nVision Operation Manual
Overview
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the nVision Reference Recorder from Crystal Engineering Corporation. The philosophy behind nVision:
nVision lets you visualize measurements graphically, with or without a pc, in real time as it is being recorded. It is much easier to identify trends or anomalies
visually, than in tables of data or spreadsheets.
nVision is tremendously exible and can be congured to measure and record a variety of combinations of measurements. In addition to pressure, modules
for temperature, voltage and current can be used.
Because all of these inputs can be displayed individually as numbers or as graphs, or in combination with other inputs (numerically and graphically) we also
provide a way to simplify nVision, so you can limit the available screens to only those that are of use to your specic task.
Accuracy is up to 0.025 percent of reading
temperature compensated
The nVision features two identical bays allowing conguration of the reference recorder to meet your requirements. All modules are eld-replaceable allowing
you the exibility to react to changing needs and module calibration requirements.
The nVision’s case is made from a rugged injection molded polymer utilizing a gasket to seal the enclosure against dust and water intrusion. Even the mini
USB B connector is fully sealed (with or without the protective boot cover). Circuitry is mounted in a shock-absorbing elastomeric system and the batteries are
easily accessible by removing four captive screws.
Other features include:
Log and display 500,000 points at up to 10 readings per second on up to two modules simultaneously
•
Interactive real-time graphing of measurements
•
ATEX / IECEx Scheme intrinsically safe
•
IP67 rated enclosure —1 meter immersion for 30 minutes
•
Uses Crystal’s CPF ttings and hose system (leak-free and nger-tight to 10 000 psi (700 bar))
•
– so there is no change in accuracy throughout the entire operating temperature range!
– so any nVision can typically replace several gauges or calibrators you may have been using. The nVision is fully

DIFFERENTIAL MODE
The nVision automatically displays numerical and graphical dierential screens if two similar module types are installed. ΔP becomes available if your nVision
is populated with two PM modules. ΔT becomes available if your nVision is populated with two RTD100 modules.
In the case of the pressure modules (PM), this mode does not require them to be the same full scale range.
WARNING: Two MA20 modules cannot be installed at once. This conguration may permanently damage your nVision.

Tare
Using the Tare function improves your dierential measurement uncertainty signicantly if used properly. The Tare function equalizes (normalizes) the nVision’s two modules at a non-ambient datum. The Tare reading displays the same units as the main ΔP or ΔT reading.
If you apply the same static line pr
to the allowable error tolerance for each module, the reading may not be zero. The Tare function allows you to normalize both readings so that the dierential
reading is zero. This gives you a more accurate dierential reading than if this process were not completed.
Note: Tare should be reestablished every time your measurement conditions change, including vent condition. For instance if your ΔP reading has 8 inH20 of
Tare at 1500 psi static, when you return to vent condition this 8 inH20 of Tare will remain in place on your ΔP reading until cleared with the Tare button.

MODULE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The nVision’s upper and lower bays allow for removal of modules in the eld. All module changes should be completed in a dry, clean environment, indoors.
Proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding techniques should be taken into account prior to the module change over. If you’re removing a module without installing a replacement, a blank plate (P/N: BNKPLT) must be installed to ensure your IP67 rating and to protect the product.
WARNING: Do not install two MA20 modules simultaneously. Permanent damage may occur.
!
CAUTION: Do not proceed unless you have a suitable replacement module or blank plate for the module bay in question.
!
Note: Follow these steps to change modules.

PRESSURE MODULE PM INSTRUCTIONS
Pressure Connection
Crystal CPF System: Medium Pressure Female (MPF) (1/4” medium pressure tube system with 7/16-20 threads). See our CPF Brochure for further information.
CPF o-ring size and material: AS568A-012, Viton 90 durometer (P/N 3981).
For most applications CPF Fittings can be hand tightened (no tools required). Wrench tightening is recommended (to achieve a metal to metal cone seal) for
applications where chemical compatibility of the process uid and the o-ring are a concern. Cone seals require only moderate assembly torque to seal up to
10 000 psi (700 bar). We recommend a tightening torque of 120 in-lbs ±20 in-lbs for our CPF ttings. Please note this is only a fraction of the typical torque
required to seal a 1/4” NPT tting. If a torque wrench isn’t practical to use, the ttings can be assembled as follows: Hand tighten tting fully
until the cone has bottomed out. Tighten an additional 20º using a wrench. Apply a small amount of media-compatible lubricant to the gland threads and
male cone to increase tting life
, reduce the likelihood of galling, and promote sealing.
Measuring Vacuum
All versions of the nVision can be used to measure moderate vacuum.
When measuring pressure less than ambient barometric conditions, a minus (-) sign will appear.
CAUTION: The nVision is not recommended for continuous use at high vacuum.
!
Water Density (Inches of Water)
The following applies only to models where inches of water is a selectable pressure unit. As shipped from the factory, the nVision is set to display inches of
water corresponding to the density of water at 4°C (39.2°F).
at 4°C (39.2°F), 20°C (68°F), or 15.6°C (60°F) temperatures.
You may require a dierent water density for your application. CrystalControl allows the user to select the appropriate water density desired
Modules 17
Overpressure Conditions
The nVision will read pressure up to approximately 110% of the rated pressure range. Above 110% of the range the display will start ashing and the readings
will not be reliable. The zero function does not aect when the display starts ashing to indicate overpressure, so depending on the zero value it is possible
that the display can start ashing without the maximum pressure being displayed.
For instance, if a 100 psi nVision 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).

