Q-Sun B02 Lightfastness Tester Overview

Spectrum. Together, the long li fe xenon lamps and special filter lanternproduce the spectrum required for textile testing.

Solar EyeIrradiance Control. Precise monitoring and control ofirradiance ensures maximum repeatability, reproducibility and ease of use.

Calibration is quick and easy wi th the patented AutoCal system.

Humidity Control. The electronic humidity sensor provides precise controlof relative humidity.

Temperature Control. Both Chamber Air Temperature and Black Stan-dard Temperature are simultaneously controlled to close tolerances.

Capacity. Specimen capacity is significantly larger than comparable testers.

Exterior Dimensions.The Q-Sun B02 is the perfect size for textile labs.Height 166cm (65.5"); Width 91 cm (36"); Depth 62cm (24.5").

Rotating Rack.The new Q-Sun B02 tester was designed with a rotating rack to meetthe requirements of ISO 105 B02.

Te Q-Suns Solar Eye Irradiance Control

system allows maximum repeatability andreproducibility o test results. Te SolarEye is a patented, precision light controlsystem that automatically monitors andmaintains the programmed light intensi-ty. Irradiance is controlled at either UV(300-400 nm) or 420 nm.

Te patented AutoCal

system uses a special cali-bration radiometer thatmeasures the light intensityo the lamp and electroni-cally transers the data tothe controller. Te SolarEye sets a new standard incalibration. It takes onlyseconds and there is little

chance or operator error.

Temperature and Humidity

Advantages

Precise Control of Specimen Temperature Choice of Black Standard or Black Panel Temperature Sensors Simultaneous Control of Black Panel & Chamber Air Temperature Precise Control of Relative Humidity

emperature is critical because it in-

fluences the rate o degradation. Inthe Q-Sun, temperature is preciselymaintained by a system that simulta-neously controls both Black Standardemperature and Chamber Air em-perature.

Te relative humidity in the chambergoverns the moisture content o the

surace o the test specimen during ex-posure. Te Q-Suns electronic humiditysensor provides precise control o rela-tive humidity.

Te Q-Sun Model B02 sets the standard

with significantly higher specimen capac-ity than competitive testers. Q-Sun speci-men holders are very easy to install andremove. ISO and AACC textile masksare available.

Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication

Q-Labs design philosophy is simple. We believe that, just because a product istechnically sophisticated, it doesnt have to be hard to understand or difcult to use.

We put our engineering effort into keeping things simple. Our goal is to provide

affordable test equipment that is technically accurate, yet easy to understand, easy to

operate and easy to maintain. It is that simple.
