DANGER
Electrical hazard by water entering the chamber.
Deadly electric shock.
∅ The chamber must NOT become wet during operation, cleaning, or maintenance.
∅ Do NOT install the chamber in damp areas or in puddles.
Set up the chamber in a way that it is splash-proof.
The chambers were produced in accordance with VDE regulations and were routinely tested in accordance
to VDE 0411-1 (IEC 61010-1).
During and shortly after operation, the temperature of the inner surfaces almost equals the set-point. The
glass doors and glass door handles (BD-S / BD-S-UL), inner chamber, exhaust air flap, door window (op-
tion), and the door gaskets will become hot during operation.
CAUTION
Danger of burning by touching hot chamber parts during operation.
Burns.
∅ Do NOT touch the glass doors, inner surfaces, exhaust air flap, door window, access
ports, door gaskets, or the charging material during operation.
∅ FD-S / FD-S-UL: Do not place the power cable over the door gap when the chamber is
hot after operation.
1.8 Intended use
Observing the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance
work (chap. 13) is part of the intended use.
Any use of the chambers that does not comply with the requirements specified in this Operating
Manual shall be considered improper use.
Other applications than those described in this chapter are not approved.
Use
The chambers are suitable for exact tempering of harmless materials and for drying and heat treatment of
solid or pulverized charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat. They can be used
to dry e.g. glassware, and for warm storage of liquids in containers.
Because of their precise temperature accuracy the incubators BD-S / BD-S-UL are especially useful for
incubation of cultures at a standard temperature of 37 °C / 98.6 °F.
Do NOT use the chamber for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.
Requirements for the chamber load
A solvent content must not be explosive or flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging material
with air must NOT be explosive. The operating temperature must lie below the flash point or below the
sublimation point of the charging material. Any component of the charging material must NOT be able to
release toxic gases.
The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the machine compo-
nents. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive damage caused by such
ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
