• Integrated CPU and Display: The device incorporates an integrated central processing unit and display, which simplifies operation and on-site work.
• Compatibility: Optimized for use specifically with Intercomp AC100™ Jack Weigh kits, but can also work with other compatible Intercomp weighing instruments.
• Aerospace Applications: Supports weighing of the most diverse aircraft types, including eVTOL developments, as well as low and high capacity platform and jack weighing systems.
• Data Handling: Enables fast recording, processing, and display of weight data, assisting in accurate weight and balance calculation.
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand the rigors of airport and hangar environments, ensuring long-term reliability.

Technical Specifications

The table below details the key technical parameters of the RFX® Wireless AC100™ CPU that guarantee precise and efficient operation.

Detailed Application Areas

The versatility of the RFX® Wireless AC100™ CPU allows for its wide application in the aerospace sector:

1. Jack Weigh Systems Integration

When paired with jack weighing systems, the AC100™ CPU offers an ideal solution for weighing aircraft in raised positions. The wireless connection allows the operator to read precise wheel weights from a safe distance without having to be under the wings or fuselage. This is critically important for large, heavy aircraft where cable routing and management would be extremely cumbersome.

2. Support for Weight & Balance (W&B) Calculations

In modern aviation, weight and balance calculation is not just an option, but a strict safety requirement. The AC100™ CPU directly accepts data arriving from four (or more) measurement points and instantly calculates the total weight and the position of the center of gravity (CG) based on pre-entered aircraft configurations (e.g., fuel, passenger, and cargo placement). This drastically reduces the potential for errors from manual calculations.

3. Management of Different Capacity Platforms

Although the name AC100™ may suggest jack scales, the RFX® system is generally scalable. The CPU is capable of handling different capacity platform scales offered by Intercomp, including:

• Low-Profile Low Capacity Aircraft Scales: For smaller, lighter aircraft.
• Low-Profile Mid Capacity Aircraft Scales: For medium-sized, commonly used aircraft.
• Low-Profile High Capacity Aircraft Scales: For larger cargo or passenger aircraft.
• High-Capacity Aircraft Scales: For precise weighing of the heaviest aircraft.

4. Military and Special Applications

Due to the reliability of the RFX® technology, the system is also excellently applicable in military environments. Wireless operation can be advantageous in rapid deployment situations where traditional wired systems cannot be used. It supports the specific weighing requirements of military aircraft.

Software and Accessories Ecosystem

The AC100™ CPU is part of Intercomp's broader software and accessory ecosystem, which further increases the value of the system:

• ACWeigh™ Software: Although the AC100™ can operate independently, for data archiving and more detailed analysis, integration with the ACWeigh™ software is recommended. This allows for the digital management of measurement logs.
• iACWeigh™: Mobile application-based solutions that further extend wireless accessibility to smartphones or tablets.
• Calibration Systems: To maintain system accuracy, Intercomp offers CSM™ Manual Test Stands and CSA™ Automatic Test Stands, with which regular calibration of the CPU and the connected load cells can be performed.

Summary

The RFX® Wireless AC100™ Aircraft Weighing CPU is a modern, wireless central unit that revolutionizes the process of weighing and balancing aircraft. By eliminating cables, featuring a robust RFX® connection, and integrated processing capability, this CPU ensures the highest level of accuracy and safety during airport operations. It is the ideal choice for any professional seeking a reliable, fast, and flexible weighing solution for aircraft operations.
