TEMPERATURE CHAMBER - EC0X MODEL
The EC0x series of temperature test chambers feature the TC01 controller. While not as flexible as the TC10 controller used in our EC1x model temperature chambers, the TC01 is still an extremely reliable digital PID controller capable of satisfying most temperature testing requirements. The controller can store up to 10 temperature set points and soak times, has 2 auxilliary outputs, 1 auxilliary input and an IEEE-488 (GPIB), RS232 remote interface for remote communication and temperature data logging.
The EC0x model temperature chamber is available in 4 sizes ranging from .37 ft3 to 3.0 ft3 of working volume. The chambers use vertical air flow with convection style heating and have a temperature range of -184°C to 314°C (using LN2) or -73°C to 314°C (using LCO2). The chambers can be equipped with options such as 1" to 4" circular ports, adjustable shelves, an electronic failsafe and pull off or hinged (with or without window) door. Chamber racks are available for the EC01, EC02 and EC03 models. The EC0A model is equipped with 19" rack ears (shown at left).
The summary table below can be used to compare the EC0x models.
If you have more complex testing then the EC0x models can provide, then our EC1x model temperature chambers might be the chamber to satisfy these requirements.
