RTI ATX-2 Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchanger - RTi Reading Technologies, Inc

The RTI ATX-2 Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchanger is an advanced system designed for efficient and accurate transmission fluid service. This unit automates the fluid exchange process, ensuring comprehensive maintenance for various vehicle types.

Specifications

The ATX-2 operates with a positive displacement gear pump, delivering new fluid at approximately 4 quarts (3.8 liters) per minute. It includes a pressure gauge for transmission pressure diagnostics, allowing technicians to monitor system performance. The system features integrated new and used fluid sight bowls with filters, enabling visual monitoring of the fluid exchange quality. It connects to the vehicle's battery via a 12-volt power cord and includes 10-foot red and black hoses for connection to transmission cooler lines. The unit incorporates digital weight scale technology for precise fluid mass measurement.

Key Features

The ATX-2 offers fully automatic operation, allowing technicians to initiate an exchange and attend to other tasks. Its multi-fluid capability enables easy switching between different transmission fluid types, supported by a separate drain hose to prevent contamination. A fluid flow direction indicator automatically verifies correct hook-up to the vehicle, with audible and visual alerts for reversed hoses. The electronic keypad provides a clear, intuitive interface for simple operation, featuring buttons for specific quart exchanges (e.g., 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 quarts), draining the pan, and emptying fluid tanks. A patented bypass circuit safeguards the transmission during power interruptions.

Applications

The RTI ATX-2 is engineered for professional automotive service environments, including fast lube centers, transmission repair shops, and general vehicle maintenance facilities. It performs complete transmission fluid exchanges on a wide array of vehicles by connecting to the transmission cooler lines. The system is suitable for recovering transmission fluid, filtering it, and facilitating pan drops for filter changes. Its multi-fluid capability makes it versatile for servicing diverse vehicle makes and models that require different transmission fluid specifications.

Benefits

This automatic transmission fluid exchanger delivers rapid service times, completing most exchanges in approximately 2 to 5 minutes, which enhances shop productivity. The digital weight scale technology ensures leading accuracy in fluid measurement, minimizing the need for post-exchange fluid level adjustments. Proportional motor control prevents fluid turbulence, facilitating effective displacement of old fluid. Audible and visual alerts signal when an exchange is complete, streamlining workflow and reducing technician oversight. The clear "new versus used" fluid comparison sight bowls allow customers to visually confirm the service quality, fostering trust and transparency. The integrated diagnostic pressure gauge provides valuable insights into transmission operating pressure, aiding in identifying potential issues.
