(option)
The external bottle changer permits automatic switching to a second gas cylinder as soon as the first
cylinder is empty. It can be used for a maximum of two CB chambers.
Instructions 7001-0196 delivered with the external bottle changer (Art. no. 8012-0408)
describe its installation and operation.
18.8 Stands
18.8.1 Stacking stand (option)
We recommend not stacking CB incubators directly on top of one another in order to avoid transmission
of shocks and vibrations from one chamber to the other. This could happen e.g. while opening or closing
the door, cleaning, charging and discharging the chamber. BINDER offers stable, vibration-free stands
with castors (2 lockable by brakes) for the safe stacking of two chambers.
The stacking stand ensures that the set incubation parameters are precisely maintained also during
sterilization of the other chamber in the same stacking stand (chap. 21.3) by thermal decoupling.
Using the stacking stand offers more advantages: You can pull the lower chamber forward separately
(e.g., for access to the rear), and not have to place it directly on the floor (important for sanitary purpose).
The mounting instructions 7001-0194 delivered with the stacking stand describe its
installation (Art. No. 9051-0020 for CB 170, Art. No. 9051-0023 for CB 260).
18.8.2 Stacking adapter for direct thermal decoupled stacking (option)
We recommend not stacking CB incubators directly on top of one another in order to avoid transmission
of shocks and vibrations from one chamber to the other. This could happen e.g. while opening or closing
the door, cleaning, loading and unloading the chamber. BINDER offers a stacking adapter for direct
thermal decoupled stacking of two chamber.
The stacking adapter ensures the exact maintenance of the set incubation parameters also during
sterilization of the other chamber in the same stacking stand (chap. 21.3).
The mounting instructions 7001-0145 delivered with the stacking adapter describe its
installation (Art. No. 9051-0032 for CB 56, Art. No. 9051-0026 for CB 170, Art. No. 9051-
0030 for CB 260).
