Page 11: Operation
Operation Operation PRESSURE SENSORS The HPC40 Series is equipped with one or two pressure sensors. In addition, a Crystal APM (Advanced Pressure Module) may also be used. For information on the Crystal APM, please refer to the APM CPF Series Operation Manual. - Page 12 Operation Overpressure Conditions The HPC40 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 OL, so depending on the zero value it is possible that the display will indicate + OL without the maximum pressure being displayed.
- Page 13 Operation To Zero the Calibrator Press the zero button to activate the function buttons for the available pressure sensors. function Press the button for the sensor that you would like to zero. The display will change to dashed lines (- - - - -) and the reading will be zeroed. Zeroing the P2 sensor.
- Page 14 Operation To Display Differential Pressure Select Diff. Pres. from the Mode section. Choose the two sensors that you want to use for differential pressure. Choose the unit for the differential reading. For more information on working in the HPC40 display, see Navigating Through a Typical Setup.

Page 15: Measuring Current
Operation MEASURING CURRENT The HPC40 is capable of measuring current in four different modes: • Measured current is displayed (mA). The module is capable of measuring inputs up to 55 mA. • 0-20 mA Current is displayed as a percentage of the 0-20 mA current range of the module. -
Page 16: Sourcing Current
Operation SOURCING CURRENT The HPC40 is capable of sourcing up to 25 mA. To Source mA (Internal Loop Power Supply) Select Out. Select the appropriate range (0-20 or 4-20) if you will be sourcing based on the % of the scale. Choose Int. - Page 17 Operation mA Step The HPC40 has the ability to automatically or manually step through the mA range at predefined intervals. Select Out. Select the appropriate mA range (0-20, 4-20). Select Ext. Pwr. from the power source list if the mA loop is already powered, or Int.

Page 18: Measuring Voltage
Operation Enter the total time to get from 0 to 100% of the scale. Press the function button for Start and the HPC40 will begin the ramp process. Press the function button for Stop to pause the ramp, or Back to go back to the ramp setup screen. -
Page 19: Measuring Temperature (Rtd)
RTDs are characterized by their 0° C resistance, R0. The HPC40 accepts -2, -3, and -4 wire inputs, with 4 wire input being the most accurate. The HPC40 is compatible with a large number of platinum RTD probe types. Ametek offers a platinum 100 probe that is ready to connect directly to the HPC40’s RTD port. -
Page 20: Performing A Switch Test
Operation PERFORMING A SWITCH TEST Performing a switch test will require the use of both screens. The HPC40 records switch state, and pressure or temperature measurement at the time of switch change. After the test, the result is displayed in a convenient and easy-to-use format. To Perform a Switch Test Select Switch Test... -

Operation Decrease pressure or temperature until the switch closes. Once the switch closes, the icon will change to ( ) and the Closed value and Dead band value will be indicated. Switch Open Switch Closed To perform a new test, highlight the reset option and press the enter button. - Page 22 Operation HART Resistor The HPC40 has an internal 250 Ohm HART resistor that can be selected if desired. With the settings button, choose General to select HART resistor On or Off. Percent Error Function The HPC40 can be programmed to calculate a deviation or % error from 4-20 mA output. This eliminates the need for manual calculations and can also be helpful if it becomes difficult to set an exact pressure with an external pump.

Page 24: Specifications
Specifications Specifications Gauge Pressure Accuracy Includes all effects of linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, temperature, and stability with the operating temperature range for one year. Note: Exposure to environmental extremes of temperature, shock, or vibration may warrant a more frequent calibration period. The HPC40 Series must be exercised and re-zeroed whenever exposed to significant changes in environmental conditions to achieve these specifications. - Page 25 Specifications Differential Pressure The Tare function can improve differential pressure measurement uncertainties. Requires the use of an equalizing valve. Use the higher range sensor specifica- tion when two different ranges are selected.

Page 30: Support
Support Support TROUBLESHOOTING The HPC40 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. Noisy or unstable reading when used with fluids When calibrating or comparing the indicated pressure from an HPC40 against a hydraulic deadweight tester or piston gauge, the reading on the HPC40 may appear unstable—the least significant digit jumps up and down several counts. -
Page 31: Calibration
Support CALIBRATION If adjustment is required, we recommend returning the HPC40 to the factory. Factory service offers benefits you won’t find anywhere else. Factory calibra- tion tests your HPC40 at a variety of temperatures utilizing NIST traceable standards, resulting in calibration certificates that provide performance data over temperature. -
