• Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10 °C up to +60 °C / 14 °F up to 140 °F.
You can order transport packing and pallets for transportation purposes from BINDER Service.
3.3 Storage
Intermediate storage of the unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for
temporary decommissioning (chap. 10.2).
•
Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C up to +60 °C / 14 °F up to 140 °F.
• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the unit to its warmer installation site, condensation may
form. Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the incubator has attained ambient temperature and is
completely dry.
3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the incubator with forced convection BF on a flat, even surface, free from vibration and in a well-
ventilated, dry location. Align the unit using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of
supporting the unit’s weight (see technical data, chap. 12.4). The chambers are designed for setting up
inside a building (indoor use).
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the unit.
∅
Do NOT set up units in non-ventilated recesses.
 Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during operation: +18 °C up to +40 °C / 64.4 °F up to 104 °F.
At elevated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient
temperature of +25 °C to which the specified technical data relate. For other ambient
conditions, deviations from the indicated data are possible.
• Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing.
• Installation height: max. 3000 m / 9842 ft. above sea level.
When placing several units of the same size side by side, maintain a minimum distance of 160 mm
between each unit. Wall distances: rear 100 mm / 3.94 in, sides 160 mm / 6.30 in. Spacing above the unit
of at least 100 mm / 3.94 in must also be accounted for.
Two devices up to size 115 can be stacked on top of each other. For this purpose, place rubber pads
under all four feet of the upper unit to prevent the device from slipping.
CAUTION
Sliding or tilting of the upper unit.
Damage to the units.
∅
When stacking, place rubber pads under all four feet of the upper unit.
To completely separate the unit from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug. Install the
unit in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger.
Do not install or operate the incubator with forced convection BF in hazardous locations.
