2. Unit description
BINDER incubators BD and heating ovens ED and FD are equipped with an electronic PID-controller with
digital display.
The incubators BD indicate the temperature with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.
The heating ovens ED and FD indicate the temperature with an accuracy of one degree.
The incubators BD and the heating ovens ED are heated electrically and are ventilated naturally. Heating
ovens FD are ventilated by fan-assisted, forced-air circulation.
BINDER incubators BD and heating ovens ED and FD are regularly equipped with a temperature safety
device according to DIN12880 (chap. 7).
The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the inside of the doors are all made
of stainless steel
(material no. 1.4301 in Germany). When operating the heating ovens ED and FD at temperatures above
150 °C / 302 °F, the impact 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 unit. The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and
edges are also completely coated.
BINDER incubators BD and heating ovens ED (option) are equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for
computer communication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem
(option, chap. 8.2). For further options, see chap. 12.7 to 12.9.
The models size 720 are equipped with
four castors. Both front castors can be locked by brakes.
Temperature range:
• Incubators BD: 5 °C / 9 °F above room temperature up to 100 °C / 212 °F.
• Heating ovens ED and FD: 5 °C / 9 °F above room temperature up to 300 °C /
572 °F.
If you want to frequently operate heating ovens ED and FD at low set-points up to 70 °C /
158 °F, the controller parameters can be optimized accordingly. Please contact BINDER
Service to obtain detailed instructions how to change the parameters.
