Do not operate the safety / paint drying oven FDL in hazardous locations. DANGER Explosion hazard. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT operate the unit in potentially explosive areas. ∅ KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the unit. Familiarize yourself with any potential health risks caused by the charging material, the contained mois- ture constituent or by reaction products which may arise during the temperature process. Take adequate measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the safety / paint drying oven into operation.

page 14/68 DANGER Electrical hazard. Danger of death. ∅ The unit must NOT become wet during operation or maintenance. The safety / paint drying ovens were produced in accordance with VDE regulations and were routinely tested in accordance to VDE 0411-1 (IEC 61010-1). If a warning signal which indicates an of error condition, no further charging material must be introduced into the unit. DANGER Explosion and ignition hazard. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT introduce any further charging material as long as there is a warning signal. During and after the drying process, the inner surfaces have got a temperature close to the set-point. CAUTION The inner chamber, the outgoing air pipe, the door window (option), the door gasket, and the access ports will become hot during operation. Danger of burning. ∅ Do NOT touch the inner surfaces, the outgoing air pipe, the door window, the door gas- ket, the access ports, or the charging material during operation. 1.6 Intended use The BINDER safety / paint drying oven FDL 115 is suitable for drying and burn in of lacquers and similar liquid coating materials which are containing solvents that can form explosive mixtures with air. The maximally permitted drying temperature and the maximally permitted quantity of solvent are limited, see chap. 1.9. Other applications are not approved. Do NOT use the unit to warm up coating materials in containers, vessels, etc. or for drying textiles soaked in solvent. Do NOT use the unit for drying purpose if greater quantities of steam or solvent gas leading to condensa- tion will be set free. Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work (chap. 14.1) are part of the intended use. 1.7 Operating instructions Depending on the application and location of the unit, the operator of the safety / paint drying oven must provide the relevant information for safe operation of the unit in a set of operating instructions. These operating instructions must be kept with the unit at all times in a place where they are clearly visible. They must be comprehensible and written in the language of the employees.

page 15/68 1.8 Measures to prevent accidents During drying of fluid paints, flammable solvent/air mixtures can form and ignite. The manufacturer took the following measures to prevent ignition and explosions: • Indications on the type plate See operating manual chap. 1.4 • Operating manual An operating manual is available for each safety / paint drying oven. A diagram in the operating manual (chap. 2.3) indicates the maximum permissible solvent quantities for various operating states. The operating manual asks the operator of the safety / paint drying oven to set up an instruction on the permissible loading quantity. • Maximum temperatures and maximum permissible steam concentration By means of the diagram “Highest permissible solvent quantity”, which is included in the operating manual chap. 2.3 and applied on the front of the safety / paint drying oven, the operator must adapt the drying temperature to the maximum solvent quantity arising. When using nitro-cellulose lacquers or nitro combination lacquers, the diagram ”Highest permissible solvent quantity” specifies a limit temperature of max. 130 °C/ 266 °F, which must not be exceeded. (In this context, all paints containing more than 5 % nitro-cellulose relative to the non-volatile contents are regarded as nitro-cellulose lacquers and nitro-combination lacquers). A gas-tight separation between the drying chamber and the heating chamber is not necessary since there is an effective forced air motion in the entire steam room. • Throttle valves No throttle valves are used, i.e., the full air change occurs permanently. • Protecting the heating surfaces against dripping The BINDER APT.line™ preheating chamber protects all heating elements against lacquer dripping and direct contact with lacquer coatings. • Heat insulation All heat insulation is sealed against penetration by lacquer vapors from the outside with high tempera- ture-resistant and ageing-resistant sealant. The insulation material consists of non-combustible mineral wool (class A1 according to DIN 4102- 1:1998). • Temperature monitoring The safety / paint drying oven is equipped with a temperature display, which can be read from outside. A built-in additional temperature safety device can turn off the heating and is functionally independent of the main controller. When turning off the unit, the forced convection and the control equipment’s function are maintained. Visual (red indicator light) and audible (buzzer) signals indicate temperature exceeding. • Safety in case the technical ventilation fails The heating only turns on if the air circulation is already in operation. If the air circulation fails, the heating immediately turns off. In addition, there are audible (buzzer) and visual (red indicator light) signals. • Moving parts participating in the work process It is impossible to touch the fan from outside the device or from the interior. • Safety, measurement and control devices The safety, measuring, and control equipment is easily accessible via the housing top cover.

