Product catalog summary
Overview: The Xenotest® 220/440 are advanced light exposure and weathering testing instruments designed to simulate the effects of sunlight, temperature, and moisture on materials. These instruments accelerate material changes such as color fading, embrittlement, and yellowing, which would naturally occur over months or years, within days or weeks.
Standards: The Xenotest 220 model is specialized for textile testing, meeting standards like ISO 105-B02, -B04, and AATCC TM 16.1-2012. The Xenotest 440 is versatile, suitable for textiles, plastics, coatings, and automotive materials, adhering to a broader range of standards including ISO 105-B02, -B04, -B06, -B10, ASTM G151, G155, and others.
Features:
  • Xenotest 220/220+: Features a 2310 cm² exposure area with a single 2200 W xenon lamp, LCD display, and keypad control. The 220+ model includes a full-color touch screen interface with online networking capabilities.
  • Xenotest 440: Equipped with a twin-lamp system using XenoLogic™ technology for faster testing, reaching up to 2-sun irradiance levels. It includes a rotating specimen rack, automatic control of irradiance, temperature, and humidity, and an ultrasonic humidifier.
Programming and Monitoring: Both models offer digital controllers with multilingual support. The 220+ and 440 models feature a 5.7’’ touch screen for error-free programming, pre-programmed tests, and space for user-defined methods. The 220 model uses a keypad with a large display.
Accessories and Calibration: The instruments support various specimen holders and cover masks for different material types. XenoCal® sensors ensure accurate calibration, typically requiring annual or semi-annual routines.
Additional Features:
  • Humidity and Temperature Control: Efficient ultrasonic humidifiers and specimen spray systems simulate environmental conditions.
  • Optical Components: Non-aging filter systems provide full spectrum daylight simulation for indoor and outdoor conditions.
  • XenoLogic Technology: Extends lamp service life by synchronizing xenon lamps for optimal efficiency.
Technical Specifications:
  • 220/220+: Single 2200 W lamp, 2310 cm² rack capacity, 30-50 W/m² irradiance range, and 40-100 °C BST range.
  • 440: Dual 2200 W lamps, 2310 cm² rack capacity, 30-120 W/m² irradiance range, and 40-115 °C BST range.
Conclusion: The Xenotest® 220/440 series provides comprehensive solutions for accelerated weathering testing, offering flexibility, precision, and efficiency for various materials and standards.

Applications and Standards When predicting how materials will stand up to the elements, it isn’t enough to guess. Ideally, you need to know within the shortest period of time. Inside Xenotest® chambers, material changes caused by sunlight, temperature and moisture can be highly accelerated. For example, color fading, embrittlement or yellowing that would occur naturally over the course of months or years can be realistically simulated within days or weeks. ASTM AATCC Within the Atlas Xenotest series, the 220 model is regarded as the textile testing specialist, meeting all common textile standards....

Accessories XenoCal® Sensors for Accurate Long-lasting Instrument Calibration All XenoCal calibration sensors work independently to accurately support calibration routines. The XenoCal BB 300-400 BST combined sensor measures irradiance in the UV 300-400 nm and BST simultaneously. The XenoCal NB 420 measures irradiance at 420 nm and the XenoCal BPT measures uninsulated Black Panel Temperature. Using these accurate sensors, typically only annual or semi-annual calibration routines are required. Atlas XenoTouch Add-ons for the Xenotest 220+ and 440 Additional software modules activate the Ethernet...
