Cable tester proves to save cost and improve product quality The Synor 1202 Cable Tester purchased from by Control Systems Services of Newport, to validate complex 6-position rotary switch assemblies with 242 external pin connections for the rail industry, has proved to be a great success. In selecting the components for the switch automatic test system, the system design house first chose the Synor unit because it had sufficient configurability to meet initial needs, as well as being adaptable for testing other switch functions.  “Our customer has confirmed that the automatic test system has vastly reduced the time to test and repair their switches,” says CSS managing director Neil Whatley, who also said that the reports generated by the comprehensive resistance analysis software developed by CSS, have resulted in high end-user confidence in switch performance. “The repeatability of the lengthy switch test procedures has been greatly improved,” he adds. |
The test management software, developed by CSS, gives step by step instructions to the test station operator, that advise all actions required during the switch test procedure. The application also provides statistical analysis of the results of multiple tests. During a demonstration of the Synor tester, the end-user of the switches being tested was so impressed that a duplicate system was ordered for use by their maintenance technicians. This means that in the future the switches can quickly be eliminated or identified as the source of a system malfunction. “The automatic test system specifically identifies failed contacts,” Neil explains, “therefore the end user’s maintenance technicians are often able to repair the switches, without the need to return them to the manufacturer.” For further information & reader
