If the input voltage configuration is changed, this label must be replaced to reflect the new configuration. Replacement labels are available from TestEquity at no charge. ! CAUTION: This chamber must be properly configured for either 208 V or 230 V nominal input. -
Page 6: Operation Safety Notices
! CAUTION: The Temperature Controller’s “Alarm” functions are NOT used in the chamber’s safety system and are NOT connected. TestEquity does NOT recommend using the Temperature Controller’s alarm function as the main protection device. The independent EZ-Zone Limit Controller functions as the main protection device. -

Chapter 2 – Installation Uncrating Inspect the shipping container for any signs of visible damage. Notify the carrier and TestEquity immediately if there are signs of shipping damage. The pallet is designed with ramps so the chamber can be rolled off without the need for a forklift or pallet jack. -

Make sure that all connectors, wiring, pc boards, and auxiliary components can withstand the temperature extremes that they will be subjected to. In some cases, these components may not be able to last after repeated tests and should be considered expendable. Page 3-4 TestEquity 1007S Temperature Chamber... -
Page 15: Chamber Relief Vent
The vent body can become hot or cold depending on the workspace condition. The vent assembly has a drip pan to catch any condensate that may occur. TestEquity 1007S Temperature Chamber Page 3-5... -
Page 17: Chapter 4 - Limit Controller
Not all features or functions are applicable. Only the capabilities of a model PM6L1AJ-AAAABAA are applicable. ! CAUTION: The EZ-Zone Limit Controller has been properly configured by TestEquity to match the chamber’s system requirements. Improper modifications to these setup values can result in unreliable and unsafe operation. Do not attempt to modify the setup values, unless you thoroughly understand what you are doing. -

Then, you must press the RESET or EZ Key to resume normal operation. Silencing the Audible Alarm Turning off the MASTER switch on the chamber front panel lets you temporarily turn off the Audible Alarm, even though the High or Low Limit condition may still exist.

50 Hz rating of 200 V. This transformer is available from TestEquity for a reasonable cost and is easy to install in the field. Note that the cooling performance will be reduced by 17% at 50 Hz. Please call TestEquity for details on reconfiguring for 50 Hz operation. - Page 24 “How to inspect the refrigeration machinery compartment” and “How to check the refrigerant charge” before placing the chamber back into service to make sure that no damage has occurred.

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. TestEquity 1007S Temperature Chamber Page 7-1... -
Page 29: Preventive Maintenance Intervals
• Inspect the refrigeration machinery compartment. • Check the refrigeration charge. • Verify the chamber performance. Every 6 Months • Inspect the electrical compartment. • Clean the condenser. Every 12 Months • Verify the calibration. TestEquity 1007S Temperature Chamber Page 8-1... -

4. If you see bubbles or it appears partially full, then this indicates that there is probably a leak. 5. When the Temperature Controller is cycling (Cool Light cycles on/off), the sightglass may appear 1/2 to 2/3 full. This is normal. TestEquity 1007S Temperature Chamber Page 8-3... -
Page 32: How To Verify The Chamber Performance
These tests assume that the Temperature Controller’s setup and tuning values have not been changed from the values as shipped from TestEquity. Also, the Limit Controller high limit must be set to over +85°C (+88°C would be fine), and the low limit set to –75°C. -
Page 33: How To Inspect The Electrical Compartment
TestEquity recommends verifying the calibration before attempting to actually perform a calibration. The state-of-the-art instrumentation used in TestEquity chambers is of the highest quality and seldom goes out of calibration. If you try to calibrate the instrumentation before determining that calibration is necessary, you may make it worse if done incorrectly. - Page 34 For the F4T Controller: If calibration of the temperature controller is necessary, refer to the “F4T Touch Screen Controller User’s Guide”. For the F4 Controller: If calibration of the temperature controller is necessary, refer to the “F4 Temperature Controller User’s Manual”. Page 8-6 TestEquity 1007S Temperature Chamber...

Page 35: Theory Of Operation
As the high pressure vapor passes through the condenser, it is cooled by a fan, which blows ambient air across the finned condenser surface. The vapor condenses into a liquid and the cycle is repeated. TestEquity 1007S Temperature Chamber Page 8-7... - Page 36 The compressor has a crankcase heater to prevent refrigerant from condensing in the oil when the compressor is off. The temperature controller has internal logic to turn the compressor on if cooling is required to maintain the temperature set point. Page 8-8 TestEquity 1007S Temperature Chamber...
