Digital Instruments Design Principles
- Low power source consumption and power source flexibility: Many Altronic digital instruments are designed to operate on very small amounts of power, often supplied by the engine ignition system. This permits instrument operation at all times, particularly during the critical start-up phase. Altronic offers the most comprehensive line of digital instrumentation powered directly from the most comprehensive line of digital instrumentation powered directly from capacitor discharge (CD) ignition systems.
- Hazardous area design: Non-incendive, non-arcing intrinsically safe instruments are offered for operation in hazardous areas. Innovative design techniques render these instruments safe for use in such areas without the need for or expense associated with explosion proof enclosures or purging systems.
- Reliability and noise immunity: Often applied in areas exposed to high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI), and radio-frequency interference (RFI), Altronic instruments are engineered and constructed to offer reliable, accurate service in high noise areas.
- Corrosion resistance: Corrosion-resistant enclosures and finishes, gasketed seals, stainless-steel hardware, and conformally-coated printed circuit board assemblies insure continued service in harsh operating environments.
