Overview| INTRODUCTION Thankyou for choosing the HPC40 Series handheld pressure calibrator from Crystal Engineering Corporation. HPC40 calibrators feature deadweight tester accuracy in a modern digital package with the safest fitting connection available. The new full color display also features a new easy to use interface similar to the one used in the JOFRA ASC-400 Series.The HPC40 is available as a stand-alone calibrator or in one of our complete pump systems, and may be used in a broad range of applications from simple tool type jobs to complex calibration jobs in custody transfer systems....

  QUICKSTART APM and Temperature Connection Connect to an external APM module to expand the pressure options, plus a high accuracy RTD to read temperature. “Wireless” Keypad Unique “Non-Menu” User Interface Easy to use single layer user interface. No deep menu structure! All input and output connectors are placed away from the display and keypad to give maximum freedom to operate. Mini-USB Port Customize the set-up through free CrystalControl software. Function Buttons The function of each button is clearly explained on the bottom of the display. Operate and set up the HPC40 Series to perform...

Functions   ON/OFF Power button Press and hold the ( power) button to turn the HPC40 Series on or off. The HPC40 will automatically power down if not used for the time period defined in the unit settings or in CrystalControl. Automatic Shutoff - Low Power Mode To optimize battery life, adjust your Automatic Shutoff time (shut off time in absence of key press) on the unit or through the free CrystalControl software. This feature is adjustable from 5 minutes to “always on.” When powered by USB, the HPC40 does not employ any power management strategies. Therefore, it will not automatically shut...

Zero Button Press the ( zero) button to activate the function key options. The HPC40 will display the parameters that are currently shown on the upper and lower displays. Press the ( function) button for the parameter that you would like to zero. The display will then briefly flash all dashed lines (-----), indicating that it has been zeroed. Note: If you attempt to zero the gauge with more pressure applied than the Zero Limit set on the HPC40 (or with CrystalControl) the command will be ignored, and Over Zero Limit will display. Note: The BARO sensor cannot be zeroed. ! WARNING: This calibrator...

4 Use the up and down (arrow) buttons to select a new value, then press the (enter) button to choose the new value. Note: To exit Navigation mode without making a selection, press the (back) button. Press the (settings) button to enter the system settings menu. Used to recall a saved setup. Used to store the current display setup. Saving a setup allows for quick loading of the same configurations for later use. This makes it easy to switch between different applications or tasks. Up to 5 setups can be stored. Used to view or edit the following system settings: • HART resistor On/Off • Battery...

When finished press the ( enter) button. The name is limited to eight characters. Highlight the settings to modify... then change the name of the saved setup. 5...

  DISPLAY The display is divided into two sections: the upper and lower displays. The upper display can be configured to show values for Current, Voltage, RTD, Pressure, BARO, or Switch Test. The lower display can be configured to show values for only RTD, Pressure, and BARO. Upper Display (showing Current) Lower Display (showing Pressure)

Operation   PRESSURE SENSORS The HPC40 Series is equipped with one or two pressure sensors. In addition, a Crystal APM (Advanced Pressure Module) may also be used. For information on the Crystal APM, please refer to the APM CPF Series Operation Manual. Be sure to choose the proper sensor based on working pressures and accuracy. ! WARNINGS: The following warnings apply to any sensor used with the HPC40 — whether internal or external: • • Pressure sensors may be damaged and/or personal injury may occur due to improper application of pressure. Please refer to the Ranges and Resolutions table for...
