1.1 Introduction
The PACE5000 single-channel and PACE6000 single/dual-channel, Pressure Automated
Calibration Equipment measures and controls pneumatic pressures and displays, on a
touch-screen, the pressure measurement and controller status. The touch-screen enables
selections and settings in both measure and control modes. The instrument can be operated
remotely through communication interfaces.
Figure 1-1 PACE5000 General view
Figure 1-2 PACE6000 General view
The rear of the instrument houses all the electrical and pneumatic output and input
connections. The electrical connections provide an a.c. power supply, serial and parallel
communication interfaces, d.c. output and logic input and output. The system pneumatic
controller module contains a positive and negative pressure supply port, an output port,
vent port and reference port.
The instrument can be mounted in a standard 19 inch rack system (rack-mount option).

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 6.8).
2. Return the instrument for calibration/repair complete the return goods procedure (Ref:
Reference and Specification, Section 6.8).
Note: The procedure above applies to the pressure control module as a separate item.
2.3 Preparation for Use
The instrument can be used as a:
• Free-standing instrument positioned on a horizontal surface.
• Rack-mounted in a standard 19 inch rack using the rack-mount option kit (Ref: Section
2.5, Rack-mount option).
For free-standing instruments, the feet on the front of the base can be used elevate the
instrument to a better viewing angle.
Note: Do not obstruct the air cooling outlet on the underside of the instrument and allow a free
flow of air around the instrument, especially at high ambient temperatures.

Installation
The safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler
of the system.
The instrument requires a positive pressure supply, instruments operating in an absolute
range or negative pressure range require a vacuum supply.
A vacuum supply should be used for a fast response for instruments operating near
atmospheric pressure.
For dual channel operation two independent pressure and vacuum supplies can be used.
Figure 2-2, Pressure module rear view
Note: When using two pressure modules (Ref: Section 4.9, Pressure module replacement)
make sure that:
• The module with the highest pressure rating is fitted to the right hand side
Module 1 position as viewed from the rear of the product refer to (Ref: Fig 2-2)
• If two modules have the same pressure rating, make sure that the module with
the higher serial number is fitted to the right hand side Module 1 position as
viewed from the rear of the product.
Note: All pneumatic connections must comply with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)
or other regional pressure standards.
Note: When connecting the output ports of two pressure modules together make sure both
are either:
• below 70 bar
OR
• between 100 to 210 bar.
To prevent over-pressurisation of pneumatic parts and maintain compliance with the PED do
not mix categories.

Supply equipment
Pneumatic supplies should have isolation valves and, where necessary, conditioning
equipment.
The positive pressure supply should be regulated to between 110% of the full-scale pressure
range and MWP stated on the control module.
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.
On instruments without a negative supply, the positive pressure discharges from the system
to atmosphere through the negative supply port. Pipe the negative port to a safe discharge
area or fit a diffuser to the negative port.
During system pressure vent operations, the pressure discharges from the system to
atmosphere through the negative and vent ports. Pipe both ports to a safe discharge area or
fit a diffuser to the negative port.
Pneumatic Connection Examples (Ref: Figures 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5)
The examples that follow show a single channel connection detail, using supply equipment
described above.

* High pressure gas exhaust - depending on pressure range.
** Optional vacuum system kit, allows the -ve port gas to be directly discharged to
atmosphere, by-passing the vacuum pump.
† Optimum controller transient response and minimum time to set-point may be
degraded if either the pneumatic supply or vacuum system has restricted flow.
Installing a reservoir volume, which has larger capacity than the load volume, located
in close proximity to the controller supply ports can improve the controller response.
‡ Optional negative gauge pressure generator kit.
To protect the control module, for ranges of 70 bar and above from over-pressure a
suitable protection device (such as a relief valve or bursting disc) must be fitted to limit
the applied supply pressure to below the MWP.
Optional differential connection kit.

3.2 Power-up sequence
The following sequences of operation shows the instrument display.
Note: The following sequence is an example, the values and selections displayed depend on
the range(s) and options enabled in the instrument (Ref: Touch screen areas).
1. Set the power supply to ON:
2. The display shows the power-up sequence.
3. The instrument carries out a self-test.
If the test finds a fault, the display shows an
error (Ref: Fault Finding and Testing, Section
5).
4. If the self-test is successful the system
enables the touch screen and changes to
measure mode.
5. The touch screen shows the measured
pressure in the parameters selected in set-up.
6. The instrument is now ready for use.
Note: The PACE 6000 shows a single display
(default) this is the left hand pressure control
module. Change to dual display in Global Setup/Display.

AUTO-RANGE (only available with two-channel instruments)
Note: Not all Auto-Range and task functions are available using the remote
communications, this allows more flexibility to the remote programmer.
Controller Off – Increasing Set-point
With both controllers in Measure mode, if a set-point within the range of the lower ranged
controller is entered and Control is then selected the lower ranged controller controls to the
entered set-point.
With both controllers in Measure mode, if a set-point above the range of the lower ranged
controller is entered and Control is then selected, then the range is changed to the higher
ranged controller and this then controls to the entered set-point.
Controller Off – Decreasing Set-point
With both controllers in Measure mode, if a set-point within the range of the higher ranged
controller is entered and Control is then selected the higher ranged controller controls to the
entered set-point.
With both controllers in Measure mode, if a set-point above the range of the lower ranged
controller is entered and Control is then selected, then the higher ranged controller will
control to this set-point. When the controller is in limits then the range is changed to the
lower ranged controller and this then controls to the entered set-point .
Controller On – Increasing Set-point
With the lower ranged controller in Control mode, if a set-point within the range of the lower
ranged controller is entered then the lower ranged controller controls to the entered set-point.
If the set-point is increased to above the lower range but still within the higher range then the
lower range controller switches off and that the higher range controller switches on and controls
to the entered set-point.
Controller On – Decreasing Set-point
With the higher ranged controller in Control mode, if a set-point within the range of the
higher ranged controller is entered then the higher ranged controller controls to the entered
set-point.
If the set-point is decreased to within the lower range then the higher range controller will
control to this set-point. When the controller is in limits then the range is changed to the
lower ranged controller and this then controls to the entered set-point .
