OTEK Corp to supply digital bargraph
indicators for Nuclear Power Plant in California
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 Corp supplies Lockheed Martin with
custom instrument for weapon simulator system
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.

control instruments used in a variety of industries including nuclear,
aerospace and defense contracts.

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.