page 16/68 • Electrostatic charge The interior parts are grounded. • Protection against touchable surfaces Tested according to EN ISO 13732-1:2006. • Floors See operating manual chap. 3.4 for the oven’s installation. • Ventilation Ventilation shall be realized by the operator according to GUV-R 500 chap. 2.29 “Verarbeiten von Beschichtungsstoffen” (Processing of paints) (for Germany). • Cleaning See operating manual chap. 14. • Examinations The safety / paint drying oven has been inspected by the “Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung e.V. (DGUV), Fachausschuss Nahrungs- und Genussmittel, Prüf- und Zertifizierungsstelle im DGUV Test“ (German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), Expert Committee: “Metal and Surface Treatment”, Testing and Certification Body in DGUV) and bears the GS mark. 1.9 Important points to consider before commissioning 1.9.1 Technical ventilation / permissible load For safety reasons, the formation of a dangerous, explosive atmosphere must be avoided in all operating modes (see GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coat- ing materials")). Keeping the maximum permissible amount of solvent when loading the unit will meet this requirement. The permissible quantity can be calculated according to the "principles for the calculation of ventilation of chamber dryers and continuous dryers" (EN 1539:2009, Appendix B). According to this standard, the safety / paint drying oven’s technical data (chap. 17.3) must be included in the calculation, and it is required to set up a set of loading instructions (for Germany). 1.9.2 Loading instructions The loading instructions should specify the amount of material, which can be loaded into the drying oven for treatment without any risk of creating a dangerous, explosive atmosphere. GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coating materials") explicitly states that the operator must set up a set of loading instructions (for Germany). 1.9.3 Drying nitro-cellulose lacquers When using the safety / paint drying oven FDL to dry material, which is coated with nitro-cellulose lac- quers, the temperature safety device must be set to max. 130 °C / 266 °F, so that the surface tempera- ture of the goods to be dried is ensured not to exceed 130 °C / 266 °F. Deviations are only permissible if a report from a testing agency, which is recognized by the employer's liability insurance association, has declared safe a higher surface temperature. 1.9.4 Drying mould varnishes When using the safety / paint drying oven FDL to dry mould varnishes, the operator is allowed to increase the highest permissible amount of solvent specified for surface drying (chap. 2.3) by up to 10 times (see GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 “Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe” ("Dryers for coating materials") or EN 1539:2009, Appendix A.1.1.2).

