TestEquity 3007C Temperature Chamber 

Digital Event Outputs 

 

 

The Temperature Controller has digital outputs which can be configured as Event Outputs to turn 

remote devices on and off. There are three Event Outputs which are available for customer use.  

The remaining events are used for chamber system functions. 

 

Event 

Function 

 

Event 1 

System Enable (CONDITION). 

(Works when Conditioning Switch is in the Event 1 position.) 

Event 2 

LN2 Boost Enable (LN2). Must be ON to enable the optional LN2 system. 

Event 3 

Available for customer use unless Purge is installed 

Event 4 

Available for customer use 

Event 5 

Available for customer use 

Event 6 

Boost Heat function (indicator on F4 Controller only) 

Event 7 

Boost Cool function (indicator on F4 Controller only) 

Event 8 

Compressor Enable (indicator on F4 Controller only) 

 

For the F4T Controller only:

 Event 1 corresponds to the Power button, Event 2 corresponds to 

the LN2 button. Event 3 corresponds to the Purge button. 

 

Event Relays 

There are three solid state relays available to control AC operated devices, such as power to a 

test sample. The solid state relays are rated for 24 to 240 VAC, 5.0 Amps. 

 

Connecting to the Event Relays 

1.

 

Turn the Main Disconnect switch to the OFF position. 

2.

 

Remove the lower door retaining screw located on the right side. Open the lower door. 

3.

 

The Event Relays are located on the floor of the chamber cabinet, towards the left side. 

4.

 

The event outputs are just switches. You must provide power from an external source.  

5.

 

A 1/2-inch conduit hole is provided on the left side of the lower door to route your wires 

through. Use the appropriate wire/cable management fittings.
