Mass Sets

5.4.1

Cleaning

Care should always be taken with all PG9000 masses, including the piston assembly and the
mass loading bell, to avoid contaminating them with liquids or particles. They should never
be handled with bare hands.
Over time, or by an accidental incident, masses may become soiled. In these cases, they
can be cleaned.
Masses should be cleaned with a non-abrasive general purpose cleaner (such as glass
cleaner) and wiped dry with lint free paper towels.
Cleaning masses can change mass values. If knowledge of as received
condition of the masses is required then masses should be cleaned after
as received mass determination is taken and before as left mass
determination.

Recalibration

See Section 5.3.5.

Updating Embedded Software for PG9000
PG9000 uses FLASH memory. This allows the embedded software that controls PG9000 operations and
functions to be written to the PG9000 over its COM1 port from a computer using the WinFlash
program.
To replace corrupted software or upgrade your software, two pieces are required – the binary software file
for PG9600 and the WinFlash
from the "Service and Support" link. Be careful that the "PG7000 / PG9000" package is used as "PG7000"
by itself is only for the older revisions of the PG7000 family of piston gauges.
Do not power down the PG9000 while upgrading the software.
upgrade software to a newer version. Never backwards flash to an earlier
version unless explicitly instructed to do so. After the upgrade, a message
on the PG9000 terminal may indicate "PL REPROGRAMMING! TAKES 30
SEC". Do not power down while this message is displayed. A message will
follow instructing when programming is complete to cycle the PG9000
power.
The Fluke Calibration flash software loading utility and PG9000 embedded
software are available for download from the Service and Support section
of Fluke Calibration's worldwide web site at www.flukecal.com.
