This sensor provides the barometric offset that allows the Gauge mode Calibrator to function in an Absolute system. A RUSKA 7252 must have a minimum full scale pressure range of 14.7 psig (101 kPa) in order to be configured to operate in the simulated absolute mode using the barometric reference sensor.
Pneumatics Module Single Test Port Operation - Option Some versions of the RUSKA 7252 allow the instrument to be set-up where the test port of both controllers are connected together. This can be permanently set at the factory or on units ordered with this option, a user selectable flag set in [MENU] Menu | Setup | System | Config, allows the system to operate in this mode.
RUSKA 7252 Users Manual In Gauge mode, if the Calibrator will not be used to control pressures at or very near atmospheric pressure, then the Exhaust Port should simply be left open to atmosphere. Likewise, in Absolute mode, if the Calibrator will not be used to control pressures at or below atmospheric pressure, the same rule would apply.
This can cause control problems such as overshoot. This can be realigned using the Auto-Tune feature. See Chapter 6, Maintenance, for details on the Auto-Tune functions of the RUSKA 7252. PID Control The outer loop pressure controller is a form of PID control executed every 100 milliseconds (10 times per second).
RUSKA 7252 Users Manual Transducer Module Quartz Bourdon Tube Sensor (Transducer01) The quartz Bourdon tube sensor is mounted in a machined aluminum housing. The sensor consists of a helical quartz tube with a mirror affixed to one end, as shown in Figure 2-5.
Therefore, for the RUSKA 7252, a 5 point calibration is performed and for the RUSKA 7252i, a 9 point calibration is performed to fully characterize the RUSKA quartz sensors.
Menu | Menu | Display | Temp. With an exception of the 3000 psi (20.7 MPa) version RUSKA 7252, the high accuracy quartz sensor is housed in a temperature controlled oven. There is a 3 hour warm-up time required prior to the Calibrator operating at its optimum precision.
Theory of Operation Software C. The Duty Cycle indicates the amount of time (in units of percentage) that the oven control is turned on in order to maintain the oven at the proper set-point of 50 C. A unit that is operating properly, after it has fully warmed up, should indicate a sensor temperature of 50 C and a duty cycle between 10% to 90%.

Press the Mode key to switch between two pressure channels.
RUSKA 7252 Users Manual Control Band There are two common pressure control approaches that are available with the RUSKA 7252 Calibrator. One of the most common control styles is an Active controller where the controller remains operative and holds the pressure at a commanded set-point. This allows the system to hold the pressure at a set-point within the control stability specification (See Appendix A).
Local Operation Menu Slew Rate User defined maximum pressure rate of change. The Calibrator is designed to control with minimum overshoot into a wide variety of external volumes at its highest slew rate. Therefore, in most applications it is recommended that the slew rate be set at its maximum rate value.

The governing discipline in ensuring a damage-free shipment is to ensure that the possibility of handling shocks to the Calibrator is minimized and/or prevented during transit. Fluke accomplishes this task by cradling the Calibrator within two foam cradles that are encapsulated within a double-walled, corrugated box. The Calibrator is restrained and supported, but still has resilience.

RUSKA 7252 Users Manual Long Term Stability Long term stability defines how the instrument drifts with time. This specification can be utilized to define the calibration interval for the standard. Some manufacturers will provide more than one stability specification for their instrument based on different calibration time intervals.
Page 121
In this approach, it is important to define the level of confidence that all of the uncertainty components are defined. For instance, all of the uncertainty specifications that Fluke publishes are at the 2 sigma level which would be at a 95% confidence level. Some manufacturers may state their uncertainty at different confidence level and therefore, you would need to be able to convert from one to the other in order to compare the two devices.
