ST500 Dual Pulse Simulator
The ST500 Dual Pulse Simulator is an industry-tested pulse signal generator. Used widely in the oil and gas industry and sold across the world, it has an excellent track record for reliability. The ST500 is the perfect tool for measuring fiscally accurate pulse generation. It contains variable phase for the dual outputs, a front-facing BNC TTL outputs for quick connection to equipment (e.g. frequency counters) and can fail either pulse train, or fail a set ratio of pulses.
If you wish to verify the accurate pulse outing of an instrument, the instrument doesn’t necessarily have to be a flow computer. At Swinton Technology we regularly use the ST500 to test metering computer systems for our projects prior to shipment.
Designed to operate on-site as well as the workshop, the ST500 offers a full set of leads to allow connection to almost any terminals. The selection of a differential or current pedestal output will mean that almost all equipment will receive pulses from this unit.
The units come with the option of a UKAS certification and can be powered from both an internal rechargeable battery and the mains via an AC-DC adaptor.
History of the ST500
The ST500 was originated from the H212 Dual Pulse Generator, originally manufactured by Spektra Tek back in the 1970’s. The generator was much larger than the ST500 and came with a leather carrying case which proved very useful for metering technicians on the move. They were sold globally by Spektra Tek within the oil and gas industry and some of them may even still be in use today.
Following on from the legacy of the H212 Dual Pulse Generator, Swinton Technology began offering the ST500 Dual Pulse Simulator as a modern day equivalent, to meet the continued need for an extremely reliable, industry-tested dual pulse simulator. The ST500 has now been used to support the testing of fiscally accurate equipment (such as flow computers) for over 10 years.