page 17/68 1.9.5 Drying impregnating resins When using the safety / paint drying oven FDL to dry impregnating resins, the operator is allowed to in- crease the highest permissible amount of solvent specified for surface drying (chap. 2.3) by up to 20 times (see GUV-R 500 chap. 2.28 „Betreiben von Trocknern für Beschichtungsstoffe“ ("Dryers for coating materials") no. 3.7.4 or EN 1539:2009, Appendix A.1.1.2). 2. Unit description The safety / paint drying oven FDL 115 was built according to EN 1539:2009 (“Dryers and ovens, in which flammable substances are released. Safety requirements”). The fan in the rear of the safety / paint drying oven delivers a constant amount of fresh air through the working area irrespective of the drying temperature. A large-area filter removes dust from the incoming air (permeability up to approx. 1 micrometer). A flow monitor in the upper part of the device (pressure differential switch) monitors the stream of exhaust air. In the event of failure, the monitoring system turns the heater off immediately and registers this status with a visual and an audible signal. The heating of the device is released with a time delay of 4 minutes after you turn on the device by its main power switch. The indicator light (3) in the operating panel only lights up as long as the air-flow monitor has not yet en- abled the heating process. The drying temperature is also monitored constantly by the temperature limiter (2). If the temperature would exceed the maximum permissible temperature, the heating is turned off immediately and this state is indicated visually by indicator light (2a) and acoustically. In the event of fail- ure, the safety / paint drying oven cannot be restarted until the RESET key (2b) or (4) has been reset BINDER safety / paint drying ovens with forced convection FDL are equipped with the electronic program controller RD3 with digital display. This permits programming of temperature cycles. The APT.line™ preheating chamber system ensures high level of spatial and time-based temperature precision, thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. The air turbine supports ex- act attainment and maintenance of the required temperature accuracy. All functions of the multifunctional program control can be set simply and conveniently via the easy to understand function keypad of the RD3 temperature program controller. This controller is equipped with touch function keys and a digital display and permits exact temperature setting and programming tem- perature cycles. The FDL provides almost unlimited possibilities of adapting to individual customer re- quirements based upon extensive programming options and on the week program timer and real time clock of the controller. 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 inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the interior side of the doors are all made of stainless steel (material no. 1.4301 (V2A) in Germany, US equivalent 304). When operating the chamber at tem- peratures above 150 °C, the impact of the oxygen in the air may cause discoloration of the metallic sur- faces (yellowish-brown or blue) by natural oxidation processes. These colorations are harmless and will in no way impair the function or quality of the unit. The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also completely coated. The safety / paint drying oven FDL comes equipped with a serial interface RS 422 for computer commu- nication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 13.1). For further options, see chap. 17.4. The units can be operated at an ambient temperature of 18 °C / 64.4 °F up to 40 °C / 104 °F in a tem- perature control range by 5 °C above ambient temperature up to +300 °C / 572 °F.

Push the pallet to the desired site and then lift the unit at its four lo- wer corners from the pallet with the aid of four people. • 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 unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for tempo- rary decommissioning (chap. 15.2). • 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 unit to its warmer installation site, condensation may form. Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the chamber has attained ambient temperature and is completely dry. 3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions Set up the safety / paint drying oven FDL 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 capa- ble of supporting the unit’s weight (see technical data, chap. 17.3). The chambers are designed for set- ting 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 / 64.4 °F up to +40 °C / 104 °F. At elevated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur. The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient tem- perature of +25 °C / 77°F to which the specified technical data relate. For other ambient condi- tions, deviations from the indicated data are possible. • Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing. • Installation height: max. 2000 m / 6.6 ft. above sea level. When placing several units of the same size side by side, maintain a minimum distance of 250 mm / 9.84 in between each unit. Wall distances: rear 100 mm / 3.94 in, sides 160 mm / 6.29 in.

page 22/68 CAUTION Danger by stacking. Damage to the units. ∅ Do NOT place safety / paint drying ovens on top of each other. 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 oven in potentially explosive areas. DANGER Explosion hazard. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT operate the unit in potentially explosive areas. ∅ KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the vicinity of the unit. The standard equipped safety / paint drying oven FDL with housing protection IP 33 acc. to DIN 40050 (see type plate) must NOT be installed and operated in explosive and fire-endangered areas. If the safety / paint drying oven is optionally built up with housing protection IP 54, it can be operated in fire-endangered areas. Decisive is always the indication on the type plate. When operating the safety / paint drying oven FDL with housing protection IP 54 in fire- endangered areas, observe DIN VDE 0100-482:2003 (for Germany). Operation of the cooling slots must on no account be impaired. The vapors produced when the heating the content must be extracted from the safety / paint drying oven through non-combustible exhaust gas or exhaust air ducts. The exhaust duct (nominal diameter 100 mm / 3.9 in) on the rear of the chamber serves for this purpose, to which a suitable exhaust air duct can be connected, e.g., a corrugated alumi- num hose. The exhaust connection must be made via a draught limiter; the exhaust air must not be guided into ducts for combustible gas. CAUTION The rear exhaust duct will become hot during operation. Danger of burning. ∅ Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation. 4. Installation of the equipment 4.1 Operating instructions Depending on the application and location of the unit, the operator of the safety / paint drying oven must provide the relevant information for safe operation of the unit in a set of operating instructions. Keep these operating instructions with the unit at all times in a place where they are clearly visible. They must be comprehensible and written in the language of the employees.

