Overview| INTRODUCTION Thankyou for choosing the HPC50 Series intrinsically safe handheld pressure calibrator from Crystal Engineering Corporation. HPC50 calibrators feature deadweight tester accuracy in a modern digital package with the safest fitting connection available. The full color display features an easy to use interface and may be used in a broad range of applications from simple tool type jobs to complex calibration jobs in custody transfer systems. Accuracy is up to 0.035 percent of reading— so one HPC50 can typically replace several gauges or calibrators you may have been using....

  QUICKSTART APMi and ATMi Module Connections Connect 1 or 2 external modules to expand measurement options. The APMi module for pressure, and the ATMi module for 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. Operate and set up the HPC50 Series to perform your tasks quickly and intuitively. Color Display Mini-USB Port Customize the set-up through free CrystalControl software. Function Buttons The function...

Functions   ON/OFF Power button Press and hold the ( power) button to turn the HPC50 Series on or off. The HPC50 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.”   NAVIGATION Arrow Buttons The ( arrow) buttons serve different functions depending on the mode of operation. Press any of...

Zero Button Press the ( zero) button to activate the function key options. The HPC50 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 HPC50 (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. then press enter. Note: To exit Navigation mode without making a selection, press the ( back) button. Calibration Due Reminder The HPC50 Series has a calibration reminder feature that can help to assure that you never use the calibrator after its calibration certificate has expired. Set calibration due dates and warning period through our free CrystalControl software. X Calibration Reminder Alert Enter the Cal Due date and the warning period prior. Once the defined time prior...

| SETTINGSSettings Button Press the (settings) button to enter the system settings menu. ► Recall 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 • Serial Number • Firmware Version • Part Number ► P1, P2, and APMi • Mode: Switch between absolute and gauge pressure • Filter Time • Zero Limit • Maximum Resolution: When...

Functions  8 X To Recall a Setup 1 Press the ( settings) button to enter the settings section. 2 Press the ( arrow) buttons to highlight the Recall Setting, and then press the ( enter) button. 3 Press the ( arrow) buttons to highlight the setup you want to use, and then press the ( enter) button. The name of the setup will appear in the upper-left corner then press enter.   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, Temperature, Pressure, BARO, or Switch Test. The lower display can be...

Operation   PRESSURE SENSORS The HPC50 Series is equipped with one or two pressure sensors. In addition, one or two intrinsically safe APMi (Advanced Pressure Module) or ATMi (Advanced Temperature Module) external modules may also be used. For information on the Crystal external modules, please refer to APMi Modules and ATMi Modules. Be sure to choose the proper sensor based on working pressures and accuracy. ! WARNINGS: The following warnings apply to any sensor used with the HPC50 — whether internal or external: • • Pressure sensors may be damaged and/or personal injury may occur due to improper...
