The chamber is regularly equipped with an Ethernet interface (4) that can connect the APT-COM™ 4 Multi
Management Software. The MAC Address is indicated in the “Device info” controller menu (chap. 15.5.1.2).
The actual temperature values are given at adjustable intervals. Programming can be performed graphically
via PC. Up to 100 chambers can be cross-linked. For further information on networking please refer to the
APT-COM™ 4 operating manual.
There are three variants available:
• APT-COM™ 4 BASIC-Edition – for simple recording and documentation requirements with up to 5 net-
worked chambers.
• APT-COM™ 4 PROFESSIONAL-Edition – including scope of BASIC-Edition, additionally with conven-
ient chamber and user management, suitable for networking up to 100 chambers.

working under GLP-compliant conditions. The measured values are documented in a tamper-proof man-
ner in accordance with the requirements of the FDA guideline 21CFR11.
18.2 Object temperature display with flexible Pt100 temperature sensor (option)
The object temperature display enables the determination of the actual temperature of the charging material
during the whole process. The object temperature is measured via a flexible Pt100 temperature sensor and
can be viewed on the controller display. You can immerse the sensor top protective tube of the flexible Pt
100 into liquid substances.
Normal display with object temperature display
(sample values)
The object temperature data are put out together with the data of the temperature controller and can be
documented by the APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 18.1) developed by BINDER.
