ID5 Circuit Board
Upgrades the circuit board of the QT210F to a more modern design.
Compatible
- Mechanically and electrically compatible with original circuit board.
- "Drop In" replacement / upgrade. No wiring or operational changes.
- The same circuit board and program can be used for AC or DC, single or twin channel systems. The same program can be used for single and dual channel machines; since empty cycles are not counted the unused channel has no effect on the operation.
Reliable
- Noise Immune - 80% of 3rd party faulty boards sent to us from customers failed due to electrical noise spikes, present in many factory environments.
- Improved power supply - The 24V (valve and relay) power supply is now regulated, providing more consistent operation over a wider supply voltage range. This reduces coil heating and extends component life.
- Increased pressurization range - This reduces unnecessary rejects due to over-pressurization of the bottles.
- Improved test algorithm Auto-tuning information is averaged over the last 5 good bottles, instead of a single "rogue bottle" being able to cause rejects for the next few cycles.
Easy to Use
- Improved bottle counting. The number failed count now does not count empty cycles. Only
cycles that achieved a significant pressurization are counted. - Several electronic adjustments automated or eliminated:
- The transducer zero trimmers have been replaced by software auto-zeroing. When the unit is powered up, the transducer is automatically zeroed. This eliminates long-term drift as well as eliminating a very common setting error. It also eliminates a failure mode where the unit could pass bottles with very large holes due to a permanent pressure offset.
- Display contrast control eliminated - replaced by an automatic circuit. A significant number of boards sent back for repair have nothing wrong with them, except thatthe display contrast is turned off!
- The test time and sensitivity adjustments are retained and adjusted in the usual way.
- More user friendly display format
- Leading zeros suppressed - 121 bottles not 00000121 bottles.
- Test results for both channels displayed together side by side
- This allows easy monitoring of test results without continual switching backwards and forwards to see both results before the next test.
New Design
- Industry standard proven components used throughout, all parts in full production by their manufacturers.
- High Accuracy Leakage Measurement - Measurement Errors are minimized through the use of a sensitive pressure transducer with a low noise amplifier and high-speed, high-resolution analog to digital converter.
