PACE5000/6000 Options
Switch test
Switch test automates the testing of pressure switch devices.
Following the test, the pressure at which contacts open andclose and the switch hysteresis is displayed. Switch test task
can also be set to repeat several times to exercise a switch
or capture switch toggle maximum, minimum and averagevalues.

Leak test
Leak test applies a test pressure(s) to an external system
connected to the instrument to determine the magnitude ofpressure variations due to leaks. This application sets the test
pressure and a dwell time to eliminate potential adiabatic
effects at the test pressure and the leak test time period. On
completion, the display shows the start pressure, end pressure,pressure change and leak rate.

Analogue output
The analogue output can be programmed via the setup menu
screen to output a signal proportional to the instrument range
selected. This allows the instrument to interface with PC or
PLC I/O cards, remote displays, chart recorders or other data
logging equipment.
Users can select outputs of 0 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V, -5 to 5 V and 0/4
to 20 mA. Precision with respect to host instrument measured
pressure 0.05% FS over the host instrument operating
temperature range, variable update rate to 80 readings per
second. The option is programmable between minimum andFS pressure for proportional output against pressure.

Test program
The test program option provides a facility for creating,storing and executing numerous test procedures within the
instrument itself. This is particularly useful for longer, more
repetitive and laborious procedures requiring manual inputs
for rapid prototyping, manufacturing and life cycle testing.
Test programs can also be transferred to a PC using a massstorage device for further editing, and copied back from themass storage device to the instrument.

Burst test
Burst test is an application for the PACE series designed
primarily for the testing of pressure rupture discs. The burst
test option applies a controlled increase of pressure andaccurately measures the exact point at which the device
rupture or burst occurs.

Volt free contacts (VFC)
Volt free contacts enable control of peripheral devices suchas vacuum pumps, ovens, etc. Each VFC option has three
independent volt-free NO/NC relay contacts. A number ofconditions can be set within a PACE instrument to trigger arelay toggling its contacts.

Aeronautical option (PACE6000 only, to be usedwith PACE CM2-A control modules)
Simultaneous control of calibrated airspeed and altitude(when used with two PACE CM2-A control modules) with a “goto ground” function.
Indication and control available in pure aeronautical units:• Altitude – feet or meters• Air Speed – knots or km/hour, mph• Mach – mach number• Rate of climb – feet or meters/minute, second
