(The Series 6180 can be offered in certain ranges with higher accuracy and a 365-day recommended calibration interval.) The 9424 is housed in an aluminum chassis having dimensions of 14.02” (35.61 cm) wide, 7.55” (19.2 cm) high, and 12.42”...
  • Page 5 Baud of 57600, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Precautions: 1. The 9424 has a maximum supply pressure rating of 165 psi gauge for low- pressure instruments and 1500 psi gauge for high-pressure instruments and a recommended supply input of 110 % of the maximum installed transducer range.
  • Page 6 The Model 9424 should be installed on a level surface with adequate airflow to keep the system within its 15 to 45 C optimum operating temperature range.
  • Page 7 Long hose lengths or small hose diameters serving large volume loads may require a 9424 with separate measure and control ports and the use of a Remote Pressure Sense Manifold. (Consult the factory if the unit has difficulty controlling large volumes.)

  • Page 18 A typical operation would consist of setting up the supply, measure, and control hoses to the appropriate ports. If power is not applied to the 9424, it should be powered up. The unit will initialize into the measure mode with the initial control set point equal to the first measured pressure reading.
  • Page 19 MEASURE Port on the rear of the instrument and the 9424 needs to be powered up and left in the MEASURE mode of operation. Calibration checks can be performed with a precision pressure standard.
  • Page 20 Tuning the Model 9424 Pressure Controller When tuning the Model 9424, there are several variables to consider such as the DUT volume, pressure range and control rate from one setpoint to the next. To operate the Model 9424 efficiently, users must tune the machine to match their performance requirements.
