LT5 Features

The LT5 series of leak testers have many advanced features:

High accuracy leakage measurement

The system uses a sensitive pressure transducer with a low noise amplifier and high speed, high resolution analog to digital converter. This minimizes measurement errors.

Flexible bottle transport system

Timings can be easily adjusted to optimize bottle transport, where required, without sacrificing test time.

New Touch-Screen Microprocessor control system

T1-1 Touchscreen Control Panel

It is now cost effective to use a modern touch-screen operator interface, rather than a simple digital readout. This has many advantages as follows:
Extremely flexible design. Extra features and customizations can be easily integrated into existing systems.
All test results, displays and counts are displayed together on the main displays page. This enables evaluation of the status of the system at a glance.
All settings are displayed together on a settings page, allowing easy inspection and modification.
All input and output states are displayed together on a diagnostics page. This allows quick fault finding.
The graphics based nature of the screen allows descriptive text and graphics to appear identifying all settings , results and warnings.
Setting changes can be locked out if required.
International - Since all information is presented on the touch screen display, it is easy to change the program to use another language (where the system is to be used in a non - English speaking country).

High Reliability

This is possible due to technology improvement, reduced component count, integration of all electrical functions onto the PCB, and an in-depth understanding of failure mechanisms.

Modular pneumatic system

Modular Pneumatic System

State of the art pneumatic system - valves rated at 50 million cycles
Allows quick customization for special needs.
Allows easy expansion of system to include extra facilities even after installation.

Cost Effective

The circuit cards have been designed and programmed specifically for this application. Great care has been taken to ensure that the system is easily re-programmable, expandable and reliable. This means that the performance and cost limitations of using a bought-in Programmable Logic Controller are avoided.

Wide Range of Options

The leak tester design is highly flexible with respect to software, electronics, pneumatics and mechanics. This allows a wide range of options (see following) to be added at any time, even after installation.
