    UNIT OPERATION (MAIN DISPLAY) MAIN DISPLAY Figure 1 Main PC operational screen The Main screen of the GEO application is pictured above. The top area labeled Chamber Conditions shows the current environmental conditions in the chamber. The left values show the actual current readings, while the right values indicate the current set points.
  • Page 23 In the center area of the right portion of the screen in the area labeled is where the user may perform initial configuration of the GEO CIS-4.13, set up the ModBus and manage the experiments database. In bottom area of the righthand portion of the screen in the area labeled...
  • Page 24 Figure 4 Experiments, Configuration and Console Experiments The GEO CIS software allows the user to create experiments. An experiment is defined by a se- quence of one or more phases each of which independently control the chamber conditions. The user may define any number of experiments and each may have any number of phases. Each experiment has a Title which is the displayed name of the experiment.
  • Page 25 Figure 5 Experiment and Phase Definition Phase A phase defines the environmental conditions of the chamber for a period of time. Each phase has a naming convention, multiple phases may have the same naming. Optionally each phase may be logged independently to the experiment log into its own CSV file at its own data col- lection rate.

    CHANGING THE DOOR / OPENING THE CHAMBER Unscrew the Corner Screws Remove screws by turning in a counter-clockwise motion. Loosen Center Screw In some door variations, there is a center screw that serves the purpose of creating a tighter seal. If this screw exists, it must also be loosened using a counter-clockwise motion before the door can be removed.

    Ensure the door is securely fastened to the chamber. Insert UUT Insert your UUT at least 3 inches into the Model 2015 TS chamber. Program Unit Set-points Allow the unit to reach the programmed set-points and settle.

  • Page 34: System Recalibration

    • Uniformity – Mixing of the humidity and temperature inside the chamber can cause uniformity issues. GEO has a unique chamber design to achieve high uniformity within all GEO chambers. • Sensor/Probe Uncertainty – This is the largest contributor to system uncertainty and that is why system probes are calibrated using instruments and standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

  • Page 35: Reference Standard Recalibration

    Control Probe / Reference Sensor Overview The Model 2015 TS functions through the use of a dual PID controller. This controller takes the humid- ity 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.
  • Page 36 REFERENCE STANDARD RECALIBRATION Self Recalibration Procedure To read the recalibration procedure of the control / reference probe, please refer to the unit’s user manual, and the HW4 software manual found at the following URLs as of publication of this manual: https://s.campbellsci.com/documents/ca/manuals/hc2-s3-l_man.pdf https://goo.gl/n7qE1G https://www.instrumart.com/assets/rotronic-hygroclip2-probes-manual.pdf...

  • Page 45: Desiccant Change Visual Guide

    DESICCANT CHANGE VISUAL GUIDE Overview The Model 2015 TS ships with a fresh desiccant canister. Each time the Model 2015 TS dries the internal volume of air, the desiccant will become more saturated with water. For optimal performance, the user must periodically replenish or replace the used desiccant. The desiccant type is molecular sieve, which may be regenerated by the user through heating or baking.

  • Page 46: Replacing The Canister

    REPLACING THE CANISTER Power Off the Unit Ensure that the unit is powered off before proceeding with a desiccant change. Loosen Hook & Loop Straps Firmly Grasp Desiccant This will cause the old desiccant canister to slide from the female adapters. Remove this desiccant completely from the housing and set aside.
