Environmental Test Chamber Options and Accessories

Listed below are the options that are available on most CSZ environmental test chambers.

Cabinet Options

Additional Access Ports
Additional circular, square, or rectangular ports are available in a variety of sizes. Ports may be placed on both sides of the test chamber for ease of cable routing.

Glove Ports
Two feed-through ports, typically placed in chamber door, with protective gloves designed to reach in chamber and turn off/on test devices while chamber is in operation.

Cable Notch
If routing cables through side ports is not an option for you, a cable notch may be placed in the front of your environmental test chamber.

Shelving
Additional product shelves are available for each CSZ test chamber. Custom shelves and fixtures are also available.

Stainless Steel Exterior
If you prefer an environmental test chamber with stainless steel exterior, CSZ can include this as an option on any chamber you request.

Instrumentation Options

Redundant Temperature Limit & Alarm
Provides essential failsafe over/under (hi/low) temperature protection for your valuable test items.

Windows-Based Software Package
CSZ EZ-Viewsoftware is available for monitoring and controlling up to 20 chambers from any location.

IEEE-488 Computer Interface
A parallel interface can be provided for interface with IEEE-488 parallel instrument control buss. A standard IEEE-488 connector is provided for easy connection to adjacent test equipment.

Chart Recorders
A selection of one or two pen chart recorders is available with a variety of pre-printed charts or self printing thermal charts.

Running Time Meter
The optional running time meter includes a non-resettable display which will accumulate the system running time for routine maintenance and planning purposes.

Main Power Disconnect
Provides an additional level of safety by shutting down the main power to the test chamber prior to maintenance or repair.

Performance & Refrigeration Options

CO2/LN2 Boost Cooling
Boost cooling is available for applications that require a fast pull down rate.

CO2/LN2 Cooling Only
CO2/LN2 cooled chambers are available without mechanical refrigeration for lower initial costs on applications requiring ultra low temperatures down to
-300°F.

Dry Air Purge System
A dry air purge system can be provided to reduce condensation within the chamber and on the test item during temperature cycling testing. This option is primarily used to prevent short circuits in electronic components and is also used for low humidity requirements.

Remote Refrigeration
Allows the refrigeration system to be located approximately 50 feet away from the testing chamber. This option is commonly used for labs with space restrictions or to minimize noise levels.

Refrigeration Sound Deadening
Although CSZ environmental test chambers are quiet operating, sound foam is available as an option to further reduce the noise generated by the refrigeration system. This option is commonly used in larger chambers.

Humidity Options

*Recirculating Humidity Water Supply
For customers that do not have a dionized water supply, CSZ provides a recirculating water system that collects condensate from the test chamber, filters it, and stores it in a reservoir for re-use.

Low Relative Humidity
For tests requiring humidity levels below 10% RH, CSZ provides an optional low humidity system for testing down to 5% RH.

Spare Water Demineralizer Cartridges
Additional demineralizer cartridges for your environmental chambers are available for overnight delivery. Cartridges will turn orange-brown when used and are easily replaceable.
