2.1
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ with lighting unit
The Datacolor CONDITIONER™ system with lighting unit is equipped with 2 illumination cassettes, each
with 2 illumination tubes. The tubes, with UVA portion, present a spectrum close to the spectrum of
artificial sunlight D65 ISO 10977.
The unit can be operated in a temperature range from 10 °C up to 50 °C and a humidity range of
10 % RH to 70 % RH.
Standard temperature and humidity settings for sample conditioning are typically 21 °C and 65 % RH.
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ is equipped with two safety devices to protect the unit, its environment and
the samples inside from forbidden temperature excesses:
•
Electric safety controller
The sample conditioning cabinet is equipped with an electric over temperature safety device class 3.1
acc. to DIN 12880. It is called “safety controller”. It serves to protect the material being tested against
extensive high temperatures. The safety controller is electrically independent from the main
temperature controller and takes over control when a selectable set point is reached.
•
Temperature
limiter
The sample conditioning cabinet is equipped with a temperature limiter, class 1 acc. to DIN 12880. It
serves to protect the unit and prevents danger caused by considerable defects. If a temperature of
about 66°C is reached, the temperature limiter switches off the unit permanently.
2.2 Datacolor
CONDITIONER™ without lighting unit
The Datacolor CONDITIONER™ system without lighting unit can be operated in a temperature range
from +10 °C up to 90 °C and a humidity range of 0 % RH to 90 % RH if the humidity control is switched
on. For possible combinations of temperature and humidity values without condensation see operating
range, chap. 9.2
Standard temperature and humidity settings for sample conditioning are typically 21 °C and 65 % RH.

•
Temperature
fuse
The sample conditioning cabinet is equipped with a temperature fuse, class 1 acc. to DIN 12880. It
serves to protect the unit and prevents danger caused by considerable defects. If a temperature of
about 110 °C in the inner chamber is reached, the temperature fuse switches off the unit permanently.
