  • Page 4 Multi-Channel Pressure Test System General Description: The Mensor Model 9415 Multi-Channel Pressure Test System is used for rapid testing of pressure transducers. It can be a single or dual rack configured with two, four, or six control channels. The model 9414 (quad or dual) controllers provide the control channels.
  • Page 5 The power cable used is rated for 15 amp service. The Model 9415 system has a power cut off switch located on the top of the left rack which connects/disconnects the power to the rack’s “Electrical Junction Box”. This box provides a constant AC power supply to the Model 9414 controllers and houses electronics for the relay control of the vacuum pump’s AC power supply.
