Buttons, Labels and Windows: The CPG2500 touch screen has many buttons with relevant graphic
icons or text which, when pressed, will open a related window where changes can be made or information viewed. Some of these buttons will toggle from one state to another, others present choices or display a numerical data entry screen. Text or icons that are displayed, but do not respond to being touched,
are called labels or windows. Operators will quickly become accustomed to the particular characteristics
of the frequently used buttons.
Main Screen: The main screen or “Measure Application”, appears after power-up. This screen contains
the channel frames and settings button. It will remain as congured after a power cycle.
Transducer Channel Frame(s): The transducer channel frames (left 2/3 of the screen) contain informa-
tion specic to a channel. Up to three channels can be displayed at once, two are shown in the picture
above. The channel frames are color coded with channel A - green, channel B - blue and the remote
channel - red. The optional barometer channel is sky-blue and the delta channel is yellow. If only one
channel is installed, a full frame will be displayed in the color of the channel connected. The channel
frame contains the pressure reading, units, and mode(absolute or gauge) plus any auxiliary displays that
have been chosen.
3.5 Chassis Assembly
The chassis assembly is the housing for the system and the removable transducers. The system has no
user-serviceable parts, and therefore the chassis should not be opened except by qualied repair personnel at Mensor or certied service locations for any reason except to change the removable transduc-
ers.

Accuracy is dened by total measurement uncertainty with the coverage factor (k=2) and includes the intrinsic performance of the instrument (linearity, hysteresis, repeatability), the measure-
ment uncertainty of the reference instrument, long term stability, inuences of ambient conditions, drift and temperature eects over the calibrated range, with periodic zero point adjustment.
(2)
The Intelliscale (IS) specication is a percent of reading specication combined with a percent of full scale specication. For example the designation “0.01% IS-50”, simply means that the
uncertainty of the sensor is 0.01% of reading above 50% of Full Scale, and 0.01% of 50% of Full Scale below 50% of the Full Scale. The 0.008% IS-33 specication is the same except the
uncertainty is 0.008% and the break over from percent of reading to percent of Full Scale is at 33% of Full Scale. Same rules apply for bidirectional ranges.

Gauge and Bidirectional ranges with full scale or full span range less than 14.5 psi have a calibration interval of 180 days, otherwise the calibration interval is 365 days.

The instrument can be set up on a desk top or it can be rack-mounted. Rack mount hardware is optional
on the CPG2500 (see Section 5.2 Dimensions and Section 8, Options).
The special sensors used in the CPG2500 are relatively insensitive to tilt and vibration. However to further assure stability and accuracy, avoid mounting the instrument on surfaces subject to excessive motor
or machinery vibration.
5.4 Rear Panel
Two slots are available on the rear of the CPG2500. These slots can be lled with a removable transducer
or a remote transducer interface connection. Gauge Transducers will have a reference and a pressure
port. Absolute transducers will have a plug in the reference port. If a barometer is installed a hose barb
tting will be installed in the upper right. Transducers with analog output will have an electrical connection. Positioned on the left side is a remote transducer connection, the RS-232, Ethernet, IEEE-488, USB
device connections for communication, the USB host connection and the 12 VDC power input.

Notice
For pressure range less than 6015 psi, the pressure ports on the rear are female 7/16 - 20 SAE/MS
straight threads per MS16142 and SAE J514 table 14. Connected adaptors require a tube tting boss
seal with an o-ring per MS33656. Mensor can provide a variety of adapter ttings (see Section 8 Options) with the instrument. Do not use sealant on ttings sealed with an o-ring. The integrity of each seal
is particularly important since even microscopic leaks can cause errors in pressure measurements. For a
pressure range greater than 6015 psi, a xed Autoclave F250C/HIP HF4 tting is attached
5.4.2 Pressure Port
The CPG2500 will precisely measure the pressure connected to the pressure port up to the full scale
range of the transducer installed.
5.4.3 Reference Port
The reference port is available on gauge units that have sensors that are not sealed gauge units. For
these units this port is available to connect to the reference side of the sensor. This port is normally left
open to atmosphere but may be connected to a stable reference pressure. In an absolute pressure transducer this port is plugged.
5.5 Remote Communication Connections
See Section 7, Remote Operation, for connections and commands for operation over IEEE-488, Ethernet, USB or RS-232 ports.
5.6 Power Up
Apply power to the power connector on the rear of the instrument using the power adaptor included, and
switch the power switch on the front of the unit ON. The instrument will go through an initialization process and system check. As soon as the system check is completed the system will default to a screen
similar to the one shown in Section 6.1.2 - Display Screen Features. The main measurement screen may
be congured in many dierent ways but initially it will be in a default conguration. Subsequently, the unit
will power up in the conguration that it was in when last powered o. Allow at least 15 minutes of warm
up before performing critical pressure measurements.

