Description
Overview
The CPC3000 has a compact, light weight design, a reliable
high speed pressure regulator, gauge / absolute / bi-directional
ranges and an optional barometric reference for emulation. These
qualities make the CPC3000 suitable for a variety of applications.
Applications
With an uncertainty of 0.025% FS and a high speed regulator,
the CPC3000 is well suited for use in the production of pressure
sensors, transmitters, transducers, and pressure switches or as
a working standard for the control and calibration of all types of
pressure gauges.
Functionality
A color touch-screen, combined with user-friendly menus, guarantees high productivity in a calibration lab or production facility; all
screens can be viewed in several dierent languages.
To enter the pressure setpoint, the operator can choose between
four input modes which can be selected using the corresponding
tab. The input modes are:
1. The numeric key menu provides a way to enter a specic
pressure set point value to be controlled.
2. The step keypad menu provides dened steps programmed
in pressure increments or percent of a user dened span to
move the pressure setpoint across the range of the instrument under test.
3. The jog key menu provides a way for the operator to dene
small pressure steps up or down to reach a cardinal point on
a dial gauge. The jog buttons increment the least signicant
digit by 1, 10 or 100 counts.
4. The user dened Jog menu provides a way for the operator
to dene any step within the span to increase or decrease
the setpoint.
Software
Customers can create their own test programs using the Mensor
communication command set, the SCPI command set or the
emulation command set used when replacing other calibrators.
Complete testing and calibration systems
Communication with other instruments is made easy with an
IEEE-488.2, an Ethernet and a USB interface. The CPC3000
can be integrated into an existing system, or our Custom Systems
group can design a system to meet a specic need.
