These filters, when connected to the Measure/Control Port at the rear of the instrument, prevent any liquids to enter the controller when the direction of pressure flow is from device under test (DUT) to the controller or when the device under test is vented.
Measure and Control modes in this pressure range. The Vacuum regulator is installed at the Exhaust port of a pressure channel on the CPC6050 (Figure 8.11-A). The installation should only allow the direction of pressure flow away from the controller. This is indicated on the vacuum regulator (Figure 8.11-B).

CPC6050 8.12 Pressure Booster To control pressure, the CPC6050 requires a pressure supply of 10% above the full scale of the instru- ment. The Model 75 Pressure Booster System provides the ability to boost bottle pressure up to the supply pressure requirements of all possible CPC6050 range configurations while maximizing gas bottle/ cylinder usage.
(typically 8 to 10 years). • All repairs associated with the chassis or internal modules should be performed by Mensor due to the complexity of performing these repairs. Replacement of measurement transducers can be done at the customer’s site.
Caution ESD PROTECTION REQUIRED! The proper use of grounded work surfaces and personal wrist straps are required when coming into contact with exposed cir- cuits (printed circuit boards) to prevent static discharge damage to sensitive Operating Instructions - CPC6050...
9.3.2.1 Barometric Reference Removal To remove the optional Barometric reference, first turn off the CPC6050 and loosen the Phillips head screws that secure the door. The barometric reference can be removed by removing the attached ribon cable, loosening the thumb screw, and lifting the barometric reference out of the chassis.

10.2 Environment For maximum accuracy, allow the CPC6050 to warm up a minimum of 15 minutes in ambient temperature within the compensated range prior to a calibration. In addition, the instrument should be at rest on a stable platform that is free of excessive vibration and shock.
600 mTorr absolute and 20% of the active transducer's span to the Measure/Control port of the CPC6050, press the “New Value” button and then enter the reference pressure (known true pressure) using the keypad. If you want to save the value in the transducer, press Save.
Select a Transducer to calibrate by pressing the Channel button at the top of the screen. To calibrate the “Low Point”: 1. The Measure/Control port of the CPC6050 being calibrated should be supplied with a suitable, “Low point” pressure (see section 5.4 - Rear Panel for the port location).
5. The “High Point” Calibration is done in a similar way as the “Low Point”. 6. Supply a pressure to the Measure/Control Port of the CPC6050 being calibrated, using a pressure standard. This pressure should be as close as possible to the full scale value of the selected trans- ducer or at least within 20% of the active transducer's span.

Note: After calibration is complete, return to the Calibration Data Application (Section 10.6) to record the certificate number, calibration interval and the date of calibration. Restoration to factory calibration can also be completed in this application. Operating Instructions - CPC6050...
The four parameters are used to calculate the pressure that is a result of the different elevations. It should not be used when calibrating CPC6050 transducers. The Head height should be set at zero before cali- brating the transducers of the CPC6050.
11 Technical Assistance The Technical Assistance menu provides access to additional menus that assist in troubleshooting of the CPC6050. The menu allows access to enable/ disable software options, perform real time pressure log- ging, touchscreen calibration and instrument usage information.
Note: The Logging Application is only visible when a compatible USB device is plugged to the front panel of the CPC6050. The Application is greyed out in the absence of a USB device. Figure 11.2.-A shows the Logging App with and without a USB.
