Environmental Chamber Controllers from Russells Technical Products
Russells integrates three types of state-of-the-art environmental control systems to monitor, record, and report data from our test chambers.
The VS1 Virtual Control System
Our own custom engineered system known for it's advanced features and easy-to-use interface.
Synergy Controllers by Tidal Engineering
 The Synergy controller and Synergy series (patent-pending) of hardware and software products are designed to enhance the overall efficiency of the environmental testing process. The culmination of an extensive, multidisciplinary development process, the Synergy series provides OEMs, test labs, re-builders/refurbishers, and end-users alike with the industry's most comprehensive, single-source solution to exacting temperature and humidity testing requirements.
Watlow Series F4 Controllers
 Watlow's Series F4 controllers offer high performance PID control tailored for environmental chamber or furnace and oven applications. With one or two loops of control, along with industry leading control features, including cascade, differential, and ratio control, these controllers are ideally suited for your most demanding control applications.
Operators love
our test chamber control system because it's easy to program and use. The VS1 operates
in a Windows format with familiar, intuitive functionality.
This robust control system uses off–the–shelf hardware
and can be retrofitted to any existing test chamber in a matter
of hours. No more using different control systems for different
brands of environmental test chambers. You can standardize your entire lab
using the VS1 system. Maintenance technicians also love the VS1
Control System for its extensive maintenance logs and alarming
systems (up to 64 programmable alarms). Flexible trending data is always right at your fingertips
for the quality control team and can be easily exported into other computer programs (i.e.,
Excel). With the network version of VS1, you can view or program
data from the next room, building, or the other side of the
world! You are never out of touch with your VS1 environmental chamber control system.
