Safety inside the 9476 chassis. WARNING! Any maintenance or troubleshooting should be performed by technicians knowledgeable in pneumatic pressure instrumentation and AC powered electronic equipment. WARNING! The unit weighs approximately 40 lbs. and is intended as a ‘two person lift.’ HOT! Some moving mechanical devices contained within the chassis (specifically solenoid valves) can build up excessive heat during continuous operation.
Initial setup 3. Initial setup Unpacking and initial setup The initial installation should include removing any packing material used in shipment and inspect that fittings and screws are snug, and that hoses and electrical cords are not chaffed or cut. The Model 9476 should be installed on a level surface (bench top or rack) with adequate airflow to keep the system within its 15 to 45 C optimum operating temperature range.
Front panel operation Operation Generally, once configured, the system requires power, clean dry pressure media, and possibly a vacuum source for sub-atmospheric control and near-atmospheric control. Start up operation commences when power is applied using the rear panel power switch. ■...
Installation 4. Panel operation Panel overview 4.1.1 Front panel The front panel contains a color LCD monitor with touch screen along with a blue power LED indicator. Manual operation of the 9476 is through the front panel using the touch screen interface. The features provided on the touch screen are listed in the general operations section.
Front Panel Operation The unit powers up into the default operating screen in the default mode of measure and with the control set point equal to the first barometric reading measured. The screen is divided into 2 primary sections, each with various sub-sections and a fixed model header across the top of the screen.
Pressure units are set by tapping the button of the desired unit. Use the buttons with left and right pointing arrows to scroll ■ through the list of available pressure units. The buttons with single arrows scroll a single page at a time. The buttons with double arrows jump to the first or last page of units.
transducers installed, current solenoid routing, and current barometric pressure. The min/max values will be based on the smallest range transducer channel currently installed and routed to the PREF channel. The ranges of the absolute transducer channels are also limited by the corresponding differential range. Vent mode is used to release the control channel pressure to atmosphere through the vent port on the rear panel.
4.4.4 System Info The Info category displays system details including model number, instrument software version, serial number and details about each transducer installed in the unit. Each transducer info panel displays the model, firmware version, serial number, date of calibration, pressure range, and native pressure units. The dual transducer panels will display two ranges for absolute and gauge designated by an “A”...
▶ Remote communication uses case-insensitive ASCII commands and queries. ▶ Communication is identical regardless of connection method used (e.g.: serial or ethernet). ▶ All commands and queries sent to the 9476 should be terminated with a carriage return (0x0D) and line feed (0x0A) pair. All responses are terminated with a carriage return and line feed pair.

STATUS? RDGS? Example Meta-Queries: ■ XSPD# HCGRAVITY+ AUXCONN$ A single asterisk (*) followed by CRLF can be sent to the unit to get a comma separated list of all valid remote commands. Each command name will have a suffix of all the query characters supported by that message. If the message refers to a saved configuration value there will also be a caret (^) symbol in the suffix list.
