FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 11/90
2. Chamber description
BINDER drying and heating ovens with forced convection and program functions FP are equipped with
the electronic program controller RD3 with digital display. This allows programming of temperature cycles
and an individual fan speed setting for each program section. The chamber provides almost unlimited
possibilities for adaptation to individual customer requirements based upon extensive programming
options and on the week program timer and real time clock of the controller.
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. The fan speed is digitally adjustable
from 0 % to 100%.
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 inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the inside of the doors are all made of stainless steel
V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). When operating the chamber at
temperatures above 150 °C, the influence of the oxygen in the air may cause coloration 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 completely coated.
The chambers are regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer communication, e.g. via
the APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 15.1). For further options, see chap. 19.5.
The model FP 720 is equipped with
four castors. Both front castors can be locked by brakes.
The chambers can be operated in a temperature range of 5 °C / 9 °F above ambient temperature up to
300 °C / 572 °F.

9.84 in between each chamber. Wall distances: rear 100 mm / 3.94 in, sides 160 mm / 6.30 in. Spacing
above the chamber of at least 100 mm / 3.94 in must also be accounted for.
Two devices up to size 115l can be stacked on top of each other. For this purpose, place rubber pads
under all four feet of the upper chamber to prevent the device from slipping.
CAUTION
Sliding or tilting of the upper chamber.
Damage to the chambers.
When stacking, place rubber pads under all four feet of the upper chamber.
To completely separate the chamber from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug. Install
the chamber in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger.
For the user there is no risk of temporary overvoltages in the sense of EN 61010-1:2010.
The chamber must NOT be installed and operated 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 vicinity of the chamber.

• The domestic socket must also provide a protective conductor. Make sure that the connection of the
protective conductor of the domestic installations to the chamber’s protective conductor meets the
latest technology. The protective conductors of the socket and plug must be compatible!
• Prior to connection and start-up, check the power supply voltage. Compare the values to the data
specified on the type plate of the chamber (chamber front behind the door, bottom left-hand, chap.
1.4).
• When connecting, please observe the regulations specified by the local electricity supply company
and as well as the VDE directives (for Germany). We recommend the use of a residual current circuit
breaker.
• Pollution degree (acc. to IEC 61010-1): 2
• Over-voltage category (acc. to IEC 61010-1): II
CAUTION
Danger of incorrect power supply voltage.
Damage to the equipment.
Check the power supply voltage before connection and start-up.
Compare the power supply voltage with the data indicated on the type plate.
See also electrical data (chap. 19.4).
To completely separate the chamber from the power supply, you must disconnect the power
plug. Install the chamber in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily
pulled in case of danger.
FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 17/90
4.2 Connection to a suction plant (optional)
Active suction from the chamber must only be effected together with external air. Therefore, the
chamber’s exhaust air duct shall not be immediately connected to an active exhaust system.
When connecting to an active exhaust system, proceed as follows:
• Perforate the connecting piece between the exhaust air duct and the exhaust system.
Or
• Use an exhaust air funnel placed in a distance of 3-5 cm / 1 to 2 in from the exhaust air duct. The
funnel’s opening must be at least twice as large as the diameter of the exhaust air duct.
If improperly connected to an active exhaust/ventilation system, the spatial temperature
exactitude (uniformity), the heating-up and recovering times as well as the maximum
temperature of the chamber may be negatively affected.
CAUTION
The exhaust duct will become hot during operation.
Danger of burning.
∅ Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation.
5. Start up
Having connected the electrical supply (chap. 4.1), turn on the chamber by the main power switch (1).
Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a
quality defect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal
temperature for one day and in a well-ventilated location.
5.1 Air change
Opening the air flap in the exhaust duct serves to adjust the air change.
Without connecting a suction plant:
• If the air flap is open and the fan is operating, fresh air comes in via aeration gaps.
• If the air flap is completely open, the spatial temperature accuracy can be negatively influenced.
5.2 Settings at the RD3 program controller
After turning the chamber on with the main power switch (1) the controller is in Normal Display / fixed
value operation mode.
Depending on the temperature value entered before LED (3a) is lit if the heating is active, or no LED if the
actual temperature is equal to or above the set-point.

