POWER UP!
You can confirm that your PCS 400 is operational
right now. Simply apply power to the power con-
nector on the rear of the instrument, remove any
plastic plugs from the PRESSURE and REFER-
ENCE ports and turn the power switch ON. When
the PCS 400 is turned on it goes through an initiali-
zation process which includes scanning the inter-
nal configuration for file code errors.
About one minute after power is applied the full
display will come on. With no pressure connected,
an absolute instrument of sufficient range will dis-
play atmospheric pressure, while a gauge instru-
ment will display at or very near zero pressure. In
any case the pressure will be displayed in the
measurement units that were specified when the
instrument was ordered.
This confirms that the unit is ready to use. If this
is your first time to use a PCS 400 please review the
Warnings and Cautions information inside the
front cover. Then take the time to familiarize your-
self with the Installation and Operation sections of
this manual and the ‘Menu Tree’ provided there. Te
tree illustrates the command structure and the
functions available from the front panel keypad.

PCS 400 EVOLUTION
Since its introduction in the PCS 400 has undergone
a continuous process of evolution. Many changes
have been in response to special application re-
quirements expressed by our customers. Once they
are designed these ‘specials’ are either incorpo-
rated into the standard system, or made available
as options to other users with similar require-
ments. All customers are welcome to discuss their
unique requirements. We may already have a solu-
tion, or we can provide one.The system has proven
to be extremely flexible in this way because of the
modularity of both the software and the hardware.
