Thank you for choosing a Pressure Calibrator from Crystal Engineering Corporation.
The 30 Series are compact and rugged pressure calibrators designed to bring laboratory accuracy to outdoor eld conditions. Every 30 Series Calibrator is
fully temperature compensated through extensive testing of all measured parameters while being exposed to environments of 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F).
All 30 Series calibrators are intended for gauge pressure measurement. That is, they indicate the dierence between applied pressure and ambient baromet-
ric pressure. The zero button also can be used as a tare function - extending the functionality of the calibrator for special applications.
They weigh less than a pound and advanced technology is employed throughout the product line. Sensors are constructed with stainless steel isolation
diaphragms and permanent oil ll. This means 30 Series products can be used with gases and liquids.
Long battery life is achieved with a low power, RISC (reduced instruction set) type micro-controller for computation of complex algorithms. A 24 bit analog to
digital converter provides internal resolution of 1 part in 16.7 million. Internal resolution always exceeds the displayed resolutions for all measurements. Full
accuracy is maintained even while the low battery icon is ashing.
The 30 Series is specied in percent of reading - instead of percent of scale. Why? Because one 30 Series calibrator could replace several conventional calibra-
tors by covering a wide range of pressure with high accuracy.
he Model 30 does not require any manual adjustments or trimming. All calibration is accomplished via an optically isolated communications port using a
T
USB physical interface. The optical isolation protects the Model 30 from electrical transients that may appear on the USB connector or cabling to a PC.
Your 30 Series can be customized through the use of our free CongM30™ software. Your personal computer can disable, enable, or modify a variety of
features of your 30 Series.

Finally, the 30 Series is manufactured and serviced by a company that specializes in making pressure measuring equipment.
To ensure safe and accurate operation, please be familiar with the following warnings:
WARNING: Severe injury or damage can occur through improper use of pressure instruments! Do not exceed recommended pressure limits of tubing
!
WARNING: This gauge can display zero pressure when connected to a source of pressure! Do not rely on the display indication before disconnecting - it
!
CAUTION: Never insert any object (other than the 1/8” NPT tting) into the pressure connection! The sensor diaphragm is very thin and can be dam-
!
Zero
To make sure that the calibrator is performing to its rated accuracy, it should be exercised and re-zeroed whenever exposed to changes in temperature (see
Specications). It’s also good practice to check zero as your nal reading too, as these calibrators should return to a perfect zero reading. The 30 series does
not automatically re-zero when rst turned on. The
pable of displaying. The zero reading may also shift when the calibrator is moved from a vertical to a horizontal orientation. This is due to the oil lling that
transmits the pressure signal from the stainless steel diaphragm to the silicon pressure sensor. The magnitude of the shift is typically 0.3”H2O or less.

