I. RANGE OF APPLICATION

1.1 This constant temperature & humidity chamber is mainly used to test your
specimens by making the specimens exposed under a circumstance with preset
temperature and humidity, imitating how the change of natural environment gives
to the specimens. And so, the R&D people should pay attention about how to
strengthen the characters of atmosphere resistance, and so achieve the target of
products improvement.
1.2 This chamber adopts high sensitivity components and easy-to-operate controllers.
It is very easy and convenient for any user to operate.

PRECAUTIONS

4.1 Suitable power supply

1 220V 60Hz
3 220V 50Hz
3 380V 60Hz

4.2 Suitable diameter of cables

2.0mm2 8.0mm2
3.5mm2 14mm2
5.5mm2 22mm2

4.3 Power consumption: ________A

4.4 Please use independent power source. Do not let this chamber share the power
with other machines. Otherwise, the descending of the voltage would influence the
mechanical characters, and would even cause defects and pauze of the chamber.
4.5 Keep it all good air circulation around the chamber so that the condenser can have
the best performance of heat dispersion. Keep this chamber away from direct
sunshine or other heat sources like stoves in order to avoid its freezing effects.
4.6 Do not turn on this chamber in case it is violently moved. Wait for two hours after it
stays still and then turn on the power of this chamber.

4.7 Even though this chamber adopts stainless steel boards as the shell body, the
atmosphere with gloom and high humidity would cause the controller and some
sensitive parts malfunctional or defective, and which might shorten the lifetime of
some parts. Keep the atmosphere dry, cool and clean.
4.8 If this chamber is running under 0℃, try not to open the chamber door. Because
when it is functioning under low temperature, opening the chamber door would
easily cause the situation of “ice-seal” upon the vaporizer and some other parts.
The lower the temperature, the worse the situation. If it is absolutely necessary to
open the chamber door, try to minimize the time duration.
4.9 The stability of the power is very important to this chamber. If the voltage is lower
than the nominal one, please procure a voltage stabilizer by yourself. Otherwise,
the test won’t start or the motor or the controller could be burnt due to the
insufficient voltage.
4.10 Both the controller and the recorder are of high sensitive instruments made by
precise electronic components, please make sure the wiring for grounding is
well-connected.
4.11 Please make the wiring of grounding well-connected in order to avoid any power
leakage.
4.12 Try not to re-open the freezing system within three minutes after it is shut down.
Otherwise, the compressor would be damaged easily.

humidifying bucket and wet ball cup.

5.3.3 If the water in the water return tank is insufficient, please make up the water
immediately.
5.3.4 Although this chamber is provided with automatic water return device, yet, water
in the water return tank shall be inspected from time to time in order to make
sure that the water in the water return tank is sufficient.
5.3.5 Set the required temperature value
★ Please refer to Operation Manual of PLC temperature controller or the simple
operation examples.

5.3.6 Set the required humidity value.

★ Please refer to Operation Manual of PLC temperature controller or the simple
operation examples.

VI. INSPECTION
6.1 Both the water storage tank and water return tank shall be cleaned regular basis
thus maintaining cleanliness of the water in the tanks.

6.2 The water in the humidifying tank shall be drained on regular basis thus preventing
water quality mutation from affecting the function of the heating system.

6.3 When only above room temperature test is performed, the gauze in the wet ball
cup should be removed to prevent the gauze from starching.

6.4 If the gauze has been subjected to the high temperature operation of 85°C or
above, please replace the gauze before next operation; otherwise, the old gauze
cannot absorb the water any more.

6.5 Prior to gauze replacement, the new gauze shall be immersed in hot water to get
rid of the starch on the gauze before use.

6.6 Gauze to be used for testing shall be replaced once in early three months thus
ensuring the accuracy of the experiment.

6.7 Dust on the condenser shall be removed on regular basis and the condenser shall
at least be maintained once a month thus ensuring the function of the condenser.

PS: The impurities on the condenser can be removed by vacuum cleaner or

compressed air.

window.

6.9 If this chamber is equipped with recorder, just turn on the button of the recorder, if
necessary.

6.10 Testing hole is provided on the left side of the chamber, it can be connected with
the circuit inside the chamber.
