In some ways they are do have an advantage, they are small and robust and are totally standalone, they cover all three protocols ( ISO,PWM and VPW ). However they do not have the same capability as software based systems and are specifically aimed at fault diagnosis, DTC retrieval etc ( see our shop for a more detailed description).

Be certain that tools are properly grounded. If you use power machinery often a ground-fault interrupt outlet is a good safety measure. This inexpensive device prevents a sustained electrical shock.

OBD, or On Board Diagnostics, is a system used on automobiles to monitor some components and to detect malfunction. If some component is not functioning properly, information about the system is stored in an on-board computer so it can be recovered later by the service technician. OBD-II is the second and the most current version of this technology.

XL Pro 6 and XL Pro 7 support UMPC's (Ultra Mobile Personal Computers) but we do not support Pocket PC's. We stopped supporting Pocket PC's and other hand held devices several years ago. Surveys indicate that most inspectors who use a hand held or Pocket PC later switch to a larger format after a very short time (usually within six months) because the display screens and are too small to be practical and data entry is very time consuming.

Having a hand-held CB in addition to a vehicle-mount unit can be very useful for when someone gets out and still needs communication back to the vehicle or for winching / recovery and checkpoint operations.

No, but Microsoft "PocketPC 2003" powered handheld computers are quite capable of emulating Nintendo's Gameboy & Gameboy Advance and some early PC titles.

No. Hand-held power planers are designed for rough carpentry work and cannot be adjusted to the fine tolerances necessary for instrument making.

Yes, but it depends on the intercom model, the radio model, and a few other factors as to how this can be done. Please contact Sigtronics technical staff with the details of your installation and we can provide instructions.

Because even the smallest DR? model has three times the power of most hand-helds, it will mow tall weeds and grass that would hopelessly bog down hand-held trimmers. With its front-mounted Mow-Ball Support, the DR? is also able to mow at a consistent height above the ground, for a smoother, cleaner cut than hand-helds. Plus, the big wheels on the DR? enable you to mow in a straight swath as you comfortably walk behind.

Manufacturing operations are ISO 9001- or 9002-certified to ensure lasting quality from initial design and development through production and service. A link to download a copy of the certificate is located on the "ABOUT US" area of the site.

Our handheld transmitters are designed for the rough treatment experienced in tough industrial applications. They are the toughest in the industry. They are also designed against the dirt, grime and soot that are common in an industrial work place and are considered to be the most durable transmitters in our industry.

Of course I’m biased, but the Merlin is by far the lightest, and I think the most elegant and functional of the lot. It has the best (patented) gimbal, the most precise and accessible trim controls, and is by far the most stable. Rotational inertia increases by the square of the distance between the masses, and the Merlin has the greatest separation between its counterweights.

No, we do not carry any hand held equipment, only panel-mounted avionics. We find that the hand held units become obsolete too quickly, if only in the mind of the marketplace.

Steritool hand tools should be stored in stainless steel tool boxes or trays. Alternatively, autoclaveable plastic trays can be used. It is essential that stainless steel tools are not stored or allowed to come in contact with carbon steel tools, equipment, tool boxes, or trays. If they do, ferrous contamination occur and passivation will be necessary.

OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and this is the second generation of this technology. Starting in 1996, all vehicles sold in the United States were required to include this technology. It requires a computer on board the vehicle that monitors the engine and power train systems and logs any problems that could cause the vehicle's emissions to increase. A failed OBD-II test means that there is a problem with the vehicle.

OBD stands for "on-board diagnos?tics," a computer-based system built into all model year (MY) 1996 and newer light-duty cars and trucks. OBD monitors the performance of some of the engines' major compo?nents, including individual emis?sion controls. The system provides owners with an early warning of malfunctions by way of a dashboard "Check Engine" light (also known as a Malfunction Indicator Light or MIL, for short).

Yes. This technology is "electronic and information technology" covered by section 508 and the Access Board's standards. Most hand held devices currently fall in the category of "self contained closed products." (See section 1194.25 of the Access Board's standards). As technology advances, hand held devices may fall into other categories as well.
