Safety Instructions
1.4 General safety instructions
Safety instruments:
The Xenotest 220/220+ is equipped with safety switches and temperature sensors which monitor the individual functions.
• If the chamber door is opened during operation, all functions are turned off
• A temperature switch monitors the build up of heat near the test chamber heater. All the functions are turned off if
the temperature exceeds 85 °C
• Safety temperature switches exist for monitoring the lamp cooling
• A oat switch turns off all the functions as soon as the height of the water reservoir drops below a minimum lling
level
• If the xenon lamp is not ignited after four attempts, the ignition process is aborted
After turning off due to an error, an interrupted test continues at the place where it was aborted.
Incoming power connection:
• The Xenotest 220/220+ is connected to an incoming voltage of 230 V ± 10%, 50/60 Hz
• The incoming power connection is made by a PE plug: (1P/N/PE) or (2P/PE) CEE (32A, 3 pole, 6h)
Disposal:
OBSERVE THE REGULATIONS FOR DISPOSAL!
The manufacturer’s obligations to take back the equipment in accordance with the respective
national version of the EC Directive 2012/19/EU (updated version) WEEE (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) apply as of March 24, 2006.
RohS conformity:
DIRECTIVE 2011/65/EU for restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment. This directive does not apply for equipment which was designed exclusively for research and
development purposes and is only provided at an intra-company level. Therefore, the Xenotest 220/220+
instrument does not come under the validity of the above mentioned directive.
Disposal of the packing:
Please dispose of the packing materials according to the valid disposal regulations.
A list of used packing materials can be found in chapter 2, sect. 2.1 “Packing.”

Requirements for the installation site
3.1 Room climate
Climatic requirements for the installation room:
In continuous operation the Xenotest 220/220+ can
cause a constant change in the room climate due to the
emission of warm air. Therefore, the instrument should
only be installed in an adequately cooled, dust-free
operating rooms.
• Room temperatures of 18 °C to 25 °C
• Relative humidity of 50% (± 10%)
3.2 Room ventilation
The installation room must be equipped with a ventilation
system that can accommodate a fresh air volume ow of
at least 300 m³/h.
• The fresh air must be ltered through an air lter of
lter class EU 4
• The installation room must be kept dust-free
3.3 Instrument exhaust air system
It is highly recommended that the lamp cooling of the
Xenotest 220/220+ be connected to an exhaust air system.
The exhaust air of the lamp cooling can be fed directly
outdoors. The exhaust air system must satisfy the following conditions:
• The exhaust air channel must be made of exible,
heat-resistant material because the temperature of
the exhaust air can rise to up to 120 °C
• The exhaust air channel may be a maximum of 3 m
long
• The diameter of the exhaust air channel must be at
least 100 mm. The connection nozzle on the Xenotest
220/220+ has a diameter of 100 mm
• The exhaust air channel may have a maximum of two
90° bends
• If greater lengths than 3 m or more than two 90° bends
are necessary for laying the exhaust air channel, a
blower must be installed by the customer
• The exhaust air system must work in such a way that
no air can be blown back into the instrument by back
pressure (see also Atlas price list)
The exhaust air of the test chamber can be fed into the
operating room and recirculated by the room ventilation.
NOTE – protective system failure
The instrument exhaust air system can overheat if the
maximum length of the exhaust air channel and the maxi-
mum permissible number of two 90° bends is not observed.
This results in the protective mechanisms of the Xenotest
220/220+ interrupting the power supply to the instrument.
- 13 -
Operating Manual Xenotest® 220/220+
3.4 Water supply
The Xenotest 220/220+ requires puried water for hu-
midifying the test chamber. Puried water circulates in a
closed pipe system which is fed from the internal 60-liter
water tank. The water tank can either be relled manually
or connected to a water treatment system.
• Connection: G 3/8 “ (inch)
The puried water must have the following quality
characteristics:
• Conductance: < 5 µS/cm
• pH value: 6 – 8
• Max. silicate content: 0.2 ppm
NOTE – water quality:
Poor water quality not only leads to poor test results but
also affects the function and life of the components in
the instrument.

Requirements for the installation site
3.5 Transport
NOTE – Transport
The instrument may only be transported by experienced
service personnel using suitable equipment. The instrument
may not be lifted by the front or side doors for transport.
NOTE – lifting points (g. 1)
The instrument may only be lifted at the lifting points
indicated in g. 1.

Requirements for the installation site
3.6 Space requirements
Position the instrument on a sufficiently stable, non-
ammable oor and align horizontally.
Weight of the instrument:
• Xenotest 220/220+ approx. 280 kg
NOTE – load at the installation site
If several instruments are to be installed in a room, ensure
the static load-bearing capacity of the oor.
An access area of at least 1 m is needed around the
machine to allow for operation, maintenance and repair
work, see g. 2.
• Instrument dimensions:
90 cm × 78 cm × 180 cm (W × D × H)
CAUTION – overheating of the instrument!
The air exchange of the instrument takes place via air
inlet and outlet openings on the top of the instrument
and the side air vents. If the air exchange is blocked,
tests will be interrupted because the safety devices
will shut the instrument off. Also, repeatedly turning
the instrument on/off, will shorten the life of instrument
components. Make sure that the ventilation openings
are always clear!
• The room of installation must have a minimum height
of 2.5 m
• Comply with the minimum distances at the side and
back of the instrument. The safety and maintenance
distances can be found in g. 2

Functional description
5.1.1 Xenotest 220 program control panel
Fig. 8:
The Xenotest 220 is turned on with the main switch
2
and then operated by the keypad on the program control
panel 1. The microprocessor-supported program control enables both the loading of pre-programmed tests
and the design and initialization of user-specic tests.
The parameter values required for the test are entered
with the keyboard and selected with the arrow keys. The
inputs and the resulting status messages are shown on
the line display . The test documentation can be output in
data form via the communication interface
3
. Detailed
specications for the program control and programming
of test runs are described in the instrument’s software
documentation manual.
5.1.2 Xenotest 220+ program control panel
Fig. 9:
The Xenotest 220+ is turned on at the main switch
3
and
then operated by the touch-screen on the program control
panel 2. The microprocessor-supported program control
enables both the loading of already pre-programmed test
runs and the design and initialization of user-specic tests.
The parameter values necessary for the test are entered
with the numeric block on the keyboard and initialized by
the various function keys. The inputs and the resulting
status messages are shown on the display . The test documentation can be output in data form via the communication interface
1
. Detailed specications for the program
control and programming of test runs are described in the
instrument’s software documentation manual.
