Model 140 Temperature 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
±0.5°C (Variations throughout the chamber after stabilization)

0°C 1.5 min 3.5 min 13 min 20 min 23 min Ultimate
-40°C 6 min 11 min 17 min 24 min 30 min Ultimate
-55°C 8 min 13 min 19 min 26 min 32 min Ultimate
-65°C 10 min 14 min 21 min 28 min 34 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 / 31 min = 4.03°C/min.
Heat Up Example: From -40°C to +85°C = 125°C / 17 min = 7.35°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

Input Voltage 208 V -5/+10%, 1 PH, or 230 V ±10%, Single Phase, 60 Hz
Max Current Draw 25 A; Required Service 30 A
Power Cord and Plug Power cord, 14-feet, with a molded NEMA L6-30P plug
Operation at 50 Hz requires internal transformer option TE-0725. Cooling performance is reduced 17% at 50 Hz.

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. Performance is reduced by 17% at 50 Hz input power.
