Instructions for use PCE-PDA 1. GENERAL These instructions for use describes the functions of the digital pressure gauge PCE-PDA and provide the user directions for its use. 1.1. SAFETY WARNING Incorrect use of the digital pressure gauge PCE-PDA or non-performance of these instructions can result in damage of the instrument or an injury of the operator.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 1.2.3. SYMBOLS The below mentioned symbols are used in these instructions for use to indicate the cases when incorrect activity might result in the following difficulties: PROHIBITIONS – non-observance of them could result in bodily harm or to irretrievable damage of the PCE-PDA gauge.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 1.3. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION The digital pressure gauge series PCE-PDA is a battery portable service and workshop device, intended for a wide use in industry, energetics, medical technology, air-conditioning, laboratories, etc. It is also suitable for the 4Pa test. Its advantages are especially measuring accuracy, a wide pressure range, possibility of a ten-times increase of sensibility, simple operation, small dimensions, low consumption, a big amount of additional functions, USB communication through a standard microUSB cable.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 2. CONTROL PCE-PDA is controlled by means of a 9-button foil keyboard, situated on the front side of the gauge. ▪ On/Off (14) – serves for switching on and off of the gauge. For switching it on/off, it is necessary to hold the button for 0.25s.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 3. MENU The menu is entered by means of the menu (13) button. This way are displayed the actual possible adjustments and accessible functions of the given version of PCE-PDA. Cursor is moved by means of the <^v> (16) buttons and the values are confirmed by the OK (15) button.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 3.2. DAMPING Damping in the PCE-PDA gauge is realized by means of an adjustable time constant, in the range 0.1 – 9.9 second. It is possible to switch it on/off directly from the menu or whenever during the measuring by means of the <...
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 3.4. FUNCTIONS 3.4.1. TEMPERATURE It is possible to display the temperature on the pressure sensor bridge on the secondary display (10). While measuring the medium pressure with the same temperature as the environment, we can say that it is the orienteering temperature of the environment. The temperature is given in degrees of Celsius.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 3.4.3. LEAKAGE TEST This enables the user measuring of a pressure change in the adjusted time period (test time). The test is started by the ^START button. If the test time is adjusted to 00:00:00, the test runs to pressing the vSTOP button, otherwise it is stopped automatically according to the adjusted time.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 3.4.4. SPEED/FLOW (Root function) The PCE-PDA gauge carries out the calculation of the flow speed on the basis of measuring the differential pressure on the plate. These plates can for example be Pitot´s tube, Prandtl´s tube or another throttling organ. The plate properties are represented by the K constant and a power constant x.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 3.5. DATALOGGER Datalogger is not fitted in the basic version of the PCE-PDA pressure gauge. So it is an optional accessory. ▪ Number of records in one or up to 1000 sets. ▪ Measuring time 1s to 256 hours. If the measuring time is 000:00:00, the record runs till pressing the REC OFFv or STOPv button (leakage test, datalogger) or filling up the memory.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 3.7. CALENDAR/HOURS The time is stated in the format hh:mm:ss The date in the format dd:mm:yyyy The information about the date and the time disappears immediately after disconnecting from the power supply – unplugging or total discharging of the batteries/accumulators or disconnecting from USB.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 6. DMS CONTROL – SOFTWARE Software DMS Control is a freeware (compatible with Win XP and newer) determined to control handheld pressure gauge PCE-PDA, but primarily serves for downloading and saving data from PCE-PDA datalogger memory to PC. Picture 10 6.1.
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 6.2. DESCRIPTION The DMS-control window is divided into two logical ones sections. In left column is displayed the type of connected device and below it, are displayed record sets. (Picture 10). ▪ NO Loaded record set (gray) – displays only record set name (date and time) ▪...
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 6.3. FUNCTION ▪ Refresh records – key F5 reload record sets ▪ Erase memory – or key Delete deletes data from PCE-PDA datlogger. Erasing is blocked by popup window with question, whether user really wants to delete data. ▪...
Instructions for use PCE-PDA 7. WARRANTY You can read our warranty terms in our General Business Terms which you can find here: https://www.pce-instruments.com/english/terms. 8. DISPOSAL For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies.
