3. Product description
3.1 Proper use
The CPC3000 High Speed Pressure Controller is a bench top or rack mounted Digital Pressure
Calibrator/Controller used for test and calibration of mechanical pressure gauges, pressure
switches, sensors, transducers, transmitters and any pressure related devices where time to
set point is the most critical requirement.
Only dry clean air or nitrogen should be used as the pressure medium. Shop
air should be avoided and corrosive, oxidizing, condensing, explosive gases
!
Warning
!
Warning
should be strictly avoided.
The maximum permissible supply pressure at the supply port should be
10% over full scale value of the sensor installed.
Very fast pressure changes can damage the sensor, due to mechanical
stress on the sensor; especially if the fast pressure change leads to an
internal pressure which is higher then the full scale of the internal sensor
(even if it is only for a fraction of a second). In some cases, the internal relief
valves cannot react quickly enough to protect the sensor.
!
Warning
The Internal pressure sensors have a calibration certificate for the entire measuring chain.
The system is not suitable for use in areas with an explosion hazard.
If the CPC3000 is not used according to this manual, safe operation of the
system is not guaranteed.
The user of the system and not the manufacturer is responsible for all
physical and material damage resulting from improper use!

3.5.1 Keys, tabs, check boxes, labels/graphics
Keys: There are two types of keys: those that act as a switch to change a condition and
those that open a data entry screen when pressed. Keys have borders with a three dimensional, shadowed effect (examples:
, ). Throughout this
manual keys are represented with the displayed characters enclosed in brackets ( Example:
[MEASURE] ) or a description and the actual graphic icon (example: [SETUP]
). Pressing a key will have one of the following results: 1) instant, single step response, 2) continuously repeating steps while the key is held down, 3) the key will change colors indicating that
the associated function is active or 4) a data entry dialog box will open. Operators will quickly
become accustomed to the particular characteristics of the frequently used keys.
Tabs: Tabs are analogous to tabs in a notebook that allow switching quickly between related
screens. Tabs are keys that allow the operator to switch between a group of screens that have a
similar purpose, for example the
tabs allow the operator to quickly switch between
four screens used to enter the setpoint.
Check Boxes: Check Boxes
allow for the inclusion or exclusion of specific elements or
conditions.
Labels and Graphics: Labels and Graphics are text, or graphics that display information, but
do not respond to being touched (examples:
). They indicate choices
that have been made in the setup menus or indicate existing conditions as pressure is controlled or
measured.

3.6 Front panel navigation and variations
Screen Hierarchy: Navigation within the CPC3000 is similar to a computer file system or a web
page. Keys or tabs activate sub-menus. Within the sub-menus there may be related sub-menus
or selections. To return back through the hierarchy of screens the [BACK]
Throughout this manual screen hierarchy will be designated using the following convention:
"main->sub-menu->selection" or "main->sub-menu->tab->selection". Sometimes, a reference
to a key will be made in the context of a specific screen by simply giving the key name in bold
square brackets [KEY NAME] or by using the key name along with the actual graphic icon. The
Hierarchical menu structure is very intuitive and will become more obvious after reviewing following examples.
Bar Graph: The bar graph shows the relative indication of the range of the internal sensor, the user
defined limits on the internal sensor, the unused portion of the internal pressure sensor range, the
setpoint and the magnitude of the actual controlled pressure. The user defined control limits can
be selected in the Main->Setup->Control screen and can be set to correspond to the range of
the device under test. It is important to note that when the STEP keypad is active in percent mode, each step is a percent of the user defined limit not the full scale of the internal sensor.
This is useful when calibrating or testing various range devices. Figure - "Bar Graph" shows the
bar graph when the CPC3000 is in vent mode with a setpoint of 2.5 psig. The user defined range is
0 to 4 and there is an unused portion of the internal sensor.

The jog keypad shown in Figure - "Jog Keypad" provides a way
to jog the setpoint up or down by small steps. The step size is
determined by the resolution, the maximum control limit and/
or the units of measure. For example, if the resolution is set to
display four decimals then the small triangle pointing up will
change the setpoint by 0.0001 and the small triangle pointing
down will change the setpoint by -0.0001. In the same way, the
medium triangles will change the setpoint by +/- 0.0010 and the
large triangles will change the setpoint by +/- 0.0100 as shown
in the figure. When the resolution, the maximum control limit
or the units of measure are changed so that three decimals are
displayed, then the jog functions will change to +/- 0.001, +/-
0.010 and +/- 0.100 respectively. This is useful when adjusting
the controller to reach a cardinal point on a dial gauge.