The program controller RD3 allows programming of temperature cycles. For each program section also
the fan speed can be regulated.
Two programs with up to 10 sections each or one program with up to 20 sections can be entered (setting
in the user level, chap. 10).
When changing from 2 programs to 1 program or vice-versa, existing programs are deleted
The maximum length of an individual program section can be set to either 99 hs 59 min or to 999 hs 59
min (setting in the user level, chap. 10). This setting is then valid for all program sections.
Programming can be done directly via the controller keyboard or graphically at the computer using the
APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 15.1) specially developed by BINDER.

6. Fixed value entry mode
If you do not want to use the week program timer, inactivate it (factory setting, setting in the
user level, chap. 10) before entering set-points. Any setting of the operation lines in fixed
value entry mode is ineffective with active week program timer.
Basic entry principle: Call up the individual parameters with button X/W one after the other. Enter the
values with the arrow keys. A value flashing once after 2 seconds indicates that it has been taken over to
the controller.

FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 21/90
If the fan is operated with less than 100 % speed, the temperature performance and the
spatial exactitude of the temperature can differ from the manufacturer’s specifications. Do
reduce the fan speed only if absolutely necessary due to special requirements.
The values entered in fixed-value entry mode remain valid after program run-off and are then
equilibrated.
If the week program timer is active, another set-point (SP2) might be targeted according to programming.
Temperatures too high for the introduced solvent quantity can occur. Inactivate the week program timer if
you do not use it (default setting, setting in the User level, chap. 10).
CAUTION
Too high or too low temperature.
Damage to the charging material.
Inactivate the week program timer if you do not use it.
7. Week program editor
The Week program editor allows defining up to 4 shift point for each week day. A shift point defines a
moment and the switching state ON or OFF of the channels getting active at this moment.
Channel function:
• Channel 1 On = Set-point 2 is equilibrated.
• Channel 1 Off = Set-point 1 is equilibrated
• Channel 2 = reserve
The week program timer is first set to inactive (factory setting). Thus you need to activate the
week program timer in the user level (chap. 10).

8. Program editor
8.1 Selecting between set-point ramp and set-point step
You can program various kinds of temperature transitions. In the user level (chap. 10) you can select
between the settings “Ramp” (default setting) and “Step”.
Setting “Ramp” allows programming all kinds of temperature transitions.
With setting “Step” the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures; programming
ramps becomes impossible.
A change between settings “Ramp” and “Step” will influence all programs. This can
remarkably change the time courses of existing programs.
8.1.1 Programming with setting “Ramp” (default setting)
Set-points always refer to the start of a program section, i.e., at the beginning of each program section,
the entered set-point will be reached. During program section operation, the temperature gradually
passes to the set-point entered for the following program section.
By appropriate design of the program section timing, all kinds of temperature transitions can be
programmed:
• Gradual temperature changes “set-point ramp“
The set-point gradually moves from one set-point to the one of the following program section during a
given interval. The actual temperature value (X) follows the continually moving set-point (W) at any
moment.
• Program sections with constant temperature
The initial values of two subsequent program sections are identical; therefore the temperature is kept
constant during the whole time of the first program section.
• Sudden temperature changes “set-point step”
Steps are temperature changes (ramps) that occur during a very short interval. Two program sections
with an identical set-point are followed by a section with a different set-point. If the duration of this
transitional program section is very short (minimum entry 1 min), the temperature change will proceed
rapidly in the possible minimum time.

The values of such a program table can now be entered to the RD3 program controller (chap. 8.2).
The end point of the desired cycle must be programmed with an additional section (in our examples S05
for set-point ramp and S08 for set-point step) with a section time of at least one minute. Otherwise the
program will stop one section too early because the program line is incomplete.
8.1.2 Programming with setting “step”
With setting “Step” selected, you don’t need to program the transition section in the Program Editor.
With setting “step” the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures; programming
ramps becomes impossible.
The set-points are maintained constant for the duration of the program section. At the start of each
program section, the chamber heats up in order to attain the entered set-point as fast as possible.

