This manual provides the information necessary to operate an ADCS-601-AF Air Data Calibration Standard.
The ADCS-601-AF is a system made up of several standard instruments. This manual describes the
individual instruments and their operation to the extent necessary for normal operation and maintenance of
the ADCS-601-AF system. More detailed information on individual instruments and software is contained in
each instrument or program’s specific operation and maintenance manual.
Before using the manual, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Table of Contents structure. Set
up of an ADCS-601-AF system should not be attempted without using Section 3. All first time ADCS-601AF users should read Section 4. Section 8 is a quick troubleshooting guide. Use the information in
Section 8 to troubleshoot unexpected ADCS-601-AF behavior based on the symptoms of that behavior.

1. INTRODUCTION

11.
ADCS-601-AF is a fully automated reference level Air Data Calibration Standard for the verification and
calibration of air data range instruments, in particular Air Data Test Sets (ADTS). ADCS-601-AF’s intended
function is the static pressure calibration of Pt and Ps range pressure transducers with very low measurement
uncertainty. ADCS-601-AF is not intended to duplicate the functions of an ADTS in calibrating and testing onboard aircraft instruments.
ADCS-601-AF covers the pressure range of 1 to 380 kPa (0.3 to 120 inHg) in absolute and gauge modes
with fully automated operation and state of the art uncertainty.
ADCS-601-AF is an integrated system made up of several instruments that work together under the control of
ADCS Tools software running on a personal computer. Operator interaction with ADCS-601-AF is
accomplished through the keyboard, pointing device and display of the system controller (personal computer).
The heart of the system is a fully automated PG7601 piston gauge or pressure balance that covers the
range of 15 to 380 kPa (4.5 to 120 inHg). The PG7601 range is extended down to 1 kPa (0.3 inHg) by an
FPG8601 force balanced piston gauge with automated pressure control.

2.1 ADCS-601-AF SYSTEM
ADCS-601-AF is a fully automated reference level Air Data Calibration Standard for the verification and
calibration of air data range instruments, in particular Air Data Test Sets (ADTS). ADCS-601-AF’s
intended function is the static pressure calibration of Pt and Ps range pressure transducers. To this end,
the system automatically sets pressure values with very low measurement uncertainty in the range of 1 to
380 kPa (0.3 to 120 inHg) in absolute and gauge modes. ADCS-601-AF is not intended to duplicate the
functions of an ADTS.
The ADCS-601-AF system is made up of two automated pressure standards with overlapping ranges to
cover the full pressure range. An automated PG7601 piston gauge covers the range of 15 to 380 kPa
(4.5 to 120 inHg) (see Section 2.2.1). The PG7601 range is extended down to 1 kPa (0.3 inHg) by an
FPG8601 force balanced piston gauge with automated pressure control (see Section 2.2.2). The system
also includes vacuum pumps and vacuum measurement instruments to support absolute mode operation.

2.2 PRESSURE STANDARDS
2.2.1 PG7601 PISTON GAUGE
The heart of the ADCS-601-AF Air Data Calibration Standard is a PG7601 gas operated
piston gauge. The PG7601 piston gauge system includes:
- PG7601 piston gauge platform with terminal (on reference bench)
- PC-7600/7100-10, TC 10 kPa/kg piston-cylinder module (mounted in platform)
- MS-AMH-38, 38 kg mass set (installed on platform)
- AMH-38-VAC, automated mass handler (installed on platform)
- CDG-VAC-REF, capacitance diaphragm gauge with display and isolation valve for
measurement of PG7601 reference vacuum in absolute mode (installed on platform)
- PPC3-700K pressure controller to automate PG7601 system pressure control (in
The PG7601 piston gauge, AMH-38 automated mass handler and PPC3-pressure
control cabinet).
controller are stand alone products for which separate Operation and Maintenance
manuals are available with much more complete information than is included in this
manual. Copies of these manuals are provided on the ADCS-601-AF Support CD and are
available at www.dhinstruments.com.
The PG7601 operates on the principle of the piston gauge in which pressure is defined by
balancing it against a known force on a known area (see Figure 11). The known area is
defined by a vertically mounted piston rotating in a cylinder and the known force is applied to
the
the piston by loading it with known mass subjected to acceleration due to gravity.
When
force applied by the pressure and the force applied by the mass accelerated by gravity are in
equilibrium, the piston floats and the pressure under the piston remains constant. The pressur e
can be calculated following the equation in Figure 11. The pressurized fluid under the piston
also
lubricates
the gap between the piston and the cylinder. When floating, the piston must be
rotating to keep it well centered in the cylinder.
The PG7601 is equipped with a 10 kPa/kg piston-cylinder module and 38 kg mass set, giving
it a range of 10 to 380 kPa (3 to 120 inHg). The PG7601 Platform includes a bell jar that can
be evacuated with a vacuum pump so that pressure can be defined against vacuum
(absolute mode) or atmosphere (gauge mode). The AMH-38 mass handler allows the mass
load to be changed automatically. The PPC3 pressure controller adjusts pressure
automatically to float the piston (see Section 2.2.3).
