408 L Test Capacity | −40°C / −70°C Options | Programmable Environmental Testing
The ITM-LAB GDJS-408L is a 408 L temperature and humidity test chamber for evaluating how electronic components, automotive parts and industrial materials respond to controlled environmental conditions.
Available with a minimum temperature of −40°C or −70°C, the chamber supports high- and low-temperature exposure, steady-state damp heat and programmed environmental cycles. A touchscreen controller provides test programming, temperature and humidity monitoring, and data recording.
Built Around the Test, Not Just the Temperature Range
A temperature and humidity chamber needs to do more than reach the required setpoint. The specimen must fit comfortably inside the workspace, air must circulate around it, and the programmed conditions must remain within the chamber's operating limits.
The GDJS-408L is intended for laboratories that need a mid-sized environmental test space without moving to a larger walk-in system. Its 408 L capacity accommodates a range of components and assemblies, with space for specimen positioning and supporting fixtures.
Two configurations are available: theGDJS-408L-B, rated from −40°C to +150°C, and the GDJS-408L-C, rated from −70°C to +150°C. Both provide temperature and humidity control, with humidity operation limited to the specified temperature–humidity envelope.
For laboratories working with IEC 60068 test procedures, the choice between the B and C versions should begin with the required low-temperature condition, followed by specimen size, loading and test duration.

A 408 L Workspace for Real Test Specimens
The GDJS-408L provides a 600 × 800 × 850 mm internal workspace, designed to accommodate test specimens, fixtures, sample racks and electrical connections. When planning the test arrangement, sufficient clearance should be maintained for air circulation, particularly when testing multiple specimens or powered electronic assemblies.
Before selecting the chamber, consider the complete specimen dimensions, total loading and heat generated during operation. Published chamber performance is based on no-load conditions, so temperature and humidity performance under actual loading should be reviewed according to the intended test setup.
Temperature and Humidity Performance
The GDJS-408L provides controlled temperature and humidity exposure for laboratory environmental testing. However, the temperature range and humidity range should not be interpreted as two independent limits that can be combined at any setpoint.
The chamber's humidity capability is defined by a temperature–humidity operating envelope. For example, the technical specification identifies operating points including 20°C/98% RH, 60°C/20% RH and 85°C/85% RH.
When planning a damp heat test, confirm that the complete temperature and humidity profile falls within the supported operating area.

Programmable Testing and Data Recording
The GDJS-408L features a 7-inch TFT touchscreen controller supporting fixed-setpoint operation and multi-step temperature and humidity test programs. Operators can configure repeatable environmental profiles, monitor test conditions in real time and review historical temperature and humidity curves.
For test documentation and analysis, recorded data can be exported in CSV format via the standard USB interface. Optional RS-232 and Ethernet communication interfaces are available for integration requirements, while scheduled startup and fault indication functions support routine laboratory operation.
Typical Test Applications
The GDJS-408L is suitable for product development, quality control and environmental reliability evaluation where controlled temperature or humidity exposure is required.

Chamber Construction and Practical Features
The GDJS-408L features a SUS304 stainless-steel interior, powder-coated steel exterior, insulated cabinet and silicone door seal for reliable daily laboratory operation. A three-layer observation window with electric heating helps reduce frosting and condensation, while integrated LED lighting allows operators to monitor specimens during testing.
The chamber comes with two sample racks and a left-side test port for routing cables to external equipment, with 50 mm and 100 mm port options listed in the specification. Optional glove ports and communication interfaces can be configured according to specific testing requirements.
Equipment Protection
The GDJS-408L includes protective functions for abnormal temperature conditions, compressor operation, circulating fans and electrical faults.
An independent specimen overtemperature protector is also listed in the technical specification.
These protections do not replace a specimen-specific safety assessment. The materials being tested and any electrical loads inside the chamber must be reviewed before operation.

Should I choose the −40°C or −70°C version?
Start with the lowest temperature required by your test procedure. The GDJS-408L-B covers −40°C to +150°C, while the GDJS-408L-C extends the lower limit to −70°C. There is no need to select the lower-temperature configuration unless the application requires it.
Can the chamber maintain 85°C/85% RH?
The manufacturer's technical specification lists 85°C/85% RH as an operating point. The complete test duration, specimen loading and any additional requirements should still be reviewed before confirming the application.
Can multiple specimens be tested together?
Yes, provided the combined specimen arrangement fits the chamber and allows adequate air circulation. Loading can affect actual environmental performance, so the test arrangement should be considered during selection.
Can test data be exported?
Yes. The specified controller supports recording of temperature and humidity curves and exporting historical data in CSV format.
What information is needed for a quotation?
The most useful details are the DUT dimensions and weight, required temperature and humidity conditions, test standard, exposure duration, electrical supply and any special fixtures or connections.
