DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS:

Servo Valve Tester USD $500.00

Coil current adjustment
Direct coil current indication (and battery status)
Jog forward - backward control c/w weatherproof boot
Diecast aluminum enclosure
8ft cable c/w 4-pin Military connector
carrying case

The Servo Valve Tester (jogbox) is primarily used to diagnose problems in electro-hydraulic positioning systems by allowing service personnel to rapidly test the manual response of the hydraulics to direct commands. It can also be used during repairs and regular maintenance periods by simplifying adjustments to machinery.

This servotester is compatible with most industry standard servovalves manufactured by MOOG, VICKERS, PARKER, REXROTH, ATCHELY and others that conform to the dual-coil 4-pin military circular connector format. Up to 80mA drive current is available and is indicated proportionally on 2 bi-color LED's which will detect failure of one-half of the valve coils through the exclusive Dual-Drive circuit. This also allows testing of single coil valves such as the SUNSTRAND pump-stroker types.

Only the finest quality components are used in this line of products ensuring consistent performance and long-life. Information is available on the Temposonics II Cable Tester, another useful diagnostic/service tool.

Proportional Valve Tester USD $600.00

External power supply 120vac
Flow command adjustment (+/-10V and +/-10mA)
Spool position indicator (4-20mA or +/-10V)
Power supply indicator (green - OK, yellow - No feedback)
Jog forward/back control c/w weatherproof boot
Diecast aluminum enclosure
7-pin Military circular connector

The Proportional Valve Tester is compatible with the MOOG 633/634 series of proportional valves as well as valves by manufacturers that conform to this standard.

Flow rate to the valve is adjusted from zero to max with the command knob (cw to increase) and the resulting spool position is indicated on a multicolor LED (dark at null, progressively more green or red for forward or reverse flow 4 - 20mA). If the power LED is yellow then there is no spool feedback connected (4 to 20mA). Flow is commanded to the valve only while the jog direction switch is activated.

Tempo II Cable Tester USD $500.00

10-pin threaded style Temposonic II connector

Power supply status indicators

Diecast aluminum enclosure

The Tempo II Cable Tester was designed to speed and simplify confirmation of correct field wiring in positioning systems prior to connecting the probe (reducing the risk of damage to both the probe and controller). It is also useful when there is an undetermined problem in the system.

It can be difficult and time consuming to check the voltages on the cable with a voltmeter; especially when the equipment should be running and the probe is in an awkward location.

Plugging the tester onto the cable will immediately show the status of the dual power supply voltages at the probe with bi-color LED's. Two green lights indicate proper voltage - all possible combinations of missing or reversed supplies are uniquely displayed. If the supplies appear correct then the +/- GATE and +/- INTERROGATION signal lines are looped-back with high impedance +/-5V and +/-10V sources that can be easily measured back at the controller completely confirming the state of the cable.
