Page 8: Warnings And Caution Notices
Do not disconnect any pressure connection of the Traqc-8 DPC when a leak test of any kind is processing. Physical injury may exceed when process connections will be disconnected, caused by the expanding gas. -
Page 9: Traqc-8 Dpc Description
Two high pressure gas bottles With the TRAQC-8 DPC it is possible to measure differential pressures generated by the built-in gas bottles as well with test pressures which are generated by an external pressure source. The test and filling hoses are stored in a case in the lid of the carrying case. -

Page 36: Calibration Of Traqc-8 Dpc
TRAQC-8 DPC 4.10 Calibration of TRAQC-8 DPC The TRAQC-8 DPC 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-8 DPC. - Page 37 After entering all milliamp. input data, the TRAQC-8 DPC will confirm at the last ‘ENTER’ key (F1) with a long beep, and automatically revert to the “adjust instrument inputs” menu.
- Page 38 The only thing critical for the calibration is that exactly the value of the applied pressure is entered, when the TRAQC-8 DPC requests “Input Actual value” When the two pressures applied are to close in range of one another, the TRAQC-8 DPC will not accept the data and requests if another attempt should be done.
