature precision,
thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. With BF, FD and FED, the fan supports
exact attainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.
The chambers are regularly equipped with an overtemperature safety device class 1 acc. to
DIN12880:2007 and with an overtemperature safety controller (overtemperature temperature safety de-
vice class 2 or class 3.1 acc. to DIN12880:2007), see chap. 7).
The inner chamber and the inside of the doors are made of stainless steel V2A (German material no.
1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304 and material no. 1.4016, US equivalent AISI 430). Drying and heating
ovens ED, FD and FED: When operating the chambers at temperatures above 150 °C / 302 °F, the im-
pact 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 com-
pletely coated.
All chamber functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features
are easy cleaning of all chamber parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
The chambers are regularly (FED) or optionally equipped with an Ethernet interface for computer com-
munication, e.g. via the APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 12.1) and with a USB
interface to read out the measured values in real time.
The models size 720 are equipped with
four castors. Both front castors can be locked by brakes.
Temperature ranges see technical data (chap. 16.4 - 16.8).

7. Overtemperature protection
7.1 Overtemperature protective device (class 1)
The chambers are regularly equipped with an overtemperature protective device (safety device class 1
acc. to DIN 12880:2007). It serves to protect the chamber, its environment and the contents against ex-
ceeding the maximum permissible temperature. When a defined temperature is reached, which is approx.
by 20 °C to 30 °C above the chamber’s nominal temperature, the overtemperature protective device turns

7.2 Safety controller
The chambers are regularly equipped with an adjustable electronic safety controller. It serves to protect
the chamber, its environment and the contents against exceeding the maximum permissible temperature.
Please observe the DGUV guidelines 213-850 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGI/GUV-I 850-0,
BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119, issued by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Germany).
Depending on the chamber type the safety controller acts as an over temperature safety device class 2
(“temperature limiter”) or class 3.1 (“temperature protection”) acc. to DIN 12880:2007.
Check the setting regularly and adjust it following any changes of the set-point.
• Safety controller class 2 (“temperature limiter”) with ED, FD and FED
The safety controller class 2 limits the temperature inside the chamber to the entered safety controller
set-point. In the event of a fault (if this maximum temperature is exceeded) the safety controller com-
pletely turns off the heating until manual reset. This status is reported visually by an alarm message
and, in case of the option audible alarm with activated buzzer (chap. 7.6) additionally by the buzzer
sounding.
If the safety controller class 2 has turned off the heating, we recommend proceeding as follows:
• Disconnect the chamber from the power supply.
• Have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.
• Restart the chamber
• Reset the alarm message
• Safety controller class 3.1 (“temperature protection”) with BD and BF
The safety controller class 3.1 limits the temperature inside the chamber to the entered safety control-
ler set-point. In the event of a fault (if this maximum temperature is exceeded), it takes over the control
to this value. This status is reported visually by an alarm message and, in case of the option audible
alarm with activated buzzer (chap. 7.6) additionally by the buzzer sounding.
The safety controller keeps control of the chamber until the chamber temperature cools down below
the safety controller set-point value.
If the safety controller class 3.1 has taken over control, we recommend proceeding as follows:
• Disconnect the chamber from the power supply.
• Have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.
• Restart the chamber
• Reset the alarm message
Function check:
Check the safety controller at appropriate intervals for its functionality. It is recommended that the author-
ized operating personnel should perform such a check, e.g., before starting a longer work procedure.
BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 03/2019 page 34/106
7.3 Setting the safety controller set-point
A limit temperature is entered as the safety controller set-point , i.e. the absolute maximum permitted
temperature value.
Example: Temperature set-point 45 °C, safety controller set-point 50 °C.

alarm icon is lit permanently. You can reset the alarm message on the controller. To do this, reset the
alarm message in the safety controller menu with the OK button. The heating is released and tem-
perature control is resumed by the controller.
• Safety controller class 3.1 (“temperature protection”)
The alarm icon flashes in the display. In case of the option audible alarm with activated buzzer (chap.
7.6) the buzzer sounds.

