GE imagination at work
PACE Precision Pressure Indicator
The new PACE precision pressure indicator brings together the latest measurement technology from GE to offer an elegant,
fast, flexible and economical solution to pressure measurement for test, calibration and monitoring.

PACE employs digitally characterized pressure sensors which offer the quality, stability, higher bandwidth and precision
associated with this latest generation of piezo-resistive and resonant devices.

PACE1000 offers a wide choice of standard pressure ranges, with three levels of precision to ensure that PACE1000 can
accommodate specification and budget requirements.

The colour touch screen display of the PACE1000 can be configured by a user to indicate up to three pressure measurements
from a possible five sensor inputs; three internal sensors and two external sensors.

The indication configuration extends to an ability to display in a text or graph format and also a differential of P1-P2 if more
than two sensors are installed. The indicated display can be logged over a customized time period, sample rate and trigger. All
the pressure sensor measurement can be re-transmitted via one of the communication ports.

PACE 1000 Options

Leak Test
Leak Test measures leak rate over the measure dwell time.
At the start of the test, the instrument measures the applied
test pressure of the user system. The instrument records the
pressure change during measure dwell time. On completion
the display shows the leak rate results, with leak rate per
second or per minute in the current pressure units selected.

Switch Test – standard with the Analogue Output

or Voltage Free Contacts option Volt Free Contacts
Switch Test automates the testing of pressure switch Volt Free Contacts enable control of peripheral devices such
devices. Following the test, displayed is the pressure at which as vacuum pumps, ovens, etc. Each VFC option has three
contacts open and close and the switch hysteresis. Switch independent volt-free NO/NC relay contacts. A number of
Test task can also be set to capture switch toggle max, min conditions can be set within a PACE1000 instrument to trigger
and average values. a relay toggling its contacts.

Analogue Output Aeronautical option

The Analogue Output can be programmed via the setup menu Indication available in pure aeronautical units:
screen to output a signal proportional to the instrument range Altitude – feet or meters
selected. This allows the instrument to interface with PC or PLC Air speed – knots or km/hour, mph
I/O cards, remote displays, chart recorders or other data logging Mach – mach number
equipment. Derived pressure at mean sea level and barograph for
barometric applications.
Users can select outputs of 0 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V, -5 to 5 V and QFE, QFF and QNH trend for airfield applications
0/4 to 20 mA. Precision with respect to host instrument
measured pressure 0.05% FS over the host instrument
operating temperature range, variable update rate to 80
readings per second. The option is programmable between
minimum and FS pressure for proportional output against
