QUICK START GUIDE Read Before Turning On The Unit After receiving the unit, open the door to let the chamber dry for 10 minutes. Use soft paper tower to wipe the water in the chamber if needed. Turn on the unit and set the temperature to 30 °C and humidity to 30 % to let the unit settle, approximately for 20 minutes (first time only).
REPLACING THE DESICCANT Supplies Needed External Desiccant Desiccant Tank Desiccant Canister Remove the Desiccant Canister Remove the tubes from both unit and desiccant canister. To remove the tubes from desiccant, press the fitting first and pull to remove. Locate the Desiccant Seal Remove the seal screws by turning clockwise and pull to remove.
Page 17
Fill with Desiccant The desiccant canister takes approximately 12.5 lbs of desiccant material. Reseal the Desiccant Canister Put the cover back and reseal the screws.
FILLING THE RESERVOIR Supplies Needed Distilled Water Fill Syringe Only Locate the Fill Port The port is labeled and located on the middle lower portion of the front panel. Remove the Fill Cap Rotate Counter-Clockwise to remove. Fill Syringe with Distilled Water Attach Fill Syringe to Fill Port Press the fill syringe tip into the fill port, then rotate the cap clockwise to secure.
Page 19
FILLING THE RESERVOIR Elevate and Fill Syringe - Pour distilled water into the elevated tube body. - Take care not to insert any air into the reservoir. - Monitor the water level indicator while filling. Loosen and Remove Syringe Turn the fill syringe tip counter-clockwise to loosen. Re-Install the Fill Cap Turn the cap clockwise to tighten the cap and seal the fill port.

Measure the diameter of the UUT to ensure it will fit inside the chamber. Ensure the door is securely fastened to the chamber. Insert UUT Insert your UUT at least 3 inches into the Model 4000 EXP chamber. Program Unit Set-points Allow the unit to reach the programmed set-points and settle.
Control Probe / Reference Sensor Overview The Model 4000 EXP functions through the use of a dual PID controller. This controller takes the hu- midity and temperature values from an internal capacitance probe and further performs calculations that are then used to generate the user entered humidity and temperature set points. This sensor is factory calibrated, and upon request, additionally calibrated by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory using either a chilled mirror or two-pressure primary reference standard.
