SUNTEST® CPS/CPS+

This economical Xenon test instrument is the smallest of the SUNTEST® Family with 560 cm2 of exposure area. It is Product Image (Main)equipped with a flat specimen tray and is perfect for companies on a limited budget or for companies that occasionally have the need to test.

The CPS+ uses the Atlas microprocessor control package to deliver a controlled and reproducible test. The manual CPS model is an economical alternative offering basic manual control and the lowest priced xenon exposure system.

Common applications include:

  • CD's and DVD's
  • Cosmetics
  • Packaging
  • Pharmaceuticals and Bio-Pharmaceuticals
  • Printing Inks
  • Textiles and Geotextiles
  • Agrochemicals
  • Building Sealants
  • Dental Materials
  • Powder Coatings
  • Two models: manual CPS and fully automated CPS+
  • CPS+ model offers full micro-processor control and simple test programming
  • Light source: 1100 watt air cooled xenon arc lamp
  • Total exposure area: 560 cm2 (86 in2)
  • Temperature range: BST 35 ºC to 100 ºC
  • Controlled irradiance
  • Measurement and display of chamber temperature
  • Unique chamber design for better distribution of ultraviolet radiation
  • Low cost operation
  • Filter combinations
