Contents:



The IAC 1087 delivers the world’s most capable aircraft diagnostic system in a portable light weight, rugged enclosure that is easy to operate and provides easy-to-understand corrective actions. The IAC 1087 is part of a growing family of adaptable and interchangeable hardware and software machinery diagnostic products offered by IAC. The Windows® compatible PC-GBS analysis software included with your purchase of the IAC 1087 can also be used with all IAC onboard (HUMS) systems. Available options include the IAC 1047 iMDS-Server, the iMDS Database Setup Tool and the iMDS Matlab® Development Toolbox.

Rugged and fully programmable, the IAC 1087 performs helicopter rotor smoothing, engine performance checks, component balancing, vibration surveys and complex vibration component analysis.

Maintenance actions are displayed with a demonstrated easy-to-use and easy-to-understand Personal Computer Ground Based System (PC-GBS) that can dramatically increase aircraft availability and readiness. The IAC 1087 can be configured for virtually any machinery diagnostic application.

The IAC 1087 is offered with a Basic Kit* and aircraft specific adapter kits. The Basic Kit contains the Data Acquisition Unit (DAU), PC-GBS analysis software, vibration sensors, cables and accessories. Aircraft specific adapter kits consist of sensor mounting brackets, cables and additional sensors required. All cables, brackets and sensors are fully compatible with the RADS-AT™ / Aviation Vibration Analyzer (AVA). The Windows® compatible PC-GBS diagnostic software triggers DAU measurements producing easy-tounderstand OEM recommended maintenance actions to maintainers for rotor smoothing, engines and the entire drive train.

PC Based Host Software Application
The PC-GBS Windows® compatible software program receives measured data from IAC 1087, stores this data into a database, then analyzes this data to produce easy-to-understand corrective actions for maintainers. The PC-GBS software can also act as a simple mechanism to collect and transfer data from the field to a centralized web server. This provides users with remote monitoring, trending, data analysis and automatic software upgrades for the IAC 1087.
