This equipment can only be used to test the FT range of analogue output wind sensors.
Use a bench power supply unit, 20-30 VDC (6A), Rechargeable Battery or +24 VDC Laptop charger.
The sensor current loops can be measured using an ammeter, voltmeter or oscilloscope.
Acu-Vis software will run on Window XP, Vista or Windows 7 computers.

CHANGING SETTINGS
Settings can be saved in a log file along with a time and date stamp. Making it easy to keep a record of which settings
are applied to every sensor.
Depending on the sensor version, different settings can also be changed.
 The options that are configurable can be selected and the “Update Settings” button used to apply these
settings to the sensor.
 It is also possible to return the sensor to its original settings using the “Factory Defaults” button.
SEEING THE SENSOR WORK
By clicking on the “Wind Display” tab, you can visualise the real time air flow that the sensor is calculating
By clicking on the “Loop Test” tab, you can step the analogue electronics and current loop outputs through a test
routine. This sets the outputs to fixed values that can then be measured allowing you to check their accuracy.
The Acu-Test (Analogue) pack is available from sales@fttech.co.uk