page 23/68 4.2 Electrical connection The safety / paint drying oven FDL 115 is supplied ready for connection. • Power connection: fixed power connection cable 1800 mm / 5.9 ft in length with a shockproof plug • Power supply voltage 230 V (1N~) +/- 10 %, 50/60 Hz • Housing protection type according to EN 60529:2000 : IP 33 (optional IP 54) • Electrical protection: protection class I (with grounding conductor connection) • Prior to connection and start-up, check the power supply voltage. Compare the values to the specified data located on the unit’s type plate (unit front behind the door, bottom left-hand, see chap. 1.4). • When connecting, please observe the regulations specified by the local electricity supply company as well as the VDE directives (for Germany) • Pollution degree (acc. to IEC 61010-1): 2 • Over-voltage category (acc. to IEC 61010-1): II CAUTION Danger of incorrect power supply voltage. Damage to the equipment. � Check the power supply voltage before connection and start-up. � Compare the power supply voltage with the data indicated on the type plate. See also electrical data (chap. 17.3). 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. 4.3 Connection to a suction plant (optional) When directly connecting a suction plant the spatial temperature exactitude, the heating-up and the re- covering times and the maximum temperature will be negatively influenced. So no suction plant should be directly connected to the exhaust duct (nominal diameter 100 mm / 3.9 in) on the rear of the chamber. Connect a suitable exhaust air duct, e.g., a corrugated aluminum hose, to the chamber exhaust duct. The exhaust connection must be made via a draught limiter; the exhaust air must not be guided into ducts for combustible gas. Active suction from the oven must only be performed together with extraneous air. Perforate the connecting piece to the suction device or place an exhaust funnel at some distance to the outgoing air pipe. CAUTION The exhaust duct will become hot during operation. Danger of burning. ∅ Do NOT touch the exhaust duct during operation.

page 24/68 5. Start up After connecting the electrical supply (chap. 4.2), turn on the unit via the main power switch (1). Set the main power switch (1) to position “I”. Indicator light (3) and an audible signal indicate that the minimal volumetric flow rate of the technical ventilation has not yet been reached. Once the fan has reached its operating speed, indicator light (3) goes off. Now press RESET key (4). The audible alarm stops. After turning on the main power switch (1), the heating is automatically enabled with a delay time of 4 minutes to ensure the required pre-ventilation acc. to EN1539:2009. Set the temperature set point (chap. 6). Detach the plastic cover over the temperature safety device class 2 (2) with a suitable Phillips screw- driver, and then set the temperature safety device (2) to the maximum permissible drying temperature (chap. 12.1) and restore the plastic cover to prevent misadjusting. After reaching the set drying temperature, the heating keeps it constant by turning on and off regularly. You can verify this on the controller display. When loading the oven with solvent-containing material, do not exceed the maximally permitted solvent quantity for the selected drying temperature. Refer to the solvent curve at the oven front, chap. 2.3. Adjust the temperature safety device according to the selected set-point (chap. 12.1). Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a quality defect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal temperature for one day and in a well ventilated location. 5.1 Settings at the RD3 program controller After turning the unit on with the main power switch (1) the controller is in Normal Display / fixed value operation mode. Depending on the temperature value entered before LED (3a) is lit if the heating is active, or no LED if the actual temperature is equal to or above the set-point. In Display 1 of the controller the actual temperature Value is shown. • With inactive week program timer: In Display 2 of the controller the actual date and time are displayed. Example: 15.01.07 13:52 • With active week program timer: In Display 2 of the controller the actual date and time and the states of the week program timer chan- nels are displayed.