nVision Operation Manual
CURRENT, VOLTAGE, AND SWITCH TEST MA20 MODULE INSTRUCTIONS
The nVision MA20 module has three operational modes: current measurement, voltage measurement, and switch test. Each mode may be selected via the
Setup menu, and can only be operated one at a time.
To ensure proper connection to the MA20 Module use the following strategy:
1 Ensure that power is o on the circuit that you are about to measure.
2 Ensure your nVision is in correct MA20 Mode: mA, %4-20mA, %10-50mA, Voltage, or Switch Test.
3 Insert the Negative (black) 2mm lead jack to the proper location (black terminal) on the MA20 module. Connect the other end of the black lead to the
appropriate terminal of the source.
Insert the Positive (red) 2mm lead jack to the proper location (red terminal) on the MA20 module. Connect the other end of the red lead to the appropriate
4
terminal of the source.
5 Power up circuit and measure or record the readings as appropriate.
6 Never change modes or electrical sources without rst removing the nVision from the circuit. Failure to do so may damage the nVision.
WARNINGS: The following warnings apply to the MA20 module:
!
Never install two (2) MA20 modules simultaneously. This conguration may permanently damage your nVision.
•

4 Lubricate o-ring and thread system with Dow 111 or equivalent in location near terminal block as required to prevent water intrusion when connector shell
is installed. Thread shell in place until tight.
5 Leak check to ensure water tight seal. If any leaking occurs, rework and lubricate as necessary. If leak-free, your RTD sensor is ready to use with the nVision
Reference Recorder.
Note:
Your nVision has the RTD100 module TCR set to Pt100 (385) Euro. Modify this setting in CrystalControl as needed.
Modifying the Base Resistance (Ro)
As with any measurement device, it is possible the sensor will drift over time or from extreme temperatures. The nVision allows a user dened oset to the
100Ω base resistance experienced at 0ºC if needed to improve the performance of your sensor.
Dierential Temperature
The Tare function also allows you to equalize the dierential temperature or resistance measurements to improve your measurement accuracy. Therefore,
if you apply the same temperature or resistance signal to both RTD100 sensor elements simultaneously you should have a ΔT reading of zero. Due to the allowable error tolerance for each module, the reading may not be zero. The Tare function allows you to normalize both of these readings so that the ΔT reading

Therefore, you will have a much more accurate ΔT reading than you normally would have if this process was not completed. Note that generally ac-
is z
cepted lab practices should be followed when trying to establish a common temperature measurement on two independent sensors.
he Tar
e should be reestablished every time you are at a new temperature or resistance. For instance if your ΔT reading has 0.2°C of Tare at 220°C, when you
T
return to ambient conditions this 0.2°C of Tare will remain in place on your ΔT reading until cleared with the button.
Modules 31
Dierential Temperature Measurement Uncertainties without Tare
The RTD100 module is capable of both temperature and resistance measurements. The resistance measurement uncertainty can be calculated by
combining the uncertainties of the two resistance measurements. The following formulas describe the combined uncertainty of two RTD100 Module
resistance measurements.

error in your ΔT reading. Comparing these results would represent the full range of Δt readings that you would see in your application.

RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTORS RTD
Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) are temperature sensors that contain a resistor that utilize the predictable change in electrical resistance of particular materials over temperature. Platinum elements have been used for many years in laboratories and industrial processes, and have a reputation for range,
epeatability, and stability. The selection strengths of RTDs, or sometimes called PRT (platinum resistance thermometer) are their wide temperature
linearity, r
range (approximately -200 to 850ºC), accuracy (better than thermocouples), good interchangeability between similar sensors, and long-term stability.
Callendar-Van Dusen Equation
The relationship between temperature and resistance is given by the Callendar-Van Dusen equation.
RT = R0 [1 + AT + BT
RT = R0 [1 + AT + BT
Where: RT = the resistance at temperature, T; R0 = the resistance at 0°C; and the constants A, B, and C dependent upon RTD selected (TCR).

nVision Operation Manual
RTD100 System Measurement Uncertainties
To understand the total system measurement uncertainty of the temperature measurement you must consider both the nVision and the RTD sensing element
uncertainties utilized in the test application. Since the uncertainties of nVision and the sense element are independent of each other, they must be combined
properly with the preferred square root of the sum of the squares
The proper selection of the RTD sensing element is very important as the error associated with this device is the majority of the overall system measurement
uncertainty. IEC 751 is the standard that denes the temperature versus resistance for 100Ω, 0.00385 Ω/Ω/°C platinum RTDs. IEC 751 denes two classes of
RTDs: Class A and B. Class A RTDs operate over the -200 to 630°C range versus -200 to 800°C for the Class B elements. For example, the Class A uncertainty is
about half that of the Class B elements as illustrated in the following table.
Tolerance Class Temperature Deviation Accuracy at 0°C Standard
Class A ±(0.15 + 0.002*t)°C 100.00 ± 0.06 Ω DIN/IEC751
Class B ±(0.3 + 0.005*t)°C 100.00 ± 0.12 Ω DIN/IEC751
1 We recommend combining system expanded uncertainties in accordance with recommendations
outlined in ISO “Guide to Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM).
The uncertainties typically reported by us represent expanded uncertainties using a coverage factor
k=2 to approximate a 95% condence level. The typical method of combining
uncertainties is the root sum squares of the individual contributing uncertainties and will be
calculated as such for the example shown.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The nVision is a very high performance reference recorder. 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 read and measure pressure to a degree not possible with other instruments.
Noisy or unstable reading when used with uids
When calibrating or comparing the indicated pressure from an nVision against a hydraulic deadweight tester or piston gauge, the reading on the nVision may
appear unstable—the least signicant digit jumps up and down several counts.
Reason
Gas (usually air) is trapped in the line between the nVision and the deadweight tester. What is actually happening is the mass is oscillating up and down, and
the combination of gas and uid is acting like a spring. At higher pressures (above 2000 psi, typically) this may eventually diminish, as the gas dissolves into
the uid.
Solution
Evacuate all tubing with a vacuum pump before introducing uid 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.
Reason
As in the previous note, gas has dissolved into the hydraulic uid. When decreasing the pressure, the dissolved gas then leaves the uid, but at an uneven rate,
so a small pressure dierential (due to uid head pressure) may exist between the reference deadweight and the gauge being tested.
Solution
Evacuate all tubing with a vacuum pump before introducing uid into the system.
Support 44
Slow return to zero and/or non-repeatability of pressure measurements
Reason
Pressure port is obstructed.
Solution
Clean with low pressure uid. Do not touch diaphragm as damage will result.

nVision Operation Manual
Error 1 displayed
Reason
The nVision checks the integrity of internal calibration coecients every time it’s turned on. If any coecients have been corrupted in any way, “Error 1” is
displayed.
Solution
Contact factory for instructions on how to restore the memory to the original factory settings.
Error 2 displayed
Reason
The nVision has tried to display a number too large for the display (i.e., more than 6 digits). May be due to an electrical malfunction or numerical error.
Solution
Contact factory for further instructions.
Error 5 or Error 6 displayed
Reason
The nVision pressure module (PM) is exhibiting out of normal operating condition behavior.
Solution
Contact factory for module replacement.
Error 7 displayed
Reason:
The nVision has lost communication with one or both of your modules.
Solution
It may be possible to recover from this condition by removing and reconnecting your modules using the Module Installation Instructions in this manual. This
may happen if you change modules but do not remove and replace the 4AA, USB, or AC Power to the unit to force a complete reset of the product. Once this
is done the module should be recognized properly. If unsuccessful in resolving the issue, contact factory for module replacement.
Support 45
Date and Time are incorrect
Reason
The nVision has its date and time synchronised to computers located in our factory.
Solution
Connect to CrystalControl on a computer with the correct date and time settings you desire. During the connection process, the nVision
will be synchronized to the local time.
