LTC – Lamp Time Control

Description
Specifications

LTC measures the response time with which the system, both hardware and software of any manufacturer or type, communicates to the operators the “burnt” lamp failure.

LTC MASTER station is equipped with a device that during the burned lamp test detects the acoustic signal with a microphone. In that precise moment the recording stops and LTC MASTER issues the report. The survey has a precision from 1 to 2 milliseconds with certification by an authorized Body. At the end of the procedure LTC prints out a report. The report certificates the surveyed timings in milliseconds and the instrument serial number, that cannot be modified.

LTC components are integrated and protected in housings that are purpose-built and placed inside the special aeronautical suitcase. This container is equipped with handles and safety locking system: the use of the measurement instrument does not require screws or the opening of fastening mechanisms that could be accidentally dispersed onto the ground.
