1. it does not seal fluid in the connection If the quick connect seals the fluid drill it out so the pressure has somewhere to bleed otherwise changes in temperature can put thousands of pounds of pressure on the transducer possibly overpressuring it This can also happen when using valves that seal fluid against the sensor Trapping fluid against the pressure sensor and exposing if to a change in temperature can damage the sensor and void your warranty If you use a quick connect on the gauge ensure the stem on the Falcon has no check valve a SESO type Operating the Falcon To turn on the Falcon Deadweight press either the or seve key The unit will turn off automatically depending on what the Sleep Mode is set to see below There are three main modes the Falcon can be in Sampling Memory and Setup These modes are reached by repeatedly pressing the key Sampling The Falcon Electronic Deadweight samples every 3 seconds When the gauge is sam pling busy will come up on the display and the gauge won t respond to key presses until it s finished sampling In gauge mode psig or kPag it is possible to zero the deadweight to atmospheric pressure While the Falcon is sampling press both the seve and the key to zero the pressure Note that this has no effect in absolute mode You can reset the zero offset back to the factory zero which will be explained below The Falcon can either save the current pressure for later viewing2. Falcon Electronic Deadweight User s Manual 1v06 reed oe ay Overview The Falcon Electronic Deadweight is a quick and inexpensive way to measure static pressure Since it s calibrated from 40 C to 60 C you don t have to worry about the outside temperature changes affecting the pressure unlike most other electronic deadweights The custom made aluminum case and advanced shock absorbing system are designed to take more abuse before being damaged than the typical deadweight Included is an impact resistant water resistant case that is big enough to hold most standard quick connects and fitting s while still being attached to the Falcon In short we have built this deadweight to satisfy the needs of the field operator for toughness reliability and unparalleled accuracy Copyright 2002 Cal Scan Services Lid Installation The Falcon Electronic Deadweight ships with a 1 4 NPT to 1 2 NPT adapter that allows you to easily hook up to almost any adapter or quick connect There are just a few points to remember Installing Fittings The Falcon is designed to be robust but if you do not use a wrench to attach any fitting or install the deadweight on a pressure source you could damage it If you damage the deadweight by stripping the threads or by rotating the case fo remove a fitting without a wrench you will void your warranty Using Quick Connects and Valves Using a quick connect is okay as long as
3. by pressing the button or 1f Peak Detect has been activated the highest pressure recorded will be saved automatically If the Peak Detect is on pressing the button will clear the peak value so a new lower peak will be recorded Memory After pressing the button a second time the Falcon will show the last saved value or if the PeakMin Detect is on the peak and minimum pressure In this case the two values will be shown by alternating the display every 3 seconds The lower value is the minimum and the higher the peek pressure Setu p Pressing the button a third time will allow you to change the settings of the Falcon Changing the Engineering Units kPaa kPag psia psig Press the button until Setup is displayed Press the button to display Units and the current unit will be displayed Press the button and the units will toggle between psia psig kPa and kPag Press the button to save the desired unit Reset the Zero Offset This useful if the Falcon has been accidentally zeroed under pressure or if you want to see how much the deadweight has shifted from the factory zero Press the button until Setup is displayed Press the button to display Units Press the button to display Reset Press the button to reset the gauge back to factory zero PeakMin Detect This feature changes how the memory mode works If the PeakMin Detect is ON the deadweight will display the last peak and minimum pressure sampled instead of showing the last
