WARNINGS TURN OFF THE SOURCE PRESSURE(S) AND CAREFULLY VENT THE PRESSURE LINES BEFORE DISCONNECTING OR CONNECTING THE PRESSURE LINES. PROCEED WITH CARE. ONLY USE EQUIPMENT WITH THE CORRECT PRESSURE RATING. BEFORE APPLYING PRESSURE, EXAMINE ALL FITTINGS AND EQUIPMENT FOR DAMAGE. REPLACE ALL DAMAGED FITTINGS AND EQUIPMENT.

Calibration menu. Calibration Equipment The original GE Calibration Certificate shows the measurement uncertainty of the original calibration standard. To preserve uncertainty of the PACE calibration, checks and adjustments must be performed using a calibrator uncertainty of less than or equal to the original calibration standard.
PACE Controller Connection WARNING ON COMPLETION OF CALIBRATION, OPEN THE ON/OFF VALVE TO VENT TRAPPED PRESSURE FROM THE SUPPLY + PORT TO ATMOSPHERE. Connect the calibrator for each pressure range as follows: Connect the output of the pressure standard to the PACE module output port. Fit an on/off valve to the supply + input of the PACE controller.
PACE Series Calibration Manual PACE Indicator Connection Connect the indicator for each pressure range as follows: Connect the output of the pressure standard to the indicator port. Gauge Reference If the pressure standard has a reference connection, then connect this to the indicator reference port.
Calibration Check (All Ranges) Note: The PACE adds the barometric reading to a gauge range to produce an absolute range. Procedure Set the calibrator to measure mode: Connect calibration standard for the pressure range to be checked. Press Task and select Basic. With the pressure standard connected to the correct pressure port, select Measured Pressure and press Range to select the gauge pressure range to be checked.
PACE Series Calibration Manual Calibration Adjustment To adjust a calibration range of the calibrator, proceed as follows: Connect the calibrator for the range to be adjusted, as detailed in Calibration Check. Note: The calibration adjustments may be carried out in any order. Select Measured Pressure/Global Set-up/Calibration, enter the Calibration PIN (4321).
