Description
The FCU 2000 Series Fluid Control Unit
is the second generation of diagnostic equipment for measuring
and controlling contamination in hydraulic and lubrication
systems.
Online
Measurement
A key advantage of the FCU is that it allows
the user to measure changes in contamination instantaneously
as they occur. The unit continuously detects solid particles
and displays the results in cleanliness classes according
to ISO 4406, NAS 1638 or SAE AS 4059 standards.
Measurements automatically stored in memory
can be used to print tabular and graphic reports in a
wide variety of formats. Although extensive functions
for data recording and documentation are available, clear
built-in menus make it easy for a user to develop highly
informative reports with minimal training.
PC
Capability
For many applications, the built-in printer
will produce the necessary reports. In addition, data
can be transmitted to a PC via an RS232C interface, providing
the user with flexibility in analysis with the FCUDESK
software package, or with standard packages like LOTUS
1-2-3 or MS-EXCEL.
Contamination
Control
By means of control software, the user
can program the FCU to activate an auxiliary filtration
unit through built-in relays when contamination reaches
a specified maximum level. This makes it possible to control
system cleanliness reliably and automatically. The FCU
also can be programmed to de-activate an off-line unit
when contamination reaches a preset target level, an especially
useful feature in flushing operations.
