Control System

MyKratos™ control software makes it possible to manage, monitor and assist the chamber anywhere, at any time, in multiple ways via the on-board panel and desktop/mobile devices (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, mobile network). The chamber wireless (Wi-Fi) connection permits operation using tablets and smartphones (iOS or Android compatible).

The operator interface can also be remotely accessed through a chamber connection to the customer’s LAN or via mobile network (on activation of a SIM card data). It includes the MyAngel24™ interactive assistance system.

Key Features

• Solar lamp
  The lamp structure is made of anodized aluminum and the assembly components are made of stainless steel.
  The percentage of the lamp intensity can be adjusted using the touchscreen control panel. It takes approximately 3 minutes from the moment the lamp is turned on for it to reach the requested output.

• Internal chamber plug
  The internal chamber plug is easy to remove and/or install and makes it possible to use the chamber in its standard configuration without a lamp.

• Porthole cover panel
  An easy to remove and/or install inspection porthole cover panel is provided for installation in the chamber door.

• Electrical power system (EPS)
  This unit provides a permanent regulation of the power output. The irradiance selected will therefore be stabilized by means of voltage and current parameters. This device is positioned on top of the chamber.

• Maintenance
  The light bulb is easy to change thanks to the handy clamps provided.

• Control and management system and interfaces
  Controlled by PLC and Advanced HMI

• Remote access
  There is a wide range of possibilities thanks to the built-in MyKratos™ and MyAngel24™; multichamber control also available upon request.

• Electromagnetic closing system
  Ensures the security of environmental tests.

• Air treatment system
  Ensures a precise control of the climatic parameters inside the chamber with minimal thermal inertia; an axial fan allows rapid temperature variations of both air and specimen.

• Humidification system (only climatic version)
  The humidifier with a self-contained heater and dedicated controlling S/W offers two great advantages:
  • it does not require distilled or demineralised water to operate properly
  • it uses ‘dry’ vapour in order to avoid condensation on the specimens and to reproduce real environmental conditions

Basic Configuration

• MyKratos™ and MyAngel24™: top of  the line HMI for remote control
• 10” touch screen on-board display
• Inspection window: multiple-crystal, with double heated transparent film, 550 h X 450 mm size 
• Ecological refrigerant gas in line with EU Regulation 517/2014
• Internal lighting
• Self feeding system (tap water through chamber embedded softener)
• Wheels and feet
• Electromagnetic closing system
• Silicone portholes: 80 mm (left side) and 150 mm diameter (right side) fitted with silicone cap. They allow internal-external electrical, mechanical or hydraulic connections.
• Digital min./max. thermostat: with independent probe
• No. 1 internal grid shelf
• Auxiliary contacts (specimens, alarms)

Available Options

• Additional portholes: 80 and 150 mm
• Water condenser: for the chambers which are normally equipped with air condenser
• UV lamp: for ageing tests on painted surfaces, plastic materials, rubber, etc.
• Handling port hole: Ø125 mm, positioned on the door near the inspection window. It allows handling specimens inside the chamber (available for models from 500 litres up)
• Internal shelves: AISI 304 stainless steel, adjustable in height, grid shelves to be added to the one supplied
• Reinforced floor: max 500 kg distributed load
• Notch 50x70mm
• Set of no. 4 analogic inputs 0÷10V for user’s data acquisition (no. 1 set max)
• Set of no. 4 PT100 inputs (no. 1 set max)
• Set of no. 4 PT100
• Set of no. 8 auxiliary contacts (no. 1 set max)
• No break power unit for PLC
• Compressed air dehumidification kit
• Capacitive probe: RH Controlling and monitoring (activated by control system)
• Temperature and Humidity (for climatic chambers) analogic retransmission
• Temperature extension to +200° C
• Air fan motor speed adjustment
• Specimen switching off in case of chamber alarm
• Air flow booster
• PYRANOMETER: The CM4 pyranometer with amplifier allows to read the light intensity inside the chamber. This system makes it possible to control the light intensity of the lamp using the touchscreen panel, with feedback from the reading sensor.
• TEMPERATURE PROBE: PT100 probe for black body DIN Class B 4 wires
• MyKratos™ Multichamber: software, installed on a PC, for monitoring and control multiple chambers (to be supplied upon request)
