22.2 Decommissioning
•
Turn off the chamber at the main power switch On/Off (1) and disconnect it from the power supply.
•
MK/MKT 115, 240, 720: Turn off the rear power switch (12).
•
Temporal decommissioning: See indications for appropriate storage, chap. 3.3.
In case of a prolonged temporal decommissioning: Leave the chamber door open or remove the ac-
cess port plugs. For several weeks out of service, we recommend turning on the chamber every 3 days
and operating it about 30 minutes in the cooling mode. This will ensure a quicker restart.
•
Final decommissioning: Dispose of the chamber as described in chap. 22.3 to 22.5.
22.3 Disposal of the chamber in the Federal Republic of Germany
According to Annex I of Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), BINDER devices are classified as “monitoring and control
instruments” (category 9) only intended for professional use“. They must not be disposed of at public col-
lecting points.
The chambers bear the symbol for the marking of electrical and electronic equipment manu-
factured / placed on the market in the EU after 13 August 2005 and be disposed of in sepa-
rate collection according to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equip-
ment (WEEE) and German national law for electrical and electronic equipment (Elektro- und
Elektronikgerätegesetz, ElektroG). WEEE marking: crossed-out wheeled bin with solid bar
under. A significant part of the materials must be recycled in order to protect the environ-
ment.
At the end of the device’s service life, have the chamber disposed of according to the German national
law for electrical and electronic equipment (Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz, ElektroG from 20 Octo-
ber 2015, BGBl. I p. 1739) or contact BINDER service who will organize taking back and disposal of the
chamber according to the German national law for electrical and electronic equipment (Elektro- und El-
