PRESSURE SENSORS The HPC50 Series is equipped with one or two pressure sensors. In addition, one or two intrinsically safe APMi (Advanced Pressure Module) or ATMi (Advanced Temperature Module) external modules may also be used. For information on the Crystal external modules, please refer to APMi Modules ATMi Modules. - Page 12 Overpressure Conditions The HPC50 Series will read pressure up to approximately 110% of the rated pressure range. Above 110%, the display will indicate OL, and readings will stop updating. The zero function does not affect when the display will indicate...

Exposure to environmental extremes of temperature, shock, or vibration may warrant a more frequent calibration period. The HPC50 Series must be exercised and re-zeroed whenever exposed to significant changes in environmental conditions to achieve these specifications. To exercise a gauge, cycle the gauge between zero (ambient barometric pressure) and the pressure of interest. A properly exercised gauge will return to a zero reading (or return to the same ambient barometric reading). - Page 26 Diaphragm Seal Fluid: ... . Silicone Oil Connection: .....

TROUBLESHOOTING The HPC50 Series is a very high performance calibrator. 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 read and measure pressure to a degree not possible with other instruments. -
Page 33: Calibration
CAUTION: Do not subject the BARO sensor to pressures less than 700 mbarA (10.153 PSIA), or greater than 1100 mbarA (15.954 PSIA), as this may cause permanent damage. Use only clean a clean dry pneumatic source. CAUTION: Direct contact with the surface of the BARO sensor may cause permanent damage. Direct sunlight on exposed BARO sensor may affect readings slightly. HPC50 Series Operation Manual... -
