Overview

INTRODUCTION



Thank you for choosing the XP2i Digital Test Gauge from Crystal Engineering Corporation. Your XP2i is a combination of leading edge technology and

rugged industrial design.

Accuracy is 0.1 percent of reading - so any XP2i can typically replace several gauges you may have been using. The XP2i is fully temperature compensated - so

there is no change in accuracy throughout the entire operating temperature range!

The XP2i’s case is made from rugged aluminum alloy utilizing a gasket to seal the enclosure against dust and water intrusion. Even the RS-232 connector is

fully sealed (with or without the cover). Circuitry is mounted in shock absorbing elastomer supports and the batteries are easily accessible by removing four

screws. But you won’t need to change the batteries often, since 3 AA batteries operate the XP2i for up to 1500 hours of continuous use. Other features include:

Continuous recording of peak and valley pressure readings

•

A removable filter (to keep out large particle contaminants)

•

All welded 316 stainless steel sensor

Most XP2is are intended for gauge pressure measurement. That is, they indicate the difference between applied pressure and ambient barometric pressure.

However, the

default setting limits the maximum zero value to 200 PSI, but this limit can be changed with

Some XP2is are rated for absolute pressure. Absolute gauges indicate the difference between applied pressure and an internal vacuum reference. Absolute

pressure is always positive. For instance barometric pressure at sea level is on average about 14.7 PSI (approximately 100 kPa or 1 bar), so at sea level this is

the lowest expected pressure indication. However, absolute gauges can be “zeroed” (unless prevented by ConfigXP). After zeroing an absolute gauge it is

Measuring Vacuum

All versions of the XP2i can be used to measure moderate vacuum, though only ranges of 300 PSI (and 20 bar or 2000 kPa) and lower are actually tested and

certified for vacuum operation.

When measuring pressure less than ambient barometric conditions, a minus (-) sign will appear.

Absolute gauges (models with a “B” in front of “XP2i” in the part number) will NOT indicate a negative sign when vacuum is applied, unless the zero button

has been pressed while a pressure greater than full vacuum is applied to the gauge. If your absolute gauge does indicate a negative pressure, you can clear

the zero value (“unzero”) by pressing the zero button until the display changes from (- - - - -) to (- - -). See “Zero” for details.

CAUTION: XP2is are not recommended for continuous use at high vacuum.

!

For continuous use at high vacuum with high accuracy, choose our XP2i-DP Differential Pressure Gauge. For product details, refer to our web site

Water Density (Inches of Water)

The following applies only to models where inch of water is a selectable pressure unit. As shipped from the factory, the XP2i is set to display inches of water

corresponding to the density of water at 4°C (39.2°F). You may require a different water density for your application, so the XP2i can be set to use the density

of water at 20°C (68°F) or 15.6°C (60°F), instead.

(units) button until the display cycles to the desired water density, then press the (zero) button to store the selection (this will not zero the gauge).

Select and set the desired density of water. If the XP2i is password protected, you will not be able to view or change the

(on/o) button and the (units) button simultaneously.

Overpressure Conditions

The XP2i will read pressure up to approximately 110% of the rated pressure range. Above 110% percent of the range the display will start flashing and the

readings will not be reliable. The zero function does not aect the point at which the display starts ashing to indicate overpressure, so depending on the

zero value it is possible that the display can start flashing without the maximum pressure being displayed.

For instance, if a 100PSIXP2i is zeroed when 30 PSI is being applied, it will indicate that the overpressure condition has been reached at 80 PSI (i.e., 110% x 100

PSI – 30 PSI = 80 PSI).

Overpressure can affect accuracy, but the effect is only temporary unless the sensor has been destroyed. See Specications for maximum overpressure.

Low Battery Indication

The battery icon ( ) is the first indication of a low battery. The XP2i will continue to operate accurately while the icon is visible. When the batteries are

exhausted, the letters “batt” will appear across the display. After “batt” appears, no pressure measurements will be possible until the batteries are replaced.

Battery Replacement

The XP2i uses 3 AA batteries. Unscrew the four rear panel screws to gain access to the battery compartment. After replacing the batteries, the XP2i will start operat-

TROUBLESHOOTING



The XP2i is a very high performance gauge. Due to the high resolution of this product, you may observe conditions that appear to be defects in the product,

but are in fact a result of being able to resolve and measure pressure to a degree not possible with other instruments.

Support  24

Noisy or Unstable Reading When Used with Fluids

When calibrating or comparing the indicated pressure from an XP2i against a hydraulic deadweight

tester or piston gauge, the reading on the XP2i may appear unstable - the least significant digit jumps

up and down several counts.

