RUSKA 7050, 7050i & 7050LP Users Manual Keep Away from Live Circuits Operating personnel must at all times observe safety regulations. Do not replace components or make adjustments inside the equipment with the voltage supply connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous potentials may exist when the power control is in the off position due to charges retained by capacitors.
It is also used to monitor barometric pressures, vacuum systems, and differential pressure devices. Features The following features are available on all RUSKA 7050 PPIs. Fused-Quartz Bourdon Tube Technology (5 - 2500 psi full scale ranges), RUSKA’s force-balanced, fused-quartz Bourdon tube sensor makes use of the stability, high elasticity, low hysteresis, and excellent fatigue strength of fused quartz.

Zeroing Fluke recommends that the PPI be zeroed once a day to maintain optimal performance. The zero drift specification is defined in Appendix A under General Specifications. Refer to Chapter 6, Zeroing, for the zeroing procedure. On gauge mode instruments, the zeroing procedure automatically ties both test and reference ports of the RUSKA quartz sensor together and performs the zeroing routine.

Chapter 6 Maintenance Introduction Very little maintenance is required for the PPI. This section of the manual discusses suggested maintenance procedures. Observing the Software Version Number Follow the steps below to observe the PPI’s software version number. 1. If necessary, press PREVIOUS] several times to return the display to the Main Menu. 2.
RUSKA 7050, 7050 & 7050LP Users Manual glc27.bmp Figure 6-1. Menu | Test | Self - Menu 3. Press ELECTRICAL [F1]. The electronics self test will run and display the results. 4. Press PREVIOUS to return to the previous screen.
Maintenance Calibration Moisture Filter The Bourdon tube sensor is hydroscopic. An external desiccant filter prevents introduction of moisture and is strongly recommended for high humidity areas. The filter should be replaced annually. The moisture filter is used with the reference port only (absolute only instruments do not need a moisture filter).
RUSKA 7050, 7050 & 7050LP Users Manual Calibration Instructions To calibrate the PPI, the user connects a calibration standard such as the RUSKA Instrument Model 2465 (or 2470 for high pressure ranges) Gas Piston Gauge to the PPI’s test port, then follow the multi-step calibration procedure on the PPI’s display. The standard PPI requires a positive pressure calibration.
Page 65
Maintenance Calibration Note To exit the calibration procedure before the calibration coefficients have been changed, press [CANCEL] any time during the procedure. Canceling restores all previous calibration values. Step 1 1. To begin Step 1 of the calibration process, select the Zeroset [F1] button. The zero procedure will start when the reading is in-range and stable or when OK [F6] is pressed.
Page 66
RUSKA 7050, 7050 & 7050LP Users Manual 2. The Step 1, actual value will be highlight. This is your first pressure point in the calibration procedure. Note If the PPI has the Vacuum (Negative Gauge Option) or the Barometric reference, the first two points in the procedure will show the negative pressures that should be generated to calibrate the sensor in the negative gauge direction.
Maintenance Calibration Storing the Coefficients Step 4 Calibration is complete. To exit the calibration procedure without storing the calibration coefficients in memory, press CANCEL. To store the calibration coefficients in memory, select the Done [F6] key and the PPI will calculate all of its new coefficients. Note In additional to saving the calibration coefficients to the PPI's memory, the user is advised to separately record the calibration coefficients and store...
RUSKA 7050, 7050 & 7050LP Users Manual To calibrate in Vacuum mode with the configuration shown in Figure 6-3, the following actions should be taken. The system pressure and vacuum inlet valve should remain closed. The bottom side of the piston must be open (vented) to atmosphere and connected to the reference port of the DUT.
Maintenance Calibration 11. The RPT sensor is now linearly compensated. Once the calibration procedure is complete, the user should verify several pressure readings against the pressure standard. If there are variances beyond the stated precision, then an error was probably made in generating one of the calibration pressures, and the calibration procedure should be repeated.
RUSKA 7050, 7050 & 7050LP Users Manual Zeroing The zeroing procedure is performed to correct for system zero shift and does not require a full calibration. The most important requirement for performing a valid zeroing procedure is to guarantee that there is not a pressure differential between the sensor’s test port and case reference.
Maintenance Calibration 6-5.bmp Figure 6-5. Zero Set Absolute Instruments A vacuum pump must be connected to the reference port. A vacuum gauge should be installed for measuring the case reference pressure. This gauge should be installed as close to the sensor as possible. There is an 1/8-inch NPT fitting available for this installation inside the PPI near the sensor 1.
RUSKA 7050, 7050 & 7050LP Users Manual RPT — Simulated Absolute Instruments Simulated absolute PPI’s contain two sensors that require periodic zeroing. The primary sensor is zeroed according to the instructions in Chapter 6, Gauge and Vacuum (Negative Gauge) Instruments, or Chapter 6, Absolute Instruments. The barometric sensor is zeroed according to the following instructions.

Maintenance Sensor Photocell Zeroing 6-6.bmp Figure 6-6. Photocell Zeroing Menu 7. Referring to Figure 6-6, slightly loosen the Allen screw on the back of the sensor bracket, making sure to maintain a snug fit on the screw. Using the T-shaped Photocell Centering Tool (part # 7250-111), adjust the photocells by placing the tool in the hole in the back of the sensor and turning the tool slightly.

RUSKA 7050, 7050 & 7050LP Users Manual 9. Tighten the Allen screw. 10. Often, when the Allen screw is tightened, the zero will move. Review the width of the yellow line, again loosen the Allen screw, and now offset the yellow bar the same width that you observed it moving from tightening the Allen screw, and now offset it in the opposite direction by this same width.
Maintenance Fan Operation Fan Operation The fan in the 7050 can be turned on or off. It is recommended to keep the fan ON since this will extend the life of the power supply. When operating the system in either a very cold or hot environment, if the oven is unable to maintain the temperature of the internal oven, it will generate error Oven Control Failure Error messages.

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

Appendix A Summary of Specifications Uncertainty Analysis To perform an Uncertainty Analysis on a measurement device, you must be able to identify all of the parameters that influence the measurement. You must be able to quantify the magnitude of the potential error source and combine these into an overall uncertainty statement.
Page 82
RUSKA 7050, 7050i & 7050LP Users Manual characteristics of their device. Some manufacturers identify that their stability specification is proportional with time. Therefore, if the calibration interval were reduced in half, the magnitude of the stability specification would also be halved. This can be a powerful tool when you are trying to improve the measurement performance of a standard.
Page 83
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 Calibration 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.
