ST1000 Solenoid Tester

The ST1000 Solenoid Tester is the next generation of transmission solenoid tester, offering a host of advantages and enhanced capabilities for today’s modern transmission remanufacturers. The key to accurately testing modern solenoids is to test at the proper frequency and duty cycle and this is precisely what sets the ST1000 apart from the competition. Stop throwing money away by testing at the wrong frequency and start putting that money back into your business. With the ST1000, you can be confident that your results are 100% accurate and you are no longer rejecting perfectly good solenoids simply because they were not being tested properly.

Mustang designed the ST1000 to be a universal solenoid tester, meaning you can use your existing wiring harnesses and solenoid test fixtures from other solenoid testers that you may already own. A user-friendly software interface allows you to easily establish test limits for new solenoids. In “LEARN MODE”, a known good OEM solenoid is used to automatically set and record new upper and lower limits for that solenoid. An exclusive feature that is not available on other solenoid testers.

The ST-1000 pays for itself in savings. You’ll find that you can save up to 80% of the solenoids that you would otherwise throw away. With a wide range of frequencies, the ST1000 gives you the ability to test solenoids exactly as they perform in a vehicle’s transmission.

Mustang developed the ST1000 Solenoid Tester to provide an easy and cost-effective way to test transmission solenoids. For years, the transmission industry lacked a quality solenoid tester that could test solenoids accurately and with minimal false rejections. Mustang’s solution was to create a tester with more powerful software capabilities, a more flexible user interface, the most advanced 10-bit resolution electronics and data acquisition, and a larger cabinet space for easier access. All of these improvements result in a tester that gives you more accurate test results and greater efficiencies through the ability to save, analyze, edit and customize your testing procedures.

Powerful Software Capabilities

The most important feature of the ST1000 Software is the “Learn Mode” feature. The learn mode feature automates the process of establishing pass/fail criteria for new solenoids. In Learn Mode, establishing high and low limit thresholds is as easy as a click of the mouse. Simply run a known good OEM solenoid through learn mode, enter the tolerances, and the software handles the rest. Now, every test solenoid will be compared to this known good solenoid and pass/fail will be based on tolerances you establish as acceptable. Editing capabilities allow you to modify the data that has been recorded in Learn Mode to further customize the test parameters.

Flexible User Interface

Another important and useful feature of the ST1000 Software is the ability to customize the interface and display to focus in on exactly the information you are trying to see. The software gives you the ability to customize the data that is displayed in the graph and on the gages. It allows you to change colors, line sizes, display names and filter levels on virtually every channel of data.

Advanced 10-bit resolution electronics

Another key feature that sets the ST1000 apart as a superior tool is our insistence on using superior electronics. The ST1000 utilizes a wide range of frequencies and 10-bit resolution as compared to 8-bit resolution found in competitive systems. The advantage of a 10-bit resolution is more precise duty cycle and frequency. Our 10-bit resolution gives you the ability to test at the higher frequencies and duty cycle that are required for testing today’s modern solenoids.

Larger Cabinet Size

Mustang also enlarged the test cabinet on the ST1000, giving  you more room inside the tester, a noticeable feature when setting up test blocks and changing out solenoids.

Specifications

Feature:	Detail:
Data Acquisition and Computer included	By testing solenoids with data acquisition, every solenoid has their signature just like your hand signature. The only way to see if that signature is right would be to graph and compare it to the original.
Control frequency from 15 Hz to 50.5 KHz	Newer solenoids require higher frequency. If you test with the wrong frequency, you may end up throwing out solenoids that are good. Example: The newer 4L80E & 6L80E EPC Solenoid requires 1,200 HZ to properly test.
10-bit resolution for frequency and duty cycle	With 10-bit resolution, when you request your frequency or Duty Cycle you will get the frequency or Duty Cycle that you request and not something close to it. An 8-bit resolution can test good solenoids but fail them or test bad solenoids and pass them. A 10-bit resolution better duplicates the environment in which the solenoid operates.Example: A shop in Columbus, OH has started using a Mustang Solenoid Tester and has saved at least an additional 20% of solenoids that were being thrown out due to wrong failure readings from an 8-bit competitor’s solenoid tester. This savings alone will pay for the Mustang Solenoid Tester in less than 6 months.
Manual Mode (operator controls solenoid)	Control solenoids without the graph. Change frequency, duty cycle, read pressure, or flow temperature manually.
Automated Mode (run your custom program)	Setup a solenoid block and hit the start button. This is a labor savings; the technician can perform other work while testing is performed.
Graph Mode (ramps duty cycle for graphs and compare data in real time)	Checking solenoid signature for PASS/FAIL Criteria
Learn Mode (Program will learn new OEM solenoids, save data and graphs)	Take the guess work out of solenoid testing. Start learn mode with new OEM solenoid run test and save data to compare to all solenoids of that type.
Print and save data	You can print out solenoid tests and give a copy to the customer.
Able to review HIGH/LOW limits on the graph	Easy PASS / FAIL decisions.
Regulated hydraulic pressure to 160PSI	For Future Expansion
Heater up to 220 deg	Oil has to be above 115deg to test solenoid
Low oil heater cut off switch	If the heater was left on without oil in the tank, it could start a fire or cause a lot of smoke. Big Safety Issue!
Read pressure transducers on the 46RE and 47RE valve body	Compare volts to pressure on transducer
Bigger working area of the machine. Easy access to all areas of the machine	23”H x 20.5”W x 17.25”D (over 40% more space to work than competitors!)
Larger door area to get into the tester to install solenoids or blocks	16.25” x 9.25” (nearly 50% more opening space to work than competitors!)
Existing solenoid blocks and plates from other suppliers can be used	Competitors Blocks can be used in the Mustang’s Solenoid Tester. No additional re-investment in new blocks is required.
Existing Solenoid Testing Harnesses from a competitor tester can be used.	No additional re-investment is required
