1.4 CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS DOCUMENT

We have provided this section of the Handbook to help you identify noteworthy symbols,
terms and conventions used in this handbook. Look for the following:

Symbol used to identify an
action thatcan cause personal
injury or damage to equipment.

Conformité
Européenne

Terms and definitions:
We define calibration as being able to compare
the ability of the equipment to perform to a
known standard. Pressure calibration provides a
means of quantifying uncertainties in pressure
measurement in order to optimize sensor and/or
system accuracy.

1.5 BATTERY CHANGE / BATTERY LIFE

When the battery starts weakening, a low battery warning (BAT LOW) will appear in the upper
left corner of the display. Battery change: Open the instrument (turn the display ring beyond
the limit stop). Open the battery compartment and change the battery (type CR2430).
Make sure that the O-ring remains embedded in the cover. The battery life is 150 hours in
Peak-mode (at continous operation) and 1000 hours in normal measuring mode.
For PC705M the battery life is approximately 2000 hours in normal measuring mode.

1.6 PM205 / PC705M NOT OPERATING / FAILED

Repairs must be done by manufacturer or supplier certified for service/repair.
Replacement parts must be obtained from the manufacturer.

2 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

PM205 / PC705M

Digital Pressure Calibrator

2.1 DISPLAY, CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

The PM205 / PC705M has two operating keys. The left key (SELECT) serves to select the
functions and the pressure units. The right key (ENTER) activates the selected function or
pressure unit. The right key is also used to switch between the MAX.- and MIN.-value in both
the Mano- and Peak-mode.

PM205 / PC705M User’s manual

Turn-on:

Pressing the SELECT key turns the instrument on.

The instrument subsequently displays the software version (year/week), the full-scale pressure
range, the actual pressure (top display) and the last measured MAX.-value (bottom display).

The instrument has the following functions:

RESET: Max.-/Min.-value and Peak-value are set to the actual pressure
OFF: Turns off the instrument
MANO: Releases the following functions:
PEAK off: Normal measuring mode with 2 measurements per second
PEAK on: Fast measuring mode with 5000 measurements per second
ZERO SEt: Sets a new Zero reference
ZERO rES: Sets the Zero to factory setting
CONT on: Deactivates the automatic turn-off function
CONT off: Activates the automatic turn-off function (the instrument turns off 15 minutes

after the last key function)followed by the unit selection.

PM205: bar, mbar, hPa, kPa, MPa, PSI, kp/cm²
PC705M: bar, mbar, hPa, kPa, MPa, PSI, kp/cm², cm-H2O, mH2O, inH2, ftH2O, mmHg, inHg

Example: Setting a new Zero Reference:

--> Turn on the instrument by shortly pressing the SELECT-key.

--> Wait for the instrument’s measuring mode (approx. 3 seconds).

--> Press the SELECT-key 3 times: MANO appears.

--> Press ENTER: PEAK on or PEAK off appears.

--> Press SELECT: ZERO SEt appears.

--> Press ENTER: The new Zero reference is set. The
instrument returns to the measuring mode.

Example: Setting new pressure unit (mbar).

--> Turn on the instrument by shortly pressing SELECT.

--> Wait for the instrument`s measuring mode (≈ 3 s).

--> Press the SELECT-key 3 times: MANO appears.

--> Press ENTER: ZERO SEt appears.

--> Press SELECT: ZERO rES appears.

--> Press SELECT: CONT on or CONT off appears.

--> Press SELECT: bar appears.

--> Press SELECT. mbar appears.

--> Press ENTER: The new pressure unit (mbar) is set.
The instrument returns to the measuring mode.

Display of the Minimum Pressure Value

When in the measuring mode (Display: Actual Pressure and Max.- value), you may display the
Min.-value for 5 seconds by shortly pressing the ENTER-key.

8

Notes:

1) The functions and units can also be called up by keeping the SELECT-key depressed.
Releasing the key enables the displayed function or unit to be activated with the ENTER-key.

2) If the selected function or unit is not activated within 5 seconds with the ENTER-key,
PM205 / PC705M returns to the measuring mode without changing any settings.

3) Turning PM205 / PC705M on and off does not influence any of the previous settings.

4) If the PEAK on or CONT on function is activated, it is indicated with a flashing sign on the
display.

5) If a pressure can not be represented on the display, OFL (overflow) or UFL (underflow)
appears on the display.

6) If the actual pressure goes beyond the measuring range, the last valid pressure value starts
flashing on the display.

2.2 COMMUNICATION PC705M

Interface (RS485)

The interface converter K-103A (RS232) or K-114A (USB) can be connected at the back of the
manometer (Fischer plug Series 103), allowing the data transfer to the PC.
The corresponding PC software can be found on our web site.
Note: The RS485 interface may only be used outside the zone with a potentially explosive
atmosphere!

The connection at the rear for the RS485 interface may only be used outside the zone with a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Due to the internal capacitances only a safe maximum voltage of Um = 6,3 V may be applied
and the power of 0,9 W may not be exceeded.
This guarantees that the capacitance limit for the basic voltage level is not exceeded on
reintroducing the equipment to the hazardous zone.
The battery may be changed inside the zone with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
The following battery type must be used in explosive atmospheres: Renata CR2430 or
CR2430MFR
Do not conduct such processes in close proximity, which generate charged particles
(air ioniser, high-voltage electrodes, etc.)

2.3 MEASURING PROCEDURE OF THE PEAK-MODE

PM205 / PC705M User’s manual

2.4 INSTALLATION

Ref. A) Screw the G ¼“ male port of PM205 / PC705M into the choosen pressure pump and
tighten using the lower hexagon of the transducer. Loosen the upper hexagon and rotate the
PM205 / PC705M to the desired position. Retighten. Ref. Chapter 4 to 7 for further details.

Ref. B) The face of the PM205 / PC705M can be rotated trough 355 Degrees. This feature allows
the PM205 / PC705M to be mounted in all possible positions; vertical, horizontal or upside
down.

2.5RANGES / CALIBRATION

The factory setting of the Zero for the ranges -1…3 bar, -1…30 bar or -1...60 bar is at 0 bar
absolute. For sealed gauge pressure measurements, activate “Zero Set” at ambient pressure.
Instruments with ranges > 60 bar are calibrated in a sealed gauge mode at ambient pressure.
