CAUTION
Sliding or tilting of the chamber.
Damage to the chamber.
Risk of injury by lifting heavy loads.
 Transport the chamber in its original packaging only.

• Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: 10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F.
You can order transport packing for moving or shipping purposes from BINDER service.
3.3 Storage
Intermediate storage of the chamber is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for
temporary decommissioning (chap. 20.2).
• Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F.
• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the chamber to its warmer installation site,
condensation may form. Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the chamber has attained ambient
temperature and is completely dry.
3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Notes on the location of installation
Set up the chamber on a flat, even surface, free from vibration and in a well-ventilated, dry location. The
chambers are designed for setting up inside a building (indoor use).
Freestanding chamber are suitable for installation on tables or on the optionally available stand (height
200 mm / 0.5 ft). Note: The site of installation must be capable of supporting the chamber’s weight (see
technical data, chap.22.4).
Align the chamber using a spirit level to ensure even covering of the cell-cultures with the medium. For
this purpose, manually adjust the four chamber feet.
The chambers can be stacked on top of each other (two chambers maximum). For safe stacking that is
easy to maintain, use the original BINDER stacking stand (chap. 15.8.1) or the stacking adapter (chap.
15.8.2).
CAUTION
Sliding of stacked chamber.
Damage to the chambers.
 When stacking, use rubber pads (Art. No. 8012-0376) for the 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.
