3.2 Guidelines for safe lifting and transportation
The front castors of the chamber can be blocked by brakes. Please move the chambers with castors only
when empty and on an even surface, otherwise the castors may be damaged. Mount the upholstered steel
L-type profile at the lower door locking. After operation please observe the guidelines for temporarily de-
commissioning the chamber (chap. 22.2).
CAUTION
Sliding or tilting of the chamber.
Damage to the chamber.
Risk of injury by lifting heavy loads.
∅
Do NOT lift or transport the chamber using the door, the handle or at the lower hous-
ing.
∅
Do NOT lift the chamber by hand.

Transport the chamber only in its original packaging.

Secure the alternating climate chamber with transport straps for transport.

Keep the chamber in upright position.

Place the chamber using technical devices (fork lifter) on the transport pallet. Set the
fork lifter only from the rear in the middle of the chamber. Make sure to place all the
lateral supports of the chamber on the forks.

Transport the chamber with the original transport pallet. Set the fork lifter ONLY to the
pallet. Without the pallet the chamber is in imminent danger of overturning.
•
Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F .
You can order transport packing and pallets for moving or shipping purposes from BINDER service.
3.3 Storage
Intermediate storage of the chamber is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for
temporary decommissioning (chap. 22.2).
•
Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F .
•
Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.h., non-condensing
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the chamber to its warmer installation site, condensa-
tion may form. Before start-up, wait at least two hours until the chamber has attained ambient temperature
and is completely dry and the oil in the compressors has warmed up.
In case of a prolonged temporal decommissioning: Leave the chamber door open or remove the access
port plugs.
3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the chamber on a flat, even and non-flammable surface, free from vibration, and in a well-
ventilated, dry location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of support-
ing the chamber’s weight (see technical data, chap. 24.4). The chambers are designed for setting up in-
side a building (indoor use).

tion may form. Before start-up, wait at least two hours until the chamber has attained ambient temperature
