5 Testing and Fault Finding

5.1 Introduction

This section details the standard serviceability test. Table 5.1 lists possible faults, and the response.

The PACE1000 contains a self-test and diagnosis system that continuously monitors the performance of the unit. At power-up, the system performs a self-test.

5.2 Standard Serviceability Test

The following procedure shows if the unit is serviceable and checks functions and facilities of the PACE1000.

Procedure

Caution

Always release pressure before disconnecting pressure equipment from the outlet port.

1. Connect the instrument (Ref: Installation, Section 2) Connect a UUT.

2. After power-up, select measure set-up.

a. Select the required units of pressure measurement from the measure set-up

menu.

b. Apply a known pressure to one of the sensors. Make sure the instrument

pressure reading is within tolerance, stated in the specification (Ref: SDS). c. Carefully release the applied pressure to atmospheric pressure. d. Make sure the instrument pressure reading shows atmospheric or ambient

pressure. e. Test complete.

6.1 Installation notes

The PACE1000 pressure indicator requires a set of connections with the exception of the reference connection, this provides a reference to atmosphere for gauge sensors and barometric sensors.

The gas density and type does not affect the accuracy of pressure measurement, assuming that the UUT is at the same level (height) as the indicator or gas head correction is accurately set.

6 Reference and Specification

6.2 Reference Port

The reference port provides the negative pressure to the gauge sensor and to the barometric reference (option). Gauge sensors use this port identified as “REF”. For gauge sensors (without a barometric reference) small pressures can be applied (Ref: Specification, Section 6-7,). All other pressure measurement requires the port to be opened to atmosphere.

When in gauge mode, the instrument shows and controls the pressure difference between the reference port and the output port.

Note: This is not a true differential operation as there is no true differential calibration of the sensor.

The transducer of the barometric reference option senses atmospheric pressure via the reference port, when enabled the port MUST be open to atmosphere.

The reference connection should be actively used (differential connection option) for precision low pressure measurement. The instrument measures pressure relative to the pressure at the reference port.

An atmospheric pressure change causes the indicator to adjust the pressure and appears at the pressure output as apparent instability. To keep a stable controlled pressure, the reference port should be restricted. Using a reference port restrictor (snubber), short term ambient pressure variations can be prevented from affecting indicator performance.

The indicator and UUT references should be connected together (using the optional differential connection kit ) to provide a common reference to atmosphere.

6.4 Measure Set-up

Pressure zero

During use, the instrument pressure sensor can show small zero shifts caused by time and temperature changes. Regular “zeroing” increases measuring precision.

Process

Selects display processing features that change the reading, as follows: %: Pressure can be displayed reading as a percentage of full-scale or as a percentage

of a specified span.

Filter: The displayed reading can be filtered by a custom low pass filter or the filter can

be disabled (default disabled). The indicator works at a speed independent of the filter time constant.

Tare: A specific tare value can be selected or the current displayed pressure reading can

be “captured” as the tare value. The display shows the selected tare value in the pressure window.

Peak: Maximum, minimum and average display of pressure readings.

Task

Selecting Task enables a set of pre-determined functions and software enabled optional functions.

Units

Select the new units from the list of pressure measurement units. Special units can also be defined (Ref: Global set-up,

Section 6.6, supervisor set-up).

Global set-up

Set-up zero

Zero from top level screen (main range only). If other ranges are fitted these can be zeroed by selecting the displayed reading.

Barometric Reference Option

The barometric reference option measures the barometric pressure at the reference port. Depending on the sensors fitted, it also permits the indicator to operate in either pseudo-

gauge or pseudo-absolute mode by the addition of barometric pressure.

The Supervisor menu provides facilities for programming settings. These are usually made during installation as follows:

Important Note: A PIN protects the Supervisor menu against unauthorised use. Each instrument on

delivery contains the factory set PIN (0268). To continue protecting the supervisor set-up menu the PIN should be changed as soon as possible.

Alarms

An alarm can be set to trigger when the pressure exceeds the high alarm or falls below the low alarm. A buzzer sounds when the alarm triggers and the alarm symbol (bell) appears on the display.

Comms

Selects the communication port parameters and simultaneous operation of both the RS232 and the IEEE 488 interfaces.

The user can select appropriate settings for communicating with the control computer (PC) and the required command protocol.

of the PACE1000 enter a positive height correction.

• for UUT positioned lower than the reference level of the PACE1000 enter a negative

height correction.
