6. Start up
6.1 Turning on the chamber
After connecting the supply lines (chap. 4), turn on the chamber by its main power switch (1). The lit pilot
lamp shows the chamber is ready for operation.
When the main power switch is turned on and yet the controller display is dark, the display is in stand-by
mode. Press on the touchscreen to activate it.
•
Open the water-tap for freshwater supply. Alternatively, fill the freshwater can (option, chap. 19.9).
•
The humidifying and dehumidifying system must be activated (deactivated operation line “Humidity
off”, chap. 7.3 and setting “Control on”, chap. 6.3).
After the first turning on of the chamber or after an interruption of the power supply the relative humidity
will increase after a delay of about 20 minutes. During this period, the relative humidity can drop consid-
erably.
Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a quality
defect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal temperature for
one day and in a well-ventilated location.
WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continu-
ous operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or
samples to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is
feasible.
6.2 Controller settings upon start up
The window „Language selection“ enables the language selection , in case that it’s activated in the
“Start-up” menu. Afterwards occurs a request of the time zone and the temperature unit .
The controller will function in the operating mode , which was active before the last shut-down. It controls
temperature and humidity in fixed value operating mode to the last entered values and in the program
mode to the set points achieved beforehand.
