Thermal Sensor Testing:
H239 Temperature System Tester Heater Probes
H394 TEMPCAL® TESTER

Precision Testing For: Thermal Switches, Chromel®-Alumel® Thermocouples, and Continuous-Wire Fire Detection Systems

On the flightline or in the hangar, HowellÂ's microprocessor-controlled TEMPCAL® Tester provides repeatable, accurate testing of todayÂ's thermal sensors.

The H394R TEMPCAL® Tester checks thermocouples, thermal switches, and continuous-wire fire detection systems using HowellÂ's patented heater probes.

This system provides rapid heat rise and stabilization. Typically, an 800 °F thermal switch can be heated in five minutes to test temperature. Once the probe is heated, additional switches can be checked rapidly.

Harnesses containing up to twelve thermocouples can be tested by using the BH361 series junction box. The H394R monitors the average probe temperature and the average thermocouple temperature.

Thermal switches are tested by using a customer-supplied ohmmeter to detect switch actuation at the proper test temperature.

Clamp-type probes are used to test continuous-wire fire detection systems such as those manufactured by Walter Kidde and Systron Donner. These systems are checked by comparing the operation of the normal indicating device (indicator, lamp, alarm, etc.) with the heater probe temperature display on the H394R.
