The portable TES Mk3 Electronic Decelerometer is designed for simplicity 
of installation and operation. The capabilities and operational ease of the device surpass those of any other portable meter on the market. 

Originally developed for Transport Canada, this latest generation of TES Instruments friction devices is approved by TC for use in Canada and by the FAA for use in the USA.

Utilizing the latest high-speed microprocessor technology, low power consumption, a wide operating temperature range and a built-in self-test feature, accurate results and high reliability are achieved.

• Tactile switches with indicators for selecting operations on removable keyboard/display

• Allows switching of ABS during friction testing

• Removes peaking due to initial and final vehicle pitching

• Measures true vehicle deceleration

• Provides hardcopy printout of up to 99 decelerations plus calculated averages or thirds

• Flags values 10% below average and disregards tests cancelled manually or automatically

• Can be interfaced to TracrII for automatic transmission of data

          An internal printer’s hardcopy results of the friction tests can include:

• Date and time

• Stop number

• Deceleration rate of each stop

• Average deceleration or runway thirds

• Highlighting of values deviating from the average

• Airport name

• Runway ID

• Operator ID

A 32 character liquid crystal display with back-lighting displays the test results and various status messages to the operator even during night time operation. The display can be removed from the Mk3 chassis to be placed in any convenient location to afford an unobstructed view.
