FP series:
Temperature test chambers with forced convection
FP series chambers are designed for the most demanding test applications and are particularly effective, thanks to their extensive programming abilities. The forced convection reliably facilitates quick drying times as well as extra rapid heating-up, even with fully loaded chambers.
- Electronically controlled APT.line™ preheating chamber technology with forced convection
- Temperature range of 5 °C (9 °F) above ambient temperature up to 300 °C (572 °F)
- MP controller with 2 programs with 10 sections each, alternatively 1 program with 20 sections
- The time interval of single program sections can be adjusted up to a maximum of 99:59 hours or 999:59 hours. This adjustment applies to all program sections.
- Integrated week time program time with real time function
- Adjustable ramp functions via program editor
- Adjustable fan speed (0 to 100 %)
- Elapsed time indicator
- Independent adjustable temperature safety device, Class 2 (DIN 12880), with visual alarm
- Adjustable ventilation by means of rear exhaust duct Ø 50 mm (2 inch) with ventilation flap and front ventilation slide
- RS 422 interface for communication software APT-COM™ DataControlSystem, or switch over to printer output with RS 232/RS 422 interface converter
- Adjustable intervals for printer
- Units up to 115 (4.1 cu.ft.) liters are stackable
- 2 chrome-plated racks
- BINDER test certificate

1) value without window
2) up to 98 % of the set value
3) The air change depends on the inner chamber- and ambient temperature. Further measurement of air change rate in acc. to ASTM D5374 with definition and protocol are optional.
All specified technical data apply for standard equipment operating at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F), with line voltage fluctuations of ± 10%. These typical average values for series equipment were determined in accordance with the BINDER factory standard. They are based upon the recommended distances from the inner chamber walls, namely 10% of height, width and depth. Differing ambient temperatures or variances in the design of individual equipment may produce different performance data.
We therefore recommend that equipment be calibrated and/or validated on a case-by-case basis when working at the extremes of the permissible ambient temperature range.
