Latest Applications

Avionics Systems

BI hand-held test equipment is trusted across the UK to help engineers locate faults within aircraft avionic systems, such as radios, radio compasses, and complex navigation systems. The TX Ranger allows engineers to store old trace data, allowing them to compare it with new trace data, for a more efficient fault location process.

Low-Voltage Fault Location

Using our 600 Volt-rated blocking filter, engineers can identify low-voltage fault locations in street lighting, distribution cabinets, etc. If it is a metallic cable with two or more conductors the BI range of testers may be used for fault location on de-energized cables, across many different industries from Telecoms to lift manufacturers.

The Bullet Train

In addition to inventory management, the FaultCastor is successfully used to locate faults on the Bullet Train's communication cables. The FaultCastor enables engineers to identify which section of the train the fault has occurred, thereby eliminating the need to break down the train into individual carriages.
