First, locate the area in which your chamber will be installed. Check the area
selected for its serviceability to the machinery compartments, both electrically and
mechanically. In the event your equipment is too large to move through halls and
doorways, consult factory as to what can be detached for the move in.
Place equipment in desired location, reinstall any detached components that had
been detached through arrangements with Weiss Technik for the move in. We
recommend that the chamber and machinery compartment (being either a self-
contained system or component system) be leveled. Leveling helps assure the
systems’ optimum performance promoting good oil return on the refrigeration
system and proper drainage of any accumulated moisture.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
WARNING: To safely install the chamber, you must read the General Safety Instructions.
WARNING: To install or start up the chamber you must read the applicable instructions in this
manual. If you need help, contact the nearest Weiss Technik Field Service Office.
WARNING: Do not perform the start-up procedure until all other installation is complete. Before
starting up the chamber, you must read the operating instructions.
WARNING: Dangerously high voltages are present. Do not turn on the electrical power until you
are instructed to do so in the start -up procedure. Check your Lock-Out / Tag-Out
Procedures.
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power before working near moving parts. Keep all guards
and shields in place. Use your Lock-Out / Tag-Out Procedures.
WARNING: Before service or repair allow chamber to cool to ambient room temperature before
entry.
WARNING: If your chamber has an LN2, or GN2 injection system make sure it is vented
according to the instructions on LN2 Cooling. If the LN2, GN2 is injected directly
into the test space, nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide gas is left in the chamber test area.
This gas must be adequately diluted by the surrounding room air. Using the chamber
in a poorly ventilated area results in a lack of oxygen, which could cause death.
CAUTION: Use the electrical power supply shown on your chamber’s electrical drawing and
serial tag. Air, water, and other supplies must be within the limits shown in the
applicable instructions or drawings.
CAUTION: This equipment is heavy; use the proper equipment to move it. Do not put strain on

On water cooled systems, connect the inlet water line to the line marked condenser
inlet. Connect the drain side of the line to the connection marked condenser outlet.
The water valves are rated at 100 p.s.i. maximum. DO NOT EXCEED THE
PRESSURE. Water connections should be made with a line connection of at least
the same size as the inlet and outlet fittings.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Electrical power for your test chamber is typically supplied in one of two methods.
One method of connecting your test chamber to electrical power is with the use of a
receptacle and plug. Before connecting power, verify current voltage and phase of
your chamber. This information is located on the equipment’s’ specification page
and on the electrical drawing. If you have any questions regarding your chamber
power requirements, please consult the factory. The use of improper power can
void your warranty.
For questions regarding wire sizing, conduit sizing or conduit piping practices,
please consult a licensed contractor in your area or your facilities manager. State,
local and company codes govern the methods and practices used on installation of
electrical hook ups and use your LOTO Procedures.
WARNING: Dangerously high voltages are present. Do not turn on the electrical power until
you are instructed to do so in the start -up procedure.
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power before working near moving parts. Keep all
guards and shields in place.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
An electrical system drawing has been included in this manual. Please refer to the
drawing during the following explanation of the system.
You will note in the upper left hand corner of the drawing, the appropriate voltage
and current requirements of the system. Before applying power to the system,
verify that the appropriate electrical service has been supplied.
There are numbers running vertically along the left side of the print. These are line
numbers that allow you to utilize the information given along the right hand side.
Along the right side of the circuitry, you will find line identifications and numbers.
These numbers will indicate what line(s) a component such as a contactor (or relay)
has contacts located. Multiple line numbers indicate that there are several contacts.
The print shows all of the wires located within the system. The main control wires
have been returned to the main terminal strip within the electrical enclosure for ease
of troubleshooting.
Please note that all high voltage components have a current rating shown on the
drawing. It is generally recommended that these readings be checked during the
start-up procedure. During normal calibration or preventive maintenance checks, it
is recommended that current readings be taken to verify that everything is in good
working condition. Readings should be within +/-10% of the ratings shown on the
drawings.
WARNING: Dangerously high voltages are present. Do not turn on the electrical power until you
are instructed to do so in the start -up procedure.
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power before working near moving parts. Keep all guards