When changing the set-point, check the setting of the temperature safety device (chap. 12.1). The values entered in fixed-value entry mode remain valid after program run-off and are then equilibrated. If the week program timer is active, depending on the running week program another set-point (SP2) may be targeted. Temperatures too high for the introduced solvent quantity can occur. Deactivate the week program timer if you do not use it (default setting, setting in the User level, chap. 10). DANGER Too high temperature. Danger of explosion. Danger of death. � Deactivate the week program timer if you do not use it.

page 28/68 7. Week program editor The Week program editor permits defining up to 4 shift point for each week day. A shift point defines a moment and the switching state ON or OFF of the channels that become active in this instance. Channel function: • Channel 1 On = Set-point 2 is equilibrated. • Channel 1 Off = Set-point 1 is equilibrated • Channel 2 = reserve The week program timer is initially set to inactive (factory setting).

page 31/68 8. Program editor 8.1 Selecting between set-point ramp and set-point step You can program various kinds of temperature transitions. In the user level (chap. 10) you can select between the settings “Ramp” (default setting) and “Step”. Setting “Ramp” permits programming all kinds of temperature transitions. With setting “Step” the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures; programming ramps is no longer possible. Switching between settings “Ramp” and “Step” will influence all programs. Please note that this can cause the time courses of existing programs to change significantly. 8.1.1 Programming with setting “Ramp” (default setting) Set-points always refer to the start of a program section, i.e., at the beginning of each program section, the entered set-point will be reached. During program section operation, the temperature gradually passes to the set-point entered for the subsequent program section. You can program all kinds of temperature transitions by the appropriate design of the program section timing: • Gradual temperature changes “set-point ramp“ The set-point gradually moves from one set-point to the one of the following program section during a given interval. The actual temperature value (X) follows the continually moving set-point (W) at any time. • Program sections with constant temperature The initial values of two subsequent program sections are identical; therefore the temperature is kept constant during the whole time of the first program section. • Sudden temperature changes “set-point step” Steps are temperature changes (ramps) that occur during a very short interval. Two program sections with an identical set-point are followed by a section with a different set-point. If the duration of this transitional program section is very short (minimum entry 1 min), the temperature change will proceed rapidly in the minimum amount of time. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 W t Figure 8: Possible temperature transitions (with default setting “Ramp” in the user level (chap. 10)

The end point of the desired cycle must be programmed with an additional section (in our examples S05 for set-point ramp and S08 for set-point step) with a section time of at least one minute. Otherwise, the program will stop one section too early because the program line is incomplete. 8.1.2 Programming with setting “step” With setting “Step” selected, you don’t need to program the transition section in the Program Editor. With setting “step” the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures; programming ramps is no longer possible. The set-points are maintained constant for the duration of a program section. At the start of each program section, the unit heats up with the maximum speed in order to attain the entered set-point.

During this program interruption, the LED (3d) flashes. Therefore, the duration of the program might be extended due to the programming of tolerances The programming is saved even in case of a power failure or after turning off the unit. After program rundown the controller returns to fixed value operation showing Normal Display and equili- brates to the temperature value previously entered in fixed value entry mode. Before starting the program, check the set-point value entered in fixed value entry mode. After program rundown temperature will equilibrate to this value. Deactivate the week program timer (factory setting, setting in the user level, chap. 10) before starting a program. 8.2 Set-point entry for program operation From Normal Display, press down button X/W for 5 sec to access the program editor. Then enter the set- points one after the other in all program sections of a selected program. You can enter two programs with up to 10 sections each or one program with up to 20 sections (setting in the user level, chap. 10). In order to avoid incorrect programming, we recommend entering the values of the program course into a table (template in chap. 8.3). Example of program table (with default setting “Ramp”): Section SEC Temperature set-point [ °C] TEMP Section length [hh.mm] TIME S01 40 00:30 S02 60 01:30 S03 90 01:00 S04 90 03:20 S05 110 00:01 The values of the program table can now be entered to the RD3 program controller.

Display 2 shows alternating NEW SEC. X/W section S01 has not yet been created. enter set-points for the individual variables with button X/W Select sections S01 to S10 or to S20 using arrow keys As long as no program section has been entered, the display switches back to 01 in case of any entry > 01, because all sections need to be entered one after the other, and each new section is created as NEWSEC. Example: If three programs sections have been already entered, the next section to be entered is S04. Before this, no section > S04 can be selected.

