Prologue Thank you for buying the Beamex PGL Calibration Pump. The Beamex PGL Calibration Pump can be used to generate accurate and stable reference pressure for low pressure calibrations on range ±400 mbar / ±160 iwc. The innovative design and material choices minimize the impact of environmental temperature changes during calibration.
Prologue - 4 Unpacking and Inspection At the factory, each new PGL Calibration Pump passes a careful inspection. The receiver should, however, inspect the unit for any damage that may have occurred during transportation. If there are signs of obvious mechanical damage and/or the package contents are incomplete, contact the purchasing sales office as soon as possible.

About the PGL - 10 Figure 3: Readjust the Cylinder to Achieve a More Ergonomic Way of Working Note: Vent the pump by turning the Fine Adjust Knob counterclockwise until the threads become visible and then rotate 1-3 rounds more.
Connect the calibrator (pressure measurement module) and the instrument to be calibrated (device to be tested) to the pressure output fitting using the Beamex 40 bar pressure T-hose or similar. If needed, compensate the small pressure offset by turning the Fine Adjust Knob counterclockwise until the output pressure is 0 barg / 0 iwcg.
Connect the calibrator (pressure module, reference) and the instrument to be calibrated (device to be tested) to the pressure output fitting using the Beamex low pressure hose (max 40 bar) or similar. If needed, compensate the small pressure offset by turning the Fine Adjust Knob counterclockwise until the output pressure is 0 barg / 0 iwcg.
• For a system with a very large volume, the PGL can only make small pressure adjustments and you may not reach the maximum pressure specified for the PGL.

Maintenance - 15 Maintenance Cleaning Instructions If any parts of the PGL require cleaning, use a cloth damped with an alcohol- based solvent. Alternatively, use a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide or a mild solution of soapy water. Never use strong detergents.
Replacing the Piston, Piston Seals or other Parts PGL Seal service kit (8003710) PGL Coarse Adjust service kit (8003720) Rotate the Coarse Adjust Handwheel counterclockwise to the maximum. It is important that the piston is located as close as possible to the body end cap of the Coarse Adjust not to damage the cylinder when removing the subassembly from the pump.

Maintenance - 17 Rotate the body end cap outwards with your hand. When it is fully open, gently pull the Coarse Adjust subassembly out. Figure 6: Removal of the Coarse Adjust Subassembly Replace the seals only or replace all parts with new ones included in the service kit.
Tighten the body end cap with the opening tool. Replacing the Coarse Adjust Handwheel PGL Coarse Adjust Handwheel (8003715) Loosen the small hex screw located at the bottom of the handwheel. Replace the old handwheel with a new one and tighten the hex screw.
Service Related to Fine Adjust PGL Seal service kit (8003710) PGL Fine Adjust service kit (8003725) Rotate the Fine Adjust Knob counterclockwise to the maximum. It is important that the piston is located as close as possible to the body end cap of the Fine Adjust not to damage the cylinder when removing the subassembly from the pump.

Maintenance - 21 When the new parts are assembled, turn the Fine Adjust Knob counterclockwise to the maximum until the piston is locked to the body end cap. Figure 14: Fine Adjust Subassembly Install the subassembly in its place on the threads at the end of the Fine Adjust cylinder.
PGL Support Leg (8003730) Please notice that this item only includes one installation collar, one support leg and mounting screws. You have to order two PGL support legs if you need to replace both legs. Unscrew the 4 mm hex screws located under the leg.