LN2 BOOST
INSTALLING A GN2, LN2, SYSTEM
WARNING: Improper installation of a GN2 (gaseous nitrogen), or LN2 (liquid nitrogen), system
can cause death by suffocation. Make sure the chamber is vented to the following
instructions.
The cooling portion of this Weiss Technik Test Chamber is being enhanced through
direct injection of liquid nitrogen. This is used as a boost for faster pulldown rates.
The control solenoid circuit is enabled via a delay timer. This timer setting should
be great enough to avoid overshooting at control. A repeat cycle timer is also
energized (sometimes called a percentage timer) cycling the control solenoid off

then back on. This repeat cycle timer can be changed to vary the pulldown rates.
An indicator light next to the function switch will indicate when the LN2 control
solenoid is open.
Power will be de-energized to the LN2 boost circuit when the cooling output of the
controller starts pulsing as the chamber nears the setpoint.
WARNING: Avoid exposing yourself to air and equipment that is not at room temperature.
Please check the equipment nomenclature to see if the LN2 boost applies to your
chamber.

LN2 COOLING
INSTALLING A GN2, LN2, SYSTEM
WARNING: Improper installation of a GN2 (gaseous nitrogen), or LN2 (liquid nitrogen), system
can cause death by suffocation. Make sure the chamber is vented to the following
instructions.
1. Connect a vent line from the chamber vent,
located on top of the chamber, to the outside of
the building.
The cooling portion of this Weiss Technik Test Chamber is through direct injection
of liquid nitrogen.
The system utilizes a redundant solenoid as well as a Baumann LN2 control valve.
The redundant solenoid is enabled when the cool switch has been turned on and the
controller is calling for cooling. The redundant solenoid will close after there hasn’t
been a cooling demand for 90 seconds.
The Baumann I/P positioner receives a linear 4-20mA signal from the controller.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
LN2 COOLING
INSTALLING A GN2, LN2, SYSTEM (Continued)
The positioner converts this signal to an air pressure based on the following for-
mulas 4-20mA = 3-15 psig. The air pressure then opens the control valve allowing
LN2 to be injected into the chamber. When the chamber nears the setpoint, the
pressure will be reduced allowing the valve to close, thereby reducing the flow of
LN2. An indicator light next to the function switch will illuminate when there is a
cooling signal to the I/P converter.
WARNING: Avoid exposing yourself to air and equipment that is not room temperature.

