Accurate Fuel Quantity Testing Made Simple with the VIAVI PSD60-1AF

Accurate fuel quantity indication is critical to aircraft safety, mission readiness, and operational efficiency. Whether supporting scheduled maintenance, troubleshooting discrepancies, or performing system calibration, aviation technicians require a test solution that is precise, reliable, and easy to use. The VIAVI PSD60-1AF was engineered to meet exactly those demands—making complex AC fuel capacitance testing straightforward and dependable.

Built for AC Capacitance Fuel Quantity Systems

Modern aircraft fuel quantity systems commonly rely on AC capacitance technology to measure fuel, oil, or liquid oxygen (LOX) levels. The PSD60-1AF is designed specifically to interface with these systems, allowing technicians to accurately measure and simulate capacitance values without unnecessary setup or external equipment.

With the PSD60-1AF, maintenance teams can:

  • Measure capacitance across single or multiple transmitters, even when connected in parallel

  • Simulate one or two capacitance values for calibration and verification

  • Identify faults in probes, wiring, or system insulation

This capability makes the PSD60-1AF a practical all-in-one solution for diagnosing fuel quantity indication issues on the flight line or in the hangar.

Simplified Testing for Faster Maintenance

One of the key advantages of the VIAVI PSD60-1AF is how it simplifies testing workflows. The unit is battery powered and fully portable, allowing technicians to perform checks directly on the aircraft—often without defueling or removing components. This reduces aircraft downtime and helps maintenance crews complete tasks more efficiently.

A clear, easy-to-read display combined with intuitive controls ensures that results can be interpreted quickly, even in demanding maintenance environments. For MROs and military operators alike, this translates to faster troubleshooting and more confident maintenance decisions.

Reliable Performance in Demanding Environments

The PSD60-1AF was built with durability in mind. Its rugged construction and solid-state electronics make it suitable for repeated use in harsh aviation environments, including military flight lines and high-tempo maintenance operations. Even though the model has been discontinued by the manufacturer, it remains widely used and trusted due to its proven performance and long service life.

For organizations supporting legacy aircraft platforms or AC capacitance fuel systems, the PSD60-1AF continues to be a valuable and relevant test instrument.

Ideal for Military and Specialized Aircraft Application

The VIAVI PSD60-1AF is commonly used in military and specialized aviation programs where AC fuel capacitance systems are still prevalent. Its ability to test fuel, oil, and LOX quantity systems makes it especially useful for multi-system diagnostics, reducing the need for multiple dedicated test sets.

This versatility helps operators standardize their tooling while maintaining high accuracy and compliance with maintenance requirements.

Why Choose the VIAVI PSD60-1AF Today?
