Control Specification for Low, Mid and High Pressure Range Regulator Modules (LSVR, MSVR and HSVR)
Source pressure requirements 10% over range of highest pressure transducer or 20 psi over highest pressure transducer for
a pressure channel, whichever is less.
Exhaust pressure requirements A vacuum source is required for sub-atmospheric pressure control.
Stability of controlled pressure 0.003% of span on active range. Typically better than 0.001% of span 10 seconds after displaying
stable indication.
Maximum control pressure See Table 2 on page 7.
Minimum control pressure 0.05% FS or 0.025 psi over exhaust pressure, whichever is greater.
Control time Approximately 10 seconds to stable flag for 10% pressure change in highspeed mode.
25 seconds to stable flag for 10% pressure change in precision mode.
These times are achieved using a 50cc volume. Larger volumes can lengthen this time.
Controlling to pressures less than 5 psia can also lengthen this time.
Pressure control rate settings Slow, Medium, Fast, and Max (default).
Supply consumption <2.5 scfh in steady-state control.
