OTEK Corp to supply digital bargraph indicators for Nuclear Power Plant in California

2009-09-01T11:17:00.000-07:00

August 2009: Otek Corporation announces that it will supply state-of-the-art digital bargraph indicators for Southern California Edison’s San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). The digital bargraphs will replace nearly 750 analog meters in the control rooms as well as the simulator of Units 2&3.

To allow for the use of existing panel cutouts, Otek designed a new instrument housing, which meets the EPRI TR102323 Rev.3 Guidelines for EMI/RFI. Other customized features include the display board and USB Serial I/O. For the motherboard, Otek relied on its proven and qualified design as used in the HI-Q Series automatic tricolor bargraphs. The change-out at SONGS is scheduled to be completed by December 2011.

The meters will be supplied under contract with Otek’s 10CFR50 Appendix B Quality Assurance Program partner, NLI, Inc. in Fort Worth, TX.

Otek Corporation is a privately owned company located in Tucson, AZ. The company designs and manufactures precision process control instruments.

OTEK Corporation adds Florida Power & Light, St. Lucie station, to the list of Nuclear Power Plants in the US that utilize state-of-the-art digital bargraphs in the control room in lieu of analog meters. The company recently completed the second supply phase covering several hundred custom bargraphs model HI-Q2000. This model was specifically designed to replace the Versatile VM2000 series instruments. The initial phase for an equal number of units was consummated in 2004.

To better meet the needs of its Nuclear customer base, Otek recently introduced a comprehensive line of loop-powered indicators/controllers. See our Replacement Chart intended to replace "older" technology analog and electronic meters. Also, a selection of AC signal powered instruments will be available soon.

OTEK Corp monitors critical data on Raytheon's "Phalanx" Close-In Weapon System

Nearly (3) three years ago, the Raytheon Missle Systems in Tucson approached OTEK to develop a high-performance seven-segment, five-digit remote display for use in the front panel instrument assembly of the "Phalanx" Close-In Weapon System's local control station. Special Requirements included, but were not limited to, ACSII coded 0-9 and modified alpha and DP characters, and a 9600 baud rate. General specifications also called for EMI/RFI shielding to MIL-standards and numerous environmental requirements such as extreme operating temperatures, shock and vibration, and low barometric pressure.

OTEK accepted the challenge and submitted prototypes, the final version of which was approved by Raytheon in late 2005 with the first supplier contract issued in early 2006. The actual application of this custom remote display for the "Phalanx" Missle System provides the control and display of critical radar parameters and data such as range and angle of the incoming threat, and mount position. "Phalanx" is the most widely used ship self-defense system in the world and is found in the fleets of (24) Navies.

OTEK Corp supplies Lockheed Martin with custom instrument for weapon simulator system

2009-05-02T13:04:00.000-07:00

In December of 2005, Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training & Support operation in Orlando, FL contacted OTEK for the development of a custom bargraph indicator for use in a weapon simulator system, to provide feedback on ammunition availability.

The indicator needed to have 48 multi-color LED segments, no digital display, horizontal or vertical mount and special scale plate. OTEK used its model HI-QSLIM2 as base for the design concept. Exposure to frequent vibration also necessitated a change to the internal board connection.

Following the acceptance and approval of the first article by Lockheed Martin in 2Q 2006, OTEK was awarded the initial contract and continues to this date to supply Lockheed Martin with this item.
