connected to this controller. Set the rate of change for the equipment to a
safe value. Use the vent function to reduce pressure at a controlled rate
(task rate setting) before the vent valve opens to atmosphere.
Do not exceed the maximum pressures stated in the appropriate
Component Maintenance Manual for the unit under test.
Carefully de-pressurize all pipes to atmospheric pressure before
disconnecting and connecting to the unit under test.
Before testing, set the rates of change for the PACE instrument to a safe
value. A high rate of change can damage sensitive components. Refer to the
appropriate Component Maintenance Manual for the unit under test.
