Page 38: High Pcu Fall-Rate
P3000 Series Users Manual High PCU Fall-Rate The piston will always fall slowly as the gas passes between the piston and cylinder. However, this fall rate will never be so fast that a stable reading cannot be made. 1. The system may be leaking. Check that exhaust valve is fully closed, and test port connections are correctly made. -
