* According to general technical rules, you must conduct a safety check acc. to DIN VDE 0701-0702
after every maintenance, repair or modification of a unit.
Alternatively you can perform the safety check also with similar national standards if they contain the tests
described in chap. 6.
Independent of the standard used for the safety check, the measurement values indicated in chap. 6 must
be reached.
4.1 Test of the vacuum / aeration unit

This test should be performed in conjunction with the preparation of the calibration of the VD
(chap. 9.2, page 53).
1. Start preparing the calibration and adjustment of the temperature control.

2. After the end vacuum of the VD is reached close the shut-off valve and stop the pump.
The interior pressure shall not increase for more than one scale division of the manometer
(corresponds to approx. 20 mbar) within 2 hours.
For a more exact measuring use a digital manometer which can be connected to the measuring port.
3. Open the aeration valve for a short time.

Increase of pressure is visible at the manometer.
4. Not for VD 23 / 23-UL:

Open the inert gas fine dosing valve for a short time.
5. Open the vacuum shut-off valve for a short time.

6. Switch on the vacuum pump and go on with equilibrating the temperature in the VD.

Troubleshooting
5. Troubleshooting
Alarm and error messages as well as basic measures the operator himself should take
to clear them are described in the “C 150 operating manual”.
Please make sure these measures have been tried before looking further for any other
possible error causes.
The troubleshooting diagrams below are built up as follows:
Error pattern
Possible error cause Yes Remedial measure
No
Possible error cause Yes Remedial measure
Faults should be found by replacing components of the unit. Usually that will be the fastest method of
troubleshooting.
The sequence of the columns describing potential causes for errors, and the remedial actions to clear the
described error patterns, is mainly intended to facilitate basic error diagnosis and clearance.
So it is recommended to work your way from top to +bottom of the diagrams.
Notations between brackets and in italics, e.g. (-1S1), behind a component refer to the respective equipment
codes for this component, as specified in the wiring diagram, and in labels on some parts inside the unit.

Electrical safety check
6. Check for electrical safety

Safety check acc. to DIN VDE 0701-0702
DANGER!
Danger of electric shock.
Danger to life.
Because of that a second person must be present who is able to switch
off the unit in case of emergency.
During the yearly maintenance and after repair you have to perform a inspection acc. to DIN VDE 0701-0702.
This inspection comprises the following points:
 1. Visual inspection
Check the unit and all electrical connecting lines visible damages and defects.
Replace damaged parts and electrical connecting lines.
 Measuring the protective conductor resistance

The protective conductor resistance is measured between the grounding contacts of the power
plug and several different, electrically conductive spots of the housing.
The measuring current for measuring the resistance must be at least 0.2 A.
The protective conductor resistance must not exceed the value 0.3 Ω.
Possible causes of error: corroded connections, no electrically conductive measuring spots due
to lacquer or dirt.
Cause removal: Clean connections or make the measuring spots metallically bare.
 Measuring the insulation resistance

The insulation resistance is measured between one conduct and several different, electrically
conductive spots of the housing. All switches must be closed during the measurement.
The resistance must not fall below the value 0.3 MΩ.
When measuring, make sure that the unit is not dirty or wet. If the measured resistance value is
too low, we recommend drying thoroughly the unit and repeating the measurement.
 Measuring the protective conductor current

The protective conductor current is the current that flows through the protective conductor when
the unit is turned on. All switches must be closed during the measurement.
Set the temperature set-point to the lowest value.
The measurement is effected at all possible plugging positions of the power plug.
The protective conductor current must not exceed 3.5 mA. If the current is exceeded, a possible
cause may be bad insulation or short-circuit of a coil.
Coils exist e.g. in fans, power supply units, motors, solenoid valves, and relays.
By temporary electrical uncoupling of the corresponding parts, you can identify and localize
possible sources of error.
 Test protocol

Calibration and adjustment of the temperature control
9. Calibration and adjustment of the temperature control

