Expanding Equipment And Staff To Accommodate Radar
Services
Mid-Continent Instruments has added weather radar capabilities,
including calibration, overhaul, repair and exchange. The avionics
company is expanding its equipment and employees to incorporate the
additional services.
ART 2000
Mid-Continent Instruments is aggressively growing its avionics
repair capabilities and offering its customers factory-level
support on legacy equipment, beginning with Bendix/King radars -
the receiver and transmitter in the RDR 2000 and RDR 2100 digital
weather radar systems (the ART 2000 and ART 2100 respectively). The
capability for RDS series weather sensors, receivers and
transmitters for the RDS81, -82, -84 and -86 solid-state weather
radar systems will follow.
The company's advanced environmental chamber can test the ART
2000/2100 to temperatures between -55C and +77C.
Mid-Continent's vacuum chamber tests radars at altitude ranges
between -1,000 feet and 55,000 feet, minimizing the risk of RF
arcing. Typical testing performed without a vacuum chamber cannot
detect the RF arcing that can occur at higher altitudes.
Tom Genovese, Mid-Continent Instruments director of sales, said,
"Adding this service provides our customers with another source for
repairs featuring competitive pricing and the convenience of fast
turn times. We have purchased the test equipment and hired
experienced, dedicated radar technicians. Exchange units are in
stock, ready to ship the same day an order is placed."
