2. Chamber description
BINDER incubators with forced convection BF are equipped with an electronic PID-controller with digital
display. The temperature is indicated with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.
The chambers are heated electrically and are ventilated by fan-assisted, forced-air circulation.
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 chambers are regularly equipped with a temperature safety device according to DIN12880:2007
(chap. 7).
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). The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All
corners and edges are also completely 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 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. 12.5.
The model BF 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
+100 °C 212 °F.
