PACE1000 Pressure Indicator User Manual
1Description
1.1 Introduction
The PACE Pressure Indicator measures both pneumatic and hydraulic pressures and
displays, on a colour touch-screen, the measured pressure and instrument status. The
touch-screen enables selections and settings in measuring modes. The instrument can be
operated remotely through communication interfaces.
Figure 1-1 PACE1000 General view
The rear of the instrument houses all the electrical and pressure input connections. The
electrical connections provide a power supply, serial and parallel communication interfaces,
pressure ports and option ports.
The instrument can be used as follows:
• Free-standing instrument positioned on a horizontal surface.
• Rack-mounted in a standard 19 inch rack using the rack-mount option kit.
• Panel mount using the panel-mount option kit.

2.1 Packaging
Check the contents of the PACE1000 packaging with the list that follows:
Packaging List - PACE1000
i) PACE1000 Pressure Indicator.
ii) Adaptor, power supply (GE part number 191-370).
iii) User guide and safety instructions, and CD containing the full documentation suite.
iv) Calibration certificate.
2.2 Packaging for Storage or Transportation
To store or return the instrument for calibration/repair do the procedures that follow:
1. Pack the instrument (Ref: Reference and Specification, Section 6.13).
2. Return the instrument for calibration/repair complete the return goods procedure (Ref:
Reference and Specification, Section 6.12).
2.3 Preparation for Use
The instrument can be used as a:
• Free-standing instrument positioned on a horizontal surface
• Panel-mounted using the panel-mount option kit (Ref: Section 2.5)
• Rack-mounted in a standard 19 inch rack using the rack-mount option kit (Ref: Section
2.5).
For free-standing instruments, the feet on the front of the base can be used elevate the instrument
to a better viewing angle.
Note: Allow a free flow of air around the instrument, especially at high ambient temperatures.

2.4 Connectioning the Instrument
WARNINGS
TURN OFF THE SOURCE PRESSURE(S) AND CAREFULLY VENT THE PRESSURE LINES BEFORE
DISCONNECTING OR CONNECTING THE PRESSURE LINES. PROCEED WITH CARE.
ONLY USE EQUIPMENT WITH THE CORRECT PRESSURE RATING.
BEFORE APPLYING PRESSURE, EXAMINE ALL FITTINGS AND EQUIPMENT FOR DAMAGE.
REPLACE ALL DAMAGED FITTINGS AND EQUIPMENT. DO NOT USE ANY DAMAGED
FITTINGS AND EQUIPMENT.
Pneumatic Pressure (Figure 2-1)
1. Refer to the SDS for the correct pressure mediums to be used.
2. Connect the Unit Under Test (UUT) to the required connection port.
Note: For instruments with NPT connections, use applicable pressure sealing.

Installation
The instrument connects to the Unit Under Test.
Input Pressure and Equipment
The pressure should not exceed 1.25 x full-scale or MWP stated on the rear panel of the
instrument.
To protect the instrument from over-pressure a suitable protection device (such as a relief valve or
bursting disc) must be fitted to prevent over pressurization.
Pneumatic Connection
WARNING
PRESSURE RANGES >210 bar (3000 psi) ARE ONLY RATED FOR HYDRAULIC USE.
Cautions
Do not exceed the maximum pressures stated in the appropriate Component Manual for
the unit under test.
Reduce pressure at a controlled rate when venting to atmosphere.
Carefully de-pressurize all pipes to atmospheric pressure before disconnecting and
connecting to the unit under test.
Connections
1. Switch off the power supply before connecting or disconnecting the instrument.
2. Use the appropriate sealing method for all pressure connections.
