Defrosting during refrigerating operation BINDER cooling incubators are very diffusion-proof. To ensure high temperature precision there is no automatic cyclic defrosting device. The DCT™ refrigerating system largely avoids icing of the evaporation plates. However, at very low temperatures the moisture in the air can condense on the evaporator plates leading to icing.
16.1 APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option) The chamber is regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 (13) that can connect the BINDER APT- COM™ 4 Multi Management Software. The connection to a computer is established using the chamber interface via an interface converter.
With an increased amount of dust in the ambient air, clean the condenser fan (by suction or blowing) several times a year. We recommend taking out a maintenance agreement. Please consult BINDER Service. BINDER telephone hotline: +49 (0) 7462 2005 555...
Do NOT use a neutral cleaning agent on zinc coated surfaces. Do not use cleaning agents that may cause a hazard due to reaction with components of the device or the charging material. If there is doubt regarding the suitability of cleaning products, please contact BINDER service.
