1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

AMH-38 and AMH-100 are automated mass handling systems for PG7000 piston gauges. The AMH system allows mass values to be loaded and unloaded automatically in response to mass or pressure entries from the PG7000 terminal or over the PG7000’s COM1 or IEEE-488 interface.

The AMH system lifts the masses off the PG7000 piston, selects the masses to be loaded, and places the selected masses back onto the piston. This is accomplished using pneumatic and electrical actuation hardware.

The AMH must be used with a special AMH mass loading bell and mass set. Manipulation of conventional manual masses cannot be automated.

Both AMH models are accessories to PG7000 Platforms that can be used with an existing manual system or delivered as part of a new system. Some older PG7000 Platforms require modification before they can accept the AMH system. Please consult DHI or your DHI representative to determine if an existing PG7000 Platform is AMH ready.

AMH-38 is compatible with PG7601 and PG7607 Platforms and handles a mass set of nominally 13, 25 or 38 kg. It includes a vacuum chamber for the establishment of a vacuum reference around the masses when operating in absolute by vacuum mode.

AMH-100 is compatible with PG7201, PG7202, PG7302 and PG7307 Platforms and handles a mass set of nominally 40, 60, 80 or 100 kg. It does not include a vacuum chamber so the masses are always in ambient pressure conditions.

2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

AMH-38 and AMH-100 are delivered, along with their standard accessories, in a corrugated container with foam cut outs to hold items in place.

Remove all parts from the shipping box. Be sure not to lose or discard the Accessory Kit. Inspect all parts for damage. If damage is noted, report it to your Shipping & Receiving Department and

the delivering carrier for appropriate action. Inspect for any missing components or accessories referring to Table 1 for AMH-38 or Table 2 for AMH-

100. Should any items be missing, contact DHI or your local DHI representative.
