2.3.6.2 CAL Mode Inputs
The 9016 model tubing plates contain inputs labeled CAL and CAL REF. When the module’s
internal calibration valve is placed in the CAL/RE-ZERO position, all DH200 transducer
pressure inputs are pneumatically connected to the CAL input port. All DH200 reference inputs
are pneumatically connected to the CAL REF input port. The CAL input may be used to
perform on-line zero adjustment of the transducers. The CAL input may also be used for DH200
span adjustment calibrations and accuracy tests if appropriate pressure calibrators (such as the
903x series) are available. Span calibration of multi-range scanners may also utilize the CAL
port if the highest applied pressure does not exceed the proof pressure rating of any other
installed transducer, otherwise the individual transducers must be calibrated with the valve in the
RUN position.
When the internal calibration valve is in the CAL/RE-ZERO position, the RUN inputs (RUN
REF and numbered input ports) are pneumatically dead-ended to prevent migration of
contaminants into the instrument.
2.3.6.3 PURGE Mode Inputs
All standard 9016 models contain a purge/leak check option. The purge option allows users to
apply positive pressure to the PURGE input which will then be vented out of the user input
ports, forcing contaminants (such as moisture) out of the pneumatic input lines. Note that on
common reference 9016 scanners, only the numbered input ports will be purged (RUN
REF is not purged). True differential 9016 scanners will purge both the run and reference input
ports for all channels. The purge supply provided to the 9016 must always be a higher
pressure than the highest pressure present on the input ports of the module. The purge
supply must also be capable of maintaining proper purge pressure at the high flow rates
encountered while the module is in the purge mode.
When commanded into the PURGE position, the purge input pressure will be connected to the
numbered measurement input ports allowing for a flow of air away from the instrument. The
purge cycle should be terminated by commanding the 9016 into a non-purge mode such as CAL.
Purge cycles should never be terminated by turning off the purge supply air while in the
purge position.
Warning: Failure to provide proper purge supply pressure will
result in migration of moisture and contaminants into the 9016
module which can result in permanent damage to module
components.
