DVR INTRODUCTION

Overview

Purpose of the manual

This manual provides information on the installation and operation of

your DVR 1000 Series Digital Vacuum Regulator (DVR). The informa-

tion provided is applicable to all DVR Series instruments listed in the

table on page two.

DVR function

Your CANNON

DVR 1000 Series instrument has been designed to

regulate vacuum at 300 mm Hg below atmospheric pressure. Vacuum may

be adjusted to other settings from 28 to 411 mm Hg. The DVR may be

used with all CANNON

temperature baths including the CT and TE

Series high and low temperature instruments.

Applications

Your DVR may be used in conjunction with the Cannon-Manning cali-

brated CMVC series viscometers, the Modified Koppers Calibrated

MKVC Series viscometers, and the Asphalt Institute Vacuum Calibrated

AIVC series viscometers for measurement of highly viscous materials

such as asphalt cement at 60°C (140°F) per ASTM D 2171 specifications.

Both the Cannon-Manning and the Modified Koppers permit viscosity

measurement from 42 to 200,000 poise. The Asphalt Institute AIVC

Series 400R and 800R viscom-

eters, also available from

CANNON

, extend that range

to 1,400,000 poise and

5,800,000 poise respectively

(see ASTM D 2171, Table X2).

Your DVR is also useful in other

laboratory systems where

accurate measurement and

control of vacuum from 28 to

330 mm Hg below atmospheric

pressure is required.

Series differences

The DVR-1000 is designed to

regulate the user’s in-house

vacuum system.

The DVR-1500 includes an

internal vacuum pump and does

not require in-house vacuum.

CHAPTER

INITIAL SETUP

Your DVR is shipped from CANNON

fully assembled. Only vacuum

and electrical power connections must be made before your DVR unit is

fully operational.

Positioning the DVR

Place the DVR instrument on a sturdy laboratory bench or table at its

desirable location, close to the constant temperature bath with ample

space for rear ventilation. Temporarily orient the unit for easy access to

the front and rear panels.

NOTE

The horizontal DVR models may be used as a base for any CANNON

CT or TE Series bath.

Tubing connections

Tubing connections for the DVR vary depending on the specific model.

Follow the instructions appropriate for your unit. Make sure that there is

adequate slack in the tubing to avoid kinks in the line which might

prevent optimal control.

DVR-1000 connections

Vacuum source connection

Ensure that your vacuum source meets the specifications listed on page

two (A vacuum regulator may be required). To connect the DVR-1000 to

your in-house vacuum, secure the tubing to the 1/8” NPT PORT connec-

tion on the DVR rear panel using an appropriate fitting (not supplied).

Connecting to your application

Connect the DVR-1000 to your vacuum manifold or application using

the 4' length of 1/4" x 5/8" o.d. rubber vacuum tubing provided by

CANNON

. Secure the tubing to the Vacuum Manifold Inlet on the

CHAPTER

DVR OPERATION

Default settings

The DVR is designed to display and regulate vacuum for viscometry

applications per ASTM D 2171 specifications. The DVR regulates

vacuum using set points preset at CANNON

for efficient regulation of

vacuum at 300 mm Hg below atmospheric pressure.

To adjust the control settings to regulate at other pressures, see

section on adjusting HI/LO Setpoints.

Accessories

The DVR may be used in conjunction with the CANNON

3VM and

4VM vacuum manifolds. The 3VM manifold (catalogue # 9726-V10) has

three valves and is intended for use with the CANNON

CT-500 Con-

stant Temperature Bath. The 4VM manifold (catalogue # 9726-V05) has

four valves and is intended for use with the CANNON

CT-1000 and

CT-2000 Constant Temperature Baths.

Turning on the DVR

Applying power

1. Make sure the instrument power cord is connected to an appropriate

power source (electrical requirements are specified on the rear panel

of the DVR unit).

2. Make sure that all vacuum connections are secure.

3. Toggle the POWER switch on the DVR front panel to the RUN

position (see photo). The gauge LCD will be activated and the

solenoid valves will “click” open. On DVR-1500 models, the internal

vacuum pump will engage.

Meter Display/Key control options

Adjusting the flow rate

Solenoid regulators

Vacuum in the DVR system is regulated by two solenoid valves mounted

inside the DVR unit. The valves operate in tandem to maintain consistent

vacuum at the desired setting. Control set points for the solenoid valves are

preset at CANNON

to regulate vacuum at 300 mm Hg below atmo-

spheric pressure. If it is necessary to adjust these settings, see Chapter 5.

Rate Adjust knob

Solenoid valve efficiency is influenced by the rate of flow in the DVR

vacuum/pressure valve system. The flow rate is regulated with an internal

needle valve. This valve is adjusted manually from the DVR front panel

using the Rate Adjust knob.

Recovery/overshoot

The flow rate also affects the recovery time (the amount of time required

to restore desired vacuum settings when a significant change has oc-

curred) and the amount of overshoot (the degree of vacuum change in

excess of the desired reading observed before the vacuum stabilizes at the

desired setting).