As soon as the inner chamber temperature has cooled down below the safety controller set-point,
You can reset the alarm message in the safety controller menu with the OK button, The heating is re-
leased and temperature control is resumed by the controller.
Note:
When the safety controller class 2 or class 3.1 had been activated, you should disconnect the chamber
from the power supply and have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault.
7.5 Function check
Check the temperature safety device class 2 or class 3.1 at appropriate intervals for its functionality. It is
recommended that the authorized operating personnel should perform such a check, e.g., before starting

9. Ramp function
9.1 General information
You can program temperature ramps in order to extend heating up times. This may be necessary in some
cases to prevent temperature stress in the material during the heating up phase. Temperature ramps
should only be used if required. Using them may result in considerably slowing down the heating up
times. When the ramp function is turned off, the chamber will heat up with its maximum heating capacity.
The entry means the nominal value gradient and limits the maximum temperature increase to this value.
Due to the heat and evaporation energy assumed by the drying material, smaller temperature gradients
may also result.
A ramp proceeds from a previously entered set-point to a new, higher one. The temperature must be
equilibrated to the start set-point. Perform the setting in the following 3 steps:
1. Enter the temperature set-point as start ramp set-point and let the temperature equilibrate to this
value
2. Define the temperature increase (ramp gradient) in °C/min or in °F/min in the setting menu “Ramp
function”
You can select a gradient from „0.0“ up to „1.0“ or from „1“ up to „10“ according to the chamber type.
When setting the gradient to „0.0“ or „0“, ramp function is turned off. The chamber will then heat up
with its maximum heating capacity.
The chamber will try to heat up according to the entered gradient, i.e. with a speed of xx degree per
minute. A heating-up rate of 0.4 °C/min for the incubators BD and BF resp. 4 °C/min for the heating
and drying ovens ED, FD and FED can be regarded as a realistic maximum.
3. Enter the target ramp set-point in the “ramp function” setting menu.
As soon as the entries have been adopted, the ramp function is activated. The chamber heats up with the
entered gradient, if the set ramp target value lies above the actual temperature value.
During ramp operation the effective ramp set-point continually rises in accordance to the entered gradi-
ent from the previously entered set-point to the new one. The actual value follows this continually chang-
ing effective ramp set-point. As soon as the ramp target value is reached, this temperature is maintained
constant.
The actual temperature value, the selected gradient, and the target value are shown in Normal display.
The effective ramp set-point can be seen through the temperature set-point function.