6.1.1 Setup Applications
Conguration of the CPG2500 is achieved by changing settings accessed through the Application (“App”)
buttons. Local operation is accomplished by observing the data presented in the display. The appearance
and functionality of the display can be changed by pressing the App button for the related function. After
an app has been chosen, a set of related parameters will appear on the left. After choosing one of these
parameters, a set of selections related to that parameter will appear on the right or a data entry keypad.
The desired selection or data can be entered here.
6.1.2 Display Screen Features
The screen shown below provides a brief description of the features shown on a 2 channel display after
initialization. The left two thirds of the display contains the area where information is displayed (in this
case the Measure Application) and the right one third contains the selection icons for each application.
Channels are color coded: Channel A is green, B is blue, C (remote) is red and the barometer is sky-blue.
Color coding persists throughout all channel-specic screens. A zero or tare button and auxiliary displays
(auxiliary units, rate and peak) will appear in the Measure App if activated. All of the CPG2500 screen
features are described in more detail throughout this manual.

6.4 Applications:
6.4.1 Measure Application
The Measure App is the normal operation screen referred to in previous instruments as the
‘main screen’. This application is dierent from the others in that it is not use to setup the conguration but is used to monitor the pressure applied to the installed transducers.
The screen in gure 6.4.1-A shows the basic Measure App in a three channel instrument. The units but-
ton is always present in each channel. When the units button is pressed a selection of imperial and metric
units will be displayed on the right (gure 6.4.1-B); notice that the Units button has a lighter background
when the selection menu is active. Any unit of measure can be selected for any channel. If a barometric
reference is installed, the Mode button, described below, will toggle from Gauge to Absolute mode when
pressed.

6.4.1.1 Pressure Mode / Emulation Mode
The Mode button is only active if there is an optional Barometric reference installed. Otherwise, the mode
button becomes a label (gure 6.4.1.1) indicating the native mode of the transducer (absolute or gauge).
When an optional barometric reference is installed, a native gauge transducer can emulate absolute
pressure using the barometric reference. Alternatively, a native absolute transducer can emulate gauge
pressure. Emulation can be activated simply by pressing the Mode button.

Auxiliary buttons can be placed in three dierent parts of the screen depending on how they are set in the
Transducer Application. Each auxiliary display can be modied by pressing the displayed button.
Peak: Pressing the Peak button will reset the upper and lower peak value to the current reading, subsequent negative or positive divergence from that reading will be recorded in the button.
Rate: Pressing the Rate button will display a choice of time rate units for the rate denominator.
Units: Pressing the Auxiliary Units button will display the same set of units available for the primary units.
Pressing any of these units will change the auxiliary units to that chosen unit.
6.4.1.3 Zero Button
If the Zero Calibration function has been chosen in the Transducer App (section 6.4.4), then the Zero Cal
Button [
Cal Button is pressed, a keyboard will appear to allow a single point calibration. If the channel is measuring gauge pressure, pressing the button will set the current reading to zero. If the channel is in emulation
mode (absolute or gauge) then the value will not be saved to the sensor but only as a temporary adjustment while in emulation mode. After exiting the emulation mode or after a power cycle, the temporary
adjustment will be cleared. The zero adjustment for a channel not in emulation mode will be saved to the
sensor as if single point calibration had been performed.
] will appear in the Measure App. If the channel is measuring absolute pressure, and the Zero
Figure 6.4.1.4 shows two channels displayed, the zero cal function has been enabled for both channels.
The screen on the left shows both channels with zero buttons. The screen on the right shows the same
two channels, but the zero button on the absolute channel has been pressed, showing the keypad enabled to accept a new single point calibration value.
