Design and description
Range A:
In this range, temperature and humidity can be combined as you please, without resulting in
any significant condensation. If there are extreme ambient conditions, the working range may
be restricted.
Range B:
If the specified range is exceeded upwards, e.g. 80 % rh at 60°C, the hot steam fed in will im-
mediately condense, due to the dew-point, at the coldest point in the appliance.
Range C:
At low temperatures and low relative air humidity, the effective range is heavily dependent on
the degree of humidity of the chamber load.
2.4 Basic equipment
Low-noise, long-life and energy-saving Peltier cooling and heating technology (in heat-
ing mode, part of the energy required is extracted from the surroundings = heat pump
principle)
Electronic fuzzy-supported PID process controller with permanent performance adjust-
ments and time-saving self-diagnosis system to quickly locate errors (see pages 38 and 45)
Alphanumeric text display
Control of the appliance and logging the actual values with a preformatted empty
MEMoryCard XL (storage capacity 32 kByte, reprogrammable for up to 40 ramp segments
and in addition 135 hours of log memory for temperature and humidity with a scanning
interval of 1 minute)
Programme sequence control for up to 40 ramp segments
Integrated week time switch with group function (e.g. all working days)
Retracting push-turn control for simple operation
Optical alarm display
Integrated horn as alarm if limit values are crossed, as acoustic signal when programme
ends and to confirm input (button click)
Digital monitoring control for overtemperature, undertemperature and automatic tem-
perature monitor (ASF)
Two separate Pt100 temperature sensors DIN class A in a 4-wire circuit for control and
monitoring
Parallel printer port (PCL3-compatible)
USB interface for computer-based temperature control programmes and to read out the
controller’s internal log memory
MEMMERT software "Celsius" for remote control of the chamber via computer (see page
37) and to read out the internal controller log memory
As an optional accessory, external card reader for MEMory-Card XL for connection to the
PC-USB interface, printer cable (parallel, shielded)- 25-pin
Language setting (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian)
Capacitive humidity sensor
Active humidity control guarantees that setpoint humidity is quickly achieved, with short
recovery times, and avoiding condensation formation
