CPC 8000 Precision Pressure Calibrator

Description

Application

The CPC 8000 Precision Pressure Calibrator is our premier pressure calibrator / controller, designed to automate testing of pressure transmitters, pressure transducers, field pressure calibrators, pressure gauges and pressure sensors of all kinds.

Design

The CPC 8000 has a modern look, modular components, and a large HD color touch screen. A rack mount or desk top version is available. Precision, stable control and quiet operation are achieved with the modular needle valve pressure control system, mounted on a tubeless pneumatic manifold. The

CPC 8000 delivers a percent of reading accuracy over a wide range with up to three removable transducers and a removable barometric reference. The transducers and the barometer can be calibrated remotely using the optional calibration fixture. Built in safety features, software emulation for drop in compatibility, selectable configurations, extensive setup features and intuitive operation were all designed with the operator in mind.

Mensor Data Sheet CPC 8000 • 11/2012

Functionality

The CPC 8000 utilizes an intuitive tab driven operator interface through the HD color touch screen. Access to and interaction with commonly used features, functions and settings quickly becomes routine. Language choices, units, display options, sensor settings, limits and a variety of other setup choices can be easily selected or saved within user defined configurations.

Software

Operators can automate operation of the CPC 8000 by using an internal sequence application or by programming a command sequence in an external application. Remote communication is achieved using standard Mensor commands, SCPI commands or a command set emulation mode for drop in compatibility with existing software used to communicate with common industry calibrators. Communication is achieved through IEEE-488,

USB, Ethernet or RS-232 remote interface connections.

Test and calibration systems

Mobile carts or stationary rack mounted pressure calibration test sets can be assembled based on customer specifications.

CPC 8000 Features

(Front view cut-away)

Three pressure transducers and a Barometer

Up to three removable / interchangeable sensors are available, with uncertainty of 0.01% FS, 0.01% IS-50,

0.008% IS-50 or 0.008% IS-33. The three sensors, in combination with the control valve regulator, provide a wide dynamic range (10:1 FS) where the operator can choose to control output pressure using a single sensor, or “autorange” control across all three sensors. The three sensor ranges can be chosen to optimize uncertainty levels. Full scale sensor ranges between 1 and 6000 psi are available plus an optional barometric sensor. The percent of reading specifications, plus a proprietary control valve regulator, provides accurate and stable control.

Transducer measuring modes can be gauge, absolute, or bi-directional. A CPC 8000 can be equipped with one, two or three transducers of the same mode.

An optional precision barometer can be used to achieve accurate emulation of gauge pressure with an absolute pressure instrument, or used for absolute pressure emulation with a gauge pressure instrument. For full range absolute emulation, the instrument gauge sensors should be ranged down to -15 psig.

User Interface

The high definition color touch screen and intuitive interface provides for easy control of the pressure output.

Entry of set points and system setting becomes second nature through the user-friendly buttons and menus. In addition, the user programmable sequence function provides storage and automated control of standard test protocols.

Instrument Housing

The CPC 8000 is housed in a 4U 19” case. The desktop model has side panels with built-in openings for handholds. Inside the case there is an enclosed electrical module and a pneumatic module. The modules can be removed after disconnecting cables and removing three screws. Each sensor is removed by disconnecting a cable and removing two screws.

The modular design insures quick and efficient maintenance and a high degree of flexibility in the configuration.

Removable interchangeable Transducers

Remote Calibration Fixture

Remote Operation

The CPC 8000 is capable of remote operation using IEEE-

488.2 (GPIB), Ethernet, RS-232 or USB. Command set emulation of some prior generation Mensor instruments

(PCS 200, PCS 400, etc.) as well as many non-Mensor devices, makes the CPC 8000 a valuable “drop-in” asset that can be used in production or calibration of pressure transmitters, transducers and instruments.

Service & Calibration

The CPC 8000 can be supplied with an external “Calibration

Fixture” (optional) for remote calibration outside of the installed unit. Combined with its modular design, Mensor’s world class service and support, the CPC 8000 is the best solution for most pressure calibration applications.

Setup [ ] menus

The CPC 8000 setup screens provide way to configure every aspect of the CPC 8000’s operating environment. The tab driven menu provides easy access to the settings for instrument functions. These settings are General settings, Sensor settings, Control settings, Remote setup, Applications and Information. Access to these areas is controlled by two passwords. The bullet text in blue represent screens that require the “calibration” password to view; those in red require “service” password to view.

Access the setup screens using the setup button [ ] from the main menu screen. When touched, each tab at the bottom of the setup screen will open the associated screen.
