SolarClimatic Series
Solar Simulation Chambers
Sun and Climate in a Single Unit
SC340/600/1000
340, 600 and 1000 Liter Versions
Profile. In combination with the irradiation unit (metal halide
lamp and outdoor filter), all three models provide a full-function
climate chamber. With a capacity of 340, 600 or 1,000 liters, the
useable volume of the test chamber has been specifically designed
for the examination of material samples and component sections
or smaller components. The test chamber can be easily opened with
one hand. The height of the sample carrier can also be varied to
ensure optimal irradiation of the various samples.

Performance
Quality needs. Many valuable products are able
to secure a long-term utility value due to the high
quality level of materials used in their manufacture.
It is for this reason that, with regard to polymer
components in particular, such strict test criteria
are stipulated for material safety, lightfastness and
colorfastness.
Design. The SolarClimatic Series instruments are
state-of-the-art test units for simulating indoor and
outdoor conditions. Influencing parameters such as
global irradiation, temperature, and humidity can
be individually programmed in user configurable
programs. The test chamber design of the units offers
an economic alternative to large solar simulation
equipment. Spacious test chambers allow
standardized testing of components with large
surface areas such as airbag units, or even tests with
complex structural combinations such as dashboards
with windshields.
Ergonomics. Ease of use is a high priority.
The communications and control units are easily
accessible and transparent in every control and
operational phase.
Depending on the SC model selected, the operator
panel accessible from the front is either swivel-mounted
or integrated in the control module on the side.
Test parameters are entered and modified via an
easy-to-use touch screen. A well thought out and
self-explanatory user guide offers the highest level
of operator comfort.

3400 Liter Version
Profile. Four 'Metal Halide' (SC2000 MH) or two 'Metal Halide Global'
lamps (SC2000 MHG) provide a high radiation output and radiation
distribution throughout the spacious climate test chamber. Outdoor
filters complete the irradiation unit. With its spacious useable chamber
volume of 3,400 liters, this model is suitable for testing medium-sized
components or for testing even large-volume finished products or entire
component series.

LIGHT QUALITY
Differentiation. SC models are equipped with either
MH (Metal Halide) or MHG (Metal Halide Global)
lamps. Since both optical systems are very similar, both
yield equally good results with respect to irradiance
and its spatial distribution. However, the MHG lamp
is recommended for tests requiring an irradiance of
> 1,000 W/m². One important difference lies in the
spectral distribution of the radiation that, at certain
wavelengths, does not exhibit the energy peaks in the
MHG spectrum that are found in the MH spectrum.
These peaks can produce widely differing results in
samples with a corresponding sensitivity. Another advantage of the MHG lamp lies in the ability to vary
output across a specific range as well in the electronic
power regulation that can, for example, compensate
for mains fluctuations. All SC units are suitable for
laboratory testing using simulated sunlight. The
MHG models, with their powerful MHG lamps and
specific spectral adjustment, are the best solution for
the application area of aging tests (e.g., DIN 75220,
IEC 60068-2-5, or MIL STD 810F).
OPTIONS
A wide range of tailor-made accessories is available to further
increase the comfort and functionality of the test units:

• Regulation of the black standard temperature: Improves
reproducibility while simultaneously ensuring the consistency
of the test conditions.
• Black standard temperature sensor.
• SolarTest sensor: 300 nm to 3,000 nm.
• RS 422/485 interface.
• Printer.
