specifically designed to be an affordable light fastness tester
that meets the requirements of ISO and AATCC. The new Q-Suns
surprising low purchase price and operating costs set a new
standard for light fastness testing. The new Q-Sun is easy to
install, easy to use and practically maintenance-free. The Model
B02 is completely automated and can operate continuously,24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
47. Q-Sun B02 Light fastness Tester Overview Spectrum.
Together, the long life xenon lamps and special filter lantern
produce the spectrum required for textile testing. Solar Eye
Irradiance Control. Precise monitoring and control of irradiance
ensures maximum repeatability, reproducibility and ease of use.
Calibration is quick and easy with the patented Auto Cal system.
Humidity Control. The electronic humidity sensor provides precise
control of relative humidity.
48. Cont Temperature Control: Both Chamber Air Temperature and
Black Standard Temperature are simultaneously controlled to close
tolerances. Capacity: Specimen capacity is significantly larger
than comparable testers. Exterior Dimensions: The Q-Sun B02 is the
perfect size for textile labs. Height 166cm (65.5"); Width 91 cm
(36"); Depth 62cm (24.5").

53. Irradiance The Q-Suns Solar Eye Irradiance Control system
allows maximum repeatability and reproducibility of test results.
The Solar Eye is a patented, precision light control system that
automatically monitors and maintains the programmed light
intensity. Irradiance is controlled at either TUV (300-400 nm) or
420 nm. The patented Auto cal system uses a special calibration
radiometer that measures the light intensity of the lamp and
electronically transfers the data to the controller. The Solar Eye
sets a new standard in calibration. It takes only seconds and there
is little chance for operator error.

56. Temperature and Humidity Temperature is critical because it
influences the rate of degradation. In the Q-Sun, temperature is
precisely maintained by a system that simultaneously controls both
Black Standard Temperature and Chamber Air Temperature. The
relative humidity in the chamber governs the moisture content of
the surface of the test specimen during exposure. The Q-Suns
electronic humidity sensor provides precise control of relative
humidity.
