Functions Functions ON/OFF Power button Press and hold the power button to turn the HPC50 Series on or off. The HPC50 will automatically power down if not used for the time period defined in the unit settings or in CrystalControl. Automatic Shutoff - Low Power Mode To optimize battery life, adjust your Automatic Shutoff time (shut off time in absence of key press) on the unit or through the free CrystalControl software. - Page 6 Functions Zero Button zero Press the button to activate the function key options. The HPC50 will display the parameters that are currently shown on the upper and function lower displays. Press the button for the parameter that you would like to zero. The display will then briefly flash all dashed lines (- - -- -), indicating that it has been zeroed.

Page 11: Operation
CAUTION: To achieve CPF maximum allowable working pressures no o-ring substitutions are allowed. See our CPF brochure and CES-003 CPF Safety Guide available from the website at ametek.com for further detail. Measuring Vacuum All versions of the HPC50 can be used to measure moderate vacuum. - Page 12 Operation 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 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. Press the function 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 15: Measuring Current
Operation MEASURING CURRENT The HPC50 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 mA Sink (External 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 either (to output a specific mA signal), (to output based on the % of the mA range) , or % flow (to output based on the % of the flow). -
Page 17: Measuring Voltage
Operation mA Ramp The HPC50 has the ability to provide a consistent ramp throughout the full mA range. Select Out. Select the appropriate mA range (0-20, 4-20). Press the function button for Ramp. Enter the 0 and 100% mA points. Enter the total time to get from 0 to 100% of the scale. -
Page 18: Measuring Temperature (Atmi)
For details on the ATMi external module, see the ATMi External Temperature Modules CAUTION: ATMi modules must only be used with intrinsically safe probes provided by Ametek. To Measure Temperature Connect an ATMi with RTD probe to the HPC50 Chassis in either ATMi port. -
Page 19: Performing A Switch Test
Operation PERFORMING A SWITCH TEST Performing a switch test will require the use of both screens. The HPC50 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... -
Page 20: Calibrating A Pressure Transmitter
Operation CALIBRATING A PRESSURE TRANSMITTER When calibrating a transmitter, both the upper and lower displays are used. Pressure and Temperature Transmitters with ranges of 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, and 10 to 50 mA can be calibrated by an HPC50. The example below will use a 4 to 20 mA pressure transmitter. To Calibrate a Pressure Transmitter Select In in the upper display and... - Page 21 Operation Percent Flow Function The HPC50 can calculate the flow percentage for a differential pressure transmitter. The square root of the differential pressure across an orifice plate is pro- portional to the flow. The differential pressure is simulated or measured via the mA current and the resultant calculations are then scaled from 0 to 100%. Select % Flow from the mA units selection in the upper window.

Specifications Specifications Gauge Pressure Accuracy (P1, P2, and APMi) 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 HPC50 Series must be exercised and re-zeroed whenever exposed to significant changes in environmental conditions to achieve these specifications. - Page 26 Specifications Differential Pressure The Tare function can improve differential pressure measurement uncertainties.

Page 33: Support
Support Support 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. Noisy or unstable reading when used with fluids When calibrating or comparing the indicated pressure from an HPC50 against a hydraulic deadweight tester or piston gauge, the reading on the HPC50 may appear unstable—the least significant digit jumps up and down several counts. -
Page 34: Calibration
Support CALIBRATION If adjustment is required, we recommend returning the HPC50 to the factory. Factory service offers benefits you won’t find anywhere else. Factory calibra- tion tests your HPC50 at a variety of temperatures utilizing NIST traceable standards, resulting in calibration certificates that provide performance data over temperature. -
