2.2.1
Measurement of external test pressures
It is also possible to measure pressures generated by external systems. In this case the reducer
and the gas bottle will not be used. All control valves will have to be closed.
2.3
Instructions for the refilling of the gas bottles
The refilling of the gas bottles can be done by using either another bottle or a high pressure
compressor. The maximal refilling pressure is 200 and the capacity is 2 liters.
When the refilling is done from another bottle, the included RU 3 connector can be used.
The refilling by a high pressure compressor can be made by a direct connection.
•
Close both the “bottle shut off valve” and the “pressure shut off valve”.
•
Increase the “reducer” to a the maximum.
•
Open the “bleed valve”.
•
Connect the filling hose to the ‘refill connection’.
•
Set the compressor or the external bottle to a maximum of 200 bar.
•
Slowly open the “bottle shut off valve”. The gas bottle will be refilled and the
pressure of the bottle can be checked on the manometer.
•
Slowly let the gas bottle be refilled. A quick refilling will increase the temperature.
An increase in temperature will affect the pressure by increasing it. This means no
optimal filling will be obtained.
•
Close the gas ‘bottle shut off valve” and shut
-off the compressor.
•
To get the filling hose free of pressure, decrease the “reducer” to a minimum and
open the ‘Pressure shut off valve’
•
Then disconnect the filling hose.
2.4
End of use
•
Close the “bottle shut off valve”
•
Open the “bleed valve”.
•
Set the “reducer” to a minimum.
•
Open the “pressure shut of valve”.
•
Disconnect the unit under test from the unit.
•
Disconnect the test hoses and put them in the carrying case in the lid of the 8185.
•
Place the cover of the TRAQC-8 back on and close the four locks.
2.5
Storage
End the utilization of the TRAQC-8 as follows:
•
Store it indoors, in a temperature between 0 and 60° Celsius.
•
Decrease the “reducer” turning it fully anti clock wise
•
Open both the “bleed valve” and the “pressure shut off valve”.
•
Empty the internal gas bottles by slowly o
pening the “bottle shut off valve”.
•
Place the cover of the 8185 back on and close the four locks.
•
Place the case a horizontal position.
Equipment which has rechargeable batteries will need to be stored with fully charged batteries,
charging and discharging of batteries one every 3 months is advised.
When connected to the mains power a trickle charge will be maintained.
