1. General Information
The Hastings HPM-2002-OBE is a small, low cost electronics module which provides the user with
accurate vacuum measurements over a wide range of pressure. The HPM-2002-OBE uses the same rugged
HPM-2002s transducer tube as the HPM-2002 bench top instrument. This tube features two sensors; a
patented thin-film Pirani sensor and a piezoresistive sensor combined in a single tube with a matched EEPROM
(Electrically Erasable/Programmable Read Only Memory).
The HPM-2002-OBE electronics module combined with the HPM-2002’s tube provides accurate vacuum
measurement from 1x10
-4
Torr to 1000 Torr. The HPM-2002-OBE is designed for quick, easy installation and
will provide the user with long lasting, trouble free, reliable vacuum measurement.
1.1. Features:
• Low-Cost Electronics Module
• Wide Dynamic Range 1x10
• Combined Sensors in a Single Tube
• Input Voltage (11.5-30 VDC)
• Connector: 15-pin high-density male “D”
• Optional 4-digit LED Display
• Optional Outputs (Dual 0-10 volt analog or RS232/485)
-4
Torr to 1000 Torr
1.2. Model 2002 Sensors
The Model 2002 transducer tube is comprised of an ion implanted piezoresistive, direct force sensor and a
thin film Pirani type sensor. The Pirani sensing element is a Pt thin film serpentine element deposited on a 1
micron thick Si
by a thick Si lid parallel to the membrane and open on two ends. The piezoresistive unit is an ion implanted
Wheatstone bridge in a 50 micron thick Si membrane peripherally supported by a Si box shaped die which has
been anodically bonded to a Pyrex substrate.
The dual sensor assembly is encased in a corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel tube shell. The durable tube
design withstands high pressure (150 psig/10.2 bar) and high pressure surges. Since the Pirani sensor is
miniaturized and employs a Pt thin film on a Si
transducer can withstand high levels of mechanical shock.
membrane. The membrane is peripherally supported by a Si box shaped die and is covered
3N4
membrane (instead of a conventional long fragile wire), the
3N4
The Model 2002 is designed for fast response. The micro machined sensing elements have a very small
mass and operate in a constant temperature (Pirani) and a constant current (piezo) feedback mode. This makes
response time very fast as compared to other commercially available sensors which have to change the
temperature of a significant mass to reflect pressure changes and have a large internal volume which must
equalize in pressure with the system before the sensor can reach its final value. The transducer’s small internal
volume (<1.5 cc) permits rapid pneumatic response to system pressure changes. Further, the small geometry of
the transducer prevents thermal convection currents which allows the sensor to be mounted in any orientation
without calibration shifts.
1.3. HPM-2002-OBE Analog Output Module
The analog output (0-10 V) module consists of a power conversion/sensor transducer board,
microprocessor board and a user interface option board. Two 0-10 Volt linear outputs are generated for the user
via the high-density 15-pin “D” connector. The first of these outputs covers the pressure range from 0 to 1024
Torr. The second output covers the range from 0 to 1000 mTorr. A four digit floating-point LED display is
standard.

(Identical to 1.3, except replace 0-10 V with 4-20 mA)
HPM-2002-OBEVacuum Gauge Page 5 of 39
1.5. HPM-2002-OBE RS232/485 Output Module
The RS232/485 module consists of a power conversion/sensor transducer board, microprocessor board and
a user interface option board. Serial communication is conducted via an RJ-11 type connector. With RS232
option (EIA-232 Rev. E) communication can easily be established between the module and the serial port of a
PC. The RS485 option allows the user to address multiple units and allows operation at distances of up to 4000
feet. The RS232/485 module includes a four digit floating-point LED display.
1.6. HPM-2002-OBE DeviceNet Module
The DeviceNet module consists of a power conversion/sensor transducer board, microprocessor board and
a user interface option board. All communication is conducted via a 5-pin “Micro” style with center pin, male
pin contacts. The module has passed the ODVA DeviceNet test and conforms to the vacuum/pressure gauge
device profile, an Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) with limited features is also available upon request.

