Description

Precision Air Data Calibration, Redefined

In the demanding world of aerospace and aviation, the PACE 6000-ADC Rackmount high accuracy air data calibrator stands as an indispensable tool for ensuring the safety and performance of flight instrumentation. This advanced system represents a cost-effective solution for your calibration needs, designed specifically for the rigorous precision required in modern aircraft maintenance and manufacturing. At its core, the PACE 6000-ADC is a twin-channel Ps and Pt pressure control system, meticulously engineered for the precision calibration and verification of aircraft pitot-statics. This compliance with reduced vertical separation minima (RVSM) requirements is paramount, as RVSM airspace necessitates highly accurate altimetry to ensure safe vertical spacing between aircraft. The system’s ability to simultaneously control both static (Ps) and pitot (Pt) pressures allows for comprehensive testing of critical flight instruments, simulating real-world flight conditions with exceptional fidelity. This dual-channel capability ensures that all aspects of an aircraft’s air data system can be thoroughly validated, providing technicians and engineers with the confidence that vital flight data is accurate and reliable, contributing directly to airworthiness and flight safety globally.

Comprehensive Capabilities for Aircraft Instrumentation

The PACE 6000-ADC is a fully programmable unit, meticulously designed to cater to a wide range of fixed or rotary wing aircraft. This adaptability makes it an invaluable asset across the entire aviation spectrum, from commercial airlines to military operations and general aviation. Its primary function is to enable vital flight instrumentation, such as altimeters, airspeed indicators, rate of climb indicators, Mach meters, and air data computers, to be quickly and accurately tested. These instruments are the eyes and ears of a pilot, providing critical information for navigation, performance, and safety. The ability to simulate various flight conditions, including changes in altitude, airspeed, and climb/descent rates, allows for thorough verification of instrument responses. This ensures that the cockpit displays provide precise data to the flight crew, which is essential for safe and efficient flight operations. The PACE 6000-ADC’s comprehensive testing capabilities not only streamline the calibration process but also enhance the overall reliability of aircraft systems, directly impacting flight safety and operational efficiency, making it a cornerstone of modern avionics maintenance protocols worldwide.

Engineered for Seamless System Integration

Designed with modern test environments in mind, the PACE 6000-ADC is engineered for 483 mm (19 in) rack mounting, making it ideal for integration into existing laboratory or hangar setups. Its compact 132 mm (5.2 in) (3U) high form factor ensures efficient use of valuable rack space, a significant advantage in crowded calibration facilities. Furthermore, the availability of a range of IEEE 488 interfaces positions it as an ideal component for use with existing automatic test equipment (ATE) systems. This robust connectivity allows for automated test sequences, reducing human error and significantly increasing throughput, which is crucial in high-volume calibration environments. The seamless integration capabilities mean that the PACE 6000-ADC can become a central part of a larger, automated calibration system, enabling efficient and repeatable testing procedures. This design philosophy not only enhances the operational efficiency of the calibrator but also provides a future-proof solution that can adapt to evolving test automation needs, ensuring long-term utility and value for aerospace and defense organizations globally.

The Innovation of PACE Pneumatic Control

At the heart of the PACE 6000-ADC’s exceptional performance lies the innovation of the new PACE pneumatic modular pressure controller. This cutting-edge technology brings together the latest control and measurement technology from Druck to offer an elegant, fast, flexible, and economical solution to pressure control. This modular approach provides significant advantages, particularly for automated production or test and calibration applications. The system’s ability to utilize any interchangeable PACE CM control module as a benchtop or rack-mounted pressure controller offers unparalleled versatility. This means that calibration data is conveniently stored within the control module, simplifying recalibration processes, as only the CM needs to be sent away for recalibration, minimizing downtime for the entire system. This intelligent design ensures operational continuity and reduces logistical complexities, making maintenance more efficient and cost-effective. The high-speed pressure control capabilities of the PACE CM module further enhance the system’s efficiency, allowing for rapid pressure changes and stable setpoints, which are critical for high-throughput testing environments in the aerospace industry.

Intuitive Interface and Global Accessibility

The PACE 6000-ADC is designed with the user in mind, featuring an easy-to-use color touch screen display that provides clear and concise information. The intuitive task-driven menu simplifies navigation and operation, minimizing the learning curve for new users and enhancing efficiency for experienced technicians. Beyond ease of use, the system incorporates essential functionalities such as leak test capabilities, crucial for verifying the integrity of pitot-static systems, and a test program feature that allows for the creation and execution of automated test sequences. The calibrator also offers multi-language support, with the flexibility to add any additional language to suit specific requirements through easy translation and download. This global accessibility ensures that the PACE 6000-ADC can be effectively deployed in diverse international environments, catering to a broad range of users. Connectivity is comprehensive, with RS232, IEEE connectivity, Ethernet, and USB as standard, facilitating seamless integration with existing IT infrastructures and data management systems, enabling efficient data logging, analysis, and remote control of calibration processes across the globe.

Aeronautical Control for Flight Safety

A core strength of the PACE 6000-ADC is its dedicated aeronautical control capabilities, providing functionalities specifically tailored for the demanding requirements of aircraft instrumentation calibration. This includes the crucial feature of simultaneous control of calibrated airspeed and altitude, coupled with a convenient “go to ground” function. This simultaneous control allows for realistic simulation of flight profiles, enabling comprehensive testing of how altimeters and airspeed indicators respond to dynamic changes. The “go to ground” function provides a rapid and safe return to ambient conditions, streamlining testing procedures and enhancing operational safety. Furthermore, the system offers indication and control available in pure aeronautical units, which is critical for aviation professionals. Users can directly read and control parameters in Altitude (feet or meters), Air Speed (knots or km/hour, mph), Mach (Mach number), and Rate of climb (feet or meters/minute, second). This eliminates the need for manual conversions, reducing the potential for error and speeding up the calibration process, directly contributing to the precision and safety of aircraft operations.
