2.3.4.1Supply Air

The 98RK-1 chassis requires an 80 psig minimum (125 psig maximum) dry air (or inert gas) supply which is used to shift the 9816 internal calibration valve (in each scanner) between its different positions. Each 98RK-1 contains a fitting marked “SUPPLY” for this input (see Figure 2.2, previous page). Internal solenoid valves in each 9816 scanner direct this supply pressure to the proper control port on the calibration valve as required by instrument commands. The absence of sufficient supply air to the module will prevent the calibration valve from shifting into requested positions (i.e., RUN, CAL, PURGE, or LEAK-CHARGE). The pneumatic input manifold (on the rear of the chassis) contains an additional two transducers to read the supply and purge air pressures.

Connect 80-125 psig dry air to the chassis SUPPLY port. This is the power used to STEP 19 move the internal calibration valve between the four locations; RUN, CAL, PURGE,

and LEAK-CHARGE.

WARNING: Supply air should not exceed 125 psi (875 kPa). Excessive pressure may damage the internal solenoids.

2.3.4.2RUN Mode Inputs

The standard pneumatic quick disconnect ( QDC) tubing plates contain sixteen (16) numbered pneumatic input channels. These numbered inputs are attached to corresponding pressure transducers inside the instrument and should be pneumatically attached to the pressure measurement points under test.

The 98RK-1 pneumatic backplane also contains inputs labeled RUN REF (RUN REF 1 through RUN REF 8). With the common reference manifold, RUN REF 1 is the reference port for any 9816 scanner installed in 98RK-1 slot #1 (leftmost position when viewing from the front of the 98RK-1). RUN REF 8 is the corresponding reference for any 9816 scanner installed in 98RK-1 slot #8. The RUN REF inputs are pneumatically connected to the reference side of all internal DH200 pressure transducers, as shown in Figure 2.4 (next page).