X

Reason

Gas (usually air) is trapped in the line between the gauge and the deadweight tester. What is actually

happening is the mass is oscillating up and down, and the combination of gas and fluid is acting like a

spring. At higher pressures (above 2000 PSI, typically) this may eventually diminish, as the gas dissolves

into the fluid.

X

Solution

Evacuate all tubing with a vacuum pump, before introducing fluid into the system.

Non-repeatability of Pressure Measurements

When checking the gauge against a hydraulic deadweight, increasing pressure measurements

do not match decreasing pressure measurements.

X

Reason

As in the previous note, gas has dissolved into the hydraulic fluid. When decreasing the pressure, the

dissolved gas then leaves the fluid, but at an uneven rate, so small pressure differential (due to fluid

head pressure) may exist between the reference deadweight and the gauge being tested.

X

Solution

Evacuate all tubing with a vacuum pump, before introducing fluid into the system.

Err 2 Displayed

X

Reason

The XP2i has tried to display a number too large for the display (i.e., more than 5 digits). May be due to

an electrical malfunction or numerical error.

X

Solution

Contact factory for further instructions.

Err 5 or Err 6 Displayed

X

Reason

The XP2i pressure sensor is exhibiting out of normal operating condition behavior.

X

Solution

Contact factory for sensor replacement.

Display Continuously Flashes All Segments

X

Reason

After a reset, and after replacing batteries, the XP2i checks the integrity of program memory. If for

some reason it has been modified or corrupted, it flashes all segments, and prevents normal operation.

X

Solution

To restore the memory to the original factory settings, refer to How to update firmware on a flashing

(or data logger mode) gauge with XP2iUpdate in the FAQ section of our website at:

www.crystalengineering.net/faq.

Err 1 Displayed

X

Reason

The XP2i checks the integrity of internal calibration coefficients every time it’s turned on. If any

coefficients have been corrupted in any way, “Err 1” is displayed.

X

Solution

Contact factory for instructions on how to restore the memory to the original factory settings.

XP2i Operation Manual

CALIBRATION



If adjustment is required, we recommend returning the unit to the factory. Factory service offers benefits you won’t find anywhere else. We have the facili-

ties to test your gauge at a variety of temperatures utilizing NIST traceable standards, resulting in calibration certificates that provide performance data over

temperature. Furthermore, upgrades may be available to add or enhance operating features. We designed the product to last, and we support it so that you

can get the most from your investment.

Support  25

Under normal operating conditions, we recommend the XP2i be calibrated on an annual basis. Your quality system may require more or less frequent calibra

tion, or your experience with the gauge, or operating environment may suggest longer or shorter intervals.

Although we prefer that you return the XP2i to Crystal Engineering for calibration, ordinary recertification and/or adjustments may be performed by any

qualified personnel with appropriate training and equipment. The following instructions are ONLY intended for such qualified personnel with appropriate test

equipment. We recommend that the calibration standards used have a minimum rated accuracy of 0.025% of reading, or equivalent in terms of percent of full

scale. This level of accuracy requires the use of piston (deadweight) gauges or very high performance pressure controllers.

There are no internal potentiometers. The XP2i contains a “span” factor, set to approximately 1 (as shipped from the factory). As components age this may

need to be changed to a value slightly higher or lower, to slightly increase or decrease all readings. This adjustment can be made with or without a computer
(see: CongXP Conguration Software).

“Zero” the XP2i, then record displayed pressure for two or more pressure points. Determine if the XP2i would benefit from an overall increase or decrease of

the indicated pressures.

To change the span factor from the keypad, turn off the XP2i, then press the

be briefly displayed, followed by the word “cal”, followed by the actual span value. The span factor may be adjusted by pressing either the

button to increase or decrease the value, respectively. The value changes in 0.0001 increments. Press the

(on/o) button to cancel the change.

the

For absolute XP2is, it is possible to correct for long term drift using a second calibration factor, zero value offset. ConfigXP and a barometric reference with

accuracy of 0.1 PSI or better is required to perform the calibration. To calibrate the zero offset, clear the zero as described earlier in this manual by pressing

and holding the

zero value offset in ConfigXP, and update the gauge (new value = barometric – displayed + existing). For example, if the displayed value is 14.5 PSI, barometric

pressure is 14.7 PSI, and the existing zero value offset in ConfigXP is 0.1 PSI, the new zero value offset would be 0.3 PSI (14.7 - 14.5 + 0.1 = 0.3).

The span factor and zero value offset can be viewed and set directly by ConfigXP. Span factor adjustment through the keypad

can be disabled by ConfigXP through the disable span factor feature or by password protecting the XP2i .
