Total Residual Deposits to a minimum can result in premature failure of the Humidifier Tank. An alternative method to Mains water is to use a water supply from a gravity fed tank. Thermoline supply an optional 25 litre water tank complete with flexible hose and connection fittings. This should be elevated by at least 1 metre and filled with water, the 25 litres would last at least 2 ½... -
Page 6: Assembly & Installation
DRAIN: Because we are controlling humidity levels inside the cabinet, there will always be water condensing and coming out of the drain inside the cabinet. There is also a drain valve on the humidifier tank for maintenance, and an overflow pipe in case of a malfunction. Therefore it is essential that the location for the cabinet has a floor drain for the water to flow into. - Page 7 INSTALLATION: Locate the cabinet in a well ventilated area on a firm level surface as described earlier. Make sure that the 2 x wall spacing rods are screwed into the frame at the rear of the cabinet (See figure 1). This will ensure that the air flow through the refrigeration condenser is not impeded.

Page 8: Function
FUNCTION: This equipment is used to provide an economical and accurate temperature and humidity controlled environment for laboratory evaluation and long term storage of products, within the range shown below in the TRH control envelope. WARNING: Do not use flammable solvents or combustible materials as fire or explosion may occur. - Page 9 TEMPERATURE: The air is heated by means of an element below the false floor, and cooled by means of the bare pipe evaporator. The refrigeration unit is located in the area below the cabinet. The STAR-700 controller cycles the heating and cooling to maintain stable temperature. HUMIDITY: The air is humidified by steam from the steam generator located in the area below the main cabinet.

Page 10: Explanation Of Controls
EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS Access: The STAR-700 Controller is located in the front door. On initial power up the STAR-700 displays the screensaver. See STAR-700 Operating Guidelines on how to exit screensaver mode. Figure 3: Control Panel. Temperature/Humidity Control: The STAR-700 microprocessor controller allows accurate control of the Temperature and Humidity with in the cabinet. -

Figure 4: Humidifier Components. OTHER CONTROLS: Element Safety Thermostat: This is a factory set thermostat that will only trip in the event that the cabinet exceeds its maximum temperature of 60.0degC. Water Pressure Regulator: Located behind the hinged access panel in the base of the cabinet. Needle Valve: Located behind the water pressure regulator. -
Page 12: Operating The Cabinet
OPERATING THE CABINET 1) Ensure that the cabinet is located as previously described, refer to the index, LOCATION, Page 4. 2) Loading/Unloading the Cabinet Load Distribution There is a direct relationship between the temperature/humidity uniformity throughout the workspace and the air distribution. If the air cannot freely circulate, then the controlled conditions cannot be maintained. -
Page 13: Star-700 Operating Guidelines
‘STAR-700’ TOUCHSCREEN OPERATING GUIDELINES. Safe Operating Value (SOV). On initial Power up the STAR-700 Touchscreen shows the Screen Saver page. See Below Image. On Initial power up cabinet controls the ‘Safe Operating Value’ only. The Touchscreen is fitted with a Security Screensaver to stop unauthorised access to the controlling parameters. This Security Screensaver becomes active if the Touchscreen has not been touched for more than 5minutes or if power is cycled. - Page 14 Security Screensaver with User Access Window.

This is achieved by not using an End segment in a particular program. For example if your program requires the use of 15 segments we can use the 10 segments of Program 1 and the first 5 segments of Program 2 making Segment 15 (5 Segment of Program 2) an End Segment type.
- Page 17 Segment Type: The segment type can either be a Time, Jump To, or End type. Time: This determines that the segment is a period of time. The time is set in Hours, Minutes and Seconds. Jump To: This allows the program to repeat a predetermined set of segments.
- Page 18 G’Soak Humidity: This is the Guaranteed Soak Parameter and is only visible if the Guaranteed Soak is enabled. This parameter is generally not used on the Climatron range of Plant Growth Cabinets as it can extend the time of a Diurnal Program effectively making the Diurnal Cycle longer than 24hours.
- Page 19 Program 1 Lighting/Event Segment 6-10 Program Features. There are a few other features of the program that cannot be changed but are described below. Guaranteed Soak: This is a tolerance value, set at +/-2.0degC, and guarantees that the Program Set Values for Temperature only are reached. If during a program cycle the Actual Temperature deviates the Program Set Value (PSV) by more than +/-2.0degC the program will be put into a hold mode until the Actual Temperature is within the PSV.

Page 30: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Apart from the normal levels of cleanliness, the cabinet should be regularly maintained to ensure trouble free operation. A “periodic inspection and maintenance” programme can be arrange in some Australian locations. Lubrication of moving parts is not necessary since all bearings are sealed, but there are one or two essential maintenance chores that should be performed regularly: CLEANING: The internal and external surfaces of the cabinet can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. -