aged or destroyed by solid or sharp objects. Cleaning of the sensor must be done with appropriate solvents only.
(zero) button can be used as a “ tare” button because it will “zero out” any value the selected range is ca-
Over-range Indication
Over-range conditions will be indicated regardless of the tare value. If the full scale rating of either the low or high pressure sensor are exceeded by 10% or
more, appropriate warning messages will be displayed. Also, if the milliamp input exceeds 55 mA a warning message will appear.
Model 33 Only: These messages will only appear if the parameter being measured is selected for display. For example, if the milliamp input is greater than
55 mA, but milliamps is not selected for display, no over-range warning will be indicated. (The milliamp input is protected by a semiconductor type fuse that
automatically resets once the fault condition is removed.)
Functions 2
Contrast button
The (contrast) button, left of the display, may never have to be pressed. It is provided to compensate in slight contrast changes with temperature and com-
ponent aging. Press the button and the contrast will increase. If you press the
contrast setting, allowing you to adjust it darker until you get the best contrast and legibility.
(contrast) button repeatedly enough times the display will jump to the least
Units buttons and mA / % button
Bottom Line
Pressing the (units) button updates the display to the next unit selection. The mA button scrolls through direct milliamps, % 4-20, and %10-50.
The pressure calibrator will display the following combinations of pressure and/or milliamps:
Top Line
If LP, HP, or mA are not being displayed, press the respective button and the parameter will appear. If the parameter is already on screen, pressing the corre-
sponding button will cause it to cycle to the next scale or units for that button.
On/O button
This function is obvious. What is not obvious is that all the settings are saved when you turn the unit o. When you turn the unit back on it will be set to the
same combinations of ranges and scales. Even the zero or tare value stays the same.
Battery Replacement
The battery is located on top of the unit, under the sliding cover. Batteries must only be changed in a non-hazardous area! The best way to change the bat-
tery is to rst turn o the unit, then replace the battery. All settings will be retained if battery replacement is done this way. If the unit is stored for a long time,
the battery should be removed, to avoid potential damage from battery leakage. If the battery has been removed for storage or the battery was disconnected
while the unit was on, the unit will automatically reset 5 to 10 seconds after reconnecting the battery.
Reset
If, for some reason the unit needs to be reset, remove the battery. Either wait one minute, or short circuit the battery snap connections with any metal object.
If the reset is successful the unit will begin operating when the battery is reconnected without pressing the
(on/o) button.
Functions 3
Measuring Vacuum
All sensors in 30 Series calibrators can be used to measure vacuum, but only ranges rated at 300 PSI (2000 kPa) or less have actually been certied. (Refer to
your calibration certicate.) When measuring pressure less than ambient conditions the display will show a minus (-) sign in the left most position. On some
scales (like kilograms per square centimeter which has 4 decimal places of resolution), this will cause the display to shift right one digit. Resolution won’t be
lost, but part of the range icon will disappear until positive pressure is restored.
CAUTION: 30 Series calibrators are not recommended for continuous use a high vacuum.
LP distance to d iaphragm (-A- to -B-): 22.4 (0.88")
LP volume: 2 ml (0.13 cubic inches)

SI (metric) Versions
“SI” is the French acronym for the International System of Units. 30 Series products with “KPA” in the par t number are intended for markets where only SI units
are permitted. Therefore, these models only have kPa and/or MPa, bar and/or mbar available.
Liquids and gases compatible with PTFE (Polytetrauoroethylene) penetrated, hard anodized aluminum (transducer housing), 316 stainless steel (sensor), and
Viton® (O-ring). (Viton is a registered trademark of Dupont Dow Elastomers.)
Products with the letters “SPSS” in the sux of the part number (e.g., “IS33-36/3000-SPSS”), have stainless steel manifolds and therefore the only wetted mate-
rials are stainless steel and Viton.

If adjustment is required, we recommend returning your 30 Series Calibrator to our factory. Factor y service oers benets you won’t nd anywhere else.
Factory calibration tests the 30 Series at a variety of temperatures utilizing NIST traceable standards, resulting in calibration certicates that provide perfor-
mance data over temperature. Our calibration facilities are A2LA accredited to ISO 17025:2005 & ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 (A2LA #2601.01). A2LA is interna-
tionally recognized as an accreditation body by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, ILAC.
Under normal operating conditions, we recommend the 30 Series be calibrated on an annual basis. Your quality system may require more or less frequent
calibration, or your experience, or operating environment may suggest longer or shorter intervals.
Although we prefer that you return the 30 Series to us for calibration, ordinary recertication and/or adjustments may be performed by any qualied
personnel with appropriate training and equipment.
There are no internal potentiometers. The 30 Series contains a “span” factor (userspan), 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 a computer through our free CongM30 software.

CPF: Crystal Pressure Fittings ( )
The Crystal Pressure Fittings & Hose line is purpose-designed for applications in instrumentation, eld testing and pressure calibration. The CPF design im-
proves on standard cone-type ttings with a replaceable O-ring seal. This new sealing method allows users to create leak-free connections, up to 10,000 PSI,
without using tools or thread tape.
Connections between CPF ttings maintain a 4:1 Factor of Safety. When necessary, the 316 Stainless Steel ttings can also be wrench tightened for a vibra-
tion-resistant, metal-to-metal seal. A Safety Weep Hole designed into the side of the tting alerts users, by leaking gas or test uid, before a disconnection
under pressure causes injury or damage.
CPF oers one of the widest selections from a single manufacturer, featuring over 90 adapters to other types like NPT and BSP, and other manufacturers like
