- Description
- The product is an Electronic Test Unit that is a simulator for a subsea production system. The kit consists of a test laptop and a number of other units such as cables, switches, leads and plugs. A standard software application is installed on the test laptop which is then connected, via the elements that make up the unit, to the system under test. The Electronic Test Unit will then provide simulation of subsea components and instrumentation to prove that the system under test operates as designed such as pressure and temperature sensors. The test unit is packed in a plastic injection-moulded case that provides a high level of protection.