Equipment Start-Up/Installation
Prior to starting any refrigeration system, the following checks should be made.
3. Backseat all valves with yellow tags prior to start-up. Your system has
been pumped down for shipment. (If applicable to your chamber.)
Reference yellow sheet on the inside of the electrical box door. Initials
on this sheet will indicate the number of valves front seated.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
CAUTION: To remove compressor, heavy component: Compressor weighs greater than 65 lbs.
To safely remove, you should first slide the compressor towards the rear of the (tool)
chamber before attempting to lift it. This requires a two-person lift.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The refrigeration portion of your Weiss Technik test chamber may be configured
in one of many variations, based on the size of the compressors. Refer to the
enclosed system drawing during the following explanations of system operation.
Weiss Technik recommends using a trained refrigeration technician. Call our Service
Department for help and cost to assist 1-800-368-4768 or visit www.weiss-na.com.
By referring to the electrical drawing, you are able to determine which safety
devices have been installed in your system. These devices will be located directly
to the left of the compressor safety relay (generally marked CR2). Typically, there
are from two to six safety devices, depending on the size of the system.
The high-low pressure switches are intended to monitor the pressures within the
individual refrigeration systems. If the high-low pressure switch(es) are tripped,
they must be reset manually. Do not reset more than twice without consulting the
factory.
Each compressor will have oil pressure monitoring via an oil pressure system,
pressure transducer or other monitoring system. The oil level should be observed
at the oil level indicator on each compressor. The oil levels should be maintained
per compressor manufacturer's recommendation. If improper oil levels are observed,
our Product Support Group should be contacted.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
1. Backseat the suction and discharge service valves on the low side
compressor; valves turned all the way counterclockwise.
2. Connect a set of manifold gauges to the system, suction gauge to suction service
valve and discharge gauge to discharge service valve. Attach the center hose
to the tank of refrigerent. Prior to allowing gas to enter the system, the hoses
should be evacuated by using a vacuum pump or an EPA recognized method of
purging the hoses.
3. After the lines have been either evacuated or purged, close the supply tank
and tighten all of the fittings. Then open both the suction and discharge valves
1/2 turn. The standby pressure of the system will now be observed on the
gauges. Proper charges will be read only if the chamber and cascade condenser
are stabilized at ambient temperature.
If, after observing standby pressure, it is determined that additional gas is required,
follow this procedure:
1. Leak check entire system with either electronic or Halide leak detectors.
2. Repair leaks as necessary.
3. Evacuate system.
4. Attach manifold as previously discussed.
5. Open both manifold valves and open the supply tank to allow gas to flow
into the system. When the gauges record the proper standby, close the valve
on the supply tank. Allow the chamber to stand for 15 minutes to stabilize the
pressure. If required, add additional refrigerent and repeat the above procedure
until the proper standby pressure is maintained.
6. After the proper pressure has been maintained, close both manifold valves
(clockwise) and the supply tank valve.
7. Allow the system to run and verwify operating pressures.
8. If pressures are normal, backseat the compressor service valves and remove
the gauges.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
1. Backseat the suction and discharge service valves on the high side compressor.
Valves turned all the way counterclockwise.
2. Connect a set of manifold gauges to the system, suction gauge to suction service
valve and discharge gauge to discharge service valve. Attach the center hose to
the tank of refrigerent. Prior to allowing gas to enter the system, the hoses should
be evacuated by using a vacuum pump or an EPA recognized method of purging
the hoses.
3. After lines have been either evacuated or purged, close the supply tank and
tighten all fittings. Then open both the suction and discharge valves 1/2 turn.
The pressure of the system will now be observed on the gauges.
5. Open the suction manifold only. DO NOT PUT REFRIGERANT INTO THE
DISCHARGE PORT. Allow liquid refrigerant to flow into the suction side until
the sightglass becomes clear. Do not allow suction pressure to exceed 50 PSI
while adding liquid refrigerant.
6. Continue to monitor the sightglass during the pulldown and if required, add more
.
7. After the bubbles clear, backseat the compressor valves, frontseat the manifold
valves and remove the gauges.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
The jack shaft(s) and blower wheel(s) combination may have been removed from
this environmental test chamber due to shipping height considerations. Please
follow this procedure to insure proper performance and reliability.
1. Mount this jack shaft assembly on the top of the chamber in the orientation
shown on your assembly drawing. The bolts needed have been placed back in their
proper holes on top of the chamber. Remove these before setting the jack shaft
assembly in place, on top of the 1/8” thick neoprene gasket. Bolt down the jack
shaft assembly with the bolts, lock washers and flat washers provided.
2. Now that this is done, determine the shaft that each blower wheel will mount on.
(This will be marked on each wheel.) Remove the inlet cone(s) from the plenum.
Inspect the interior shafts and blower wheel. The shaft also has a washer and a LH
threaded screw tapped into its end; remove these for blower installation.
Note on the blower wheel, the two set screw locations. There are two set screws per
hole; the second one is to lock the first set screw in position. Each set screw must be
prepared with the removable “loctite”.
3. Prepare each set screw with “loctite” and thread into the tapped hole without
protruding into the bore. Insert the keyway into the keyseat and slide the blower
wheel onto the appropriate shaft. The back plate of the blower wheel should be
approximately 1” from the chamber liner.
4. Align the set screw to the drill cup located on keyways and tighten to the shaft.
Then thread the “jam” set screws into each tapped hole and tighten. Replace the
washer and LH bolt in the end of the shaft and tighten. Repeat this paragraph for each
blower wheel.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
5. Re-install the inlet cone for each wheel, make sure the wheel will not rub on the
inlet cone when spinning. Make any appropriate adjustments.
6. Make sure all bolts and set screws are tight. Then re-connect the liquidtite
conduit to the motor(s); wire as shown on the motor nameplate. The final step is to
attach the jack shaft guard to the jack shaft framework.
LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
It is recommended that the bearings be lubricated once every month for a chamber
that is operating 40 hours per week or greater and once every two months for a
chamber that is operating 20-40 hours per week. The recommended lubricant is
Dow Corning BR2-Plus or a grease conforming to NLGI grade #2.
When lubricating the fan shaft bearing, it is best to look at the bearings to prevent
over-greasing. Add grease to each bearing until the first sign of grease is exiting
out from between the bearing and the outer race. This is a sign that the bearing is
properly lubricated. The recommended amount of grease is 1 to 2 strokes (5/8 to
7/8 oz.) with a standard grease gun.
HUMIDITY SYSTEM
Weiss Technik offers two different types of humidity systems. The first is a
Mechanical Humidity System or steam generator type. The second being an
Atomizing Humidity System.
CAUTION:
Humidity chambers need purified water to create humidity. As the water is heated to create
vapor for humidity, it leaves any impurities behind. Supplying straight tap water will leave
deposits on the humidity heater, which requires more cleaning, produces less efficient
heating, and shortens the heater’s life.
On the other end of the spectrum is water that is too pure. Water which is too pure will try
to refresh itself with missing minerals. Over time, too-pure water will etch holes into the
stainless steel material on the chamber. A hole in a chamber will allow moisture to fill up
the insulation space.
Weiss Technik recommends having your supply water (tap water) evaluated by
a reputable source to identify impurities in your water supply. One such source would be
Thermo Scientific (Barnstead). This is usually a free service.
TERMINOLOGY:
What is deionization?
Deionization (or demineralization) simply means the removal of ions. Ions are electrically-
charged atoms or molecules found in water which have either a net negative or positive
charge. For many applications using water as a rinse or ingredient, these ions are considered
impurities and must be removed from the water.
ACIDITY:
pH Value – measured on a scale of 0 to 14
-0 = very acid
-7 = neutral
-14 = very alkaline
TURBIDITY:
Suspension of fine, non-dissolving particles in water; sometimes indicated by cloudy or
colored water and usually measured in ppm (parts per million).
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
CAUTION Continued:
HARDNESS/ION CONTENT:
Many compounds, mainly calcium and magnesium but including sodium, potassium,
chloride, nitrates, iron, copper, etc., break down and dissolve in water.
Measured by resistivity (Ω-cm); conductivity (µmho/cm), or complete water analysis
(ppm each contaminant).
CAUTION Continued:
After the pre-filter, use a D0832 cartridge (contains carbon and mixed-bed resin) to remove
the chlorine, chloramine and chloride from the water. After the pre-filter, this is the first
filtration cartridge in the holder.
The second cartridge, D0809 (removes carbonates), completes the filtration process to
condition the water for the chamber. Cartridge D0832 combined with the D0809 will
process a total of 2350 liters to the above-listed water requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is also recommended the chamber be cleaned between tests using a 50/50 solution mix of
distilled water and white vinegar to neutralize and clean contaminants. This will neutralize
and clean contaminates between tests without adding additional chemicals.
Adding a compressed air purge system to add additional oxygen to the system is
recommended in areas where chloramine is added to the supply water.
Please be aware this checkout procedure may cause damage to heater and or cause
replacement.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
On a humidity system, water is required for the steam generator. Also, systems
not utilizing a solid state humidity sensor may use a wick tank to measure wet
bulb temperature for relative humidity measurements. If a wick tank is included,
periodic replacement of the wet sock is required. It is recommended that the wet
sock is replaced once a week or prior to a test that has a duration of more than
two weeks. Refer to: Humidity System Caution Section. Connect humidity inlet
water to the connection provided marked humidity water inlet. Water levels in
the wick tank and the steam generator are controlled automatically by individual
float mechanisms.

