PRESSURE UNITS
Choose the engineering units for the pressure display. See the specification table on
page 96 for available units.
REGULATOR 2
Selects the second internal regulator (if fitted), or an external regulator. Electrical or
pneumatic outputs may be programmed to select an external regulator.
Options:
o NO: regulator 1 is used for the test.
o YES: regulator 2 is used for the test
o PREFILL: not intended for use with this test type. Regulator 1 will be used.
o FILL: not intended for use with this test type. Regulator 2 will be used.
PEAK VALUE
The ramp test has the option to use either the peak pressure value that was reached
before the test ends, or the final pressure value.
Options:
o No: the measured pressure at the end of the test is used for the comparison
against fail limits.
o Yes: the peak pressure is latched and used for the comparison against fail
limits. This is more useful for test items that cause the pressure to fall when
they actuate.
SENSITIVITY
At the start of the test the pressure ramp rate is measured. A change or ramp rate or an
external signal triggers the end of the test. A sensitivity of 100% will latch any
deviation from the initial ramp. A sensitivity of 1% will require the ramp to almost
flatten before latching occurs.
Set the sensitivity to zero to disable the slope check and only use the external signal
(typically a switch contact). The state of the external signal is checked at the start of
the test, and the test ends when the signal changes state.
FAIL HIGH
Set the maximum pressure level. If the latched pressure is above this level then a +fail
is indicated.
FAIL LOW
Set the minimum pressure level. If the latched pressure is below this level then a -fail
is indicated.
HOLD OFF
Sets the time delay after the test has started to allow valves to actuate and the pressure
ramp to start. This time is normally very short, typically 0.1 second.
