Temperature Uniformity Verification
The temperature uniformity verification uses the temperature data collected when
measuring each of the set points in Table 11. It compares each of the 8
temperature probes against the average of the 8 probes. Temperature uniformity
at each of the 8 measurement points is defined as absolute maximum of Tx –
T_average, where x refers to one of the 8 probes. Each of the 8 probes must
read within ±0.12 °C of T_average.

has the message
LO RH ERR.
Product setting is at a temperature
and/or humidity extreme relative to
the prior setting such that transition

Monitor the Product to see that the
actual humidity is still dropping. If it is
not, there is likely condensation in the
chamber. Turn the Product off and
check for condensation. See

panel. Check that all ports are sealed
properly.

Actual humidity is
much higher than
the set point. For
example, the set
point is 23
°
C,
45 % RH and the
Actual is 23
°
C
with RH staying
close to 80 %.
Water has condensed inside the
chamber.
Shut off power. Remove the door and
inner chamber (mixing insert) and look
for water inside the outer chamber,
mixing insert, door, and UUT. Wipe dry
with a clean paper towel and reinstall
the inner chamber and door.
