561 DC1V1
The technology used in this meter has been developed by the Fire Research & Development group of
the Centre for Forest Tree Technology (Department of Sustainability & Environment) in conjunction with
the School of Engineering, Federation University. The major collaborators on this project were Kevin
Tolhurst (CFTT, DCNR), Graeme Hood (Federation University), Andrew Wilson (DCNR) and Matt Fenwick.
Wiltronics has made significant changes to the meters performance and accuracy.
This has been achieved by upgrading hardware and software including
• A New Microprocessor
• New Fuel Test Cell [Fuel Cell Passed or Fuel Cell Requires Cleaning]
• Self Test Including Fuel Cell Test On Start Up
• Introduction Of Lab-Mode
• Increased Accuracy For Both Field And Lab Modes
• Improving Read Times To 10 Seconds For Field Mode And 32 Seconds For Lab-Modes
• And More.
An effort has been made to maintain the user interface so that users can move between old & new models
of the meter without any significant operational change or training.
