Temperature ranges:
Setting range: -50°C / -58°F up to 180°C / 356°F.
Control range: - 40ºC / -40°F up to + 180ºC / 356°F.
With set-point type “
Limit
”, adapt the safety controller (chap. 11.2) every time the set-point for
temperature is changed. Set the safety controller set-point by about 5°C to 10°C above the
desired temperature set-point.
Recommended setting: Set-point type “
Offset
” with safety controller set-point 5°C.
In case of the optional over-/under temperature safety device (chap. 11.3), check also the
temperature limits entered there, and adjust them if necessary.
In Manual Mode, no program can be started. A set-point can be entered for temperature. The actual val-
ue equilibrates to this set-point.
When pushing the EXIT button in Manual Mode, the controller changes to Idle Mode. The set-points en-
tered in Manual Mode remain saved.
When incidentally pressing the EXIT button during Manual Mode operation, the controller will
change to Idle Mode and thus will not adjust any more to the program set-points.
We recommend keyboard locking (chap. 14.4, available via BINDER Individual) during opera-
tion.
For a negative set-point entry, enter the numerical value first and only then the negative sign
(-).
8.2 Behavior after power failure in Manual Mode
In Manual Mode (HAND), all functions reinstate exactly to the same situation the chamber had before
power failure. The set-point is immediately resumed, the states of the operation lines are effected. The
power failure is noted in the event list. No error message indicating that a power failure has taken place is
displayed.
9. Program operation
The 1-channel program controller MB1 permits programming temperature cycles. It offers 25 program
memory positions with 100 program sections each. The total of program sections of all programs is lim-
ited to 500. It is not possible to link several programs.
For each program section a temperature set-point and the switching-state of up to 8 operation lines can
be entered. Operating line 1 is used to control the bedew protection (chap. 10). Operation lines 2 to 5 can
be used to switch any device connected to the zero-voltage relay outputs (DIN sockets (8) and (9), chap.
14.6). The other operation lines are non-functional.
Programming is possible directly by the keypad of the controller or graphically by the software APT-
COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 14.1) specially developed by BINDER.
