Heat compensation

1) Lower values are valid up to an ambient temperature of max. 25 °C.
2) To 98% of the set value
3) These values can be used for dimensioning air condition systems.
The useable interior height depends on the position of racks.

All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and a line voltage fluctuation of ±10%. The temperature data is determined in accordance to factory standard following DIN 12880, respecting the recommended wall clearances of 10% of the height, width and depth of the inner chamber. All figures are typical average values for series devices. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at any time.

BINDER Data Logger Kits

The new BINDER Data Logger Kits – Makes independent recording of temperature data in the BINDER device possible. The tailored product solution contains helpful accessories: from mounting the logger to the BINDER device to cable access assistance to the sensor mount.

Calibration certificate & validation

BINDER can significantly reduce the workload in qualifying and validating devices. Nobody knows our devices as well and has as much experience in certifications as we do.

Numerous access ports

With silicone plugs for introducing external measuring instruments into the chamber, access ports with 10, 30, 50 mm diameters.

Operating data documentation: APT-COM™ DataControlSystem

The only standard software that guarantees seamless documentation of all testing parameters in compliance with standards. Can be fully validated in accordance with GLP/GMP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
