Page 4: Operating Instructions
Overview „ „ „ „ „ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The XP2i is shipped with batteries installed, so it’s ready to use. Press and hold the on/off button. The XP2i will first test all LCD segments. Release on/off button when the XP2i indicates pressure. The XP2i always resumes operation in the mode and the units of the pressure last used, and it does not automatically rezero when turned on. -
Page 5: Functions
Functions Functions Units Button units Pressing this button causes the XP2i to select the next available unit of pressure measurement. Pressure Ranges, Display Scales, & Resolution on page 29 or the list of pressure units available for your model. Units that you don’t need or never use can be turned off. - Page 6 Functions zero Resetting (Clearing) Recorded Peak Values clear Peak values can only be cleared when displaying either a Peak High or Peak Low recorded pressure. Press the clear button for at least ½ second. Dashed lines will briefly appear across the display indicating that both Peak values have been cleared. Both Peak High and Peak Low values will then display the cur- rent applied pressure.
- Page 7 Functions Tare ( -DD, Dual-Line Display XP2i Only ) Tare is a constant value subtracted from the true pressure. For instance, if you were mixing gases by partial pressure, you might want to fill a tank to 1760 psi with air, then add another 440 psi of helium.
- Page 8 Functions Automatic Shut-off The XP2i has a shutoff timer and will turn off automatically after 20 minutes of non-operation. Pressing any button or sending any command via the RS-232 connection resets the shutoff timer for another 20 minutes of operation. The XP2i will briefly display Auto Off 20 when turned on.
- Page 9 Functions Water Density (Inches of Water) The following applies only to models where inches of water is a selectable pressure unit. As shipped from the factory, the XP2i is set to display inches of water corresponding to the density of water at 4° C (39.2° F). You may require a different water density for your application, so the XP2i can be set to use the density of water at 20°...
- Page 10 Functions Calibration Due Reminder The XP2i has a calibration reminder feature that can help to assure that you never use the gauge after its calibration certificate has expired. It can be pro- grammed to alert you prior to, on, and after the gauge’s calibration due date. Due dates, reminder times, and message types can be set through our free ConfigXP software.
- Page 11 Functions Many other battery types and models have been tested but failed to meet the requirements for Intrinsic Safety—do not assume other models are equivalent. The XP2i can be operated from an external power supply (AC adapter kit PN: 2984). WARNING: Do not use AC adapter in hazardous locations.

In the DataLoggerXP main window, click Connect. The program will retrieve the current logging parameters, and then allow downloading, viewing, and saving data, as well as updating the logging parameters.
- Page 17 Data Logging with DataLoggerXP Data Logging Parameters Logging parameters can be set up one of two ways: on a computer connected to an XP2i, or from the XP2i keypad. This second option allows the user to make changes in the logging parameters while in the field. Once the logging parameters have been selected, the gauge can begin recording data. The two param- eters that affect data logging (logging interval and logging type) are covered below.
- Page 18 Data Logging with DataLoggerXP Data Management To Download Data from the Gauge Connect the gauge to your computer. In the DataLoggerXP main window, click the Download button. Depending on the number of readings, it can take up to 15 seconds to download all the data. Once the data has been downloaded, the View and Save buttons will be available.

Data Logging with DataLoggerXP „ „ „ „ „ XP2I DATALOGGERXP GAUGE OPERATION When in data logging mode, XP2i provides data logging capability along with many of the features of a standard XP2i. In order to allow operation as a data logger, some of the standard functionality of the standard XP2i is suspended. - Page 21 Data Logging with DataLoggerXP Keypad Usage The following buttons and button combinations are used to control data logging runs on the XP2i. Where two keys are indicated, the operation is executed by pressing and holding down the first key, then pressing and holding down the second key until the action is completed. Note: Start by turning off the gauge.
- Page 22 Data Logging with DataLoggerXP Units units Pressing and holding the units button briefly causes the XP2i to display information about the logging state. If you continue to hold the units button, a logging run will begin or end. Immediately after pressing the units button, the gauge will display the operating mode as one of these values: The logging memory is Clear, data is empty, and the XP2i is idle.
- Page 23 Data Logging with DataLoggerXP Ultra Low Power (ULP) Mode The XP2i can log for extended periods with Ultra Low Power Mode, activated by the key combinations explained in Keypad Usage on page 19. Ultra Low Power Mode takes readings in Actual Mode, according to the set logging interval. The letters replace the live pressure reading during a recording.
