1. Introduction and safety instructions
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for buying a Pneumator from Testo industrial services GmbH.
We are sure, that this instrument will be of benefit to you and your work for a long
time.
Please read the operation manual carefully and get acquainted with the handling of
the Pneumator before you start operating.
Should a problem occur, which you are not able to solve yourself, please contact our
service department or your salesman. We will make every effort to help you as fast
and competent as possible.
Attention:
- The Pneumator is supplied via a power supply with 20 to 26 VDC at an
amperage of 1 A. Never touch parts under Voltage!
- The inserted reference sensor has an overload protection. However, please
note that the max. application of pressure is never exceeded, as otherwise
lasting destruction could occur:
oPneumators 1 / 10 / 100 hPa 5-times overload stability
oPneumators 1000 hPa 2-times overload stability
- Please note that a negative pressure at the minus connection may never
exceed 10% of the measuring range
- The Pneumator contains an accumulator (lithium manganese cells). This
should be unloaded occasionally, in order to optimize the performance.
- Concerning transport, the Pneumator must be packed shockproof in order to
avoid damages!
- Please leave the device closed. When opening the device the warranty
expires.

5. Menu settings for all operating modes
In this section the settings are described, which are relevant for all modes of
operation. All further settings, you will find described in the respective chapters.
oPress MENU
oSubmenu „Language“: Change menu language (buttons UP, DOWN,
confirming with OK).
oSubmenu settings: At OK a further menu overview is being opened.
oSubmenu zero: At zeroing the reference pressure sensor is being
pressurized with the differential pressure = 0 Pa, by opening internal
electromagnetic valves. This can be done manually (ZERO) or in
automatic cycles (each duration approx. 5 s). The setting is done in the
following submenus.
Submenu Auto-Zero: Activated = „ON“ / deactivated =
„OFF“ (buttons UP, DOWN, confirm with OK)
Submenu interval: Value range 1 .. 60 minutes selectable
(buttons UP, DOWN, 0%, 100%, confirm with OK)
Leave submenu by pressing MENU
oSubmenu RS232/USB: compare with „programming via PC“
oSubmenu display: The brightness is defined in another submenu.
Submenu „brightness “: Adjustment of the display brightness .
Range of value 0% to 100% (buttons UP, DOWN, 0%, 100%,
confirm with OK).
oSubmenu info: Equipment specification about the measuring range,
firmware and hardware

6. Operating mode CTRL – calibration (step-by-step)
Purpose:
The operation mode CTRL (Control / regulation) is selected for the calibration of a
test device in individual steps. In case the calibration takes place at the same
pressure ranges frequently, we recommend the operation mode AUTO.
Device function and schematic diagram:
In the operation mode CTRL the pump is turned on and regulates
in each case the requested pressure set point value. Thereby the
internal reference pressure sensor, whose measured value is
shown in the display in each case, supplies the actual pressure
value.
Connection of the test device:
Differential pressure test device: Connect to „Plus“ and „Minus“.
Relative pressure test device: Connect to „Plus“.
Programming:
oPress MENU
oSubmenu „Mode“: press UP or DOWN until CTRL appears. Selecting with
OK.
oSubmenu „Range“: Define maximal calibration pressure (buttons UP,
DOWN, 0%, 100%, confirming with OK). Possible value ranges compare
chart.
Pneumator type Minimal value Maximal value
0519.0816 -0,1 hPa 1,1 hPa
0519.0817 -1 hPa 11 hPa
0519.0818 -10 hPa 110 hPa
0519.0819 -100 hPa 1100 hPa
oSubmenu „Unit“: Define requested pressure unit (buttons UP and DOWN,
confirm with OK). The maximal calibration pressure (Submenu „Range“) is
being calculated automatically.
oSubmenu „Steps“: Define requested (percental) step rate (buttons UP,
DOWN, 0%, 100%, confirm with OK).
oExample: at range/unit = +1.000 hPa and steps = the following pressure
sequence is provided: 0 hPa, then 250 hPa, then 500 hPa, then 750 hPa, and
finally 1.000 hPa pressure.
oSubmenu „Setting Zero“: Definition of automatic zero procedure
oAuto zero = ON: right after leaving the menu, and then on a regular
basis the zero points gets adjusted
oInterval: Time Distance in minutes between two zero adjustments
oLeave the menu by pressing the MENU button

Operation manual Pneumator ∙Testo Industrial Services ∙Version 1.4 ∙2019 ∙Page 9
Operation / application:
After selecting the operation mode CTRL and leaving the menu (MENU button) a
zero adjustment is automatically conducted, in case AUTO ZERO = ON.
Subsequently, the reference sensor is venting („VENT “).
The respective pressure set point value now results now from the nominal pressure
value (see upper display middle, initial value = full measuring range), multiplied by a
percentage value (see lower display middle, initial value = 0%). The respective set
point value is indicated in the lower right display, the unit in the upper right. Note: The
new set point value is activated immediately after the change of the absolute value or
of the percental value.
Example (compare illustration):
- Nominal value: 100.00 Pa
- Percental value: 0%
- Current set point value = 100 Pa * 0% = 0 Pa
You can switch between the absolute value and the
percental value by pressing OK.
Change of the percental value (lower display middle - framed bold):
For the gradual up - and down regulation of the pressure value, e.g. 0 / 25 / 50 / 75 /
100 % of the absolute value. The step size x is defined in the submenu „range“ .
UP: Pressure rise of x % of the measuring range
DOWN: Pressure reduction of x % of the measuring range
0%: Pressure = 0 Pa
100%: Pressure = 100% of the measuring range
Change of the absolute value (upper display center - framed bold):
For the start-up of a given pressure value, e.g. 610 hPa. In most cases it is advisable
to leave this value on 100% of the measuring range.
UP: Digit +1
DOWN: Digit -1
0%: one digit position to the left
100%: one digit position to the right
Retrieval of the calibration data:
As soon as the central display figure indicates a stable value, the respective
calibration data can be retrieved:
- physical unit: Display value upper right
- pressure set value: Display value in the lower right
- actual value of test device: Display of the test device
- Reference value: Display middle
Manual zero balance (ZERO)
In case the reference measuring cell is to be set to zero during the calibration, please
use the ZERO button. After approximately 3-5 seconds, the previous status is started
up again.

Operation manual Pneumator ∙Testo Industrial Services ∙Version 1.4 ∙2019 ∙Page 10
Leakage test (LEAK)
In case the test device has to be checked whether it is connected pressure-tight, you
can start a leakage test with the LEAK button at each pressure step, upon reaching a
stabilized value. The pump is now switched off; the middle display value shows
whether a stable value is being held or whether the pressure value sinks. Pressing
the LEAK button again, you return to the CTRL operating mode.
Example (see display photo):
- Lower left: time since pressing LEAK in s, here 89 s
- Lower middle: Pressure change in % since pressing
LEAK, here increase by approx. 1%
- Lower right: Absulute Pressure change, here by
+0,099 hPa
Leaving the operation mode CTRL
When pressing the MENU button, the Pneumator is first driven into the VENT mode
(venting) in order to reduce the internal pump pressure. By pressing the MENU
button again, the operation menu is shown. In the submenu “Modus” another mode
of operation can be selected.
