22. Options
22.1 APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management software (Option)
The chamber is regularly equipped with an Ethernet interface (3) that can connect the BINDER APT-
COM™ 4 Multi Management Software.
• RD4 controller: The MAC Address is indicated in the “Ethernet” controller menu (chap. 17.1.1.1).
• MB2 controller: MAC Address is indicated in the “Device info” controller menu (chap. 17.2.1.2).
The actual temperature and pressure values are given at adjustable intervals. Programming can be
performed graphically via PC. Up to 100 chambers can be cross-linked. For further information please
refer to the APT-COM™ 4 operating manual.
22.2 Analog outputs for temperature and pressure (option)
With this option, the camber is equipped with analog outputs 4-20 mA for temperature and pressure.
These outputs allow transmitting data to external data registration systems or devices.
The connection is realized as a 9-poles SUB-D socket “Analog output” (10) located in the VD rear control
panel as follows:
ANALOG OUTPUT 4-20 mA DC
PIN 1: Temperature +
PIN 2: Temperature –
PIN 4: Pressure +
PIN 5: Pressure –
Temperature range: 0 °C to +220 °C
Pressure range: 0 mbar to 1100 mbar
A suitable plug is enclosed.

22.3 Measuring access port for vacuum, 9 poles (option)
The measuring access port allows creating electrical connections for low voltages or sensors between the
exterior and interior of the VD vacuum drying oven. A 9 poles plug for the outside is included.

port and supplied plug
Connections at the measuring access port
• At the inner side of the measuring access port you can solder up to 9 cables. The inside connections
must be insulated against each other and against ground. Use 300 °C / 572 °F solder.
• The 9 contacts are conducted outside via the measuring access port. You can use them to connect a
device via the delivered plug.