page 36/68 Next step – set-point entry in the desired program sections: Basic entry principle: Access the parameters of individual program sections with button X/W one after the other. Enter the values of the individual parameters with the arrow keys. A value flashing once after 2 seconds indicates that it has been adopted by the controller. If several parameters are to be skipped (e.g. in order to change a parameter in a posterior program section), the parameters can be rapidly jumped over by holding down the X/W key. If no button is pressed for more than 120 sec the controller switches back to Normal Display. The program entered to this point remains stored. Press key Display 1 shows e.g. 40.0C (actual temperature set-point) S01: TEMP 40.0 (variable: temperature in °C) Display 2 shows alternating CONTINUE X/W (information: go on with X/W) Enter temperature set-point of S01 in °C using arrow keys Press key Display 1 shows e.g. 00.30 (actual section length set-point) S01: TIME 00:30 (variable: section length in hh:mm) Display 2 shows alternating CONTINUE X/W (information: go on with X/W) Enter section length set-point of S01 in hh.mm using arrow keys Value is shown in both displays.

Display 2 shows alternating NEW SEC. X/W Section S02 has not yet been created. enter set-points for the individual parameters with X/W Select the next section to be entered using arrow keys Display 1 shows e.g. 60.0C (actual temperature set-point) S02:TEMP 60.0 (variable: temperature in °C) Display 2 shows alternating CONTINUE X/W (information: go on with X/W) Enter the temperature set-point of S02 in °C using arrow keys Etc. If all sections up to S10 or up to S20 have been programmed, section S01 follows again. In order to quit the entry mode, press the “EXIT” button several times or wait 120 sec → the controller will then return to Normal Display. When changing the set-point, check the setting of the safety device (chap. 12.1).

X/W (information: delete section with X/W) Press key

page 39/68 The following section (in our example now S03) is displayed: Display 1 shows e.g. 03 (actual selection of the section: S03) P01:S03 (program section can be selected) Display 2 shows alternating CONTINUE X/W (information: set-point entry with X/W) Press key EXIT or wait 120 sec Controller returns to Normal Display If you delete a program section which is followed by further sections, those following move up in place of the deleted section. In our example, section S03 has been deleted. If sections S04, S05, etc. have been programmed earlier, they will now replace the preceding sections, i.e., S04 is now called S03 etc. Deletion leads to overwriting the section by the following one. It is therefore not possible to temporarily inactivate a program section. To enter a section later to a program, all the sections following the new one must be entered again. 9. Program start level Before starting the program, check the set-point entered in Fixed value operation mode. After end of the program, the temperature will equilibrate to this value. This value must not exceed the permitted drying temperature for the used solvent quantity. DANGER Too high temperature after the program ends. Danger of explosion. Danger of death. ∅ Set-point of Fixed value operation must NOT exceed the maximum drying temperature suitable for the solvent quantity. � Check the set-point of Fixed value operation and if necessary adapt it. After the program ends, the temperature will equilibrate to the set-point entered in Fixed value operation mode. If the week program timer is active, another set-point (SP2) might be targeted according to pro- gramming. Temperatures too high for the introduced solvent quantity can occur. Deactivate the week program timer before starting the program (default setting, setting in the User level, chap. 10). DANGER Too high temperature after the program ends. Danger of explosion. Danger of death. � Deactivate the week program timer before starting the program. In the first step, select a program. This is on condition that a program has been entered previously (chap. 8.2) and that program type “2 programs with 10 sections each” has been selected in the user level (chap. 10).

page 40/68 Then define the settings for the program course. Two parameters can be set: • Program delay time, i.e. a defined time before a program starts. It can be entered with a precision of 1 minute, and its maximum value is 99.59 (99 hs 59 min). If the value is 00.00, the program will start immediately. • Number of program cycles, i.e. the desired number of program repeats. Values from 1 to 99 can be entered. If the program is not going to be repeated, enter the value “0”. For infinite repeats enter the value “–1”. The program is repeated as a whole; it is not possible to repeat individual sections. In the last step start the selected program. These steps must be carried out subsequently. Deactivate the week program timer (factory setting, setting in the user level, chap. 10) before starting a program. Step 1 – Program selection (only with program type “2 programs” set): Normal Display Press program key Display 1 shows e.g. 1 (actual selection of the program) Display 2 shows SEL.PRG.