Equipment Start-Up/Installation
START UP CHECKLIST
Example: 208 volt is not the same as 230 volt nor are they interchangeable.
Use of the incorrect voltage (208) will void your warranty.
• Chamber has been leveled. Standard floors with slight (1/4” or less) variations
are acceptable.
• Humidity water and humidity drain connected and water supply turned on. Use
an OSHA approved ladder such as supplied by McMaster-Carr P/N 8188T88
(Ladder 48” with handrails) that meets OSHA and ANSI A14.7 standards or
equivalent.
STARTING UP A CHAMBER
WARNING: You must operate the chamber to perform this procedure. Do not attempt to
operate the chamber unless you have read the instructions.
WARNING: Do not start up the chamber until all the other installation procedures are
complete. Make sure the chamber is completely assembled according to your
engineering drawings.
Equipment Start-Up/Installation
START UP PROCEDURE
Before proceeding with this section, verify that all steps on the Start-up Checklist
have been completed.
3.) Verify incoming voltage and control circuit voltage (110 volt) between X1 and
X2.
5.) The refrigeration system has been pumped down for shipment. Backseat all
valves with yellow tags. (If applicable to your chamber.)
6.) Familiarize yourself with the controller which should be powered up at this
time.
8.) This will enable the circulator contactor and the circulator will run.
10.) The setpoint value in the controller will enable the heating and cooling as
required.
WARNING: You must operate the chamber to perform this procedure. Do not attempt to
operate the chamber unless you have read the instructions.
WARNING: Do not start up the chamber until all the other installation procedures are
complete. Make sure the chamber is completely assembled according to your
engineering drawings.
System Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING: To safely operate the chamber, you must read the General Safety Instructions and all
the instructions in this manual.
WARNING: Avoid exposing yourself to air and equipment that is not near room temperature.
Port gloves are not designed to insulate your hands.
WARNING: Using gloves left in a chamber when the temperature is lower than 0 °C (32 (F) or
higher than 37.8 °C (100 °F) could cause frostbite or burn your hands.
WARNING: Use your chamber only for testing the products it was designed to test. Do not put
combustible or explosive materials in the chamber.
WARNING: Keep the chamber door closed while the chamber is operating.
WARNING: Breathing gas from the GN2 (gaseous nitrogen), LN2 (liquid nitrogen) system can
cause death from suffocation. Dilute the air before entering the chamber.
CAUTION: To protect from temperatures that are too high or too low, you must use a protection
device. Product protection is your responsibility.
Before proceeding with this section, be sure that the Start-up Checklist and the
Start-up Procedure have been completed. The Start-up Checklist and Start-up
Procedure are completed initially when the chamber is installed and need not be
repeated.
2. Turn the circulator switch to the “on” position. This not only
enables the circulator motor, but also provides control circuitry
power to the heat and cooling switches. If the circulator does not
run, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
3. Turn the heat switch and cool switch to the “on” positions.
This will enable the controller to output accordingly with the set
point entered. For operating the chamber hot or cold, both switches
should be in the on position to achieve the desired setpoint. If the
circulator is turned on and the heat and cool switches are off, the
chamber temperature will rise above the ambient due to the fan
rotation working on the air. The friction of the fan blade on the air
will create the heat that is displayed on your controller.
Every chamber is designed with specific limitations for operating the humidity
system. Please refer to the chamber specifications serial tag for maximum dry bulb
temperature and minimum dewpoint temperature.

