*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 50Hz 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.
Chart Recorder (Optional) Honeywell DR4300 Series. One pen, 10" circular chart. Mounts in lower front door.

 
Input Power Requirements
230 V ±10%, 60 Hz, 3 Phase Max Current Draw 39 A; Recommended Service 50 A
208 V -5/+10%, 60 Hz, 3 Phase Max Current Draw 35 A; Recommended Service 45 A

Input may be configured for 230 V or 208 V in the field by changing jumpers. Three phase load is balanced. Call for other voltages or 50Hz operation. Performance is reduced by 17% with 50Hz input power.

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

Minimum Installed Clearance 18" from the left and right side
24" from the rear
Window Viewing Area 18" W x 12" H
Access Ports 4" Port on left and right side (two total). Supplied with foam plugs.
Weight Chamber Weight: 1,130 pounds
Shipping Weight: 1,280 pounds
Sound Level 68 dBA in cooling mode (A-weighted, measured 36" from the front surface, 63" from the floor, in a free-standing environment)

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.
