TESTER: PITOT STATIC,DIGITAL, REDUCED VERT SEPARATION MIN | Barfield Instruments

DPS500 and DPS501 digital air data testers.MEETS RVSM ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS. TheDPS501 is a rack-mountable dual channel controller appropriate for altimeter and airspeed calibration or as anintegral part of an automatic test equipment (ATE) system.The DPS500 air data test set (pictured) is a self-contained, transportable, fully automated, user programmablepitot-static tester housed in a military styled enclosure. The unit includes a DPS501 controller, a pressure/vacuumpump, and a remote hand-terminal permitting convenient operation from the cockpit.The DPS500 flightline version and the DPS501 rack-mount version are fully automated units capable of providingsimulation, testing, and precision calibration of air data components on the flightline or in a certified repair shop.All functions of the testers are fully automatic and require no manual sequencing of valves or regulators. TheDPS500/501 testers were developed to meet the aviation industry_x0012_s increasing standards and the need forreducing maintenance costs. Precision vibrating element sensors achieve high accuracy read-out and control ofboth altitude and airspeed parameters. The high accuracy and stability (see Air Data Specifications for details) ofthe unit qualifies the DPS500/501 for certifying aircraft for reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM)operation and decreases the calibration interval from 30 days to once every year.An optional Test Program Manager interfaces the DPS500/501 with a PC/notebook which allows theexecution of procedures for carrying out tests such as FAR 43 Appendix E, FAR 91-411, RVSM or other userprogrammed test routines. These user programmed tests are created in a PC-based text editor using verysimple commands. Test data is tabulated and can be printed for use in QC reports or instrument calibrationrecords.DPS500 A1 data test kit
