Advanced Differential Leak Testing
Building on the success of the proven FCS510 and advanced FCO792; the FCS610 is the latest generation of Furness Controls appliance case and combustion chamber soundness test instrument. Designed to comply with harmonised standards for the testing of Gas/Oil based Boiler systems, the FCS610 benefits form the advanced features of the FCO792 with the addition of ultra-low-pressure regulation required for these stringent tests.
-
Performance
Rapid test times with globally renowned accuracy levels at ultra-low pressures
-
Communications
PROFINET and EtherNet/IP allows easy connection to a PLC; additional communication options include RS232, RS485, LAN (serial over TCP/IP) and USB
-
Integration
Pnuematic outputs and Digital I/O ensure that these production line testers can integrate with many jig setups
-
Flexible options
The ultra-low automatic pressure regulation ensures that both case and combustion chambers can be tested with a single instrument
-
Touchscreen
The control interface for the device is a generously-sized colour capacitive touch screen display. It features intuitive menu navigation for programming and provides many display modes, including operational status and instantaneous graphical results during testing
-
Data logger
The built-in datalogger stores test results locally for easy recall or export. Results can be analysed on-device using the high clarity display, or exported via USB memory stick for analysis on PC. An essential addition where safety critical testing is employed
Intuitive & fast touchscreen display
- Clear numerical values, detailed graphing and easy-touch button
- Quickly choose between 300 configurable products, each with up to 16 customisable steps
- Data Logger function allows you to browse and export all of the data from your last 1,000,000 product tests
- Change settings and configure tests quickly and easily with the intuitive icon-based menu system
These flow testers offer a perfect platform to reduce testing station costs and complexity by negating the requirement for a PLC altogether. Through the use of electrical I/O and pneumatic outputs, the instruments themselves can control the entire test station. Integration of barcode scanning, label printing and jig lockout can ensure true no-fault-forward production.
Communications
- User-programmable electrical I/O connectors
- User-programmable pneumatic Outputs
- Modern industrial communication interfaces such as PROFINET and EtherNet/IP
- Other communication modes such as RS232, RS485, USB and standard TCP/IP over Ethernet
Theory
Case Integrity testing is carried out by introducing air into the flue outlet at a specific and regulated pressure and the resultant flow of air must be less than a specified limit dependant on the internal volume of the device. Missing or damaged case seals will result in excessive air flow and a fail result from the test. Correctly fitted and complete seals will restrict the air flow to below the specified limit and give a pass result.
The FCS610 has 300 product and 300 test memory capacities which allows variant specific tests to be programmed for each model in your range. The built-in barcode reader support and ability to store result data provides complete traceability against individually serialised products. The barcode reader input can be programmed by the user to demand product selection, serial number and even User ID before commencing a test. Combustion soundness testing is typically conducted using the same principles as the case integrity but at a higher pressure, not a problem for the FCS610 with its automatic pressure regulator and test specific rate control.
