Firing Ciruits Offers Testing Systems For 42V Batteries


SHELTON, CT/April 11, 2002 - Digatron Firing Circuits, a manufacturer of battery test and formation products, offers multiple test systems for 42V batteries, likely to become the standard for automobile electrical systems. The charge/discharge (CDU) product line has been expanded to include modules with output of 30, 50, 100, and 150 amperes (higher peak currents available) at voltages up to 60V, providing a wide range of testing functionality for these future systems.

As consumers continue to demand more creature comforts, safety features, and security systems in their automobiles, the standard 12V electrical system is reaching its limits. One possible solution currently under investigation by many large auto manufacturers is a 42V system, which would provide the necessary power without increasing the size and weight of the various components. These systems are still in their infancy, however, and comprehensive and reliable testing tools are required to ensure that they are safe and functional before any further investments of time and money are made.

Firing Circuits 42V testing systems operate with the company's BTS 600 PC-based software. It offers both the sophistication to conduct complex testing procedures and the simplicity to be effectively used by employees of practically any expertise level, all in familiar Windows program format. Features of the software include: flexibility in test programming and scheduling, preset of commonly-used test sequences to a procedures list that can be quickly called up for future use, cycle-in-cycle functions, networking capability, and powerful data-mining and graphics production.

As with all of Firing Circuits' products, CDU systems come with extensive after-sale support and service, including product seminars, repairs, spare parts service, calibration, and tech support.

Digatron Firing Circuits is an industry leader in the production of battery formation and testing equipment essential to the automotive, material handling, telecommunication, defense, consumer electronics, aviation, and aerospace industries. The company also provides training and technical support services to clients worldwide. With global headquarters in Germany, the company operates a North American division based out of Shelton, Conn.
