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

Cool Down Transition Time

Start Temp	End Temp
Start Temp	+23°C	0°C	-40°C	-55°C	-65°C	-68°C
+23°C	-----	6 min	27 min	41 min	55 min	Ultimate
+85°C	18 min	28 min	54 min	70 min	85 min	Ultimate

Heat Up Transition Time
Start Temp	End Temp
Start Temp	+23°C	+50°C	+85°C	+125°C	+150°C	+175°C
+23°C	-----	2 min	12 min	24 min	33 min	Ultimate
0°C	3 min	9 min	18 min	32 min	41 min	Ultimate
-40°C	9 min	16 min	25 min	39 min	48 min	Ultimate
-55°C	14 min	18 min	31 min	44 min	53 min	Ultimate
-65°C	15 min	21 min	32 min	45 min	54 min	Ultimate

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 +85°C to -40°C = 125°C / 54 min = 2.3°C/min.
Heat Up Example: From -40°C to +85°C = 125°C / 25 min = 5.0°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 on 123C-EX 50 Hz export versions by 17%.

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.
