Adapter Plate O-Ring Replacement 
 
Following is a step-by-step procedure to replace Adapter plate O-rings in a Model 9116 
Intelligent Pressure Scanner.  The adapter plate is located opposite of the tubing plate on the 
calibration manifold.  All DH200 transducers are attached to the adapter plate. 
 
(1)  Disassemble the module as described in Section 5.1.2
 
(2)  Remove the PC-327 Analog board as described in Section 5.1.3.1.   Lay the circuit board to 
the side on an anti-static surface. 
 
(3)  Remove the six (6) 3/32" Allen-head screws that secure the adapter plate to the calibration 
valve housing.  To remove the two (2) center screws, you must remove the DH200 
transducers near the screws.  Make sure to note the DH200 serial number and location.  
The plate should be gently lifted from the calibration housing.   
 
(4)  Carefully rotate or slide the adapter plate back and forth, pivoting on the guiding pin about 
1/8" several times. This is done to loosen the O-rings from the calibration manifold.  Lift the 
adapter plate straight up.  Do not touch the calibration manifold. 
 
(5)  Remove and replace the O-rings needing maintenance using the procedure described in  
 Section 
5.1.6.1.  Note that the O-ring seals use an additional Teflon cup seal placed on top  
 
of the O-ring. These Teflon seals do not require Krytox
®
 grease. 
 
(6)  Examine the adapter plate and calibration valve surface to verify that no contaminants are 
on either surface. This generally requires microscopic examination.  Replace the adapter 
plate by slowly placing the plate on the calibration manifold.  Make sure that the O-ring is 
down towards the pneumatic sliding manifold and the guiding pin on the adapter plate fits 
into the mating hole of the calibration valve housing.  Fasten the adapter plate evenly on all 
sides. 
 
(7)  Install the DH200 transducers that were previously removed.  It is suggested to install them 
back in their original location. 
 
(8)  Replace the PC-327 Analog board as described in Section 5.1.3.1 and reassemble the 
module. 
 
(9)  Test your scanner to ensure proper operation.