8.1.3 General advice for the programming of temperature transitions
If the tolerance limits set in the user level (chap. 10) are exceeded, the program is halted until the actual
temperature value is again situated in the tolerance range. During this program interruption the LED (3d)
flashes. Therefore, the duration of the program might be extended due to the programming of tolerances
Programming is conserved even in case of power failure or after turning off the chamber.
After program rundown the controller returns to fixed value operation showing Normal Display and
equilibrates to the temperature value previously entered in fixed value entry mode.
Before starting the program, check the set-point value entered in fixed value entry mode.
After program rundown temperature will equilibrate to this value.
Inactivate the week program timer (factory setting, setting in the user level, chap. 10) before
starting a program.
8.2 Set-point entry for program operation
From Normal Display the program editor is accessed by hitting button X/W for 5 sec. Here the set-points
are entered one after the other in all program sections of a selected program.
Two programs with up to 10 sections each or one program with up to 20 sections can be entered (setting
in the user level, chap. 10).
In order to avoid incorrect programming the values of the program course should be entered into a table
(template in chap. 8.3).

If you delete a program section which is followed by further sections, those following move up
to the place of the deleted section.
In our example section S03 has been deleted. Sections S04, S05, etc., in case they have been
programmed earlier, will now receive the preceding sections numbers, i.e., S04 is now called S03 etc.
It is thus not possible to temporarily inactivate a program section, but deletion leads to overwriting the
section by the following one. To enter a section later to a program also the sections following the new one
must be entered again.
9. Program start level
Before starting the program, check the set-point entered in Fixed value operation mode. After end of the
program, the temperature will equilibrate to this value. This value must not exceed the permitted drying
temperature for the used solvent quantity.
CAUTION
Too high or too low temperature after end of program.
Damage to the charging material.
Check the set-point of Fixed value operation and if necessary adapt it.
After end of the program, the temperature will equilibrate to the set-point entered in Fixed value operation
mode. If the week program timer is active, another set-point (SP2) might be targeted according to
programming. Inactivate the week program timer before starting the program (default setting, setting in
the User level, chap. 10).
CAUTION
Too high or too low temperature after end of program.
Damage to the charging material.
Inactivate the week program timer before starting the program.
In a first step a program is selected. This on condition that a program has been entered previously (chap.
8.2) and that program type “2 programs with 10 sections each” has been selected in the user level (chap.
10).
Then the settings for the program course are defined. Two parameters can be set:
• Program delay time, i.e. a defined time before program start. It can be entered with precision of 1 min
and is max. 99.59 (99 hs 59 min). If the value is 00.00 the program is started without any delay.
• Number of program cycles, i.e. the desired number of program repeats. Values from 1 to 99 can be
entered. If the program is not to be repeated, enter value 0. For infinite repeats enter value –1. The
program is repeated as a whole, it is not possible to repeat individual sections.
In a last step the selected program is started. These steps must be carried out subsequently.
FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 35/90

10. User level
In this menu the following parameters can be se (in brackets the corresponding abbreviated information
given in display 2):
• Chamber address (Adress)
Setting of controller address (1 to 255) for operation with the APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management
Software.
• User code (User-cod)
Modification of the user code setting (factory setting 0001) for access to the user level and the
program editor.
Keep in mind any modification of the user code. There is no access to these levels
without a valid user code.
• Decimal point position (Decimal)
Selection if integer values or one position after the decimal point can be entered. The integer
representation is displayed in Display 2 (set-point entry) while the actual value in Display 1 is always
displayed with one decimal point.
• Buzzer (Buzzer)
Inactive: no audible signal (buzzer) in case of an alarm event.
Active: in case of an alarm event (see chap. 13.2) an audible signal (buzzer) will run. It can be reset

