Calibration Technology Air Data Test Set Model CPA8001 Data Sheet CPA8001 mensor Model CPA8001 - Air Data Test Set Applications ■ Altitude / vertical air speed calibration ■ Air speed calibration ■ Calibration of air data computers ■ Military, commercial, helicopter ■ Research and development laboratories Features ■ Uncertainty: ± 2.5 ft, ± 0.06 knots ■ RVSM Compliant ■ Ps/Qc or Ps/Pt removable transducer ■ One year calibration interval ■ Two year warranty ■ Automated zeroing function Description Application The CPA8001 Air Data Test Set (ADTS) is an air data controller designed for automated calibration and testing of altimeters, rate of climb indicators, airspeed indicators and air data computers. User Interface The high definition color touch screen and intuitive interface provides for simultaneous or asynchronous control of altitude/ altitude-rate, and/or airspeed/airspeed-rate. Entry of set points and system setting becomes second nature through the easy to understand buttons and menus. In addition, the user programmable sequence function provides storage and automated control of standard test procedures. Remote Operation Remote operation, via IEEE-488.2 (GPIB), Ethernet, RS232 or USB and command set emulation of non-Mensor ADTS devices makes the CPA8001 a valuable “drop-in” asset that can be used in production or calibration of air data instruments. Sensors & Control A dual (Ps/Pt or Ps/Qc) removable / interchangeable sensor is available, with an accuracy of 0.009% IS-50*. The requirements of RVSM specification are achieved with either sensor. User specified ranges are available for military, commercial or helicopter applications. The automated zeroing function adds another high accuracy absolute sensor within an automated zeroing system. This insures a high level of accuracy by automatically adjusting the zero for both channels. The percent of reading specification plus a proprietary control valve regulator, provides accurate, and stable control. Service & Calibration The CPA8001 can be supplied with an external “Calibration Sled” for remote calibration outside of the installed unit. Combined with Mensor’s world class service and support, the CPA8001 is the best solution to air data calibration applications. * See page 3 “Specifications” Data Sheet CPA8001 • PN 0019650001A • 01/2017 Page; 1 of 2

(1) 0.009% IS-50 (InteMiScale-50) = 0.009% of reading from 100% FS to 50% FS and 0.009% of 50% FS from 0% to 50% FS for 365 days. (2) Measurement Uncertainty (k=2) includes hysteresis, linearity, repeatability, reference standard, drift and temperature effects over the calibrated range for the calibration interval specified, with periodic re-zeroing

Key Features Accuracy & Stability The Total Uncertainty specification for a standard CPA8001 falls well within the uncertainty required for RVSM. In addition, the patented Needle Valve Regulator provides a steady and precise pressure control output that simulates Altitude / Altitude Rate and Airspeed / Airspeed Rate into large volumes. Removable / Interchangeable Sensors Emulation / Drop-in Compatibility The CPA8001 remote communication software can receive and understand commands intended for other ADTS units, including the Mensor 8201 and 8205. This provides drop-in emulation of aging or...

Setup Screens The CPA8001 setup screens provide a portal into the configuration of every aspect of the Air Data Test Set’s operating environment. The tab driven menu provides easy access to the settings for the general instrument functions, the remote communication settings, password protected calibration functions, programming and the settings for the Ps, Pt and Qc channels. Access to all of these areas is controlled via a user configured password hierarchy. General Settings ■ Mode ■ Language ■ Brightness ■ Volume ■ Sys.
