ISO 11341:2022-Paints and varnishes-Artificial weathering and exposure to artificial radiation-Xenon-arc
Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.
Features
1. Safety devices protect against over-temperature and over-humidity.
2. Precise temperature and humidity control with wide programmable ranges.
3. Clear display shows set and actual values and test time.
4. Controller supports ramps, dwells and stored test profiles.
5. Ports and cable glands allow sensors and powered specimens.
FAQ
What are the main applications of the Solar Simulator?
The Solar Simulator is used to reproduce temperature, humidity or other environmental conditions for testing product reliability and material behaviour. It supports electronics, automotive, aerospace, polymer, packaging and quality-control laboratories.
Which standards and regulations apply to the Solar Simulator?
The chamber is designed with reference to applicable IEC, ISO, ASTM and GB/T environmental-testing standards and IEC 61010 electrical safety. Programs and tolerances must follow the relevant standard. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.
What does the warranty cover?
The system is covered for 12 months after shipment, including the main mechanism and electrical controls. Replaceable consumables and routine service items are not part of the warranty. Faults caused by improper installation outside the manual or unauthorised modification are not covered.
How easy is the Solar Simulator to use?
The controls are designed for regular laboratory use, so most users become confident after a brief introduction. The manual walks through each step, and common settings can be saved for repeat work. Online or on-site training is available if the site requires it.
What is the typical lead time for order delivery?
Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Is calibration included?
The unit is calibrated and tested before delivery. For ongoing accuracy, verify it against traceable reference standards every 6 to 12 months, or according to the laboratory quality schedule. We can arrange calibration service and certificates where required.
Are the consumables universal or proprietary?
Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.
Can it be adapted to our requirements?
Customisation is supported for many installations, including tailored parameters, connections and accessories. Our team reviews the requirement and confirms feasibility and lead time in advance. We avoid committing to options that cannot be delivered reliably.
Do you provide on-site installation?
Standard installation is straightforward and supported by the manual and start-up documentation. Our technical team can guide staff remotely through checks and validation. On-site commissioning is available as a quoted service.
What maintenance and safety points matter?
Do not place wet, corrosive or explosive loads, exceed weight or temperature limits or block airflow. Use conditioned specimens and proper fixturing. Follow laboratory safety rules.
