Pressure controller

Application
The model CPA8001 air data test set (ADTS) is an air data controller designed for automated calibration and testing of altimeters, rate of climb indicators, airspeed indicators and air data computers.

Functionality
The high-definition colour touchscreen and intuitive interface provides for simultaneous or asynchronous control of altitude / altitude rate, and/or airspeed / airspeed rate. Entry of set points and system setting becomes second nature through the easy to understand buttons and menus. In addition, the user-programmable sequence function provides storage and automated control of standard test procedures.

Sensors and control
A dual (Ps/Pt or Ps/Qc) removable/interchangeable transducer is available, with an accuracy of 0.009 % IS-50. The requirements of RVSM specification are achieved with either sensor. User-specified ranges are available for military, commercial or aircraft applications. The automated zero point adjustment adds another high accuracy absolute sensor within the zero point adjustment. This insures a high level of accuracy by automatically zero point adjustment for both channels. The percent of reading specification plus a proprietary control valve regulator, provides accurate, and stable control.

Remote operation
Remote operation, via IEEE-488.2 (GPIB), Ethernet, RS-232 or USB and command set emulation of non-Mensor ADTS instruments makes the CPA8001 a valuable “drop-in” asset that can be used in production or calibration of air data instruments.

Service and calibration
The CPA8001 can be supplied with an external calibration sled for remote calibration outside of the installed unit. Combined with Mensor’s world-class service and support, the CPA8001 is the best solution to air data calibration applications.
