Many features in this and our other products are a direct result of your comments! Crystal Engineering is the company that designs, manufactures, markets and services the XP2, 30 series pressure calibrators, MultiCal multimeter pressure adapters and a variety of industry specific pressure measuring equipment. Crystal Engineering pioneered features like full temperature compensation and “of reading”... -

first. Always check that the pressure has been equalized with ambient pressure before disconnecting the XP2! To zero or tare the XP2, you must turn off peak indication, then press the button zero for at least ½ second before it responds. The delay avoids unintentional changes to the zero/tare setting. -
Page 6: Peak Detection
Peak detection continuously records maximum and minimum applied pressure. To see the recorded values, press the button, and the icon will peak peak peak appear, along with the recorded peak pressure. Press the button again and the icon will appear instead, along with the minimum recorded pressure. -
Page 7: Measuring Vacuum
Measuring Vacuum All versions of the can be used to measure moderate vacuum, though only ranges of 300 PSI (and 20 bar or 2000 kPa) and lower are actually tested and certified for vacuum operation. When measuring pressure less than ambient barometric conditions, a minus (-) sign will appear. -
Page 8: Low Battery Indication
Low battery indication The battery icon ( ) is the first indication of a low battery. The will continue to operate accurately while the icon is visible. When the batteries are exhausted, the letters “batt” will appear across the display. After “batt” appears, no pressure measurements will be possible until the batteries are replaced. -
Page 9: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting 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. Noisy or unstable reading when used with fluids When calibrating or comparing the indicated pressure from an against a hydraulic... -

Specifications Accuracy specifications are for one year, and include all effects of linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, and temperature within the specified operating temperature range. The gauge must be exercised and re-zeroed whenever exposed to significant changes in environmental conditions to achieve these specifications. To exercise the gauge, cycle the gauge between zero and the pressure of interest. -
