    (with or without the red cover or rubber boot). Circuitry is mounted in shock absorbing elastomer supports and the batteries are easily accessible by removing four screws. But you won’t need to change the batteries often, since 3 AA batteries operate the XP2i for up to 1500 hours of continuous use.

  • Page 4: Operating Instructions

    Connect the XP2i to your system. CAUTION: Use a wrench (¾" or 19mm) for installation and removal of XP2i! There is a limit to how much rotational force can be applied to the case, so don’t rely on, or use, the case to screw the XP2i into a fitting, and don’t use the case to remove the XP2i fitting, either.

    Units that you don’t need or never use can be turned off. You can also define a special unit for your XP2i with ConfigXP. You can use the XP2i to display directly in a unit not otherwise available, such as feet of seawater, or foot-pounds of torque. When you select your custom unit from the keypad, the screen displays the USER icon.

Never disconnect pressure instrumentation without first relieving system pressure! To Clear the Zero Value on an XP2i zero...
  • Page 7 (4 times per second), and the displayed value is the average of the most recent 3 to 10 calculations. By increasing the number of calculations in the average, the XP2i will indicate a more stable rate. However, the XP2i will react more slowly to changes in rate.

  • Page 9 The following applies only to models where inches of water is a selectable pressure unit. As shipped from the factory, the XP2i is set to display inches of water corresponding to the density of water at 4° C (39.2° F). You may require a different water density for your application, so the XP2i can be set to use the density of water at 20°...
  • Page 10 Battery Replacement The XP2i uses 3 AA batteries. Loosen the four rear panel screws to gain access to the battery compartment. These four panel screws are captive inside the panel and are not removable. Pull the panel up to expose the battery compartment. After replacing the batteries, the XP2i will start operating immediately...
  • Page 11 Functions  Reset If for some reason the XP2i needs to be reset, remove any battery for at least one minute, then reinstall the battery. If the reset is successful, the XP2i will start operating without pressing the on/off button. Reset will clear the zero, peak values will be reset to the current reading, and the XP2i will be set to the default engineering units.

    DataLoggerXP is an optional data logging mode available for the XP2i gauge. You may purchase the DataLoggerXP option with your original order or add it later. With the XP2i’s long battery life, and Ultra Low Power (ULP) mode, you can log data over an entire year, without the need for external power supplies or battery replacements.

  • Page 14: Installing The Software

    „ „ „ „ „ INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE DataLoggerXP can either be installed from a CD provided by Crystal Engineering, or downloaded from the Crystal Engineering website. We recommend you check the website for the latest version. Installing from the CD Run the Setup.exe application located on the install CD.

    DATALOGGERXP SOFTWARE OPERATION As described in the prior section, the DataLoggerXP application provides complete control of the settings for data logging mode on the XP2i. You can change logging parameters and download data using the application. In this section, you will find a description of each of the functional areas of the application.
  • Page 16  To Connect to the Gauge Plug the serial cable into the computer and XP2i gauge ports. In the DataLoggerXP main window, click Connect. The program will retrieve the current logging parameters, and then allow downloading, viewing, and saving data, as well as updating the logging parameters.
  • Page 17 Data Logging Parameters Logging parameters can be set up one of two ways: on a computer connected to an XP2i, or from the XP2i keypad. This second option allows the user to make changes in the logging parameters while in the field. Once the logging parameters have been selected, the gauge can begin recording data. The two param- eters that affect data logging (logging interval and logging type) are covered below.

  • Page 20: Xp2I Dataloggerxp Gauge Operation

    XP2I DATALOGGERXP GAUGE OPERATION When in data logging mode, XP2i provides data logging capability along with many of the features of a standard XP2i. In order to allow operation as a data logger, some of the standard functionality of the standard XP2i is suspended.
  • Page 21 Keypad Usage The following buttons and button combinations are used to control data logging runs on the XP2i. Where two keys are indicated, the operation is executed by pressing and holding down the first key, then pressing and holding down the second key until the action is completed.
  • Page 22 Holding these two keys will clear the logging memory of the XP2i. If the gauge is recording, you must first stop logging as described above. When these but- tons are pressed, the gauge will first display its current state (Off, CLr, etc), then the number of data points available, and then CLr, indicating the clear action was successful.
  • Page 23 XP2i Reset or Battery Change Data collected by the XP2i will not be lost with a gauge reset or battery change, although any run in progress will be stopped. A reset or battery change will affect the operation of the gauge’s real-time clock. When the XP2i is connected to DataLoggerXP and the logging parameters are set, DataLoggerXP also sets the gauge’s real-time clock.

    TROUBLESHOOTING The XP2i is a very high performance gauge. Due to the high resolution of this product, you may observe conditions that appear to be defects in the product, but are in fact a result of being able to resolve and measure pressure to a degree not possible with other instruments.

  • Page 38: Calibration

    0.025% of reading, or equivalent in terms of percent of full scale. This level of accuracy requires the use of piston (deadweight) gauges or very high performance pressure controllers. “Zero” the XP2i, then record displayed pressure for two or more pressure points. Determine if the XP2i would benefit from an overall increase or decrease of the indicated pressures.
