Faultracker
Description
The FTR Faultracker is a compact recording device which can be connected to up to 16 points in an electrical system. Any voltage from 12v to 240v can be connected. The FTR monitors the on/off status of each input. Any voltage above 6v is considered to be ON. An LED indicator on the front panel shows the status of each input. When set to logging, the FTR will log any and all 'events'. An event being the change of status of any input. Each event is logged strictly in the order it occurred with a date/time stamp. When logging is completed, the events can be stepped through one at a time so that cause/effect sequences can be analysed.
This means that faults which cause significant disruption and are very difficult to track can be stepped through in great detail, even if the sequence involved events that are separated by only milliseconds.
Also, many problem situations are intermittent. The FTR can be left logging for hours or days or weeks until the fault occurs. After the event, the recording can be analysed and the fault sequence tracked in detail, complete with date and time stamps.
Key Points
- Monitors up to 16 locations simultaneously
- Records exactly what happens within millisecond accuracy
- Enables fault origin to be located easily and quickly
- Ideal for those intermittent faults
- Can be set to monitor for extended periods, and to trigger logging for specific input conditions
- Logging up to 32,000 events.
- RS232 interface for download to PC
- Extensive view and analysis modes on the PC.
- Step though complex sequences on step at a time.
- Any input from 12v to 240v can be connected.
