1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The DHI Manual Pressure Controller for Differential Pressure (MPC1-D) provides a compact and easy to use system for manually setting and adjusting pressures between atmosphere and 1 000 or 3 000 psi in systems where precise pressure control is required. MPC1-D is a dual configuration designed specifically for use in setting and adjusting differential pressures at elevated line pressure. It is the standard pressure control component for working with DHI’s PG7102 piston gauges in High Line Differential Pressure mode. A single channel model, MPC1, is available for applications other than differential pressures at elevated static pressures.

MPC1-D-1000 is for pressures to 1 000 psi (7 MPa), MPC1-D-3000 is for pressures to 3 000 psi (21 MPa).

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

The MPC1-D is delivered with the inlet valve closed, exhaust valve open and the variable volume (VV) fully screwed in. Cap plugs cover all rear panel pressure connections.

2.2 SITE REQUIREMENTS

• Gas supply up to maximum amount for model used.

2.3 INITIAL SETUP

If a DHI PK-7100-MPCD-DIF connections kit P/N 401645 was purchased with the MPC1-D, use it to make the MPC1-D connections. Refer to the kit’s instruction sheet.

All MPC1-D pressure connections are 1/8 in. NPT female. Therefore, a 1/8 in. NPT male adaptor is needed to make each of the connections. NPT connections should be sealed using an appropriate sealing tape on the threads.

Connect the SUPPLY port to a suitable source of clean, dry, non-corrosive gas. Connect the REF HI and REF LO ports to the hi and lo reference devices. These are the Tare and

Reference PG7102s if setting up a PG7102 High Line Differential Pressure calibration system. The Tare PG7102 is REF LO, the reference PG7102 is REF HI.

Connect the TEST HI and TEST LO ports to the device under test hi and lo sides. The VENT port may be connected to direct vented gases if desired, but a connection is not required.

Do not plug or shut off the VENT port.
