2.0 Introduction

Note
The PIN8000/PIN8010 pressure intensifier is an electro-mechanical device that can be used in conjunction with a NIST traceable calibration standard to allow calibrations up to 10,000 PSIG. Each PIN8000/PIN8010 utilizes Condec’s patented ORION 3A type micro-metering valves and vernier for pressure adjustment and venting. The unit has two output (test) ports, one input port and three front panel gauges. This allows the operator to monitor accumulator pressure, regulated input pressure, and intensified output pressure. Two output (test) ports allow one to be connected to a NIST traceable calibration standard and the other to the device under test (DUT).
The Condec REG 1000 pressure regulator acts as a pressure limiter so that pressure to 1/10 of the target value. A fill hose, output hose, and output fitting (located within the top cover) are supplied. A front panel switch provides selection of the desired pump control mode, momentary (jog) or continuous. For field use, the PIN8000 has an optional 83.3 cubic foot, 2,216 PSI cylinder is available to provide many hours of use.

To initially fill or refill the external pressure cylinder (2,216 PSI max.),
1. Close the cylinder
2. Connect the customer-supplied fill hose or optional Condec P hose to a clean regulated nitrogen source, with an output pressure gauge and vent valve.

4. Open the cylinder valve by rotati
5. Slowly open the valve on the nitrogen source and allow customer-supplied output pressure gauge indicates the amount of pressure within the internal cylinder.
The cylinder is equipped with a rupture disk.
6. Fill the cylinder to 1,000 PSI at a rate of charge equal to a minimum of two minutes, then wait five minutes for the system to stabilize.
7. Fill the cylinder from 1,000 PSI to 2,216 PSI at a rate of charge equal to a minimum of two minutes. W ait five

open (two turns counter-clockwise from its stop). Verify that the Condec REG 1000 (10) is closed by rotating counter-clockwise until it stops.
2. Plug in the power cord (1).
3. Connect the male end of the test (output) hose to output port 1 or port 2 (9).
4. Connect the swivel fitting end (7/16-20) of the test
(output) hose to the input of the device to be
pressurized using adapters if required. Properly tighten all connections.
5. Locate the male end of the supplied output port fitting P
N 55542 found within the top cover. Connect
with the output port (9).
6. Connect the other end of the output port fitting, male 7/16-20 37 degree (AN-4) JIC thread, to Condec 3030, Conde
c DPDG, or the customer-supplied pressure electronic calibration standard. If necessary, use adapters or a hose. Use a cheat seal pad PN 54854 between the output port fitting (PN 55542) and the hose/adapter. Properly tighten all connections.
7. If using the
optional external cylinder PN 59533, connect the male end of the input hose (3) to the
female CGA-580 brass cylinder (5) valve fitting. If not using the optional external cylinder, connect the ma
le end of the input hose (3) to the female
CGA-580, customer-supplied, regulated pressure source.
8. Connect the swivel fitting end (7/16-20) of the input hose (3)
to the input port (4) fitting using a cheat
seal pad PN 54854 between the mating surfaces. Properly tighten all connections.

2. Using the Condec REG 1000 (10), adjust the maximum intensifier regulated pressure gauge (6), to 1/10 of the target value. The unit utilizes an internal intensifier with a 10:1 ratio. For example, setting regulated pressure to 300 PSI would generate an output pressure of 3,000 PSI. This protects the device from being accidentally over-pressurized.
3. To generate pressure, enable the power switch (2) accumulator pressure gauge (7). Turn the power switch (2) off when 10% more than the target pressure has been achieved.
The intensifier power switch (2) can be operated in two modes. The “up” position is continuous and the “down” position is momentary/jog.

and monitor the pressure as it builds in the
Do not operate the unit in continuous mode without an operator being present.
4. To apply pressure, the vent valve (12) must be closed by rotating the knob clockwise. Slowly open the pressure valve (11) counter-clockwise, while monitoring the electronic calibration standard display previously attached to one of the output ports (9), until reaching near the target value. The analog output pressure gauge (8) will also give a reading; however, it will be less accurate.
5. Use either the pressure (11) or vent valve (8) to obtain a pres
sure reading near the target value. Both provide precise control. As the pressure approaches the desired valu e, the valve being used for control should be slowly rotated clockwise to its closed position.
6. To obtain exact pressure readings, slowly rotate the verni
er control (14) knob in the required direction
(clockwise to increase pressure) as indicated by the electronic calibration standard display.
Use the intensifier power switch (2) if the accumulator pressure gauge (7) reading falls below the required target pressure value.

4.2 Maintenance & Service Procedures

The repair procedures cover the major components and sub-assemblies which are critical to the proper functioning of the calibrators and that need periodic maintenance over the life of the unit.
Only those persons who are formally trained as skilled technicians should attempt to repair these units. All safety precautions should be observed due to components. The unit must always be unplugged from the power source and properly vented.
