Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: 10 °C / 14°F to +60 °C / 140°F.
You can order transport packing 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
temporary decommissioning (chap. 21.2).
•
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 refrigerated incubator KT on a flat, even surface, free from vibration, in a well-ventilated, dry
location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of supporting the unit’s
weight (see technical data, chap. 23.4). 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 / 64.4°F to +25 °C / 77 °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 / 77°F to which the specified technical data relates. Deviations from the
indicated data are possible for other ambient conditions.
With each degree of ambient temperature > +25 °C / 77°F, the refrigeration power decreases
by 1.5 K.
• Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing.
When operating the chamber at temperature set-points below ambient temperature, high ambient
humidity may lead to condensation on the unit.
•
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 (minimum distances): rear 100 mm / 3.94 in, sides 240 mm / 9.45 in.
Spacing above the unit of at least 100 mm / 3.94 in must also be maintained
Two devices up to size 115l can be piled 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.
