Overview
Q-Lab accepts no responsibility for the consequences if the user fails to comply with the instructions in this Technical
Manual. Q-Lab will accept responsibility for defective parts or components only if the machinery was defective at the
time that the tester was shipped.
●Warning: If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
●This manual does not claim to address potential safety issues, if any, associated with the use of this product.
●It is the responsibility of the user of this manual to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine
the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
●If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
safety devices may be impaired.
●The Q-SUN meets the European Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and complies with the requirements of
EN 61010-1: 2010 (Third Edition), “Safety of Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use”.
●The Q-SUN meets the European Electromagnetic Directive 2014/30/EC and complies with the requirements of
EN 55011:2007 Radiated and Conducted Emissions – class A.
●Use only parts that have been supplied or recommended by Q-Lab.

Heat and Electrical Shock Hazards
Warning Labels
●All Q-SUN Xe-1 models are equipped with a lamp access door interlock switch that turns off the xenon lamps when
the lamp access door is opened (Figure 2a and Figure 2b).
●Warning labels (Figure 2c and Figure 2d) indicate heat and electric shock hazards inside the Q-SUN Xe-1 tester.
●Do not defeat the switch that turns off lamps when the lamp access door is open.

Ultraviolet and Infrared Hazards
Ultraviolet (UV) Light
●There is no Ultraviolet (UV) hazard from any Q-SUN tester in normal operation with the doors closed.
●The Q-SUN lamps produce UV light that can cause severe sunburn, eye inammation, and damage to
your vision.
●All Q-SUN Xe-1 models are equipped with a chamber door interlock switch that turns off the xenon lamps
when the chamber door is opened (Figure 2e and Figure 2f).
●Do not defeat the switch that turns off lamps when the chamber door is open.

Overview
●This Quick Setup Guide is not a Technical Manual.
●This document is intended to explain only the basics of uncrating and setting up a Q-SUN Xenon Test Chamber.
●See the LX-5090-TM Q-SUN Xe-1 Technical Manual for complete information on the installation, operation, and
maintenance of Q-SUN Xe-1-SE, Xe-1-BCE, Xe-1-SCE, and Xe-1-WE testers.
●See the LX-5090B-TM Q-SUN Xe-1 Technical Manual for complete information on the installation, operation, and
maintenance of Q-SUN Xe-1-B testers.
Q-SUN Xe-1 Models Covered in This Guide:
Model Conguration Installation Control Interface
Xe-1-B B: Basic Tester Tabletop Keypad/LCD
Xe-1-SE S: Water Spray Tabletop Dual Touchscreen
Xe-1-BCE C: Chiller Stand-Alone Dual Touchscreen
Xe-1-SCE Chiller + Spray Stand-Alone Dual Touchscreen

Section 4. Operating Environment
4. Operating Environment
The Tester Must Be Located in a Suitable Environment
●All Q-Lab test chambers are sophisticated scientic instruments.
●All tester models must be operated in a suitable controlled environment (Section 4.1).
●Operating the tester in an unsuitable environment (Section 4.2) will void the warranty.
4.1 Suitable Environments (May 2020)
Ambient Laboratory Temperature and Humidity
●The recommended ambient operating temperature and relative humidity (RH) for Q-SUN testers is 23 ± 5 °C and
50 ± 25% RH.
●Operating outside the recommended range (or in rare cases, even within it), certain standards or test cycle conditions
may not be achievable.
●Operating outside the recommended range can result in the tester producing chamber temperature and/or humidity
faults.
●Never operate your tester in lab temperatures >40 °C or >80% RH.
●Consult with Q-Lab for more specic information about achievable chamber temperature/humidity values based upon
various ambient lab conditions.
Physical Environment
●A room that is dry, clean, and free of dust, particles, gases, or salt fog.
●A room with an HVAC (heating/ventilation/air-conditioning) system.
●A location away from windows or HVAC vents.
●A location that provides the necessary minimum clearances as specied in Section 6.1.
Section 4. Operating Environment

4.2 Unsuitable Environments (May 2020)
Salt Fog or Other Airborne Contamination
●Operating a Q-SUN tester in an unsuitable environment will void the warranty.
●DO NOT install Q-SUN testers in a room with corrosion chambers (Figure 4.2a).
●DO NOT locate a Q-SUN tester in a room with machines or processes that generate dust,
particles, vapors, gases, etc (Figure 4.2b).

with corrosion chambers.
Figure 4.2b: Do not locate testers in a room
with airborne dust, particles, or gases.
Uncontrolled Temperature and Humidity
●Do not operate the tester in a room with uncontrolled temperature and humidity (Figure 4.2c).
●Do not locate tester near sources of cold or hot air (Figure 4.2d).
Figure 4.2c: Do not locate testers near open windows.
