Environmental stress screening (ESS) is one of the most widely used of all accelerated reliability tests. It precipitates latent defects, which are detectable only with the application of stress. Latent defects are introduced into the product during manufacturing, since design-related defects should have been detected and eliminated by reliability-enhancement testing during the design phase.
Since the early 1980's there has been much discussion regarding various approaches and methods in the use of environmental stress screening and Halt/HASS to markedly improve product quality and life. Unfortunately, there was widespread misunderstanding and misapplication of the methodology . . . . and some still remains. Accordingly, we have listed the "Seven Deadly Sins of HALT/HASS".
The short lifecycle of today's electronic products creates many pressures for rapid development and manufacture of new products, or product upgrades, in order to stay ahead in the competitive market place. Take for instance, the short model life of computers and printers. A new model appears every few months. Time-to-market is short, and customers expect the new models to work "out of the box" each and every time.
These pressures can result in compromised product development and/or manufacturing problems caused by part, process, and workmanship defects. The result is increased manufacturing costs, warranty costs, impacted profit margins, and sadly worse, customer dissatisfaction with resulting loss of market share.
System Description
The humidification systems provided with Hanse Environmental, Inc. chambers utilize the latest in ultrasonic nebulization principles to generate the moisture required in the chamber. The ultrasonic nozzle uses air and water under pressure. Atomized water leaving the nozzle is hit by the air reflected by the resonator as sound waves. It is then nebulized into very small particles, like a fog, and rapidly absorbed by the air. The resonator is adjusted at the factory for maximum atomization and proper fog pattern. The fog pattern can be narrowed by moving the resonator further from the nozzle tip, and conversely, widened by moving the resonator closer to the tip.
The water used in the humidification system can be demineralized by the optional D.I. bottle. In addition, a water quality light is included to monitor the quality of the water generated by the D.I. bottle. The D.I. bottles are a mixture of bed resin that contains positive and negative charged resins. These resins remove the minerals from the water. The D.I. bottle supplied with the Hanse Chamber is a 1 cubic foot bottle.
For our customers with HanseView, you may now get your updates through our website.
We like to keep our customers running the most current version of HanseView. This will avoid any known problems that have already been resolved in new versions.
After you receve your login info, go to the downloads area and navigate to HanseView. Download the compressed file, execute, and update. Please read installation notes before updating, as features have been added that need configuration.

If you are looking for your user manuals and support documents for your chamber, look no further than our website! We have been digitizing user manuals for both our chambers and their components. Below are a few links to them which can be found in our download section:

HanseView allow for remote control through text files. This can be done on local computer or via file sharing. Basic concept is that a command written to a text file is read by HanseView then executed and output placed to a text file.
This remote control capability allows for test stand integration. You can then use 1 of two models. Have test stand send set point commands or profile start stop commands to control chamber then read back current status. Other option is to have test stand read only status and react to conditions and time to perform necessary equipment test.
