2.0 CHAMBER Description The Model 5506 is a 9.0 cubic foot (0.26 cu. m), sealed chamber fabricated from 0.25” (6mm) and 0.375” (9.5mm) clear and white acrylic and measures 36”Wx24”Dx18”H (92x61x46 cm). Access to the chamber is through a 12” (30.5cm) square opening. A heavy-duty, 0.5” (13mm) clear acrylic door, secured by a single ½-turn latch, along with a compression resistant gasket ensures an airtight seal when the door is locked. -

Installation Place the chamber on an appropriate support surface such as a bench or desk. Open the latch by turning the handle counterclockwise until the cam turns away from the chamber wall and then open the access door. Place the object(s)to be stored or tested inside the chamber and feed any cables through the cable pass-through located at the rear of the left panel. -

Figure 3.1-2: Control/Solenoid/Flow Regulator unit The Control Unit is designed as a complete assembly. There are no user controls except the flow regulator adjust knob. The only indicator is a Green LED that indicates the solenoid is on and supplying gas to the chamber. 3.1.2 System Function The Humidity Sensor measures the relative humidity inside the chamber. - Page 11 unit. Then plug the power module into the appropriate power outlet (MAINS). This will automatically power up the Control unit. There is no power ON/OFF switch. 3. Wait 3 minutes and check the Green LED mounted on top of the unit. If the ambient humidity is above the fixed set point the solenoid will be activated and the LED should light.

NOTE: If returning to the factory for repair or replacement, first obtain a RMA number from ETS by calling 215-887-2196 Ext. 220. 3.1.6 Troubleshooting The Model 5311 should provide trouble-free service. If a problem with the system is suspected, it is recommended the fault be initially isolated to either the Sensor, Control Unit or solenoid. -

2. Green LED does not come on even though the humidity level inside the chamber is known to be at least several percent above the fixed set point of the Model 5311. Return unit to factory. 3. Obviously incorrect humidity control – If sensor was removed from its connector, check to see that it has been replaced properly. -

Package E utilizes the ETS Model 5461 Desiccant/Pump Dehumidification System to dry the chamber. As an option, the ETS Model 5465 Dry Gas Dehumidification System may be substituted for the Model 5461. This system uses a solenoid valve to... - Page 15 The sensor is mounted to the wall of the chamber using a ½” NPT compression fitting installed in the chamber wall. Other mounting configurations can also be used to meet the user’s specific requirement. The Control Unit provides the necessary indicators and controls to set the desired humidity level and to measure the actual humidity level in the chamber.
- Page 16 The system Power switch and the controlled North American 3-prong grounded outlet are located on the rear panel as shown in Figure 3.2-3. Figure 3.2-3: Control Unit rear panel The Power switch, Fuse and AC line cord are separate components that control the power input to the Model 5112 Controller.
- Page 17 NOTE: A 115 VAC pump or solenoid must be used when operating at 115 VAC and a 230 VAC pump or solenoid must be used when operating at 230 VAC. This 18” (46cm) hard wired cable provides the input/output interconnect between the Controller and the Humidity Sensor.

DEHUMIDIFIER switch is in the OFF (out) position. Plug the Dehumidification System into the AC outlet. NOTE: All ETS operating systems utilize the standard 3-prong North American plug. A 230V/50Hz system will be marked as 230V, but will still have the same 3-prong plug 3. - Page 20 is reached. It will continue to cycle to maintain the set point level. 3.2.3.2 Installation The Humidity Sensor is normally mounted in the bulkhead using the compression fitting. However, other mounting locations may be used to meet user requirements. CAUTION: The sensing element is sealed within the sensor assembly protected against mechanical damage by a slotted housing cover.
