Controller Improves “Smoke Machine” Performance, July 2000

Electro-Tech Products, Inc. has developed a new control system for an innovative automotive diagnostic tool that utilizes smoke under low pressure for leak detection. The new control is smaller than previous controls and initiates smoke generation more rapidly. Additionally, ETP has been awarded a development contract for an advanced microprocessor based control system with enhanced features and safety. The “Smoke Machine” is manufactured by Champion Engineering LLC, Fullerton, CA.

“ETP’s ability to provide engineering insight to a customer’s 
needs was key to winning the Advanced Control contract. 
After working with the current device, an improved control
scheme became apparent. The new method turned 
out to solve problems in another system under 
development at Champion” commented Gene
Stauffer, General Manager.