Using the Rate Adjust knob

Set the Rate Adjust knob so that the instrument attains the desired

setting as quickly as possible without overshooting the control target by

more than 0.5 mm Hg. Turn the knob clockwise to decrease the flow rate

or counterclockwise to increase the flow rate.

Limiting overshoot

For example, if you are controlling at 300 mm Hg, increase the flow rate

until the overshoot produces a gauge reading greater than 300.5 mm Hg.

Than reduce the flow rate until the overshoot drops to less than 0.5 mm

Hg. You can check the new setting by opening and closing switches on

the vacuum manifold, causing a drop in vacuum. Then observe the

recovery time and overshoot.

CAUTION

It is impossible to totally close the needle valve controlled by the Rate

Adjust knob. Do not try to force the valve closed using to the Rate Adjust

knob, or you may damage the valve components.

NOTE For the needle valve to function efficiently, the solenoid SET 2 value

must be higher than the solenoid SET 1 value (see Chapter 5).

Bleeding vacuum

If the DVR instrument will not be used for a period of time, you may

toggle the front panel switch to the center STANDBY position. This

action disengages solenoid operation (both models) and turns off the

DVR-1500 vacuum pump.

ANNONANNON

ANNON

Digital Vacuum Regulator Instruction & Operation Manual

Version 1.3 — May, 2009; CANNON

Instrument Company

2139 High Tech Road • State College, PA • 16803 • USA

It is advisable to bleed off residual DVR system vacuum to 250 mm or

lower when the instrument is in the center STANDBY position. This will

prevent the unit from overshooting the target vacuum (default 300 mm

Hg) when the toggle switch is returned to the RUN position.

Adjusting OFFSET

“OFFSET”

The “OFFSET” command allows the user to adjust the reading relative to

a known value. To set the “OFFSET” use the following procedure:

1. Press and hold the SCAN/adj and HOLD/mode keys for 8 seconds,

then release; the display will alternate between “cal” and “noYes” for

ten seconds.

2. To specify “yes” and select “CH1”, press and hold the HOLD/mode

key to display “CH1” .

3. Press the HOLD/mode key to display “ALAr”.

4. Press the SCAN/adj key to display “OFFST”.

5. Press the HOLD/mode key to display the number “0”.

6. Set the value you wish the meter to display at the presently applied

pressure.

 Press the SCAN/adj key to move the numbers up (+).

 Press the HOLD/mode key to move the numbers down (-).

 When the desired number is reached, press the SCAN/adj and

HOLD/mode keys at the same time. The number will flash

repeatedly. Then, press the SCAN/adj key to readjust the number

or the HOLD/mode key to accept it. After the number is ac-

cepted, the meter will display “bUSY” for 10 seconds and then

resume normal operation.

Adjusting HI/LO setpoints

NOTE The HI/LO alarm setpoints are used as control setpoints

“ALAr”

The “ALAr” command allows you to set high and low pressure alarm

points. The HI or LO indicator light is lit if the applied pressure exceeds

the set values. The alarm output signals are available at the terminal strip.

To set the Hi and Lo , use the following procedure:

HOLD/mode key to accept it.

6. Repeat the same procedure as in Step 5 to set the HI ALARM Point.

After the number is accepted the DATUM 2000™ will resume normal

operation.

Selecting set point values

Control set points for the DVR have been determined empirically.

Selecting new set points to control at a different level of vacuum or at a

different unit of measurement, will involve some trial and error.

Once your control point (desired vacuum setting) is known, you must

select and test new set points. Normal factory set points may provide a

useful reference. The unit is shipped from CANNON

with a value of

292.5 mm Hg for LO and a value of 299.6 mm Hg for HI These settings

allow the DVR to control at 300 mm Hg ± the tolerance factor of 0.5 mm

Hg.

Mechanically, the DVR is plumbed so that the solenoid controlled by the Lo

possible to achieve a vacuum very close to the desired value in a very short

time. For the HI solenoid, the vacuum source is routed through the Rate

Adjust valve, permitting a finer adjustment. For accurate control, both set

points and the Rate Adjust valve must be set properly.

Remember that the Rate Adjust valve setting will vary depending on the

values chosen for the solenoid set points. When resetting the control

points you must also check/adjust the Rate Adjust knob.

Normal factory set points may provide a useful reference. The unit is shipped from CANNON® with a

value of 292.5 mm Hg for SET1 and a value of 299.6 mm Hg for SET2. These settings allow the DVR to

control at 300 mm Hg ± the tolerance factor of 0.5 mm Hg.

Mechanically, the DVR is plumbed so that that solenoid controlled by the SET1 register allows air to

bypass the Rate Adjust valve. This feature makes it possible to achieve a vacuum very close to the

desired value in a very short time. For the SET2 solenoid, the vacuum source is routed through the Rate

Adjust valve, permitting a finer adjustment. For accurate control, both set points and the Rate Adjust

valve must be set properly.

Remember that the Rate Adjust valve setting will vary depending on the values chosen for the solenoid

set points. When resetting the control points you must also check/adjust the Rate Adjust knob.
