Operating Instructions 

3.1

 

Set up 

Place the unit on a stable table. 

 

Open the 4 (four) locks and take the lid of the case. 

 

Check the calibrator for damages. 

 

Plug the power supply cable in socket at the right hand side of the unit. 

 

Control the voltage power supply indication before plug in.

Operating Instructions 

The TRAQC-8 DPC is a differential pressure calibrator with a maximum of 75 bar line pressure and is designed 
on customer request. The calibrator includes a high pressure reducer which has to be fed by an external 
pressure source of maximal 200 bar (refill connection) or by the internal gas bottles. On the pressure outlet 
of the Pressure control valve are a Supply valve,  and a high precision volume controller for fine adjustment 
of the test pressure. 

3.2.1

 

Preparations before bring on pressure to test connections 

Before set up pressure to the calibrator, ensure that: 
 

 

The Mode selector valve must be in position “Equalize” 
The sensing e and – are interconnected, so pressure is equal at both sides of 
the pressure sensor. Before switching the Mode selector valve to position “Measure”, 
make sure that both pressures at  Test + and Test – are within the measure range of the 
instrument 

 

When the calibrator will be used without external pressure supply, ensure that the gas 
bottles are filled to maximum to ensure  high pressure during the test procedure; 
See 2.3 for instructions for refilling the gas bottles 

 

When the calibrator will be used without external power supply, ensure that the battery 
of the calibrator  is charged to maximum to ensure  power during the test procedure. 
See 2.6 for instructions how to charge the battery 

 

The Heise volume controller which is needed to set a differential pressure, is turned to 
the middle of the range 
(30

 

turns clock wise from fully clockwise on) 

 

The Pressure control valve is turned fully counter clockwise 

 

The Supply valve is turned fully counter clockwise 

 

The Balance valve of the Heise volume controller must be set into vent mode (pull) 

 

The Relief (vent) valve is turned fully clockwise
