The phx42 charger reliability varies by site, but LDARtools reports generally high reliability. The repair lab processes hundreds of phx42 units with virtually no failures.
The current charger connector is an off-the-shelf industry standard PVC-jacketed wire, with added strain relief and a very high-quality aerospace connector, which LDARtools regards as the best option currently available.
For best results follow these procedures:
- Only remove the charger by grasp
Contamination is a costly phx42 repair. To avoid contamination, you can follow these best practice steps:
- Weekly probe integrity inspection
- Daily self-check if not running Cal5.0
- Always have a filter installed during ignition
