Model 9500 System Manual – Document #OM9500 - Edition 3.0 July 2022
2GETTING STARTED
This section provides the user with information about the Model 9500 humidity generator, where to obtain
technical support, software license agreement, specifications, uncertainty, facility requirements, and
installation. The following sections provide further details on using and operating the Model 9500 generator
using the ControLog software.
Note -All pressures are absolute unless noted otherwise.
2.1 ABOUT
The Thunder Scientific Model 9500 Humidity Generator produces known humidity values using the
fundamental, NIST proven, “two-pressure” principle. The Model 9500 uses this fundamental “two-
pressure” principle to continuously supply a known relative humidity, dew point, frost point, parts per
million, or other calculated value for instrument calibration and evaluation and precision environmental
testing.
The Model 9500 humidity generator encompasses a high-performance stand-alone Data Acquisition
Computer that performs all humidity generation and control functions and a second dedicated Human
Machine Interface (HMI) computer that runs ControLog. ControLog is a software application that fully
automates the operation of the Model 9500 humidity generator and allows various device connections
through several different interfaces. Data from the generator and connected device or devices is
automatically retrieved and stored for viewing in either numerical or graphical format in real-time or post-
process. Data can transfer off the system via a USB drive for further viewing, post-processing, and
printing. The ControLog software also provides the primary interface to the operator via the multi-point
touch display and keyboard.
Key features of the ControLog software are:
•The ControLog software stores recorded data into individual data sheets (tab). Each data sheet
contains a spreadsheet-type view consisting of a date/time stamp and the measured data items
corresponding to that date/time stamp. Data sheets consist of three similar but different types:
Device Data, File Data, and Data Summary. Each type has the same spreadsheet view and
operation, but all three have different data sources.
•Graphing is a powerful tool for viewing recorded data or monitoring current data in real-time. The
graph works hand in hand with the data sheets. While the generator is operating, data sheets
store the most recent data points from the generator and connected devices at the desired
interval. A graph then creates a visual picture of this stored data.
•The Auto Profiling feature is very similar to the Generate mode, with the main exception that
profiling relies on a predefined list of setpoints referred to as a profile. The user-configurable
profile is ControLog's road map during Auto Profile operation. It defines each setpoint, what rate
to go from one setpoint to another, and how long to stay at a specific setpoint before moving to
the next setpoint.
•ControLog supports a customizable interface that works with most devices. ControLog allows the
user to create a new device connection using the “Connection Wizard” or open previously saved
connections. The wizard opens a separate dialog window containing various steps that guide the
user in defining the communication required to receive the desired data items from the

8
Model 9500 System Manual – Document #OM9500 - Edition 3.0 July 2022
device. The user can create as many (up to 60) or as few data items as they see fit for any
device. Each data item can be uniquely named and, once connected, recorded in its own data
sheet. ControLog also allows the user to save these interfaces for future use.

Storage Temperature: ................................................................................................................ 0 to 50 °C
Humidity: ..................................................................................................... 5 to 95% RH Non-condensing
2.11.2 Floor Space
An area of five feet by ten feet is recommended. This area allows two feet of access to the sides and rear
console panels.
Refer to drawing: 9500D901-2,
Note –of the two feet of access to the rear of the generator, 29”x16” of the floor space can be used for the
air booster system.
2.11.3 Power
Electrical Power required is 208-240 VAC, 60 Hz, 3 phase, 20 Amp, 4 wire service.
2.11.4 Air Supply
Instrument quality air with a maximum pressure of 350 psiG (minimum pressure of 325 psiG to generate
5 %RH @ 0 °C and 15 psiA Pc). A flow rate capability of 100 L/min and a pressure dew point of 2 °C or less
are recommended.
The 9500 can support two supply pressure inputs when an air booster system is required to achieve high
pressure. The low range supply is directly connected to the facility air supply (<325 psiG), and the high
range supply is connected to an air booster to achieve the higher supply pressures (325 psiG). This two-
supply input feature helps limit the operation of the air booster as the system usually operates on the low
supply pressure input and switches to the high supply pressure input (air booster) when required (running
low %RH).
The system automatically switches to the high supply pressure input whenever the required saturation
pressure setpoint exceeds the low supply reading minus 5 psi. This pressure switch is done immediately
upon a setpoint change to minimize any disturbance caused by switching supply inputs while the system
transitions to the new setpoint. The system switches back to the low supply pressure input once the
saturation pressure setpoint and actual saturation pressure have fallen outside a 10-psi window from the
initial switch point.
For example, if the user has 100 psi on the low supply input and 325 psi on the high supply input. The
system switches from the low to the high input as soon as the user enters a humidity setpoint that requires
pressures above 95 psi (100 – 5), such as low %RH (< 15%RH). The system switches back from high to low
input once the required saturation pressure setpoint and actual saturation pressure have fallen below 85 psi
(95 – 10).
Note –The internal 9500 regulator must be set to regulate the high range pressure. The low-range supply
pressure input must be externally regulated before entering the 9500.

15
Model 9500 System Manual – Document #OM9500 - Edition 3.0 July 2022
Refer to section 2.12.10 Setting Supply Pressure Regulator,for detailed instructions on how to set the supply
pressure regulator and how to configure the system based on the connected supply inputs.
2.11.4.1 Air Booster
The Model 9500 can be supplied with an air booster system to amplify the input supply pressure when the
user’s facility air does not meet the 325 psiG required for low humidity generation. Refer to the air booster
system documentation for more information on the air booster system's installation, operation, and
maintenance.
2.11.5 Cooling Water Supply
Cooling water at the console inlet shall be a minimum of two gallons per minute, at approximately 21 °C,
with a minimum pressure of 35 psiG and a maximum pressure of 150 psiG. The cooling water outlet shall be
connected to a wastewater drain or closed-loop system cooling return. The outlet pressure of a closed
system is not to exceed 50 psiG.
Note – Cooling water temperatures below ambient DP must be avoided to eliminate condensation on
condenser piping.
2.11.6 Distilled Water Supply
A gravity or pressure feed (25 psiG maximum pressure) distilled water supply, at a flow rate of 1/2 gallon per
minute minimum, is recommended.
2.11.7 Wastewater Drain
A floor-type wastewater drain for draining bath fluid during maintenance is recommended.
2.11.8 Propylene Glycol
The appropriate amount of propylene glycol (approximately 5 gallons of 70% propylene glycol) must be
added to the temperature bath fluid if the system is to be operated below 5 °C. Check bath fluid protection
level using a glycol refractometer for a temperature minimum of -10 °C
