5.8 Performance when opening the door
When you open the door the fan starts running with minimum speed.
After 60 seconds from opening the door, heating, refrigeration, humidification, dehumidification and fan

After closing the door, heating, refrigeration, humidification, dehumidification and fan turn on again.
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. 21.9).
•
The humidifying and dehumidifying system must be activated (deactivated operation line “Humidity off”,
chap. 8.4 and setting “Control on”, chap. 6.3).
•
KBF LQC: When operation line “LQC” is activated, light integration takes place: In fixed value and pro-
gram operation mode, the fluorescent tubes automatically turn on until they reach the selected target
dose values of UVA and the visible spectral range. If the operation line “Idle mode” is activated, the flu-
orescent tubes are off. In the chart recorder display, the actual values are displayed under “Instantane-
ous values” and the integrated light values under “Dose values”.
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 consider-
ably.
Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a quality de-
fect. 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 continuous
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.
