  • Page 4: Operating Instructions

    Overview            OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The XP3i is shipped with batteries installed, so it’s ready to use . Press the button . The XP3i will first test all LCD segments, and then indicate on/off pressure . The XP3i 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 Pressing this button causes the XP3i to select the next available unit of pressure measurement . Pressure Ranges, Display Scales, & Resolution on page 22 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  Resetting (Clearing) Recorded Peak Values Peak values can only be cleared when displaying either a Peak High or Peak Low recorded pressure . Press the zero 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 current applied pressure .
  • Page 7 Functions  Tare ( -DD, Dual-Line Display XP3i 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 XP3i has a shutoff timer and will turn off automatically after 20 minutes (or the time set in CrystalControlWeb) of non-operation . Pressing any button or sending any command via the USB port resets the shutoff timer for another 20 minutes of operation . The XP3i 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 XP3i 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 XP3i can be set to use the density of water at 20°...
  • Page 10 Functions  CrystalControlWeb software . Calibration Reminder Alert Cal Soon Enter the Cal Due date and the notification time prior . Once the defined time prior is reached, the XP3i will flash three times during the startup pro- cess . It will do this on every start-up until the calibration due date is reached, or the dates are updated . Calibration Due Alert Once the calibration due date has been reached, the XP3i has three options to choose from .
  • Page 11 Functions  Battery Replacement The XP3i uses 3 AA batteries . Loosen the four rear panel screws to gain access to the battery compartment . These four panel screws are captive inside the panel and are not remov- able . The foam gasket material inside the battery cover used to secure the batteries can make removal of the cover difficult . After all four screws have been loosened, the cover can be easily removed by prying gently on the hanging bracket with a flat head screwdriver or similar tool .

This includes the ability to change units . Please ensure you have the correct units selected prior to entering data logging mode .
  • Page 14 Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  Keypad Usage The following buttons and button combinations are used to control data logging runs on the XP3i . 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 15 Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  Units Pressing and holding the button briefly causes the XP3i to display information about the logging state . If you continue to hold the button, a units units logging run will begin or end . Immediately after pressing the button, the gauge will display the operating mode as one of these values: units The XP3i is currently logging data .
  • Page 16 Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  Ultra Low Power (ULP) Mode The XP3i can log for extended periods with Ultra Low Power Mode, activated by the key combinations explained in Keypad Usage on page 12. Ultra Low Power Mode takes readings in Actual Mode when the recording interval is 20 minutes or longer . The letters replace the live pressure reading during a recording .
