Access Ports
Ports are available in nominal sizes of 1", 2" and 3"; a 1" port is standard with your order. Additional quantities and sizes are factory installed at customer specified locations.
Chart Recorder
A recorder can be factory installed into the control panel for permanent record of chamber conditions. The recorder types include 10" circular, 12" circular, and strip chart fan fold for multi-point applications.
Classified / Hazardous Interior
The chamber interior may be constructed to Class I Division I or Class I Division II requirements, per NEC guidelines. Note:This applies to interior construction only and does not apply to chambers located within hazardous areas.
Condensate Pump
A shallow pan pump can be provided to move condensate / drain water to remote locations (within 15' vertically). The pump operates on standard 120V receptacle power.
Heated Condensate Pan
A heating pan can be provided to evaporate condensate / drain water. This is an ideal alternative to the condensate pump. The pan operates on standard 120V receptacle power.
Data Communications
Data communications allow for remote computer monitoring of any controlled parameter. The RS-485 option offers monitoring and control of the parameter(s), while the 4-20mA option offers remote monitoring (only) at a reduced cost. Both are compatible with most monitoring SCADA systems (SCADA -Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems).
Dry Air Tower
A dry air tower is available for extended low humidity performance without drier reject heat or for frost-free operation below 0° C. This is designated as the“AT” option and is indicated as a suffix on the standard model “CDM” only.
Duplex Receptacle
A single 3A receptacle may be provided on the interior back wall of the chamber for small electric / electronic equipment. Note: Higher amperage loads require special review for cooling system requirements.
Floor Plate & Ramp
Single or multiple floor plates allow for heavy product loads up to 50 lb per square foot. One removable ramp is included to allow for roll-up into the chamber. |
Glass Door / View Window
A factory installed, triple-pane glass window is available for easy viewing of products in test. The nominal sizes are 23" x 47" for upright chambers and 23" x 23" for the benchtop chamber. Note: This option limits the low end range to
0° C.
International / Special Voltages
All models and sizes are available in 50 Hz 220-240V design. This option includes the internationally recognized CE mark and special crating system for air / sea shipments. Other special volt-ages (120V) are available upon request.
Lighting Control
For light testing applications, refer to the PHOTOSTABILITY CHAMBERS literature for detailed information on this complete line of high quality light chambers. For general lighting applications, consult the factory for various lamp and fixture options.
Low Temperature
All “C” chamber models can be provided with -25° C capability, excluding the benchtop model. This is designated as the “LT” option and is indicated as a suffix on the standard model code.
NEMA Cord Set
The chambers may be purchased with the optional plug & receptacle set to allow for plug-in capability as opposed to standard hard-wire. The plug-in capability allows for easy movement to different areas within a building.
Phone Dialer / Pager
A compact, easy-to-use dialer system can be supplied pre-mounted on the chamber. Upon detection of high & low alarm events, the system will dial out with recorded announcements or pager text.
Programmable / Ramping Control
This option allows for automatic sequencing of different temperature and humidity conditions (if applicable). Up to (9) programs may be entered, each with up to (16) setpoints. Please request the "ramping" sales bulletin for more information on this offering.
Mechanical Redundancy
The doublewide and triplewide models (74 & 114 ft.3) may be provided with a duplicate refrigeration and airflow system. The control system periodically switches between the (2) systems and will automatically lock on one system upon detection of a fault with the other. |
Water System
A water purification system is available to protect your chamber's humidification system from deposit build-up from untreated tap water. The system uses standard replaceable filters.
Stainless Shelves
Refer to the PRODUCT SHELVING paragraph for details. This option is available as standard for 130lb distributed load, or "heavy duty" reinforced design for higher loads (specified at time of request).
Stainless Benchtop Stand
The benchtop size chamber can be com-plemented with either a 30" high stainless steel single-unit stand or 48" dual-unit stacking stand. Both stands are supplied with casters.
Stainless Cabinet Exterior
Chambers may be provided with 316 polished stainless steel exteriors and interiors. This option allows for more aggressive cleaning agents generally used on a periodic basis for interior and exterior decontamination.
UPS Backup Power
This option offers uninterruptible back-up power for the controls and recording device (if applicable). In the event of power loss, the control system will continue to display process values and record or retransmit values for monitoring purposes. Standard UPS models range from 20 minute backup to over 1 hour (specified at time of request).
Water Cooled Refrigeration System
The water cooled option can take advantage of building water (chilled or tap) to provide efficient cooling and low heat rejection to your room. This option should be considered for chamber environments that have very low air exchange and/or low additional cooling capacity. |