run. Maximum setting: 9999. Reaching the limit has no effect.
• Reset operating hours (Op.back)
Reset operating hours to zero.
• Interface protocol (Protocol)
“Modbus”: The chamber interface can be used as a communication interface to connect it to a
computer. This serves to control the chamber by the APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software. It is
possible to read and write the values of all parameters.
“Printer”: A protocol printer for data printouts can be connected to the chamber interface. The printer
regularly protocols the actual temperature value with fixed formatting and with adjustable print
intervals.
In both cases an interface converter RS 422 / RS 232 is used.
• Print interval (Prt.-Inv.)
Setting of the print interval in minutes. Function available only if setting “Printer” has been selected in
the previous menu point.
• Display illumination (Disp.LED)
Selection between continuous display illumination and limited illumination that will automatically go off
300 sec after the last entry.
• Program type selection (PrgSelec)
Select between entry of two programs with up to 10 sections each or of one program with up to 20

When changing from 2 programs to 1 program or vice-versa, existing programs are
deleted in the program editor.
• Maximum section duration (Prg.Time)
The maximum length of an individual program section can be set to either 99 hs 59 min or to 999 hs
59 min. This setting is then valid for all program sections.
When changing the maximum duration setting, pre-existing programs will be deleted in
the program editor.
• Set-point programming type (Setp.sim)
Selection between “Ramp” and “Step”. With setting „Step“ selected, you don’t need to program the
transition section in the Program Editor.
If you select setting “step”, the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures;
programming ramps becomes impossible.
A change between settings “ramp” and “step” will influence all programs. This can
remarkably change the time courses of existing programs.
FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 38/90
• Tolerance limit range (Tol.band)
Entry of a tolerance limit value in °C. If the actual value of temperature exceeds the set-point of a

12. Example programming for the Program editor
12.1 Desired time function
From Monday to Friday the chamber shall maintain a temperature of +60 °C, and during the week-end
(Saturday and Sunday) a temperature of +30 °C.
This program shall automatically run during the whole year, i.e. it shall be programmed just once.
12.2 Proceeding overview
1. Settings in the user level (see chap. 10)
• Set maximum section duration (Prg. Time) to 999 hs. 59 min.
The maximum length of a program section can be set – in common for all program sections – to 99 hs
59 min or to 999 hs 59 min. Select setting 999:59.
When changing the maximum duration setting, pre-existing programs will be deleted in
the program editor.
• Turning off the tolerance limits function
Select setting “0” meaning tolerance limits off. Thus an interruption of the program course during the
heating-up or cooling-down phases during the rapid “set-point step” phase is avoided.
• Inactivating the week program timer
Inactivate the week program timer before entering a program (factory setting). Otherwise, any setting
of the operation lines in the program editor is ineffective.

3. Set the number of cycles to infinite in the program start level and start the program
The described example program must be started once at the precise moment of temperature
change (on Monday e.g., at 0.01 or at 7.00). If the program cannot be manually started at the
desired moment, you can program a suitable program delay-time of 99 hs. 59 min. max. After
rundown of this delay time the program starts automatically (chap. 9).