The green LED (3d) lights up. In addition to the green LED (3d) indicating a running program, the LED (3a) is lit if the heating is active, or no LED if the actual temperature equals the set-point.

page 41/68 During program course the arrow keys and the EXIT button are not functional. By pressing the program key for 3 seconds, you can terminate the program course. If you press button during program course, the entered set-point of the actually running program sec- tion is shown for 5 seconds: Display 1 shows e.g. 65.5C (actual temperature value) Display 2 shows P01:S03 00:47:12 (actual program P01, actual section S03, and remaining time of program section S03) Press key Display 1 shows e.g. 90 (actual temperature set-point 1) Display 2 shows SP1 TEMPERATURE 5 seconds Display 1 shows e.g. 30 (actual temperature set-point 2) Display 2 shows SP2 TEMPERATURE (no function during program operation) 5 seconds After program runoff (and, if appropriate, of the program repeats) the controller returns to fixed value op- eration showing Normal Display and adjusting to the temperature value that has been previously entered in the fixed value entry mode. 10. User level In this menu the following parameters can be se (in brackets the corresponding abbreviated information given in display 2): • Unit address (Adress) Set the controller address (1 to 255) for operation with the communication software APT-COM™. • User code (User-cod) Modification of the user code setting (factory setting 0001) for access to the user level and the pro- gram editor. Keep in mind any modification of the user code. There is no access to these levels without a valid user code. • Decimal point position (Decimal) Selection if integer values or one position after the decimal point can be entered. The integer repre- sentation is shown in Display 2 (set-point entry) while the actual value in Display 1 is always shown with one decimal point. • Audio Alert (Buzzer) Inactive: no audible signal (buzzer) in case of an alarm event. Active: in case of an alarm event (see chap. 11.2) an audible signal (buzzer) will sound. It can be re- set by pressing the “EXIT” button. • Selection of controller menu language (Language) German, English, or French can be selected.

page 42/68 • Counter of operating hours (Oper.hs) Information about the number of operating hours currently reached or since the last reset. (no setting, display only). • Max. number of operating hours (Op.limit) Enter a limit number of operating hours, i.e., the maximum number of operating hours that can be run. Maximum setting: 9999. Reaching the limit has no effect. • Reset operating hours (Op.back) Reset operating hours to zero. • Interface protocol (Protocol) “Modbus”: The chamber interface can be used as a communication interface to connect it to a com- puter. This serves to control the chamber by the communication software APT-COM™. It is possible to read and write the values of all parameters. “Printer”: A protocol printer (option) for data printouts can be connected to the chamber interface. The printer regularly protocols the actual temperature value with fixed formatting and with adjustable print intervals (chap. 13.2). In both cases an interface converter RS 422 / RS 232 is used. • Print interval (Prt.-Inv.) Set the print interval in minutes. Function is available only if setting “Printer” has been selected in the previous menu point. • Display illumination (Disp.LED) Select between continuous display illumination and limited illumination, which will automatically go off 300 sec after the last entry. • Program type selection (PrgSelec) Select between entry of two programs with up to 10 sections each or of one program with up to 20 sections. When changing from 2 programs to 1 program or vice-versa, existing programs are deleted in the program editor. • Maximum section duration (Prg.Time) The maximum length of an individual program section can be set to either 99 hs 59 min or to 999 hs 59 min. This setting is then valid for all program sections. When changing the maximum duration setting, pre-existing programs will be deleted in the program editor. • Set-point programming type (Setp.sim) Select between “Ramp” and “Step”. With setting “Step” selected, you don’t need to program the transi- tion section in the Program Editor. If you select setting “Step”, the controller will equilibrate only to constant temperatures; programming ramps becomes impossible. A change between settings “ramp” and “step” will influence all programs. Note that signifi- cant change in time courses may arise in existing programs. • Tolerance limit range (Tol.band) Entry of a tolerance limit value in °C. If the actual value of temperature exceeds the set-point of a pro- gram section by more than the entered tolerance limit value, the program is halted (LED (3d) flashing) until the actual temperature value is again within the tolerance range. Entry of “0” means tolerance limits are off.