7.8.2 Setup Control
Configuration of parameters associated with setting limits and adjusting parameters used to
control pressure are configured in the Main->Setup->Control menu shown in
Figure - "Setup Control".
Figure - Setup Control
Maximum and minimum control limits: The [DATA ENTRY] keys above the "Step
Range" label in Figure - "Setup Control" allow the operator to enter a "user defined
range" within the full scale range of the internal sensor. For example, if the CPC3000
has a 0-100 psi internal sensor, the user can define a range of 0-50 psi. When the
user defined range is changed, the step menu automatically adjusts so that the
percent step equals a percentage of the user defined range. Example: 80% value of
a 0-50 psi user defined range is 40 psi; for a user defined range of 0-100 the 80%
value equals 80 psi. The user defined range can be set to the same range as the
pressure device being tested. This is useful when there is a test that requires
calibration at intervals equal to a percentage of the range. Each individual step

1. Enter the pressures applied by the standard in the "Desired" column by pressing the corresponding number on the screen (use row 1 for the "zero" value and row 2 for "span" value).
2. Enter the pressure measured by the CPC3000 sensor in the "Actual" column by pressing the
corresponding number on the screen (use row 1 for the "zero" value and row 2 for "span"
value).
3. When the values are changed, an [Apply] key will appear on the screen. Press the [Apply] key
to save the calibration data and apply the correction to the "zero" and "span".

7.8.5.4.3 Live calibration
The Screen accessible by pressing the [Calibrate] tab, Figure - "Calibrate Calibrate", allows the
operator to perform a live calibration while connected directly to a primary standard. The primary
standard should be able to generate a "zero" pressure that is less than 20% of the full scale value
of the sensor in the CPC3000 and a "span" pressure that is greater than 80% of the full scale
value of the sensor in the CPC3000. For best results, the two points should be as close to the end
points of the sensor’s range as possible.
To perform a live "zero" and "span" calibration:
1. Put the CPC3000 in Measure mode by pressing the [MEASURE] key.
2. Using row 1 for the "zero" value and row 2 for "span" value, enter the pressure generated by
the primary standard in the "Desired" column (pressing the number in the "Desired" column will
open a data entry screen). This is the value of the pressure applied to the CPC3000 Measure/
Control Port. For a gauge sensor the "zero" point can be accomplished simply by pressing the
[VENT] key thus venting the CPC3000 sensor to atmospheric pressure.
3. The CPC3000 will display the measured pressure in the "Actual" column, but only after the
measured pressure is within +/- 3.0 % FS of the value in the "Desired" column. At this point
the row number highlight will turn yellow and the value will be displayed in a key.
4. When the pressure displayed on the key in the "actual' column is stable, press this key. This
action serves to accept the value; as a result, the key will change to a label and display the
accepted data. In addition, the row number highlight will change from yellow to green indicating that the number has been accepted.
5. After the "zero" (row 1) and "span" (row 2) have been accepted, press the [APPLY] key to save
changes.

Figure - Setup Remote
8.2 Remote setup – Ethernet
The Ethernet communication port allows the CPC3000 to communicate with computers using
10/100 Bases-T specification. Ethernet communications are transmitted over a standard RJ-45
cable. Connecting directly to a PC requires a crossover Ethernet cable. Hub or router connections
require a straight Ethernet cable.
Before using Ethernet communication, four parameters must be set up: IP, Netmask, Gateway
and Port. In Figure - "Ethernet Setup" the Main->Setup->Remote->Ethernet setup screen is
shown. Each value entry key opens an alpha or numeric data entry screen to change values of the
Ethernet parameters.

8.3 Remote setup – USB
The USB communication port allows the CPC3000 to communicate with computers using a USB
cable. The connection on the back panel of the CPC3000 is a Type B recepticle. The USB Driver
can be downloaded at http://www.mensor.com/download_software_instrument_en_um.WIKA.

8.4 Remote setup – IEEE-488
The IEEE-488 communication port allows the CPC3000 to communicate with computers using an
IEEE-488 cable. This screen, Figure - "IEEE-488 Address", is accessed by pressing the IEEE-488
numeric value box in the Main->Setup->Remote screen. After pressing the numeric value box a
number entry keypad will appear for entering the new IEEE-488 address. The manufacturer of the
host IEEE-488 interface board provides software to allow communication between the board and
various programming languages. An interactive program for debugging is usually provided as well.

8.5 Remote command set
This remote command set is the default set available on the CPC3000. All CPC3000 remote
operation commands are included in the lists below. All commands must be terminated with a
<cr> or a <lf>.
For a query command (ends with a ?), the Data column represents the response of the CPC3000.
All response strings begin with a space character or an “E” representing that there is an error in
the CPC3000 error queue. All response strings are terminated with a <cr> and a <lf>. The error
queue holds the last 10 errors identified by the CPC3000.
For all commands without a question mark (?), the data column represents the required parameters to be sent to the CPC3000 following the string in the command column. For any command
that requires multiple parameters to be sent to the CPC3000, the parameters must be separated
by commas.
