We strongly recommend you to read the complete manual before using the equipment. If you already have experience with HEINZMANN systems you may only read the relevant chapters for the required information. It was our intention to structure this manual in a clear layout, to enable you to get easy and instant access to the information you are looking for.
3 Description Description 3.1 Introduction The electronic indicator CPM 500 is a handy, battery powered, portable device to measure and evaluate cylinder pressure on diesel engines at speed up to 1500 RPM. The CPM 500 collects 10 consecutive pressure measure- ments (cycles) and calculates peak pressure and engine speed.

6 Accuracy check Accuracy check The CPM 500 is adjusted at HEINZMANN workshop at different pressure values (0…300 bar)- and temperature values (50°C- 200°C). The values are described at calibration certificate (see fig.13). A calibration certificate will be delivered with each CPM 500 unit.
6 Accuracy check 6.1 Connection of CPM 500 to pressure calibrator Connect CPM 500 unit with thompson adaptor to pressure calibrator (fig.14). Please check possible leakage at adaptor by generating pressure. Fig.14: Connection of CPM 500 to pressure calibrator Note: The pictured pressure calibrator is an example to generate pressure. At your workshop you can use your standard pressure calibrator.
6 Accuracy check 6.2 Generate pressure at pressure calibrator We emphasize to check CPM 500 at most frequently measured Pmax-value on engine. For example pressure values at 0 bar and between 100 bar – and 200 bar. 0 bar Fig.15:Example for indication of static pressure by Fig.16: Example for indication of static pressure value generating pressure at pressure calibrator at CPM 500 display...
CPM 500 is +/- 2.5 bar. By increasing pressure difference we emphasize to send CPM 500 unit to HEINZMANN workshop for new adjustment and calibration. The accuracy of the CPM 500 unit acc. technical data is +/- 0.5% full scale (0…300 bar) between adjusted temperature range of 50°C- 200 °C.
