2. Safety
WARNING!
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the appro-
priate calibration system has been selected in terms of measuring range,
design and specic measuring conditions.
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or damage to the equip-
ment.
Further important safety instructions can be found in the individual
chapters of these operating instructions.
2.1 Intended use
The calibration system model BCS10 serves for the inspection of SF
₆
gas density
measuring instruments and pressure measuring instruments.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here,
and may only be used accordingly.
The technical specications contained in these operating instructions must be obser-
ved. Improper handling or operation of the instrument outside of its technical specica-
tions requires the instrument to be taken out of service immediately and inspected by an
authorised WIKA service engineer.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary
to the intended use.
Handle electronic precision measuring instruments with the required care (protect from
humidity, impacts, strong magnetic elds, static electricity and extreme temperatures,
do not insert any objects into the instrument or its openings). Plugs and sockets must be
protected from contamination.

2. Safety
If the instrument is transported from a cold into a warm environment, the formation of
condensation may result in instrument malfunction. Before putting it back into operation,
wait for the instrument temperature and the room temperature to equalise.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary
to the intended use.
2.2 Personnel qualication
WARNING!
Risk of injury should qualication be insucient!
Improper handling can result in considerable injury and damage to equip-
ment.
■
The activities described in these operating instructions may only be
carried out by skilled personnel who have the qualications described
below.
■
Keep unqualied personnel away from hazardous areas.
Skilled personnel
Skilled personnel are understood to be personnel who, based on their technical training,
knowledge of measurement and control technology and on their experience and
knowledge of country-specic regulations, current standards and directives, are capab-
le of carrying out the work described and independently recognising potential hazards.
Special operating conditions require further appropriate knowledge, e.g. of aggressive
media.
2.3 Additional safety instructions for SF₆ gas in switchgear

4. Design and function
4. Design and function
4.1 Short description
The modular calibration system model BCS10 serves for pressure generation and
inspection of mechanical and electronic SF₆ gas density measuring instruments by
means of comparative measurements. Due to the internal temperature compensation of
the GDI-100-D reference tester, the SF₆ gas pressure is referred to 20 °C. As a result,
gas density measuring instruments can be calibrated at an ambient temperature of
-10 ... +50 °C.
The test pump enables pressure generation from 0 ... 16 bar. Individual measuring
points can be approached with highest accuracy by means of the ne adjustment valve.
Via the mounted precision digital gas density indicator, the measurements can be
displayed in one of 10 SF₆ density units, in one of 26 pressure units or also in customer-
specic units

5. Transport, packaging and storage
5. Transport, packaging and storage
5.1 Transport
Check the calibration system for any damage that may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
5.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change
in installation site, sending for repair).
5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
see chapter 3 “Specications”
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
■
Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
■
Hazardous environments, ammable atmospheres
Store the calibration system in its original packaging in a location that fulls the condi-
tions listed above. If the original packaging is not available, pack and store the instru-
ment as described below:
1. Wrap the instrument in an antistatic plastic lm.
2. Place the instrument, along with the shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.
3. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag containing a
desiccant inside the packaging.

6. Commissioning, operation
6. Commissioning, operation
Commissioning must only be carried out by trained skilled personnel. The calibration
system was comprehensively checked ex works for leak tightness.
WARNING!
Only connect or disconnect test and calibration installations once the
system has been depressurised!
6.1 Switching on and o
To switch on the calibration system, press
the Power button (1) for 3 seconds. Press
the Power button again to switch o the
calibration system.
After switching on the version of the rmware
is indicated on the display for approx.
1 second.
The bar graph display at the bottom of the
display indicates the applied pressure relative
to the total measuring range.
6.2 Backlighting
The backlighting makes it easier to read the
values of the digital display. Press the Scroll-
Down button (5) to turn the backlighting on
and o.
6.3 Description of menu items
A detailed description of the menu items is available in the operating instructions of the
digital gas density indicator model GDI-100-D.
6.4 Measurement setup and adjustment
WARNING!
Only connect or disconnect test and calibration installations once the
system has been depressurised!

6. Commissioning, operation
Select an appropriate adapter and screw it
together with the test item.
Connect the test item via the quick coupling to
the metal exible hose.
For instruments with calibration valve, also
observe the mounting instruction of the
respective operating instructions.
Connect the other side of the metal exible hose
via the quick coupling to the calibration system.
Check that the switching for pressure or vacuum
generation (arrow) is set to pressure.
ATTENTION!
The construction of the calibration system is not
designed for vacuum generation. Always leave
the switching valve set to pressure generation.
Never adjust the switching valve when the
system is under pressure. Switch only when the
drain valve is open.
Close the pressure relief valve.
Turn the pressure relief valve clockwise until the
valve is closed. No hard stop can be felt.

EN
6. Commissioning, operation
Switch on the calibration system.
The measurement setup shall be now as in the
gure.
Actuate the pump handles several times until the
desired pressure is slightly exceeded.
To achieve the maximum pumping capacity, the
spring above the knurled nut must be relaxed.
For test items with low measuring ranges,
the stroke path can be reduced by turning
the knurled nut. This will reduce the pressure
increase per stroke and minimise the risk of the
overpressure.
Set the desired pressure via the ne adjustment
valve (arrow).
Normally, the test is carried out when the
pressure falls because the gas density
instruments are generally specied and adjusted
in such a way.
To reduce the pressure, turn the ne adjustment
valve counterclockwise.
Further reduction of the pressure is possible by
means of the pressure relief valve.
To increase the pressure, turn the ne
adjustment valve clockwise.
Use the digital pressure gauge to read the set
pressure.

6. Commissioning, operation
Compare and record the displayed value of the
test item with the displayed value of the digital
pressure gauge.
To improve the readability of the display, the
backlighting can be activated by means of the
Scroll-Down button.
Open the pressure relief valve after calibration to
depressurise the system.
The test item can be separated from the
calibration system.
The calibration system can now be dismounted
in reverse order.
WARNING!
Only disconnect once the system
has been depressurised!
