2 CHAMBER FEATURES
2.1 Configurations
The base GEN1000 chamber can be fitted with any of the following specially configured kits and
each kit is also available with an LED lighting option:
An SH kit is either a two-tier or an SH-XTIER three-tier configuration using horizontal
airflow over multiple shelves optimizing the growth area for shorter plants, like
Arabidopsis. Ideal for research in propagation, genetics, physiology, and other moderate
light experiments.
The TA kit is a single-tier configuration providing upward airflow, maximum growth height
and light intensity for taller plants such as cereal crops, horticultural plants, and
silviculture.
The TC kit is a four-tier configuration using low light to maximize space. It also provides
upward airflow minimizing condensation in petri dishes and jars used in propagation and
genetics experiments.
The IN kit is a four-tier configuration using horizontal airflow and low light levels
optimizing the incubation of plantlets and insects.
2.2 Control System
The control system provides advanced programming capabilities, allowing ramping or stepping
of environmental conditions to match research requirements. User programmable ″set and
forget″alarms track the chamber operation relative to user-defined setpoints. Visual and audible
notifications provide a further level of protection. For remote monitoring and control, the
chamber comes ready to communicate with Conviron’s Central Management™ or CMP-Link.
Refer to the included Conviron CMP6060 Operator’s Manual for complete instructions.
2.3 Air Intake and Exhaust
The chamber includes manually adjustable fresh air intake and exhaust ports to allow for
chamber air exchanges. Exhaust air flows to ambient with no additional connection required.
2.4 Instrumentation Ports
One 2″(50mm) access port with a light-tight cap is provided on the right side of the chamber.
The port allows small instruments and monitor leads to be inserted into the chamber without
opening the front door, and without significantly changing the environment within the chamber.
2.5 Network Connectivity

900 such as scheduling and programming, table views for data, comprehensive graphing, real-
time status (including alarms, sensors and IOs), retrieval and exporting of chamber data, time
synchronization and a remote interface are available for the chamber.
2.9 Central Alarm Contact
The Central Alarm Contact (CAC) (Figure 3-49) consists of a normally closed dry contact
energized by a control system alarm output that is connected to a Building Management System
(BMS) or an optional auto dialer. When an alarm condition occurs, that contact opens,
interrupting the circuit from the BMS (or other system) to indicate an alarm. The CAC is only
triggered by shut-down alarms.
The connection point to the BMS is a receptacle on the back panel of the chamber. This
receptacle is connected to a relay that operates when a chamber alarms. The wire connections
of the receptacle must be completed according to the electrical drawings. The electrical load
must be within the rating of the technical specifications. The receptacle is mated with the plug
and then screwed tightly together.

Install the chamber in a dry, well-ventilated area with circulating air and maintain the operating
environment between a minimum temperature of 59°F (15°C) and a maximum temperature of
95°F (35°C).
The GEN1000 chambers dissipate up to 2600W to ambient with the dehumidification option,
and up to 2100W without dehumidification.
Locate the chamber on a relatively level floor so that adjustments can be made with the levelers
to ensure the chamber is level.
3.1.1 Chamber Clearance
At least 1 ft. (300mm) must be left clear behind the back wall of the chamber.
At least 1 ft. (300mm) must be left clear above the chamber.
At least 4″(102mm) must be left clear on each side of the chamber in order to provide
access to the instrumentation, fresh air, and exhaust ports.
3.1.2 Power Supply
Refer to Section 8 Technical Specifications on page 55 for details of the power configuration.
This unit will tolerate ±10% voltage fluctuation from the rated voltage on the serial plate. Use a
voltage stabilizer if the fluctuation is greater than ±10%.
It is important to ensure that the room in which the chamber is placed adheres to
these environmental conditions.
Failure to install overcurrent protection if fluctuation greater than 10% is detected can
result in serious damage to the compressor and electronic components, and will void
the warranty.
