Company Will Add Jobs To Service Legacy Equipment
Mid-Continent Instruments announces the addition of weather
radar capabilities, including calibration, overhaul, repair and
exchange. The instruments company is expanding its equipment and
employees to incorporate the additional services.
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 -55°C and +77°C.
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.”
