Model 6580

RVSM compliant

The high accuracy of the tester and NIST-traceable calibration make the tester fully RVSM-compliant.

Pressure & Vacuum system

The unit includes dual vacuum pumps and a pressure pump for higher reliability.

The pressure system includes a membrane dryer and filter to provide clean dry air for the entire system. No external pumps are required.

Programmable limits

User-programmable limits for altitude, airspeed, Mach and VSI provide protection to the aircraft.

Ground feature

Brings Pitot and Static outputs to ambient ground pressure after completing a test.

Leak checks

Pitot and Static leak-checks can be performed either independently or simultaneously.

Three leak-timers can be programmed to perform timed leaks between 1 to 20 minutes.

Applications

Since the pumps are included, this is the ideal tester for rack-mount ATE systems.

Ideal tester for use in an instrument-shop for testing and calibrating ADC’s, altimeters, airspeed indicators, VSI’s, cabin pressure controllers, FDR’s and other air-data instruments.

Calibration period

1 year.

Automated operation

Simply enter the target set-points for altitude and airspeed and the unit automatically achieves the targets, ramping at the programmed rates.

Control at the set-point is stable within ±1 foot, ±0.1 knot or ±0.001 inHg.

Jog and Hold features

Set-points can be jogged up or down in small increments. Ramping to a set-point can be put on hold and controlled at the current measured value.

Profiles feature

A profile of set-points can be downloaded from a PC, allowing the user to step through the set-points using a single key.

Each profile can have up to 50 set-points and 20 profiles can be stored in the unit.

Local display and keypad

The local display and keypad are the operator interface for the tester.

All valid parameters, including altitude, climb and airspeed, are clearly displayed simultaneously on a single screen on the local display.