2. Installation
This section is designed to assist in getting a new pressure gauge into operation as quickly and easily as
possible. Please read the following instructions thoroughly before installing the instrument.
2.1. Receiving Inspection
Carefully unpack the Hastings Model HPM-2002-OBE Instrument (part # HPM-2002-OBE), and
transducer tube (part #HPM 2002s-xx). Inspect all items for any obvious signs of damage due to shipment.
Immediately advise the carrier who delivered the shipment if any damage is suspected.
Compare each component shipped against the packing list. Ensure that all parts are present (i.e. transducer,
electronics module, hardware, etc.). Optional equipment or accessories will be listed separately on the packing
list.
2.2. Quick Start
• Unpack and inspect all items for any obvious signs of damage due to shipment. Immediately advise the
carrier who delivered the shipment if any damage is suspected.
• Wire the 15-pin “D” connector according to cable pinout (see Table below) using 24 AWG or other
suitable wire.
• Using a unipolar DC Power Supply, set the desired operating voltage within the range of 12 VDC to
30 VDC.
• Connect the HPM-2002-OBE module to the HPM-2002s transducer tube.
• Note that the connector is keyed.
• A finger tight connection is all that is required for adequate operation.
• Transducer tube may be installed in any orientation. However, if condensation is likely to occur, then
the tube port should be orientated downward.
• When installing 1/8” NPT style transducer tube, use the 7/16” wrench flats.
• Attach cable.
• With the vacuum chamber at atmosphere, turn on the power supply (typically +24 VDC. Gauge is
now reading pressure.
• For best accuracy, the gauge should now be zeroed. Pump the vacuum system down to low (10
pressure if possible. Ideally the gauge should be operated in this condition for one hour before setting
the “Zero”.
• To set the “Zero”, place the HPM-2002-OBE in the “CAL” mode by using the “SELECT” button.
• Using a small flat head screwdriver, rotate the “ADJUST” rotary encoder until the unit flashes
between “0.0” and “-0.0”.
• Return to the “RUN” mode by using the “SELECT” button

2.3. Transducer Installation
The transducer tube may be installed in any orientation. Although the transducer tube is rugged and will
perform well in many harsh environments, the tube should be installed in a clean and careful manner. The tube
is configured with the vacuum fitting requested. If your vacuum environment is highly contaminated or has
unique fitting requirements, a Hastings filter or special adapter may be needed. Please contact the Hastings
Instruments Sales Department for assistance in your system configuration.

