Two configurations

Regular or steady-state.

Same chamber, two cooling-loop sizings. Pick by how the device under test is illuminated: briefly (pulsed simulator), or continuously (steady-state simulator).

Pulsed measurement

Regular TC

For temperature-coefficient and pulsed-illumination work.

Pairs with any pulsed Nexun simulator (Pro Max, Pro, Evo). Sets the device under test to a target temperature, holds it through the flash, and steps through profiles for IEC-compliant temperature-coefficient measurement.

  • Pulsed solar simulator measurements
  • Temperature coefficient determination (IEC 60891)
  • Reliable temperature control for standard characterization
  • Brief or intermittent illumination scenarios
Continuous illumination

Steady-State TC

Engineered for steady-state operation under constant heat input.

Required when a steady-state light source is held on the device while temperature must be maintained, e.g., 25 °C reference conditions during long soaks. The cooling loop is sized to compensate for continuous absorbed irradiance.

  • Pulsed simulator measurements (covers Regular TC duty)
  • True steady-state operation at fixed temperature
  • Pairs with Nexun Steady-State and Nexun Perovskite
  • Compensates constant heat input from the light source
Inside the chamber

Four-zone PID. Eight-channel PT100. No reflections.

Three engineering details that make the difference between a temperature box and a measurement-grade thermal chamber.

Four PID zones

Independent control across the active area.

Four electrical heaters, sixteen speed-controlled fans and four PT100 air sensors, one per zone, driven by a four-zone PID. Panel temperature uniformity stays within ±1.7 °C across the device.

Eight-channel PT100

Module-level temperature acquisition.

Eight PT100 channels with 4-point + GND shielded connection (RJ25), 1 s measurement rate and <±1 °C accuracy. Software calibration, USB 2.0 to the Nexun controller.

Light-absorbing substrate

No back reflection into the simulator.

The chamber surface that faces the simulator uses a light-absorbing substrate, so secondary reflections don't compromise spectral or spatial measurement integrity. Vertical configuration on wheels, modular floor space.

Where it earns its place

Built for the labs that take temperature seriously.

  • IEC 60891 temperature-coefficient determination on production and lab systems
  • STC (25 °C) reference measurements during steady-state long-soak tests
  • Perovskite preconditioning under controlled thermal envelopes
  • Cell and module thermal stability characterisation across the 15–75 °C range
  • Calibration laboratories needing repeatable thermal set-points with traceable PT100 chains
  • Quality labs validating module performance at extreme operating temperatures
