wireless technology. This technology and the

ADTS550F

(ADTS552F, ADTS553F, ADTS554F)

The ADTS550F, supplied with an ADTS Touch, is a family
of portable, self-contained pitot static testers, with
a large pitot static volume capability for use on an
extensive range of aircraft. With the option of a two,
three or four channel model, the ADTS550 is ideal for
most light to wide body passenger and freight aircraft.
Because business needs change such as the addition
of new aircraft to the fl eet, the ADTS550F family can be
retrospectively upgraded by GE.

To ensure an accuracy that is suitable for RVSM
(reduced separation minimum) validation, the new
ADTS550F incorporates advanced Druck TERPS (trench
etched resonant pressure sensor) technology.

A rechargeable battery pack enables up to eight hours
of continuous ADTS Touch wireless use. The battery can
be charged by the ADTS Touch when connected to the
test set, by power cable, or by an optional desk charger.

As an alternative, the ADTS Touch can be used as a
conventional wired hand terminal, with or without a
battery pack, by attaching a supplied cable, or as a local
user interface by docking the hand terminal onto the
ADTS552F.

A large, easy-to-read display in pressure or aeronautical
units and swipe navigation, with intuitive icons that
are logical and easy to remember, allow you to quickly
scroll through available tasks. The ability to set “aircraft
safety limits,” enable “auto leak recovery” and save or
recall aircraft test sequences make the ADTS Touch an
easy-to-use hand terminal. Its multi-language selection
further enhances the ADTS Touch’s usability.

For the more demanding wireless application, such
as a large aircraft outside of a hanger (nothing for the
wireless signal to bounce off), the ADTS Touch-ER offers
a solution. The ADTS Touch-ER extends the wireless
range, by the use of a fi xed external antenna, or by
using the supplied window attach antenna.

To satisfy the demand for a smooth rate of change into
a high pitot static volume, the ADTS550F uses Druck
proportional control technology coupled with a large
pump capacity.

**Due to individual country radio licence requirements, Bluetooth® wireless
technology may not be available in some countries. An up-to-date list of

ADTS552F

ADTS554F

The ADTS552F, supplied with an ADTS Touch, is a
portable, self-contained two-channel pitot static tester.
The ADTS552F is designed to be connected to the
aircraft Ps and Pt ports via hoses to leak check and
accurately control pressures that simulate altitude,
airspeed and rate of climb. The ADTS552F can be
retrospectively upgraded by GE to an ADTS553F or
ADTS554F.

ADTS553F

The ADTS553F, supplied with an ADTS Touch, is a
portable, self-contained three-channel pitot static tester.
The ADTS553F has the same two-channel capability
as the ADTS552F with the addition of a third pressure
controller to connect to an aircraft Ps2 and simulates
”angle of attack” (AOA). The ADTS553F can also be used
as two-channel pitot static tester by selection in the
set up menu on the ADTS Touch. The ADTS553F can be
retrospectively upgraded by GE to an ADTS554F.

The ADTS554F, supplied with an ADTS Touch, is a multi­purpose 4-channel portable, self-contained pitot static
tester.

By selection in the set up menu on the ADTS Touch, the
ADTS554F:

• Operates as a two-channel pitot static tester with the
same capability as the ADTS552F

• Operates as a three-channel pitot static tester with
the same capability as the ADTS553F.

• Operates as 2 independent two-channel pitot static
testers for simultaneous testing of 2 pitot static
systems.
