Atlas Suntest CPS+ Weathering Tester with Suncool CPS II Cooling System for Accelerated Solar Simulation

The Atlas Suntest CPS+ Weathering Tester equipped with the Suncool CPS II Cooling System provides precise accelerated simulation of solar radiation based on the CIE85 reference sun standard. Utilizing a 28 x 20 cm (560 cm²) exposure area and a 1500 W air-cooled xenon lamp, it faithfully replicates sunlight, enabling accelerated testing of material property changes such as fading, yellowing, and embrittlement caused by exposure to sunlight, temperature, and moisture.

Key technical features include:

• Microprocessor control with programming keyboard and black-and-white display for user-friendly operation.
• Adjustable irradiation control spanning 300–400 nm or 300–800 nm wavelengths to simulate various solar exposure conditions.
• Instantaneous set and monitoring of Black Standard Temperature (BST) and ambient air temperature (CHT).
• Capability to simulate daylight filtered through window glass or other filters, enhancing realism in indoor exposure scenarios.
• Two pre-programmed test methods plus storage for six customizable user-defined tests for flexible experimental design.
• Optional Suncool CPS II chiller system ensures accurate testing at low temperatures, critical for temperature-sensitive samples like cosmetics.

Technical Specifications:

• Voltage: 220–240 V
• Current: 14.5 A / 3.8 A
• Outer Dimensions Suntest: 78 x 35 x 35 cm
• Outer Dimensions Suncool: 75 x 30 x 47 mm
• Outer Dimensions Filter/Fan: 33 x 35 x 35 mm