Safety Data Sheet
Specific hazards : Cylinders are equipped with pressure and temperature relief devices, but may
still rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may occur. Contact of
welding or soldering torch flame with high concentrations of refrigerant can
result in visible changes in the size and colour of the torch flame. This flame
effect will only occur in concentrations of product well above the
recommended exposure limit. Therefore stop all work and ventilate to
disperse refrigerant vapors from the work area before using any open flames.
This substance is not flammable in air at temperatures up to 100 deg. C (212
deg. F) at atmospheric pressure. However, mixtures of this substance with
high concentrations of air at elevated pressure and/or temperature can
become combustible in the presence of an ignition source. This substance
can also become combustible in an oxygen enriched environment (oxygen
concentrations greater than that in air). Whether a mixture containing this
substance and air, or this substance in an oxygen enriched atmosphere
become combustible depends on the inter-relationship of 1) the temperature
2) the pressure, and 3) the proportion of oxygen in the mixture. In general,
this substance should not be allowed to exist with air above atmospheric
pressure or at high temperatures; or in an oxygen enriched environment. For
example this substance should NOT be mixed with air under pressure for leak
testing or other purposes. Experimental data have also been reported which
indicate combustibility of this substance in the presence of certain
concentrations of chlorine.
Special protective equipment : In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal
for firefighters protective equipment. Wear neoprene gloves during cleaning up work after a
fire.
Further information : Use water spray or fog to protect the fire fighters and to cool container. Self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if containers rupture and
contents are released under fire conditions.
Water runoff should be contained and neutralized prior to release.
Cool containers/tanks with water spray.
Safeguards (Personnel) : Ventilate area, especially low or enclosed places where heavy vapours might
collect.

Safety Data Sheet
Accidental Release Measures : Avoid open flames and high temperatures. Self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) is required if a large release occurs.
Handling (Physical Aspects) : The product should not be mixed with air for leak testing or used with air for
any other purpose above atmospheric pressure. Contact with chlorine or
other strong oxidizing agents should also be avoided.
Storage : Valve protection caps and valve outlet threaded plugs must remain in place
unless container is secured with valve outlet piped to use point. Do not drag,
slide or roll cylinders. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Use a
pressure reducing regulator when connecting cylinder to lower pressure
(<3000 psig) piping or systems. Never attempt to lift cylinder by its cap. Use a
check valve or trap in the discharge line to prevent hazardous back flow into
the cylinder. Cylinders should be stored upright and firmly secured to
prevent falling or being knocked over.
Separate full containers from empty containers. Keep at temperature not
exceeding 52°C. Do not store near combustible materials. Avoid area where
salt or other corrosive materials are present.

Data sheet
Pertinent information:
The output from thr humidity sensor is 4-20ma. The Partlow has a 250 ohm resistor in parallel with this
signal, so the input to the Partlow is converted to 1-5 vdc. That is the reason for the "31" value at PEN 2
