1. General Information
The Mensor Model 83 is a pump and/or compressor set that complements a pressure controller and fits on or under a bench,
in a rack, or on a table. The compressor is an oil-less pump with a maximum pressure of 40 psi with an open flow of 39 scfh.
The vacuum pump is also oil-less and can achieve 29 inHg of vacuum with an open flow of 20 scfh. In avionics terms, this set
is capable of 65,000 feet of altitude and airspeeds in excess of 1000 knots. Both units are shock mounted to reduce noise and
vibration. Each unit has a power switch/breaker and can be run independently. This same configuration can also be produced in a
standard 19 inch, 4U (7” high) rack mount chassis or desktop version.

2.5.1 Symbols
Before mounting and commissioning the instrument, ensure you read the operating instructions!
CE, Communauté Européenne
Instruments bearing this mark comply with the relevant European directives.
This marking on the instruments indicates that they must not be disposed of in domestic waste. The disposal is
carried out by return to the manufacturer or by the corresponding municipal authorities (see EU directive 2012/19/
EU).
2.6 Warnings and Cautions
The Model 9476 has a maximum supply pressure rating of 30 psig (45 psia).The internal transducers have a burst rating of
approxmiately 1.5x the full scale of pressure. Each transducer range in the unit is equipped with relief valves to protect from
overpressure.
WARNING!
The 9476 has a maximum supply pressure rating of 30 psi gauge (45 psi absolute).The internal transducers have
a burst rating of approximately 1.5x the full scale pressure. Each transducer range in the unit is equipped with relief
valves to protect from overpressure.
HIGH PRESSURE!
The 9476 can operate in system configurations containing large pressure storage tanks. Large vessels even at fairly
low pressures can hold large amounts of kinetic energy. User should safely bleed all pressure stored in external
volumes before servicing, removing pressure hoses, or removing transducers. Powering down the instrument isolates
the instrument from external pressures, but does not vent or relieve pressure from internal or external vessels.
SHOCK!
The system uses normal power line AC voltages. User should remove the AC power cord from mains when servicing

inside the 9476 chassis.
WARNING!
Any maintenance or troubleshooting should be performed by technicians knowledgeable in pneumatic pressure
instrumentation and AC powered electronic equipment.
WARNING!
The unit weighs approximately 40 lbs. and is intended as a ‘two person lift.’
HOT!
Some moving mechanical devices contained within the chassis (specifically solenoid valves) can build up excessive
heat during continuous operation. Care should be taken when servicing inside the instrument.
Additional Warning and Caution notices are found throughout this manual.

Initial setup
3. Operation
3.1 Operation
The rear panel AC input module has a master power switch. Operation of the vacuum channel, pressure channel or both channels
can be initiated by applying power using the power switch/breakers on the front panel. The unit requires 85 – 264 VAC, 47 – 63 Hz.
No internal regulation of the pressure or vacuum is provided in the unit. Normally, none is needed on the vacuum port, but may
be required if less than the approximately 40 psi gauge pressure is needed for the pressure supply. The pressure and vacuum is
automatically released by internal solenoid valves when power is removed from a channel.

Communication configuration
5. Calibration and Maintenance
For contact details, please see Chapter 1 “General information” or the back page of the operating instructions.
5.1 Calibration
Calibration of the pressure equipment should be done periodically. Mensor Digital Pressure Transducers used in the instrument
have a recommended calibration interval of 365 days. This interval can be extended or shortened depending on the requirements
of the intended application and historical data from previous calibrations.
▶The transducers must be removed from the system for calibration.
▶The instrument must be powered off prior removal of transducers.
■Open the front panel access doors by unscrewing the two thumb screws on the right side of the left door.
■With the left door open, the right door can open in the opposite direction. Each transducer is held in place with a single thumb
screw that must be loosened.
▶The first transducer on the left is the barometric transducer. The second transducer from the left is the PREF transducer.
▶The remaining three dual transducers are, from left to right, DPCAL, DPMON, and AUX.
■The transducers are mated to spring loaded fittings. To remove, push the transducers inward while lifting up.
■The three dual transducers each have two DB9 connectors on top that must be disconnected by loosening the thumb screws.
■Refer to the transducer manuals for calibration instructions.
5.2 Storage and Transportation
The 9476 can be stored for a reasonable amount of time without any adverse effects. Storage temperature should not exceed 70
C or drop below -20 C. The humidity should not be so high as to cause condensation in the system. The pressure ports should be
covered, but not completely sealed to prevent contamination in the system. Extended storage should ensure that no water vapor is
trapped within the unit and the storage temperature remains between -20 C and 70 C in a non-condensing relative humidity.
▶When returning the unit to service after an extended storage period, the unit should be inspected similar to that of a new unit
and also allowed to stabilize to normal room temperatures before operation.
The unit should be transported in a suitable container typical of a precision laboratory type instrument. Mensor recommends
utilizing foam inserts and box similar to the type the unit was originally shipped in. If not possible, the unit should be placed in a
container (or corrugated box) of a size that allows at least 4 inches of shock attenuation material on all sides and in a manner that
keeps the unit from shifting within the box. Mensor also recommends shipment on a pallet.
5.3 Maintenance
Standard maintenance may include checking for loose fittings and screws and general housekeeping.The cooling fan in the
back of the unit should be inspected for operation and cleaned to remove lint and dust. Maintenance of internal components
can be minimized when clean dry pressure media is always used. See Calibration section and transducer manuals for additional
information.
5.3.1 Beyond the Warranty
Take advantage of Mensor’s expert product care. Mensor provides complete maintenance and calibration services, available for
a nominal fee. Our service staff is knowledgeable in the innermost details of all of our transmitters. We maintain units that are in
operation in many different industries and in a variety of applications, and by users with a wide range of requirements. Returning
your transmitter to Mensor for service benefits you in several ways:
• Our extensive knowledge of the transmitter assures you that it will receive expert care.
• Repair or replacement of the CPT6030 transmitters will be available up to 7 years after the production life cycle of the product,
pending external vendor parts or equivalent parts availability. The production life cycle is defined as the time from the product
series launch to the announcement of discontinuation (typically 8 to 10 years).
• All repairs should be performed by Mensor due to the complexity of performing these repairs.
