RF80G/T & RF80H Obsolescence
                

The Christie RF80G/T ReFLEX Charger/Analyzer was manufactured during the 1970s and was discontinued in the early 1980s.  The RF80H model was manufactured until 1991, when it was replaced by the newer RF80-K model which is still current in 2006 as the RF80-K (CE) p/n 121630-006.

Availability of RF80G/T and RF80H spares is now quite limited due to the nature of their electro-mechanical design, evolution of electronic devices and new digital designs.  No new replacement circuit boards are available including the A1, A3, A4 and M1 circuit cards, and many other key components are obsolete.

We are continuing to calibrate and certify serviceable units, and perform minor repairs when components are still available.

We are also seeing trading activity in the surplus market for the RF80GT & H models.  Please understand that units being offered as surplus may be unserviceable, not calibrated, missing output cables & manuals, and some units are now beyond economical repair.

If you currently own an RF80G/T or RF80H, we strongly recommend you consider budgeting for replacement with the newer RF80-K in the near future.

The RF80-K (CE) model offers increased functionality over the G/T and H models, digital design and displays, and supports both ni-cd and lead acid aircraft battery chemistries.  For additional information, please contact us directly.

Thanks for your continued use of Christie equipment!
