The SF6 Gas Density Relay Calibration Instrument employs high-precision pressure sensors and high-speed A/D converters. Combined with a 32-bit high-performance microprocessor, it performs performance verification on various SF6 gas density relays. It accurately measures pressure values at the current temperature during signal actuation, automatically converts standard pressure at 20°C for any ambient temperature, and features printing, storage, and USB flash drive transfer capabilities. Additionally, it automatically identifies faults during the testing process.

 Rotary Mouse User Guide

  The rotary mouse functions similarly to a computer mouse, offering three operations: "Left Rotation," "Right Rotation," and "Press to Select." These three actions enable cursor movement, data input, and operation selection.

Cursor Movement: Rotate the mouse left or right to move the cursor. Position the cursor over the desired option and press the knob to select it.

Data Input: When modifying or entering data, position the cursor over the relevant option. Press the mouse to enter either the hundreds or tens digit modification mode (the cursor shrinks to the digit being modified). Rotate the mouse left or right to increase or decrease the value in that digit. Press the mouse to confirm the modification and advance to the next digit. Again, rotate the mouse left or right to increase or decrease that digit. After completing digit-by-digit modifications, the cursor expands to full size, indicating exit from data modification mode. At this point, rotate the mouse to move the cursor away.

 

 Wiring Method

    When performing on-site calibration of SF6 density relays, connect the gas lines and electrical circuits using the instrument accessories as shown in Figure 2. Connect the inlet tube to the instrument inlet and the gas cylinder, connect the exhaust tube to the exhaust port, and connect the measurement tube to the instrument measurement port. Then connect to the SF6 density relay under test via the common connector and transition connector. Refer to Appendix II for the common connector and transition connector. Connect the six-core test leads to the corresponding test points on the wiring cabinet. Based on the test objective, connect one end of the supplied six-core test leads to the signal interface on the instrument panel. The end with alligator clips should be connected to the signal sockets on the wiring cabinet of the density relay according to the test signal. Any unused alligator clips must remain idle and should not come into contact with other alligator clips. When testing a single signal (either Single Alarm, Single Lockout 1, or Single Lockout 2), connect only the corresponding test signal and select "Single Signal" on the operation interface. The system will automatically recognize it.

Maintenance & FAQs

 

Q: What is an SF6 density relay calibrator used for?

A: It is used to test, calibrate, and verify the accuracy of SF6 gas density relaysinstalled in high-voltage equipment like circuit breakers and GIS (Gas-Insulated Switchgear). It ensures the relays trigger alarms or shutdowns at the correct gas pressure levels

Q: Why is calibrating SF6 density relays important?

A: SF6 gas is critical for insulation and arc quenching in high-voltage equipment. If the density relay fails or is inaccurate:

Safety Risk:Low gas density can lead to insulation failure or explosions.

False Alarms:Incorrect readings cause unnecessary shutdowns.

Gas Leaks:Undetected leaks waste expensive SF6 gas and harm the environment.

Q: How does the calibrator work?

A: It connects to the density relay via sealed hoses.

Applies precise pressure (simulating gas density) using an internal pump or external gas source.

Measures the relay's response (alarm/lockout points) and compares it to standard values.

Adjusts or validates the relay's settings.

Q: Can it be used on energized equipment?

A: No.The equipment must be de-energized, isolated, and depressurizedbefore calibration. Safety protocols for SF6 gas handling must be followed.

Q: What types of relays can it test?

A:

Mechanical density relays

Digital (smart) density monitors

Pressure gauges with contacts (alarm/lockout)

Single-stage or two-stage relays.
