Task
To control pressure in the task do the following:
1. Select the required units of pressure measurement from the measure set-up menu.
2. Press the status area and enter control set-up.
3. Select the required slew rate.
Note: The display changes to show the type of slew rate selected.
4. Select the required vent slew rate in vent set-up.
Caution
Use the vent set-up to prevent damage to rate-sensitive equipment connected to
this controller. The vent slew rate setting is independent of the controller slew rate
settings.
5. Return to the task screen. In basic task, use the numeric keys to enter a set-point.
6. Press the status area and enter control set-up, select the required slew rate.
7. Press the key to start controlling pressure.

9. When the controller achieves the selected pressure set-point, the screen display
changes as follows:
• The current pressure reading changes from blue to green.
• If enabled, the effort meter shows the controller effort to keep the pressure at
the set-point.
10. On completion of testing, select control set-up and select Vent to reduce the system
pressure to near atmospheric pressure.
Note: This feature should be used to reduce system pressure to a safe value before
disconnecting the Unit Under Test.
The vent valve opens and remains open until a key press or receipt of a
communications command.
Always use the vent function before disconnecting pressure equipment from the
output port.
11. Press the key to return to measure mode. The screen display changes as follows:
