(3) to the maximum admissible pressure for the "unit under test". Then close the “vacuum shut off valve” again. While the system is under vacuum pressure, check with the TRAQC-9 P if there is any leakage; this becomes apparent by an extreme change of pressure.
TRAQC-9 2.5 TRAQC-9 CPC Pneumatic Controller The TRAQC-9 CPC is a pressure controller, ranging from 0 to 10 bar depending on the range of the selected reducer and is suitable for a so-called "dead end" system. The controller is equipped with a fine regulating reducer. The reducer has to be fed from an external pneumatic pressure supply with a maximum pressure of 10 bar.
TRAQC-9 2.6 TRAQC-9 CLPC Low Pressure Controller The TRAQC-9 CLPC is a low pressure controller, ranging from 0 to 1000 mbar and is suitable for a so-called "dead end" system. Integrated in the controller are a small manually operated pump and a volume regulator for generating and regulating the test pressure.
TRAQC-9 2.7 TRAQC-9 CHPC High Pressure Controller The TRAQC-9 CHPC is a high pressure controller, ranging from 0 to 350 bar, depending on the range of the selected reducer and is suitable for a so-called "dead end" system. The calibrator is equipped with a high pressure reducer. The reducer has to be fed from an external high pressure supply with a maximum pressure of 350 bar.
TRAQC-9 2.8 TRAQC-9 CVC The TRAQC-9 CVC vacuum pressure controller, ranging -1 to 0 bar gauge and is suitable for a so-called "dead end" system. The calibrator is equipped with two fine regulating needle valves and a Polyflo test couplings.
3. Operating Instructions 3.1 Power On/Off The TRAQC-9 is switched on and off by pressing the on/off key. The TRAQC-9 will go through a short startup self-check routine. During that routine the display shows the current firmware. After completing the startup procedures the device switches into the measuring mode and displays the measured value(s), and the measuring unit(s) from last time.
When zeroing the ‘Pressure Input’, ensure that the pressure ports are open to atmospheric pressure. The TRAQC-9 P comes standard with a quick connect coupling with integraded shut off valve. This can be opened by: Connect/insert the other half of the coupling to the pressure coupling (-port) of the TRAQC-9 P ...
‘ENTER’ key (F1) to confirm, press the ‘BACK’ key (F3) to cancel. 3.5.1 Selecting Pressure sensor Auto ranging The TRAQC-9 P can also be equipped with two pressure ranges and one pressure connection for measuring test pressure. The TRAQC-9 P is configured to automatically switch the measuring range.
To change the number of digits (from 3 to 6) select “resolution setup” in the “pressure setup” menu and use the ‘ARROW’ keys to change the number of digits, confirm by pressing the ‘ENTER’ key (F1) page : 22 TRAQC-9 04/2017 EN Rev.4...
The density of seawater for the region where the pressure indicator is used can be set here. When a test pressure is set, the TRAQC-9 P can calculate the pressure into meters under water. The density of the seawater will differ in different parts of the world and the value has to be adjusted for correcting for the pressure under water.
In the next screen a value can be entered from 0.1 to 99.9% FS using the ‘ARROW’ keys. The entered time and the limit will be saved in the internal memory and will be used immediately to switch the Xmtr supply on or off. page : 24 TRAQC-9 04/2017 EN Rev.4...
‘UNLOCK’ key (F3) as shown in the display. The TRAQC-9 uses the status of the switch when the switch function is enabled as the reference status, after this the TRAQC-9 responds to changes in the status.
With this function the user can set the conversion factors for the mA or V scaling. The display of the scaled mA (or V) can be in a pressure unit or a percentage (%) but also in percentage error of the unit under test. page : 26 TRAQC-9 04/2017 EN Rev.4...
V xmtr mode On/Off In “mA source” the TRAQC-9 will supply electrical power and control the mA output. (effectively a controlled current source). In mA simulator an external electrical power supply is required, and the TRAQC-9 will only control the mA output.
Values in excess of the standard range of 0 - 24 mA will be refused: when ENTERED the instrument will refuse and display: “Invalid entry”. The display will wait for a valid entry before proceeding to next entry. page : 28 TRAQC-9 04/2017 EN Rev.4...
‘ENTER’ key (F1). Automatically the “Step time entry” panel is displayed: Enter the required step time in seconds, using the ‘ARROW’ keys. Press ‘ENTER’ key (F1) to confirm. Select “off”: the function has been disabled. page : 29 TRAQC-9 04/2017 EN Rev.4...

TRAQC-9 4.8 Calibration of TRAQC-9 The TRAQC-9 is calibrated by Tradinco Instruments B.V. to achieve the stated accuracy. The calibration report is supplied with the instrument. The user cannot change these factory adjustments. However, it is possible to make adjustments within the predetermined accuracy limits and calibrate the TRAQC-9.
After entering all milliamp. input data, the TRAQC-9 will confirm at the last ‘ENTER’ key (F1) with a long beep, and automatically revert to the “adjust instrument inputs” menu.
TRAQC-9 requests “Input Actual value” When the two pressures applied are to close in range of one another, the TRAQC-9 will not accept the data and requests if another attempt should be done.
All adjustments as described in the following chapters are “two point” adjustments: one at minimum value, and one at maximum value. Based on these two points, TRAQC-9 will extrapolate all intermediate data. 4.8.2.1 Current source In order to calibrate the mA signal in source mode, connect the ‘PLUS’...
TRAQC-9 4.8.2.3 Voltage output In order to calibrate the Voltage signal, connect the ‘PLUS’ and ‘MINUS’ 4mm banana sockets of the TRAQC-9 to a multi meter with higher specifications than the TRAQC-9. Correct the output signal by using the ‘ARROW’ keys.
With AutoCal software installed on the computer it is possible to electronically communicate and retrieve a measurement value. It is also possible to control the TRAQC-9 P or MAVS with the AutoCal software. For this communication the TRAQC-9 makes use of a RS232 or Ethernet interface.
Adjust the 11mm gland compressor nut. Adjustment must be made in order that a light friction is detected when turning the control knob. When ready tighten the lock nut again. A spare part kit with new needle and seats is available at Tradinco Instruments page : 40 TRAQC-9 04/2017 EN Rev.4...
