Time Electronics User Manual 8030 Pressure Controller/Calibrator v1.1 3.6.1.1 Fast Mode In this mode the controller is at its fastest. The resolution is low and the stability window is wider. This means the controller can reach the set pressure quickly and remain stable. This mode is suitable for most industrial testing applications of gauges, transmitters etc.
The stable hold feature is suitable for many applications, especially when working with low resolution UUTs, when the extended resolution the 8030 displays is not required. With this setting the user returns to the Main Control Screen and selects the pressure as usual, then the controller outputs and controls to this set point.
Time Electronics User Manual 8030 Pressure Controller/Calibrator v1.1 3.6.3 Control Limit The control limit is usually set at 110% of maximum range of the unit. The control limit sets a high priority monitoring task on the controller and if the pressure at the output exceeds this amount the controller will activate the VENT port immediately.
In the Service menu, it is possible to enter a passcode for the authorised service menus. Enter code ‘48485’ for access to the Units Resolution and Network settings. For additional settings access please contact Time Electronics. 3.7.1 Units Resolution and Network settings Once accessed the user can view the pre-configured settings for unit resolution and network communications.

Time Electronics User Manual 8030 Pressure Controller/Calibrator v1.1 3.7.1.2 Units Resolution Menu The Units Resolution Menu enables user to edit the resolution settings for the pressure units displayed on the main control screen. If the Barometric Reference is present then the unit resolution for that can also be adjusted.
8030, damaging it and compromising the operation of the control valves. This may also occur when selecting negative setpoints (vacuum). The contamination trap must be placed between the 8030 and the UUT in order to avoid that liquid (water, oil etc.) and residues from these process instruments damage the internal system of the controller.
This guide will show the connections and usage with the 8030/8030B Pressure Controllers. 8030B is the module version of the 8030. The CLEAN port must be connected to the 8030 pressure controller. The DIRTY (UUT*) port must be connected to the manifold, manometer, pressure switch, transmitter or other process instruments that will be calibrated or adjusted.
4.2.1 Example Connections The 8030 should be used with a liquid trap to ensure that no contamination reaches the instrument. UUT’s can be dirty, with oil and water capable of getting into hoses and affecting instrument performance. Minimess hoses are supplied for connection from the 8030 to the 7115.
