Automated, intelligent earth bond and loop testing.
Electrical bond, loop and joint tests are carried out at OEM airframe stage and in MRO operations. They're used to detect high resistance ground circuits for applications including:
- Measuring resistance on aircraft, helicopters, UAVs and large structures such as wind turbines, and chemical plant infrastructure
- Bond resistance between structural elements
- Loop resistance and integrity of cable shields and bonding straps
- Joint resistance diagnostics
- Testing during manufacture
- Safety compliance tests during scheduled maintenance
Why the BLTU4 is the right tool for you:
Measuring at 1KHz frequency means the BLTU4 is suitable for use on Airbus, Bombardier and COMAC aircraft.
It is an approved alternative to the TS11194 loop tester through equivalency.
The BLTU4 is ideal for use during prescribed maintenance testing by MROs as well as during manufacture.
Designed for industrial / hangar applications, BLTU4 has brawn as well as brains.
It can be loaded with on-screen operator instructions to make taking measurements as simple as possible. Weighing just 7kg (15.5lbs), it's light enough to be handled by a single operator. To enable a faster testing process, it also has pass/fail status indicators on the couplers and bond probes.
The BLTU4 also guarantees traceability, through paperless process log and uploading of test results.
The removable "hot-swap" batteries also means no downtime due to loss of power.
Carry out bond, loop and joint testing with ease using the BLTU4.
The bond test resistance range is 0.03mΩ to 20Ω; loop test resistance range from 1mΩ to 200mΩ; and joint test resistance range from 0.1mΩ to 200mΩ.
The soft-start current source prevents arcing, and the system can also be operated in both automatic and manual modes.
