that have outdated test instrumentation. Some were installed in the 1960s. Prime Controls’ new TestAlert system is designed to retrofit older leak testers and bring them up to date with enhanced data readout and reporting capabilities. The basic TestAlert system includes an MD-30 control module, 2 air pressure sensors, a resolver to sync the system to the tester machine, and a touch screen control panel.
The colorful touch screen display provides a user-friendly graphic interface with screens for home, set up, diagnostics, and running test data by pocket. The running test data screen shows the absolute leak readings of each pocket in PSI, and each pocket can be highlighted to show additional test data.
The screen can also display a bar graph of all the pockets’ accumulated test data to show emerging trends. The control system tracks the history of each tester pocket.
