Fuzz Suppression Systems
While widely used, and very effective, the electric chip detector is subject to nuisance indications due to fine, non-failure related debris. Vibro-Meter offers the most advanced state-of-the-art "fuzz suppression" system available on today's market. The Vibro-Meter Auto-Fault® Digital Pulsed Chip Detector System discharges energy to the ECD gap. Small nuisance/non failure related debris is removed by the energy. Larger failure related particles cannot be removed indicating the presence of significant debris. In the latter case a helicopter pilot would get a chip light indication in the cockpit.
Vibro-Meter's Auto-Fault® system is unlike older capacitor based systems. The Auto-Fault® discharges a pre-determined number of voltage into the ECD gap. The digital pulses are calibrated to clear particles of a specific cross section. Some systems also interface with today's advanced health monitoring systems. The Auto-Fault® also uses a patented built-in test circuit to test the aircraft wiring as well as the electronics and chip detectors. The test circuit requires no additional wiring. Vibro-Meter's Auto-Fault® Digital Pulsed Chip Detector System has been selected for many of today's modern aircraft.
