PREFACE
Welcome to the Operator’s Manual for Conviron’s CMP6050 Control System. This Manual
has been developed to assist with the setup and daily operation of the CMP6050. The
Manual is provided to all clients who have purchased a chamber(s) containing the new
CMP6050 control system.
The Manual has been designed to provide sufcient detail for the majority of chamber
congurations, including a structured format that provides step-by-step instructions. Clients will
nd sufcient detail for a typical installation including gures, diagrams, and graphics to operate
the chamber without issue. However, given that many installations are specic to each facility
and that facilities may have unique requirements, additional information or assistance from
Conviron may be required. In such cases, contact information is provided on the following page.
The CMP6050 has a security feature to manage Users' level of access. This feature requires
all Users to be set-up with the appropriate access as determined by the facility manager/
security administrator (up to 3 User ID passwords can be assigned). Once this is completed
(and provided Security is turned on), Users are required to login. This is to ensure that Program
modications are made by authorized personnel only. The Administrator can override all Users
and can access all programming functionality with the exception of features set at the factory.
The CMP6050 offers three password-protected security levels:
• Users (Access Level 1)
• Administrators (Access Level 2)
• Factory (Access Level 3)
Security Access levels associated with various features are identied throughout this manual and
listed in Section 7.0. The CMP6050 is shipped with security features turned Off. This enables
any User to start the chamber and become familiar with the chamber controls without having
to enter a password.
It is recommend that a security Administrator be assigned to administer User
login authority and that security features be added as soon as possible.
This equipment is only to be used by authorized personnel – that is, personnel who have been
trained on the proper use of the equipment and who have read this manual.
The manual incorporates CMP6050 software version 4.06.

1.0 PRECAUTIONS
The following symbols are used throughout this manual to draw your attention to important warnings,
guidelines and product information. Please take note of their respective meanings.
Hazard Warning Important Information
Dangerous Electrical Current Please Note
Hot Surface Grounding Mark
Slippery Surface Caution, Moving Parts
Please note the following Hazard warnings before operating this equipment:
• This equipment is only to be operated and maintained by authorized personnel - that is,
personnel who have been trained on the proper operation and/or maintenance of the
equipment and who have read this manual.
• If in doubt about safe operation and/or maintenance of the equipment, contact the
responsible party immediately.
• Prior to operating, users should conduct a visual inspection of the equipment and surrounding
area by walking around the unit and checking both inside and outside to ensure no debris or
obstacles are present that could pose a safety hazard. If operators see a potential hazard (e.g.
water accumulating on the oor which could be slippery, an obstruction that would prevent
the door from opening/closing properly) they should take appropriate steps such as alerting
service personnel.
• Before starting, the operator should ensure that all electrical boxes are in the closed
position and that no one is present in the chamber – either servicing or working
within/on the unit.
• Ensure that no one is using or could activate the room remotely during operation or
maintenance activities.
• Avoid water coming in contact with the electrical components, as it presents a risk of
water damage to both high and low voltage electrical components. If you have any
doubt of safe watering practices, contact Conviron.
• When a Schedule is not running, Alarms are disabled! No one other than a single,
designated on-site service technician should be operating the chamber. Altering
output parameters to troubleshoot a chamber, while others are handling mechanical or
electrical systems within the chamber, COULD BE HAZARDOUS AND MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY. As such, manipulation of output parameters must be performed
with either a qualied service technician present or via phone support with Conviron’s
Technical Services group.

CHAPTER 1 | PRECAUTIONS
• Qualied trades-people such as electricians, plumbers, refrigeration mechanics, etc.
should perform all work as required by local codes and regulations.
• Central Management™ (CM) is an optional feature. If CM is being used it becomes
inextricably linked to the use of the Controller and therefore, both the Central
Management manual and the Controller Operators Manual must be read and
understood in their entirety prior to operation.
• Working with high voltage will be required when installing this equipment. Do NOT
attempt this work unless you have the appropriate knowledge and experience. Take
appropriate safety precautions and ensure that the building power supply to the
chamber is off prior to installation.
• The main terminal in the control panel has live voltage unless the external breaker is
OFF. Use extreme caution when working in the control panel to prevent injury.
• Water that could come in contact with the electrical components presents a high
voltage hazard. Avoid these conditions. If you have any doubt of safe watering
practices, contact Conviron.
• Controller may come equipped with an optional Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
such that power will remain live for a period of time even if the power supply is turned
OFF. Use extreme caution when working on the control panel to prevent injury. If you
have any doubts as to whether your unit comes equipped with a UPS, contact Conviron.
• Inside the control panel is an independent temperature shut-off device called the
ir33. This ir33 acts as a secondary fail-safe protector that shuts off the chamber if its
temperature limits are exceeded. The ir33 is set by Conviron and is factory protected
(requires Access Level 3). The factory default setting for the ir33 temperature limit is
ten degrees beyond the chamber operating range. The standard operating range of a
chamber is +4˚C to +45˚C while the standard ir33 shut down settings are -6˚C to +55˚C
depending on the size of the chamber, size of the compressor and other factors. Always
verify, when changing the (Alarm) Temperature within the 6050 setup, that the limits
are still within the minimum and maximum operating limits for the Chamber. This will
ensure that the ir33 only triggers in the event that the actual temperature exceeds the
Chamber's minimum or maximum temperature limit by 10 degrees. It will also ensure
that the ir33 does not trigger before a high or low temperature tracking alarm. The ir33
is located inside the control panel where there is live high voltage. Contact Conviron
Client Services for more information or help if necessary.
• Surfaces and lighting may become hot during operation. Always take appropriate
precautions and do not operate if users will remain inside the chamber for more
than a few minutes unless adequate shielding or other safety precautions are taken.
NOTE: HID lamps can cause serious skin burn and eye inammation from short-wave
ultraviolet radiation if the lamp envelope is punctured or broken.
• Operators should note that water may accumulate on the oor which could be slippery
and pose a safety hazard. Always ensure oors remain dry and wear non-slip footwear.
