Climatic Chamber
The PAC series of climatic chambers are a great choice for cyclic low, high temperature and humidity tests. Built with the highest quality and reliability, this chamber can meet the most stringent testing needs of various international standards such as ASTM, IEC, MIL, DIN, etc.
The PAC series of climatic chambers are a great choice for cyclic low, high temperature and humidity tests. Built with the highest quality and reliability, this chamber can meet the most stringent testing needs of various international standards such as ASTM, IEC, MIL, DIN, etc.
CME will help you to test the influence of temperature and humidity on the properties, function and lifespan of your products. Reproducible, certified and under accelerated conditions.
Designed and developed by CME’s global R&D team the chamber is engineered with the latest simulation technology with an objective to offer unparalleled testing experience to the customers. The highly responsive touchscreen controller (Envicom Graphite Series) used in this chamber is bundled with whole lots of features, such as Chamber Analytics, On-demand cooling, onscreen diagnostics, safety alarms. It is also integrated with networking ports such as Ethernet, RS 232, RS 485 along with 2GB SD card for test data storage. The features also include the integration with third party software such as NI/Lab view.
The biggest advantage with CME chambers is that they are highly flexible for customization. Every test follows a set of procedures as per the defined test standards (ASTM, IEC, MIL, etc.) and sometimes a standard climatic chamber might not be enough to conduct a particular test. Our engineers understand this need of the industry and offer the highest level of customisation such as design modification, high performance ramp rates or integration with other applications such as Climatic Chamber with UTM integration, Climatic Chamber with Vibration Integration.

Ethernet
Ethernet capability to remotely monitor and control the chamber.
USB
USB Type-A host port to connect a keyboard or mouse or download CSV data via pen drive [max 2GB] USB Type-B data port for connection to PC for software upgrade and access memory card storage
Web Server
Built-in web server allows remote view or control from any internet connected PC, tablet or smart phone
NI Lab view
The communication which used is MODBUS RTU protocol, which is an international standard for communication in process instrumentation and automation. Necessary changes to be made in the user’s software to communicate this in MODBUS RTU universal protocol. This feature can be used manual mode only.
Hardware
Enhanced with modular controller integrating multi-zone PID control and data acquisition. SIMATIC programmable logic controller. Touch screen controller, PLC and other controller components are of a generic make with an OEM software. Free software upgrades up to one year.
Memory
SD card of 2GB memory will store all the test program data and also the diagnostic data. This card is accessible by USB and Ethernet.
Digital Events
1 digital output for switching test specimen via potential free contacts, load max. 24 VDC, 5A
Programs
99 independent programs can be stored with name and number. Each of these programs have segments which can be looped to a previous segment and repeated up to 999 cycles, creating almost unlimited number of segments The chamber can be operated in manual mode, where the set point can directly be changed in the home screen The ramp rate can be set as a value in °C/min or ramp time Graphical representation of the temperature program The time is logged only when the set valve is within the band.
