The horizontal air conduction of the APT.line™ preheating chamber technology, in conjunction with the
controllable air turbine enables simulation of the natural air-flow conditions. The APT.line™ preheating
chamber system guarantees high level of spatial and time-based temperature precision, thanks to the
direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. The fan supports exact attainment and maintenance
of the desired temperature accuracy.
2.1.3 General
A resistance humidifying system humidifies the air. For this purpose, use deionized (demineralized) water.
The option BINDER Pure Aqua Service allows using the chamber with any degree of water hardness.
The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the interior side of the doors are all made of stainless
steel V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). The housing is RAL 7035 powder-
coated. All corners and edges are also completely coated.
All chamber functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features
are easy cleaning of all chamber parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
The efficient program controller is equipped with a multitude of operating functions, in addition to recorder
and alarm functions. Programming of test cycles is easily accomplished via the modern MB2 touch screen
controller and is also possible directly with a computer via Intranet in connection with the communication
software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 21.1). The chamber comes equipped with an
Ethernet serial interface for computer communication. In addition, the BINDER communication software
APT-COM™ 3 permits networking up to 30 chambers and connecting them to a PC for controlling and
programming, as well as recording and representing temperature and humidity data. For further options,
see chap.25.5.
The chambers are equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be easily locked via the attached
brakes.
Temperature range: 0 °C / 32 °F up to 70 °C / 158 °F without light cassettes, 10 °C / 50 °F up to 60 °C /
140 °F with illumination
KBF LQC: When at least one light sensor is plugged-in, the maximum temperature is automatically limited
to 60 °C.
Humidity range: 10% r.H. to 80% r.H.
For the control ranges of temperature and humidity, see climatic diagrams (chap. 18).
