With temperatures below +3 °C / 37.4 °F, water must be completely removed from the humidifying sys-
tem.
NOTICE
Danger of freezing in the steam generator when storing the chamber below +3 °C /
37.4 °F with filled steam humidifying system.
Damage to the chamber.
Contact BINDER Service before any storage below +3 °C / 37.4 °F.
Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.h., non-condensing
After extensive operation at humidity levels > 70% r.h., condensation from excessive humidity can lead to
corrosion during storage. In this case the chamber must first be dried.
NOTICE
Danger of corrosion on the housing due to condensation by excess humidity after
operating at humidity values > 70 % r.h. for a long period.
Damage to the chamber.
Let the chamber dry for several days before shut-down:
Set the humidity to 0 % r.h. To enable dehumidification, the humidifying and dehu-
midifying system must be acti
vated (deactivated operation line “Humidity off”, chap.
7.3 and setting “Control on”, chap. 6.3).
Set the temperature set point to 60 °C / 140 °F
(Manual mode). Let the chamber
operate for approx. 2 hours with closed door. Remove the access port plugs.
Only then, shut down the chamber at the
main power switch (1) and close the tap of
the water supply.
After drying the chamber for decommissioning, the humidity value will approximate ambient
humidity.
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the chamber to its warmer installation site, condensa-
tion may form. Before start-up, wait at least two hours until the chamber has attained ambient tempera-
ture and is completely dry and the oil in the compressors has warmed up.
In case of a prolonged temporal decommissioning, leave the chamber door open or remove the access
port plugs.
3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the chamber on a flat, even and non-flammable surface, free from vibration, and in a well-
ventilated, dry location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of support-
ing the chamber’s weight (see technical data, chap. 25.4). The chambers are designed for setting up in-
side a building (indoor use).
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the chamber to its warmer installation site, condensa-
tion may form. Before start-up, wait at least two hours until the chamber has attained ambient tempera-
ture and is completely dry and the oil in the compressors has warmed up.
NOTICE
Danger of overheating due to lack of ventilation.
Damage to the chamber.
Do NOT install the chamber in unventilated recesses.
Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
Observe the prescribed minimum distances when installing the chamber.
