Unit description
The constant climate chambers KMF are equipped with a multifunctional microprocessor display control-
ler with 2-channel technology for temperature and humidity plus a digital display accurate to one-tenth of
a degree resp. 0.1% r.H. With its comprehensive program control functions, the display program control-
ler MB1 permits the high precision performance of temperature and humidity cycles.
With its microprocessor controlled humidifying and dehumidifying system the KMF is a high-precision
constant climate chamber. It completely meets the requirements of the stipulated stability and durability
tests for industrial products:
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 at-
tainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.
Furthermore, it permits simulating exactly and over long periods constant conditions for other applications
such as sample conditioning for material testing of paper, textiles, plastics, building materials, etc.
A resistance humidifying system humidifies the air. For this purpose, use deionized (demineralized) wa-
ter. 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 unit functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features are
easy cleaning of all unit 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 MB1 color-
display controller and is also possible directly with a computer via Intranet in connection with the commu-
nication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 14.1). The constant climate chamber
KMF comes equipped with an Ethernet serial interface for computer communication. In addition, the
BINDER communication software APT-COM™ 3 permits networking up to 30 units 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.18.5.
The KMF models size 240 and 720 are equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be easily
locked via the attached brakes.
The chambers can be operated in a temperature range from -10 °C /
14 °F
up to +100 °C /
212 °F
and in
a humidity range of 10% r.H. to 90% r.H.
For the control ranges of temperature and humidity, see diagram (chap. 12).
