2. Unit description
BINDER incubators with forced convection BF are equipped with an electronic PID-controller with digital
display. The temperature is indicated with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.
BINDER incubators with forced convection BF are heated electrically and are ventilated by fan-assisted,
forced-air circulation. They BF are equipped with a temperature safety device according to DIN12880
(chap. 7).
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.
The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the inside 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.
BINDER incubators with forced convection BF are equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer
communication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap.
8.2). For further options, see chap. 12.5.
The model BF 720 is equipped with
four castors. Both front castors can be locked by brakes.
The unit can be operated in a temperature range of 5 °C / 9 °F above ambient temperature up to +100 °C
212 °F.