9.1 General information
The temperature control of the unit shall be calibrated and if necessary adjusted annually
and after replacing the controller board (-2N1) (chap. 8.21, page 50).
CAUTION!
If the VD is calibrated or adjusted incorrectly, there is a risk of malfunction
which could cause material damage to the samples and false test results.
 This unit shall only be calibrated and adjusted by trained service

personnel (see chap. 2.1).
 You shall read and understand the chap. 9 "Calibration and adjustment”
of this service manual before calibrating and adjusting.
On the calibration of the VD the temperature control of the controller shall be checked.
The temperature values of the controller measured and displayed by the VD are compared with the
temperature value measured and displayed by an external reference measuring instrument.
If the deviations of the temperature values of the VD and the reference measuring instruments exceed the
spatial temperature variation, called confidence criteria, the temperature control of the VD shall be adjusted.
The reference measuring instruments for the temperature shall have a valid calibration certificate which has
been approved by a recognized standards or calibration authority or regulatory body.
Measuring range: At least 20°C to 200°C Measurement uncertainty: ≤ ±0.5 K.
The adjustment of the temperature control is carried out as a single point adjustment.
Choose the most common operating temperature or a temperature situated in the middle of the most
common used temperature range as calibrating and adjusting point (e.g. 100 °C (212 °F)).
The calibration and adjustment of the temperature control shall be performed in the following order:
1. Preparing the calibration and adjustment (chap. 9.2, page 53)

2. Calibrating the temperature controller (chap. 9.3, page 54)
3. Resetting the temperature adjustment (chap. 9.4, page 54)
4. Adjusting the temperature control (chap. 9.5, page 57)

9.2 Preparing the calibration and adjustment

1. Place one expansion rack in the central position of the unit.
Ensure that the cheek plates of the rack fit tightly to the wall of the inner chamber.
2. Lead the temperature sensor of the reference measuring instrument through measuring port into the
inner chamber.
If a high vacuum is needed, use a measuring access port (BINDER order no. 8012-0262) to close the
measuring port (see Operating Manual).
If the vacuum may be lower, use a silicone plug with a hole for the sensor wire to close the measuring
port.
The hole in the silicon plug with the sensor wire shall be sealed with silicon three days before the plug is
used.
3. Fix the temperature sensor in the center of the expansion rack with thermal conductive paste or heat-
proof adhesive metal tape to ensure sufficient thermal conductivity.
4. Switch on the VD.
5. Set the vacuum drying oven to the end vacuum that can be reached with the measurement installation.
6. Set the temperature to that value at which the unit should be calibrated (see chap. 9.1, page 52)
7. Before starting the calibration and adjustment the VD shall be in thermal steady-state condition.
The thermal steady-state condition is that operating state at which the value of the temperature is not
changing more than the specified fluctuation in the useable space of the VD (see chap. “Technical data”
in the “Operation manual”).
If the VD has been storaged at the permitted ambient operating temperature of +18°C (64.4°F) to +32°C
(89.6°F) for more than 12 hours, the empirical time to reach the steady-state condition for the VD is
12 hours after switching on.
During the first three hours of the temperature equilibration the test of the vacuum / aeration
unit may be performed (see chap. 4.1, page 15).
Inform the operating staff of the VD about this changing.

9.3 Calibrating the temperature controller

1. When the VD has reached the steady-state condition compare the current displayed temperature of the
VD with the displayed temperature of the reference measuring instrument.
The temperature controller shall be adjusted if the deviation of the current displayed temperature of the
VD and the displayed temperature of the reference measuring instrument is found to be larger than the
confidence criteria:
 VD 23 / 23-UL
± 2 °C at 100 °C set temperature
 VD 53 / 53-UL
± 2.5 °C at 100 °C set temperature
± 4.5 °C at 200 °C set temperature
 VD 115 / 115-UL
2. Reset the temperature adjustment if the temperature control shall be adjusted (chap. 9.4, page 54).
9.4 Resetting the temperature adjustment

Before the unit can be re-adjusted the current adjustment has to be reset and the input value correction has
to be switched off.
