Original F4
Temperature Controller
Up to 256 steps can be programmed into as many as 40 nameable profiles. The
context sensitive information key and guided steps make profile programming
fast and easy. A four-line backlit LCD displays programming, setup, operating
and help information. A large LED readout indicates the actual chamber temperature
with 0.1° resolution. Internal logic provides refrigeration compressor
control for responsive and reliable performance. Includes two alarms and seven
event outputs to control remote devices. RS-232C communications is also included.
GPIB, Ethernet and analog retransmit are available as options.

High/Low Temperature Limit Controller and Alarm
Provides independent
protection against excess temperatures. Both high and low limits can be set.
The upper LED readout indicates the actual chamber temperature while the lower
readout indicates the status The limit controller will shut down the chamber
and trigger the audible alarm in the event of an out of limit condition. A
set of uncommitted contacts are available to provide a safety power interlock
for your test sample.
Accurate Humidity Measurement
A fast responding Vaisala capacitive-type sensor eliminates the need for unreliable
wet-wicks.
GN2 Purge Capability Standard
For low humdity conditions below 6°C Dewpoint (requires customer-supplied
gaseous nitrogen supply). More Info >>
Optional Dry Air Purge Capability - Field Upgradeable
Optional Dry Air Purge is easy to add in the field
(requires customer-supplied compressed air supply). More
Info >>
Event Relays Standard
Four uncommitted solid-state relays are provided to switch the power to remote
AC devices via the F4 Temperature/Humidity Controller.
Viewing Window
Heated multi-pane window eliminates fog and condensation without a manual wiper.
Two 4in Access Ports
Lets you attach wires and sensors to your test sample through both the left
and right side of the chamber.
Adjustable Shelf
A heavy-duty stainless steel wire shelf ensures proper airflow around your
test sample for uniform temperature distribution.
Casters
Rugged casters permit easy movement.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Accurate Humidity Measurement
A fast responding capacitive-type sensor eliminates the need for unreliable
wet-wicks.
Reliable Vapor Generator
Unlike atomizing systems, the heated vapor generator has no pump
to fail or orifice to clog. The stainless-steel vapor generator assembly is
double-protected against low-water and over-temperature conditions.
No-Sweat Cabinet
We use a combination of structural foam and fiberglass blanket insulation for
a higher combined R-factor than just fiberglass alone. The door sealing surface
is kept warm by circulating excess heat from the refrigeration system. The
result is a cabinet that does not sweat due to condensation during low temperature
operation.
Water Recirculation System
The optional water recirculation system provides
a reliable source of demineralized water for the humidity system, using ordinary
tap or pre-filtered water. Condensate from the chamber is returned back to
the water tank. The recirculation pump operates only when needed to fill the
chamber's humidifier to the correct level. Perfect for installations where
a water line and drain are not available.

Reliability & Safety That's Designed In
Non-CFC refrigerants are used in a cascade (two compressors) configuration.
Expansion valves provide optimum performance throughout the operating range.
Pressure regulators keep the operating pressures within safe limits regardless
of load conditions. Liquid injection ensures cool compressor operation during
high-temperature pull down for long life. Sequential starting of each compressor
reduces the current demand on start-up. Each compressor is protected by high/low
pressure switches. Care has been taken to use a minimum number of fittings,
joints and welds to reduce the possibility of refrigerant leaks.
All electrical control components are UL approved. The nichrome air-heater has a low watt-density and even heat distribution for reliable performance and fast response. A fusible link provides fail-safe protection against thermal runaways, in addition to the microprocessor-based high/low limit controller.
The side and rear panels are removable to permit complete access to the refrigeration and humidity system for ease of service and preventive maintenance.