Figure 11: Pin allocation of DIN socket for option analog outputs
12.5 Water protected disconnectable internal socket (option BD, BF)
You can turn on or off the disconnectable water protected internal socket (CA3GD) for line voltage inside
the chamber by the switch in the triangular instrument panel, independent of the incubator operating or
not. Thus, devices operated inside the incubator can be started or stopped without any need to open the
chamber doors.
The internal socket provides a protective conductor, therefore it is possible to connect appliances with
protection class I.
The internal socket is splash proof.
IP system of protection 67 230 V 1N ~ 50-60 Hz. Charge max. 500 W
Maximum permitted operating temperature with this option: 90 °C / 194 °F.
WARNING
Exceeding of the permitted maximum temperature.
Electrical hazard.
Danger of death.
Damage to the internal socket.
∅ Do NOT exceed the temperature set-point of 90 °C / 194 °F.
Set the safety controller class 3.1 to 90 °C / 194 °F.
Heat emission of electrical devices connected inside the chamber may modify the temperature
range.
CAUTION
Risk of short circuit.
Damage to the chamber.
Use the delivered plug only (IP protection type 66). Plug-in the plug and turn it to se-
cure.
If the socket is not used, close the lift-up lid and turn it for securing.
BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 03/2019 page 59/106
Controller shutdown by the standby button has no effect on the internal socket.
WARNING
Internal socket switched on even though controller is shut down.
Electrical hazard.
Turn off the internal socket separately, when not in use, by the switch in the triangular
instrument panel
12.6 HEPA fresh air filter (option for FD, FED)
With this option, the introduced fresh air is cleaned by means of a high efficiency submicron particulate air
filter type HEPA class H 14 (acc. to DIN EN 1822:2009). Replace the filter insert, if necessary, by remov-
ing the metal cover of the filter at the left side of the chamber (Art. No. 6014-0003).
12.7 Mostly gas-tight version (option for BF, FD, FED)
With this option the chamber is additionally sealed, so the loss when introducing gases is decreased. The
chamber is not completely gas-tight, so it is impossible to establish overpressure. The sealing diminishes
the release of vapors via the housing that may be set free from the charging material when heated. Carry-
ing-off via the regular evacuation duct, e.g. into a waste air installation, is likely to further reduce emis-
sions.
The chamber is not completely gas-tight. Gases from inside the chamber can escape into the
surrounding atmosphere.
Observe the occupational exposure limit OEL for the released substance set by the national
authorities (formerly maximum permitted workplace concentration). Respect the relevant
regulations.
Any harmful gas that might escape has to be led out via good room ventilation or a suitable
exhaust system. Place the chamber, if necessary, below a gas vent.
The air flap does not close the exhaust duct completely. The delivered plug serves to avoid emerging of
vapors or loss of introduced inert gas, if any, via the exhaust duct. Due to special demands of heat re-
sistance, use the delivered plug only.
CAUTION
Use of inappropriate plug.
Danger of inflammation.
To close the exhaust duct use the delivered plug only.
For drying purpose, please remove the plug in order to permit dissipation of the generated vapor, which
would lead to condensation in the inner chamber.
12.8 Inert gas connection with mostly gas-tight version (option for BF, FD, FED)
With this option the chamber is additionally sealed, so the loss when introducing inert gases is decreased.
For details on the mostly gas-tight version please refer to chap. 12.7.
The chamber is equipped with two ports for inert gas (nitrogen or noble gases).
The ports are located on the top panel in the middle and on the chamber rear at the bottom right.
Each of these ports can be used as inlet or outlet, depending on the nature of the inert gas:
• lighter gas (nitrogen, helium): lower port as inlet
• heavy gas (e.g. argon): upper port as inlet
This distinction is important when operating with a reduced fan speed.
BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 03/2019 page 60/106
Connection
Observe the legal requirements and relevant standards and regulations for the safe handling of gas cylin-
ders and inert gases.
General information for safe handling of gas cylinders:
• Store and use gas cylinders only in well ventilated areas.
• Open the gas cylinder valve slowly to avoid pressure surges
• Secure gas cylinders during storage and use against falling (chaining).
• Transport gas cylinders with a cylinder cart, do not carry, roll, or throw them
• Always close the valve even with apparently empty cylinders; screw on the cap when not in
use. Return gas cylinders with the valve closed
• Do not open gas cylinders by force. Mark them when damaged
• Observe relevant regulations for dealing with gas cylinders.
Connect a flexible gas tube to the gas hose connection adapter (diameter 10mm), which is used for gas
inlet, and secure it with hose clamps (hose and hose clamps are not enclosed). There is a constant gas
flow after establishing the connection.
After connecting the gas cylinder, check all gas connections for leaks (e.g. with leak spray or
diluted soap solution).
Use a pressure reducer and make sure to avoid any excessive outlet pressure when connecting the gas
hose to the chamber.
The chamber is not entirely gas-tight. Inert gases from inside the chamber can escape into the
surrounding atmosphere.
Inert gases in high concentrations is hazardous to health. They are colorless and almost odorless and
therefore practically imperceptible. Inhalation of inert gases can cause drowsiness up to respiratory ar-
rest. When the O
2
content of the air decreases below 18%, there is risk of death from lack of oxygen. Any
gas that might escape has to be led out via good room ventilation or a suitable exhaust system.
WARNING
High concentration of inert gas.
Risk of death by suffocation.
∅ Do NOT set up chambers in non-ventilated recesses.
Ensure technical ventilation measures.
Respect the relevant regulations for handling these gases.
Inert gases, which are heavier than air, may accumulate in low-lying areas of the installation
site.
The “Mostly gas-tight version” reduces the loss of gas.
Setting (sample values):
If you want to flush the chamber with an air exchange rate of 1 per hour, set the flow rate on the
pressure reducer according to the interior volume.
Chamber with 56 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 56 l / h is 0.9 l / min.
Chamber with 115 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 115 l / h is 1.9 l / min.
Chamber with 260 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 260 l / h is 4.3 l / min.
The air flap does not close the exhaust duct completely. The delivered plug serves to avoid loss of intro-
duced inert gas via the exhaust duct. Due to special demands of heat resistance, use the delivered plug
only.
BD / BF / ED / FD / FED (E3.1) 03/2019 page 61/106
CAUTION
Use of inappropriate plug.
Danger of inflammation.
To close the exhaust duct use the delivered plug only.
For drying purpose, please remove the plug in order to permit dissipation of the generated vapor, which
would lead to condensation in the inner chamber.

16. Technical description
16.1 Factory calibration and adjustment
This chamber was 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 sys-
tems. They are controlled and calibrated to a DKD-Standard at regular intervals.

USE
= (A - 2a) x (B - 2b) x (C - 2c)
Figure 12: Determination of the useable volume
The technical data refers to the 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.
16.3 Over current protection
Single-phase devices are protected by one (UL chambers) or two miniature fuses against over current,
accessible from the outside. The miniature fuses are located at the rear of the chamber above the power
cable connection. Each fuse holder is equipped with a fuse clip 5mm x 20 mm (cUL-Version 6,3x32 mm).
A fuse may be replaced only with a substitute of the same ratings. Refer to the technical data of the re-
spective device type.
Two-phase devices are equipped with a resettable miniature circuit breaker (combination element).
Three-phase devices are equipped with an internal miniature circuit breaker.
