5 OPERATION
The following description and instructions provide an overview of basic operation of the
chamber.
5.1 Control and Monitoring
The GEN1000 comes equipped with Conviron’s CMP6060 controller, which includes powerful
programming and reporting capabilities through a full-color, high resolution touchscreen with an
intuitive graphic interface. Users can create custom programs for key parameters such as
temperature, lighting and humidity and receive audible, visual and e-mail notifications of alarms.
Options include connection to your local area network (LAN) and connectivity to a central PC or
mobile device with Conviron Central Management™. CMPLink allows integration with an Argus
Control System.
Refer to the CMP6060 Control System Manual for a complete description and operating
instructions.
5.2 Fluorescent and LED Lighting
The standard lighting systems for the GEN1000 use high efficiency T5 fluorescent lamps
configured to suit the intensity required for each application and kit. Lamp and ballast
combinations have been designed to ensure uniform light distribution. Standard lighting in the
TA and SH kits can be adjusted in levels; for all kits, options for dimming through the controller
are available.
All lighting control outputs are logged to determine how long the lights have been on. Operators
can set a ″warning″ message to pop up at the controller as a reminder.
Refer to the lamp manufacturer’s specifications for more detailed information.
Warning: Optical radiation hazard
The lighting system in this product produces potentially dangerous ultraviolet and
infrared radiation in close proximity.
Exposed body parts should be covered within 8” or 200mm of the lighting. Always
wear protective clothing such as gloves and long sleeve shirts when working within
the chamber.
Always wear protective glasses when working within the chamber. Glasses should
be CSA Z94.3-07 or ANSI Z87.1-2010 compliant, such as with Steele THT416AFG
or equivalent and block 99.9% of UVA/UVB/UVC rays.
Do not look directly at the lights even while wearing protective glasses.
