Atec SE-1000 User Manual
Engineered to provide the most reliable test
results in the marketplace, the SE Series
Chambers extend our reputation for
exceptional reliability and long life.
■ High Performance Product Testing
Thermotron’s SE-1000 Series Environmental Test Chambers
incorporate a wide range of application-specific compressor
selections ranging from 3 to 15 Hp and are capable of
providing very rapid product temperature change rates.
Faster product temperature transitions reduce test cycle
times and boost lab productivity. Providing conditioning in
the center of the workspace where it is needed most,
Thermotron’s optimized airflow system improves gradient
control providing tighter uniformity, greater accuracy, and
better performance on products being tested.
■ 8800 Programmer Controller
With a brilliant 12" color touch screen display, the powerful
8800 Programmer Controller is Thermotrak II™ ready,
making operations and data collection easier and more
reliable than ever before. Our
controller has a Windows look
and feel to support familiar and
robust operations. The 8800 is
ethernet-compatible and web-
enabled with an Internet-ready
front end for virtual
anytime/anywhere access.
Multi-level, password-based
security protects sensitive data. The 8800 can be easily
retrofitted on-site to existing chambers.
■ Patented, Innovative Universal Port
The versatile universal port in the sidewall of our popular
SE-Series Chambers interfaces
with slide-up modules
expanding your chamber’s
ability to perform thermal
shock tests, HALT and HASS,
product test system integration
and remote conditioning
applications. The universal port
can be added to new or
existing SE-Series Chambers, increasing the flexibility and
productivity of your investment.

UNITED STATES PATENT NO. 6,976,340 and 5,631,429
A full range, modular humidity system can be added to SE-Series Test Chambers
either at the time of purchase or as a field retrofit. Performance specifications for
the humidity module are characterized by a wide range, precise uniformity and
tight control.
1 Standard deviation from mean, measured at -25°C (-13°F) or at +100°C (+212°F).
2 Noise Level: A-weighted sound pressure level measured at a distance of 1.0 meter
(39.4 inches) from the surface of the equipment at a height of 1.6 meters
(63 inches) from the floor in free-field conditions, using a calibrated instrument.
3
Limited by a +7°C (+45°F) minimum dew point temperature and
a maximum dry bulb temperature of +88°C (+190°F).
4
At a dry bulb temperature above +20°C (+68°F).
5 Based upon temperature uniformity specifications.
Relative humidity indication at or near the physical limits may be af
fected by sensor
accuracy and control tolerance. An optional humidity package can be added for
applications requiring humidity levels lower than those covered by the full range
humidity system.

Performance is based upon 60 Hz and laboratory ambient conditions of 23.9°C (75°F), and may vary slightly on 50 Hz power or at other
temperature and humidity levels. Chambers are designed for use under normal laboratory operating conditions. For other applications, please
consult Thermotron.
It is Thermotron’s understanding that the unit will be used in a non-hazardous environment. The unit is not designed for use with or for the
purpose of processing hazardous materials. If hazardous materials are involved, please consult the factory for an alternative quote for a properly
designed unit.
The addition of accessories may impact performance.
