TDA-100P Automatic Filter Tester

TDA-100P Locally Operated Configuration    

  Locally Operated Configuration     Fully Integrated Configuration


Description

The new TDA-100P Automatic Filter Tester utilizes state-of-the-art technology and microprocessor control. This new design features a user-friendly interface to minimize setup and operator training. All functions and operating parameters of the TDA-100P can be programmed using just 4 function keys and the menus are shown on an easy-to read, alphanumeric, vacuum fluorescent (VF) display.


Features

The test parameters for Percent Penetration, Filter Resistance, and Filter Test Flow are shown on individual digital display panels. All three test parameters have individually adjustable alarm set points which are continuously monitored by the microprocessor. Should a parameter exceed its set point, the FAIL light will illuminate and the parameter's digital display will flash. Testing will not be permitted until the alarm is reset.

The microprocessor self-checks the system during operation and the FAULT light alerts the operator to any system faults. The specific problem causing the fault is identified on the VF display. The near mono-dispersed aerosol is also microprocessor controlled, allowing fully automatic, unattended operation when integrated into an automated production line.

The new TDA-100P Automatic Filter Tester is housed in a compact, tabletop cabinet which features an ergonomic front control panel. The TDA-100P has new safety features on its test fixture that can be configured to accommodate any canister filter manufactured today or in the future. An RS-232 port and user interface on the TDA-100P give the capability of data collection for SPC purposes and control of the machine by remote PC.
