1Description
1.1Introduction
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.

The interface complies with IEEE 488 standard.
The IEEE 488 parallel interface connects a computer/controller to one or more PACE1000
instruments and other instruments.
Up to 30 instruments can be connected through a high-speed data bus to the computer/controller.
Note: The length of each IEEE 488 cable must be less than 3 metres to comply with the EMC
requirements (Ref: Data sheet).
Single Unit Installation (Figure 2-8)
1.Connect an IEEE 488 connector/cable assembly to the rear panel of the instrument.
2.Connect the other end of the connector/cable assembly to the IEEE 488 connector on
the controller/computer.
3.Change the IEEE 488 communication parameters (Ref: Supervisor set-up, Section 6.7).
Multiple Unit Installation (Figure 2-8)
To install multiple units use stacking plugs to link
the first instrument and second instrument as
follows:
1Connector to rear panel of first
instrument (Ref Illustration).
2Connector from controller/computer
(Ref Illustration).
3Connector to rear panel of second
instrument (Ref Illustration).
4.Connect the IEEE 488 connector on
the controller/computer and the other
connector into the next instrument.
5.Repeat this procedure for all the instruments in the system.
