1 - Introduction
1.1. General Description
The PCON-Y17 Pressure Controller enables the control of pneumatic pressure
up to 3000 psi (210 bar), including gauge and absolute pressure (optional barometric
reference). Provides all features required for easier calibration and adjustment services
on process instruments such as pressure transmitters, pressure switches, and
manometers. It has a high level of accuracy, including aspects relating to changes in
room temperature, and it maintains the specifications over long periods of time.
Besides providing high accuracy pressure values, it also allows the measurement
of signals generated by the instrument under test which is being calibrated. This is
possible due to an embedded calibrator specific for these types of signal, including
current 4-20 mA. Thus, PCON-Y17 incorporates the functions of pressure controller,
digital pressure standard and calibrator for mA, V, mV, Ohms and RTD.
It is also a Hart® Communicator (optional) with a configurable internal
resistance, transmitter power supply and latest DD as optional, in order to easily
configure and calibrate Hart® pressure transmitters.
A highly visible 5.7” touchscreen display allows easy configuration and userfriendly operation.
PCON-Y17 features full advanced documenting capabilities. It enables the
creation and execution of automatic calibration procedures (Tasks). After completing a
task, a Calibration Report is issued and it can be printed directly on a USB connected
printer or a PDF document can be generated.
Communication with the computer through SCPI commands for on-line data
acquisition and control of the calibrator.

2 - Calibrator Operation
Turn on the PCON-Y17 by pressing the power switch (located on the rear panel
for the DT version, and on the front panel for the RM version).
When powered on, the calibrator goes through a self-test routine. In case of
failure, it displays a message to indicate the error; if that occurs, please contact the
Presys Technical Assistance department.
After the self-test is completed, the display shows the main menu, as showed
below.

When first entering the CALIBRATOR menu, the PCON-Y17 executes a VENT
operation and an AUTO RESET of the pressure read in the Pressure Control Module.
When it is done, it goes to MEASURE mode and opens the output isolation valve (see
the module layout in section 2.1.2). The following screen is displayed.

The Pressure Control Module has three operation modes: MEASURE, VENT and
CONTROL (see sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4). To select an operation mode, press one
of the buttons indicated below. The current state is indicated by the symbol.
Fig. 06 - Pressure Control Module - Operation Modes
2.1.1. Pressure Control Module – Connections
PCON-Y17-DT controls the pressure in the output port with high precision and
stability. To control the pressure, a pressure between 110% and 130% of the full range of
the control range is applied to the SUPPLY (+) power port, except for the 3,000 psi range
which has a reduced range of 104% to 110% of the full scale. The pressure supply must
be pneumatic, dry and clean air, nitrogen or inert gases.
If it is not possible to supply the PCON-Y17 with a pressure between 110% and
130% of the full range of the control range (and between 104% and 110% FS for the
range of 3,000 psi), a lower supply pressure may be used, but the instrument control
range will also be reduced. The PCON-Y17 measures the supply pressure and
automatically sets its control parameters for better performance. If the pressure is not
sufficient, a warning is displayed on the screen.
The presence of water, oil or particles in the pressure control module can cause
irreparable damage to the system. Equipment and connections must be clean and dry
when connected to both pressure supply and output. The use of impurities filters is
necessary to protect the system. The use of 10 micron (m) filters is recommended.

- For the DT version, all pneumatic connections are located on the rear panel of the PCON-Y17-DT.
- For the RM version, the pneumatic connections VENT, SUPPLY (+) and SUPPLY (-) are located on the
rear panel, pneumatic connections OUT and REF are located on the front panel of the PCON-Y17-RM.
Fig. 07 - Pressure Control Module
If you do not need to control negative pressure, connect to the supply (-) port a
muffling device to reduce the sound levels.
To use the PCON-Y17 with negative supply (vacuum), remove the damper (air
diffuser) from the SUPPLY (-) port and connect the PCON-Y17 vacuum kit and the
vacuum pump (see Fig. 08). The negative supply does not need to be regulated. It is
recommended that the vacuum pump has less than 70 mbar absolute (-13.5 psig)
output.
When installing a vacuum feed, the pump must be protected against positive
pressure discharge by the controller, which may damage and/or reduce the performance
of the vacuum pump. This occurs in set point changes since the PCON-Y17 releases
positive pressure from the system to the atmosphere through the SUPPLY (-) port.
Page 10
PRESYS Instruments PCON-Y17
presys
The reservoir volume of the vacuum kit slows down and attenuates any sudden
increase in positive pressure, thereby protecting the output of the vacuum pump.
Fig. 08 – Connections for Vacuum
Precautions must be taken to prevent the transfer of oil from the vacuum pump to
the PCON-Y17. Before turning off the vacuum pump supply, it is recommended to
disconnect the hose that connects the vacuum pump to the reservoir, allowing
atmospheric pressure to enter directly into the pump and not through the instrument.
Without this procedure, the oil present in the vacuum pump can progressively rise to the
PCON-Y17 through the hose.
