NCAT Ignition Panel Upgrade

Upgrade Your NCAT Furnace with the Advanced Ignition Panel

Breathe new life into your trusted NCAT Asphalt Content furnace with the Ignition Panel™, a cutting-edge front panel upgrade designed for the modern asphalt lab. This upgrade meets the rigorous standards of AASHTO T 308 and ASTM D6307, ensuring your equipment remains compliant while benefiting from the latest technological advancements.

The Ignition Panel replaces the original control panel of your NCAT furnace, integrating advanced electronics to enhance functionality, improve efficiency, and boost reliability. While the internal mechanics of your furnace remain the same, this upgrade transforms the user interface and data management capabilities, bringing your equipment into the 21st century.

All New Features, Same Trusted Operation

The Ignition Panel is engineered to be intuitive, preserving the familiar workflow you're accustomed to while adding powerful new features.

• Large 7” Color Touchscreen: A vibrant, easy-to-read display provides real-time test data, status warnings, and final results at a glance. Navigate effortlessly through test setup, diagnostics, balance calibration, and printing or saving results.
• Dual Control System: Enjoy operational redundancy with both a user-friendly touchscreen and a traditional keypad. The keypad features keys 50% larger than the original, making operation simple even when wearing gloves.
• Massive Internal Storage: With 8GB of internal memory, you can store thousands of test results directly on the unit. Access and review historical data anytime without needing an external device.
• Effortless Data Transfer: A convenient USB port allows you to quickly download test data to a flash drive for analysis and reporting on a PC. This feature also enables easy software updates to keep your system current with the latest features and improvements.

Crucially, the upgrade does not alter the core function or accuracy of the furnace. Your %AC results will remain consistent, and you can continue to use your existing aggregate and lift correction factors without any changes.