page 48/68 11. Behavior in case of failures 11.1 Behavior after power failure Power failure during fixed-value operation (Normal Display): the entered parameters remain saved. After power returns, operation continues with the set parameters. The heating starts operating after a delay time of 4 minutes. Power failure during program operation: After power return program course continues with the set- points that have been reached previously during program operation. The heating starts operating after a delay time of 4 minutes. 11.2 Alarm messages Alarm messages, e g. “RANGE ERROR CH1” in case of sensor rupture, are shown in Display 2 only in Normal Display. A buzzer can be activated / deactivated in the user level (chap. 10). It can be reset by pressing the EXIT button. The alarm text shown in Normal Display goes off only if the cause of the alarm does not exist any longer. 12. Safety devices 12.1 Temperature safety device class 2 (DIN 12880:2007) The temperature safety device class 2 protects the unit, its environment and the charging material from exceeding the maximum permissible temperature. Please observe the guideline BGI/GUV-I 850-0 on safe working in laboratories (formerly BGR/GUV-R 120 or ZH 1/119 laboratory guidelines issued by the employers’ liability insurance association) (for Ger- many). In the event of a fault in the temperature controller, the safety device (2) permanently turns off the unit. Only the fan continues running for safety reasons. This status is reported visually by the indicator lamp (2a) and acoustically by the buzzer. The operation of the safety device (2) is checked by moving it slowly counter-clockwise until it is turned off. The safety device cut-off is reported visually by the indicator lamp (2a) and acoustically by the buzzer. Then release the safety device by pressing the reset button (2b) and turn on the unit is as described pre- viously. Figure 9: Safety thermostat class 2 Function: The safety thermostat class 2 is functionally and electrically independent of the temperature control de- vice and turns off the unit at all poles. When the control knob (2) is set to the end stop (position 10), the safety thermostat class 2 acts as a unit protection device. If it is set somewhat higher than the set-point temperature selected on the controller, it acts as a material protection device. (2) (2a) (2b)

page 49/68 When the safety device has turned off the unit, identifiable by the red alarm lamp (2a) lighting up, proceed as follows: • Disconnect the unit from the power supply. • Have the cause of the fault examined and rectified by a technician. • Release safety thermostat class 2 by pressing reset button (2b). • Restart the unit as described in chap. 5. Setting: The diagram given in chap. 2.3 indicates the drying temperature to be set on the controller in relation to the quantity of the introduced solvents. This must not be exceeded. For this reason, adjust the tempera- ture safety device according to the selected set-point. DANGER Excessive drying temperature. Danger of explosion. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT exceed the maximum drying temperature for the solvent quantity. To check at which temperature the safety device activates, turn on the oven and set the required nominal value on the temperature controller. The scale division from 1 to 10 corresponds to the temperature range from 30 °C / 86°F up to 320 °C / 608°F and serves as a setting aid. • Detach the plastic cover over the temperature safety device class 2 (2) with a suitable Phillips screwdriver. • Turn the control knob (2) of the safety device using a coin to its end-stop (position 10) (unit protection). • When the set point is reached, turn back the control knob (2) until its trip point (turn it counter-clockwise) is reached. • The red alarm lamp (2a) lighting up identifies the trip point; and the reset button (2b) pops out. • The optimum setting of the safety device is obtained by turning the knob clockwise by approx. one graduation mark on the scale. • Push the reset button (2b) in again. • Restore the plastic cover to prevent misadjusting Figure 10: Setting the safety device class 2 The unit is only active when the reset button (2b) is pushed in. When the safety thermostat class 2 responds, the red alarm lamp (2a) illuminates, the reset button (2b) pops out and the unit turns off permanently at all poles. Only the fan keeps turning for safety reasons. Check the safety thermostat regularly and adjust it following changes of the set-point. Fixed value operation: Adapt the temperature safety device every time the set-point for temperature is changed. Set the set-point of temperature safety device by about 5 °C to 10 °C above the controller temperature set-point. Program operation: Adapt the temperature safety device to the highest temperature set- point value of the program actually used. Functional check: Test the functional capability of the safety thermostat at appropriate intervals. It is recommended having this check performed by the authorized service personnel, e.g. before the beginning of a long working process.
