The table below gives the steps of densimeter testing :
Step Action Comment/Diagram
1 Connect a test lamp to the
“Alarm pressure for t he insula-
tion” p
ae
densimeter threshold.
Connection to the terminal block of
the operating mechanism in accor-
dance with the electrical diagram.
2 Calculate the effective pres-
sure at which the “Alarm pres-
sure for the insulation” p
ae
con-
tact switches over -- corrected
in keeping with temperature
and local atmospheric pres-
sure.

3 D Create a leak by screwing
the “REGULATION” knurl knob
(20) of the threshold inspection
assembly (4), making sure that
the contact switches over at
the previously calculated val-
ue.

check the contact of “Minimal
pressure for the insulation”
