ZEDcore

A modular concept

By integrating the ZEDcore in plug-and-play mode in all ZED devices (apart from ZEDeco), your leak testing becomes as flexible as possible without requiring complicated installation.

This modularity allows measuring circuits to be exchanged quickly and easily in one device or a measuring module to be used across different devices.

Maximum modularity for leak testing

Measuring methods

RD	RD relative pressure (optional: 2-channel)
RD / GP	relative pressure with bell testing
RD / DF	relative pressure with flow rate
DD	differential pressure
SD	accumulation pressure
MF	mass flow

(See technical data for available pressure ranges)

Accessories (optional)

External ventilation valve
Temperature compensation

The advantages at a glance:

No programming knowledge is required because the measuring module can be used in plug-and-play mode.
Various measuring methods are possible: Relative pressure, relative pressure with bell testing, relative pressure with flow, differential pressure, mass flow, and accumulation pressure.
Machine downtimes are reduced because there is no need to install leak testing devices.
Fewer spare parts need to be stored because the measuring circuits can be easily replaced.
Calibration saves time and money since only the measuring module needs to be sent in.
The follow-up costs are lower because there is no longer any need for stand-by devices.