3. Operating Information
This section contains information on operating the HPM-2002-OBE in any of its various configurations.
Refer to the appropriate section for information on the mode in use.
3.1. Analog Output (0-10V)
3.1.1. Overall Functional Description
The status bar gives information about the condition of the HPM-2002-OBE. High and Low indicate
whether the set points are activated. ERROR indicates if there was a problem downloading the EEPROM. Torr
and mTorr indicate what pressure regime the gauge is measuring.
The mode bar indicates which mode has been selected. The HPM-2002-OBE has five modes which the
user may enter. This is similar to the six modes which can be entered in the bench top/panel mounted HPM2002, there is no interlock feature; when the user changes the setting within a mode, any adjustments that have
been made will be permanent once the mode is exited. To exit without making changes permanent, the user
must turn the power off.
3.1.2. High and Low Set Point Modes
The HPM-2002-OBE provides TTL outputs for process control. These signals are available on the 15-pin
connector (see previous table in Section 2.4).
To view the High set point, place the HPM-2002-OBE in the High mode by pressing the SELECT button
until the High mode light is illuminated. The display then shows the set point selected. During normal operation
the alarm light will illuminate and the TTL output (pin # 1) will go high (+5V) if the pressure exceeds the set
point.
Similarly, to view the Low set point, place the HPM-2002-OBE in the Low mode by pressing the SELECT
button until the Low mode light is illuminated. The display then shows the set point selected. During normal
operation the alarm light will illuminate and the TTL output (pin # 2) will go high (+5V) if the pressure
becomes less than the set point.
To adjust a setpoint, place the HPM-2002-OBE in either setpoint mode (High or Low). Next, use the
ADJUST rotary encoder until the desired setpoint is displayed. Finally, place the HPM-2002-OBE back in the
Run mode. The new setpoints are now stored in the HPM-2002-OBE’s memory.
HPM-2002-OBEVacuum Gauge Page 9 of 39
3.1.3. Run Mode
The HPM-2002-OBE will automatically enter the Run mode upon start-up. This is the mode for normal
operation and the mode in which the instrument will spend most of its time. In the Run mode the HPM-2002OBE will continuously monitor the pressure, update the alarm conditions, and update the display about ten
times a second.
3.1.4. Cal Mode
Optimal performance of the HPM-2002-OBE is achieved by performing in situ adjustments to the
calibration coefficients in the Cal mode. There are three calibration coefficients. These are the zero coefficient,
the midrange coefficient, and the atmosphere coefficient. Once a tube has been fully calibrated the midrange
coefficient should never need further adjustment, but it may be helpful to adjust the zero coefficient or the
atmosphere coefficient under certain circumstances. The CAL MODE presupposes that the operator is
applying a known pressure of the correct gas composition (see GAS MODE). The factory calibration points are
800 Torr, 7 Torr, and < 10
should be somewhat close, and must be within the ranges shown in the following figure. The HPM-2002-OBE
detects the voltage signal within the sensor tube, which is converted and displayed as a pressure reading. The
resulting pressure reading determines which of the three coefficients will be adjusted.
-6
Torr. The user’s calibration points are not required to be exactly those values, but
The operator action is the same for adjustment of all three of the coefficients, except that he must apply the
proper calibration pressures according to the calibration point he is about to adjust. To adjust a calibration
HPM-2002-OBEVacuum Gauge Page 10 of 39
coefficient, place the HPM-2002-OBE in the Cal mode using the SELECT button. Then turn the ADJUST
rotary encoder. The Cal light will begin to flash during adjustment and will continue to flash until the Cal mode
is exited using the SELECT button.
To perform a full calibration on the HPM-2002-OBE, first use the Zero Coefficient Adjustment Procedure.
Followed by the Midrange Coefficient Adjustment Procedure, and finally perform the Atmosphere Coefficient
Adjustment Procedure. Sensor Coefficients are stored in the Sensor’s EEPROM upon exiting the Cal mode.
3.1.5. GAS Mode
The HPM-2002-OBE can provide true pressure measurements in many gas environments. At pressure
levels where the direct force piezoresistive sensor is operative, the instrument is gas composition independent
and measures the true pressure regardless of gas composition. The Pirani is gas composition sensitive so the
actual composition must be known and the Pirani calibrated in that gas. When the vacuum system’s gas
composition is dominated by a single gas species (for example, during system venting with an inert gas), the user
can enter a gas selection into the HPM-2002-OBE by rotating the ADJUST rotary encoder. To view the gas
selection, depress the SELECT button until the GAS light is illuminated. The number on the display
corresponds to the gas. See the table below.

3.1.6. Analog Output (0-10V)
The dual (0 - 10V) output option board provides voltage outputs proportional to the HPM-2002-OBE’s
pressure reading. The first channel (pin 5) corresponds to the higher-pressure range (0 - 1024 Torr). The
second channel (pin 7) corresponds to the lower pressure range (0 - 1000 mTorr). The equation below gives the
output voltage on the pressure:
channelV =

Where V(channel 1) is the voltage between pins 5 and 6, V(channel 2) is the voltage between pins 7 and 6,
and the pressure is indicated in Torr.
