Model 1007H Temperature/Humidity Chamber Specifications


Temperature Range
-73°C to +175°C

Control Tolerance
±0.5°C (±0.2°C Typical) (Short-term variations measured at the control sensor after stabilization)

Uniformity
±1°C (Variations throughout the chamber after stabilization)

Rate Of Change
To calculate rate of change for a particular condition, take the difference between the Start Temp and End Temp and divide by the Transition Time.
Cool Down Example: From +50°C to -40°C = 90°C / 27 min = 3.33°C/min.
Heat Up Example: From -40°C to +50°C = 90°C / 11 min = 8.18°C/min.

*Note: Transition times are measured after a 2 hour soak at the respective start temperature with an empty chamber, as indicated on the temperature controller, 23°C ambient. Measured with setpoint beyond the start and end temperatures. Does not include the effect of proportional band when approaching setpoint. Performance is reduced by 17% with 50 Hz input power.

Instrumentation
Temperature Controller Watlow F4T Touch Screen Controller with RS-232, Ethernet interface, 4.3" color graphic touch screen. OR...
Watlow F4 Controller with RS-232 interface, LED readout of temperature, LCD display of other parameters.
Limit Controller Independent high and low temperature limits. Triggers an audible alarm and shuts down the chamber. Relay contacts provide a safety power interlock for test sample.

Input Power Requirements
Phase Current Draw Minimum Service
230 V ±10%, 60 Hz 1 PH 25 A 30 A
3 PH 19 A 25 A
208 V -5/+10%, 60 Hz 1 PH 28 A 35 A
3 PH 21 A 30 A

Input may be configured for single or three phase in the field by changing jumpers. Three phase load is semi-balanced. Call for other voltages or 50 Hz operation. Performance is reduced by 17% at 50 Hz.

Customer power source must be hard-wired to the chamber by a qualified electrician. Power cord and plug is not included.

 
Humidity Water Requirements
Supply and Drain Must be provided with a water line and floor drain. Negligible consumption.
Water Recirculation System (optional) Provides a reliable supply of filtered water for the humidity system. Perfect for installations where a water line and drain are not available.

NOTE: Performance is typical and based on operation at 23°C (73°F) ambient and nominal input voltage. Designed for use in a normal conditioned laboratory. Operation at higher ambient temperatures may result in decreased cooling performance. Additional ports and shelves will also affect performance. Operation above 30°C (85°F) or below 16°C (60°F) ambient is not recommended.
