20,000 psi, for all of your pressure instruments. This service includes an accredited calibration. 1.4.3 Accreditations Mensor is registered to ISO 9001:2008. The calibration program at Mensor is accredited by A2LA, as complying with both the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and the ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 standards. 2. Safety Notices CPT6010 Operating Instructions...

Communication with the CPT6010 is over a serial bus, either RS-232 or RS-485. One end of the CPT6010 has a 1/4” NPT male fitting pressure port, and the opposite end has a six pin power/signal connector (J1) and a #10-32 reference pressure port (for gauge pressure only).
All seawater units are 3.5% salinity. Resolution From 1 to 10 ppm, depending on measurement units and range Overpressure Ratings 150% FS or greater, depending on range Compensated Temperature 15°C to 45°C Range Warm-up 10 minutes to rated accuracy CPT6010 Operating Instructions...

However, excessive motor or machinery vibration of the mounting surface should be avoided to further ensure stability and accuracy. For the greatest accuracy on transducers with a full scale range of less than 15 psi, set CPT6010 zero while it is oriented in its operational position. 5.5 Pressure Connections...
For RS-232 serial port operation, connect the CPT6010 to the host computer per Figure 5.6.2 No- tice that the host TRANSMIT line is connected to the CPT6010 RECEIVE line (TX to RX), and vice versa. One limitation of the RS-232 bus is that a host can support only one instrument. See section 5.6.3, RS-485 Operation, for multiple CPT6010 operation.
TA to RA, TB to RB, and so on. If only one RS-485 CPT6010 will be connected to the system, disregard the wiring to “CPT #1” and “CPT #2” in the illustrations. Instead, wire the computer directly to the “CPT #31” by the four-wire method.
Digital Pressure Transducer CPT6010 6. Operation The pressure to be measured is applied to the 1/4 NPT fitting on the CPT6010. Avoid excessive overpressure to the sensor! Externally mounted relief valves to provide overpressure protection are available from Mensor as optional devices, and are highly recommended for very low pressure transducers.
6.2 Serial Port Configuration Unless otherwise requested by the customer, the CPT6010 serial ports are set at the factory to the default values listed in the following table. Table 6.2 - Serial Port Settings...
However, this wildcard must not be used in queries if more than one transducer is con- nected to a host. One use for the wildcard address could be when a CPT6010 is pulled out of a multi-drop setup and sent to a calibration facility for recertification. The calibration technician can communicate with the device using the wildcard address without learning or changing its assigned address.

The temperature should be stable, and within the specified calibration range. In addition, for maximum accuracy, see that the CPT6010 is at rest on a stable platform which is free of vibration and shock, and oriented similar to its final installation attitude. At the factory the CPT6010 is calibrated vertically with the pressure port at the bottom.

Depending on the specific language used to generate them, these commands may have to be preceded by or enclosed in various symbols for transmission. For this procedure it is assumed that a single CPT6010 is connected to the host computer, and that its assigned address is unknown.

2. Use the setup for absolute pressure shown in Figure 7.2. Apply a stable pressure value between 600 mTorr absolute and 20% of the transducer’s span.Measure the reference presure reading in the native units of the CPT6010. This reading becomes the “true pressure”. 3. Clear the current zero offset from RAM.
