Binder KBF P 240 - Location of Installation and Ambient Conditions

KBF P + KBF LQC + KBWF (E6) 11/2016 page 24/189
With temperatures below +3 °C / 37.4 °F, water must be completely removed from the humidifying sys-
tem.
CAUTION
Storage below +3 °C / 37.4 °F with filled steam humidifying system.
Freezing in the steam generator.
Damage to the chamber.
 Contact BINDER Service before any transportation below +3 °C / 37.4 °F.
Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing
CAUTION
Condensation by excess humidity.
Danger of corrosion on the housing
after operating at humidity values > 70 % r.H. for
a long period.
 Dry the chamber completely before shut-down:
• Set the humidity to 0 % r.H. To enable dehumidification, the humidifying and dehu-
midifying system must be activated (deactivated operation line
“Humidity off”, chap.
8.4 and setting “Control on”, chap. 6.3).
• Set the temperature set point to 60 °C / 140 °F for approx. 2 hours (Manual mode).
• Only then, shut down the chamber at the main power switch (1) and close the tap of
the water supply.
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 one hour until the chamber has attained ambient temperature
and is completely dry.
3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the chamber on a flat, even surface, and in a well-ventilated, dry location and align it using a spirit
level. The site of installation must be capable of supporting the chamber’s weight (see technical data,
chap. 25.4). The chambers are designed for setting up inside a building (indoor use).
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the chamber.
∅ Do NOT set up chamber in non-ventilated recesses.
 Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during operation: +18 °C / 64.4 °F to +32 °C / 89.6 °F. At
elevated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient tem-
perature of +22 °C +/- 3 °C / 71.6 °F ± 5.4 °F to which the specified technical data relate. Devi-
ations from the indicated data are possible for other ambient conditions. Lower values of the
temperature range indicated in the technical data are valid at an ambient temperature of max.
25 °C / 77 °F.
With each degree of ambient temperature >25 °C / 77 °F, the refrigeration power decreases by
1.5 K.
