1.5 General safety instructions on installing and operating the high perform-
ance temperature chamber
With regard to operating the high performance temperature chamber M and to the installation location,
please observe regulations BGR 120 issued by the German professional association for the chemical
industry (formerly ZH 1/119 laboratory guidelines issued by employers’ liability insurance association) (for
Germany).
BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the unit provided skilled electricians or quali-
fied personnel authorized by BINDER perform all maintenance and repair, and if components relating to
chamber safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts.
To operate the unit, use only original BINDER accessories or accessories from third-party suppliers au-
thorized by BINDER. The user is responsible for any risk caused by using unauthorized accessories.

DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅
Do NOT operate the unit in potentially explosive areas.
∅
KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the unit.
The high performance temperature chamber M does not possess any measures for explosion protection.
DANGER

Danger of death.
∅
Do NOT introduce any combustible or explosive substance at working temperature into
the high performance temperature chamber.
∅
NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable. I.e., irrespective of
the solvent concentration in the steam room, NO explosive mixture with air must form. The temperature
inside the chamber must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material.
Familiarize yourself with the physical and chemical properties of the charging material, as well as the
contained moisture constituent and its behavior with the addition of heat energy.
Familiarize yourself with any potential health risks caused by the charging material, the contained mois-
ture constituent or by reaction products that may arise during the temperature process. Take adequate
measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the high performance temperature chamber into opera-
tion.
