Pneumatic Test Program - Test (CL)

Preparation for Test:
1. Review section 0,
2. Review C/1, 11, 20, 21, 31,

Data (mbar)

Test procedure Permissible deviation
Allowable system leakage at 600 mbar pressure or 300 mbar vacuum in 1 minute. 30 mbar
Allowable leakage of actuators with lines at 600 mbar pressure or 300 mbar vacuum
in 1 minute.
25 mbar

Preparation for Test:
1. Provide access to PSE control module (A37) and disconnect pneumatic line with socket from PSE control module.
2. Connect tester to disconnected pneumatic line using with connector
129 805 03 44.


If an actuator does not operate correctly and no leakage is found, check the respective lines for kinks or blockages.

Parts Required for Test:
1 Connector 202 805 03 44
2 Connection hose, 50 mm long 007 997 61 82
1 Pneumatic line, 1 m long 000 158 14 35

Note:
The connections on the PSE control module and pneumatic multiple connector are marked with their German acronyms. In other words:
ZV (German) = CL (English),
SRU (German) = MVA (English),
OSL (German) = OSB (English).