14. Temperature safety devices
14.1 Temperature safety device class 2 (DIN 12880)
The temperature safety device class 2 acc. to DIN 12880:2007 protects the chamber, its environment and
the charging material from 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).
In the event of a fault in the temperature controller, the safety device (2) permanently turns off the
chamber. This status is reported visually by the indicator lamp (2a).
Check the operation of the safety device (2) by moving it slowly counter-clockwise until the chamber turns
off. The safety device cut-off is reported visually by the indicator lamp (2a).
Then release again the safety device by pressing the reset button (2b), and turn on the chamber as
described.
Figure 8: Safety thermostat class 2
Function:
The safety device class 2 is functionally and electrically independent of the temperature control device
and turns off the chamber permanently.
If you turn the control knob (2) to its end stop (position 10), the safety device protects the appliance. If
you set it to a temperature a little above the controller’s set-point temperature, it protects the charging
material.
(2)
(2a)
(2b)
FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 57/90
If the safety device has turned off the chamber, identifiable by the red alarm lamp (2a), lighting up,
proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the chamber from the power supply
• Have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault
• Release the safety device by pressing the reset button (2b)
• Start the chamber again as described in chap. 5
Setting:
To check the response temperature of the safety device, turn on the chamber and set the desired set-
point at the temperature controller.
The scale division from 1 to 10 corresponds to the temperature range from 30 °C up to 320 °C and
serves as a setting aid.
• Turn the control knob (2) of the safety device using a coin to its
end-stop (position 10) (chamber protection).
•
When the set point is reached, turn back the control knob (2) until
its trip point (turn it counter-clockwise).
•
The trip point is identifiable by the red alarm lamp (2a) lighting up;
the reset button (2b) pops out.
• The
optimum setting of the safety device is obtained by turning the
knob clockwise by approx. one graduation mark on the scale.
• Push the reset button (2b) in again.
Figure 9: Setting the safety
device class 2
The chamber is only active with the reset button (2b) pushed in.
When the safety device class 2 responds, the red alarm lamp (2a) illuminates, the reset button (2b) pops
out, and the chamber turns off permanently.
Check the safety device with every change of the set point value and readjust it if necessary.
Function check:
Check the temperature safety device class 2 at appropriate intervals for its functionality. It is
recommended that the authorized operating personnel should perform such a check, e.g., before starting
a longer work procedure.
14.2 Temperature safety device class 3.1 (DIN 12880) (option)
The temperature safety device class 3.1 acc. to DIN 12880:2007 protects the chamber, its environment
and the charging material from exceeding the maximum permissible temperature. In the event of a fault, it
limits the temperature inside the oven to the value set on the safety device.
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).
FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 58/90
Figure 10: Temperature safety device class 3.3
Function:
The temperature safety device is functionally and electrically independent of the temperature control
system and if an error occurs it performs a regulatory function.
If you turn the control knob (2) to its end-stop (position 10), the safety device class 3.1 protects the
chamber. If you set it to a temperature a little above the controller’s set-point temperature, it protects the
charging material.
If the safety device class 3.1 has taken over control, identifiable by the red alarm lamp (2a) lighting up,
proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the chamber from the power supply
• Have an expert examine and rectify the cause of the fault
• Start up the chamber again as described in chap. 5
Setting:
To check the response temperature of the safety device class 3.1, turn on the chamber and set the
desired set-point at the temperature controller.
The sections of the scale from 1 to 10 correspond to the temperature range from 63 °C to 350 °C and
serve as a setting aid.
• Turn the control knob (2) of the safety device using a coin to its end-

FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 61/90
15.7 Mostly gas-tight version (option for FP 53 and FP 115)
With this option the drying and heating oven 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. Carrying-off via the regular evacuation duct, e.g. into a waste air installation, is likely to
further reduce emissions.
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
resistance, 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.
15.8 Inert gas connection with mostly gas-tight version (option for FP 53 and FP
115)
With this option the drying and heating oven is additionally sealed, so the loss when introducing inert
gases is decreased. For details on the mostly gas-tight version please refer to chap. 15.7.
The drying and heating oven 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 right side 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
Connection
Observe the legal requirements and relevant standards and regulations for the safe handling of gas
cylinders and inert gases.
FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 62/90
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 oven.
The chamber is not completely gas-tight. Inert gases from inside the chamber can escape into
the surrounding atmosphere.
Inert gases in high concentrations are hazardous to health. They are colorless and almost odorless and
therefore practically imperceptible. Inhalation of inert gases can cause drowsiness up to respiratory
arrest. 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.
FP 53 with 53 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 53 l / h is 0.9 l / min.
FP 115 with 115 l internal volume: The flow rate corresponding to 115 l / h is 1.9 l / min.
Without the “Mostly gas-tight version” option, you may need to slightly increase the flow rate.
FP (E1.1) 03/2019 page 63/90
The air flap does not close the exhaust duct completely. The delivered plug serves to avoid loss of
introduced inert gas via the exhaust duct. Due to special demands of heat resistance, 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.

Figure 14: Determination of the usable volume
The technical data refers to the so defined usable space.
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 and humidity.
