Back in the late 1980s, System Studies began work on a simple hardware device, called a Flow Finder™, that would revolutionize the way flow measurements were taken and used in a cable pressurization system. The Flow Finder contained an internal, calibrated orifice that produced a slight pressure differential as air flowed through it. The subtle pressure difference created by the orifice could be measured and converted into a highly accurate flow rate by a hand-held Flow Gauge™. These two products became the building blocks for an entire line of manual and remote flow measurement devices.
Today, System Studies offers a variety of cable pressurization products ranging from central office panel equipment to simple pressurization fittings, from Flow Finder Manifolds™ to an impressive selection of special-application remote sensors, and from our advanced 289H LSS™ monitors to the hand-held Hydrogen Leak Detector.

Portable Air Dryer
The 0911 Portable Air Dryer is a self-contained, lightweight air filtration and drying unit. It can be used with a telco-supplied commercial air compressor to provide sustained emergency cable pressure protection when access to a central office is impossible due to natural or man-made disasters.
Never in the history of telephone operating companies (telcos) has there been such high potential for catastrophic failure of a wire center. In addition to the normal concerns of fire and flooding that telcos have faced over the years, the impending possibility of terrorist activity and its devastating consequences makes these concerns even more relevant. Significant damage to a central office building could literally shut down a wire center for days or weeks.
The portable air dryer and air delivery hardware assemblies make it possible to restore pressurized air pressure protection to the cables in an office from a selected manhole site located 1,000 to 2,000 feet away from the central office. The air dryer, which does not require electrical pairs to operate, contains a patented membrane dryer that eliminates the normal dryer maintenance associated with desiccant-type air dryers. For more information about this product, please see the Portable Air Dryer Data Sheet.

Sparton Subscriber Line
Adapter Module™
Like the Sparton Dedicated Replacement Card (SPDR), the Sparton Subscriber Line Adapter Module (SSLAM)™ is designed to streamline the transition from a Sparton CPAMS to a 289H or 289H-M LSS. The SPDR is used with Sparton dedicated modules, and the SSLAM is used for Sparton devices on subscriber pairs. Combined, these two products simplify the process of replacing central office monitors. They eliminate the costly and time consuming rewiring of monitoring device pairs and the running of new jumpers from the horizontal frame. While the SPDR is an actual relay card installed in a 289H monitor, the SSLAM (P/N 9800-6046) is a central office equipment rack component that provides the cabling interface between the Sparton Telzon block and the 289H equipment. The random pinout arrangement used on the Sparton block is converted into a sequential device arrangement on the SSLAM for the 289H LSS Subscriber relay card(s).
Because the Sparton Subscriber Line Adapter Module is an external 289H hardware component (unlike the LAN Controller card or SPDR card) , it does not require a PressureMAP modification in order to become operational. All current versions of PressureMAP can be used with the 289H monitors and the SSLAM. Additional information about the Sparton Subscriber Line Adapter Module (SSLAM) can be found on the product's datasheet.

Direction of Flow Indicator
The Direction of Flow Indicator (Part No. 9800-3200) is used to help locate leaks and identify leaking pneumatic plugs. Because it can detect very slight differences in cable pressure, it is especially useful in areas with extensive cable interlacing. It is equipped with two threaded valve connectors that provide a positive, leak-free connection. When the device is opened to allow air to flow through, the styrofoam ball will move towards the leak, which shows the flow direction between the two measurement points.

Field Unit Hydrogen Leak
Detector
The larger 3708 Hydrogen Leak Detector differs primarily from the smaller 3707 unit in that it accommodates several accessories to provide greater versatility in variety of leak locating applications. Both units are designed to detect commercially-available, green-label hydrogen tracer gas, which is a totally safe mixture of 5% Hydrogen (H2) and 95% Nitrogn (N2).
While both units can be used equally well for locating telephone cable leaks in utility holes, the 3708 detector truly shines at street level. With its Surface Probe attachment (Part No. 9800-3710), it is possible to detect leaks in conduits sections without having to place holes in the street surface. Because the hydrogen tracer gas used for leak detection is the lightest of all tracer gasses, it rises quickly to the surface, even through asphalt, concrete and ice.
To find out more about the capabilities of the Field Unit Hydrogen Leak Detector and its other time-saving accessories, take a look at the 3708 Hydrogen Leak Detector data sheet. Additional information about hydrogen safety is also available for viewing and printing.

Digital Pressure Gauge
One of the more recent additions to the System Studies line of cable pressurization leak locating tools is the compact and rugged Digital Pressure Gauge (Part No. 9800-3123). At approximately 18 ounces (0.51 kg) in weight and 3.375 inches (8.57 cm) in diameter, the Digital Pressure Gauge fits easily into most tool bags or compartments. When the air chuck is connected to the gauge's tank valve, the entire unit can be hung on a hook for even more convenient storage (see larger photo).
A thick rubber boot provides exceptional impact protection for the extruded aluminum housing and makes it easy to grip and hold the gauge. Adding to its overall durability is a rubber O-Ring which positively seals the gauge face and housing—preventing moisture from damaging the unit, even if it is inadvertently dropped in water.
Power to the Digital Pressure Gauge is supplied by two standard AAA batteries. An auto shut-off capability helps to conserve cell power and contribute to the exceptionally long battery life. Taking pressure readings with the Digital Pressure Gauge is much easier than with the old-style C Pressure Gauge. It has a four digit digital display that reduces the potential for errors in readings by eliminating the parallax problems prevalent with analog gauges.
