1. Introduction The OMEGA PCL340 Series is designed to be a simple to use yet very versatile pressure calibrator . Its internal pressure sensor combined with inputs for mA, voltage and switch contacts allow the PCL340 Series to calibrate a variety of pressure devices. An external pressure module option allows an even wider range of pressure calibra[...]

If all three displays are deactivated the L OWER display will come on automatically 3. Measuring Pressure T o measure pressure, connect the calibrator using an appropriate fitting.[...]

13 including gauge, vacuum, differential and absolute. The modules work seamlessly with the calibrator . Simply plug them into the interface and select [EXT] (external sensor). Since the interface between the calibrator and the module is digital all the accuracy and display resolution is derived from the module. Figure 6 4. Measuring Current T o me[...]

6. Performing a Pressure Switch T est Figure 10 T o perform a switch test, follow these steps: 1. Change the setup to Setup 4 (default switch test). Setup 4: The upper display is set to [P1] ST , all other displays are off. Important NOTE: The pressure Switch T est can be performed with the following functions[P1] ST , or EXT ST . 2. Connect the ca[...]

5. Apply pressure with the pump slowly until the switch opens. Important NOTE: In the switch test mode the display update rate is increased to help capture changing pressure inputs. Even with this enhanced sample rate pressurizing the device under test should be done slowly to ensure accurate readings. 6. Once the switch is open, “OPEN” will be[...]

17 9. Press the “NEW TEST” option to clear the data and perform another test. 10. Press the “DONE” option to end the test and return to the standard pressure setting. Example: [P1] ST will return to [P1]. Important NOTE: The previous example uses a normally closed switch. The basic procedure is still the same for a normally open switch, the[...]

18 7.2 Calibrating a Pressure-to-Current T ransmitter T o calibrate a pressure-to-current transmitter (P/I), perform the following steps: 1. Connect the calibrator and the pump to the transmitter . 2. Apply pressure with the pump. 3. Measure the current output of the transmitter . 4. Ensure the reading is correct. If not, adjust the transmitter as [...]

19 Figure 12. Example : Suppose a pressure transmitter under test is 30 psi (2 Bar) Full Scale and outputs a corresponding 4 to 20 mA signal. The user can program in a 0 to 30 psi pressure span into the calibrator and the calibrator will calculate and display the deviation or % Error from the expected 4 to 20 mA output. This eliminates the need for[...]

20 4. L OOP POWER can be toggled on/off, select NEXT when done. 5. Use SELECT to toggle through the UNIT options, and select NEXT to move on. 6. Use the ↑ and ↓ arrows to set the 100% point of the desired pressure range, select DONE SET when finished. 7. Again, use the arrows to set 0% point and select DONE SET when finished and the %ERROR mode[...]

21 Note: The 0% and 100% point will be saved in non-volatile memory until they are changed again by the user for the internal sensors, and external pressure modules. When using an external module the 0% and 100% are set to low and full scale of the module until the user changes it, or if it was previously saved. 8. Factory Setups The Calibrator is [...]

22 Setup 3: The upper display is set to [P1] mode and the middle is set to [VOL TS] mode, lower is off . Setup 4: The upper display is set to [P1], the lower display is set to [EXT]. Setup 5: The upper display is set to [P1], and the lower display is set to mA Loop.[...]

23 9. Remote Operation 9.1 Remote Interface The calibrator can be remotely controlled using a PC terminal, or by a computer program running the calibrator in an automated system. It uses an RS-232 serial port connection for remote operation. NOTE: T o use the remote control option a custom RS-232 cable must be purchased from OMEGA (LEM232). T o con[...]

24 T o set up remote operation of the calibrator on the Windows Hyper T erminal, connected to a COM port on the PC as in Figure 23, use the following procedure: 1. Start Hyper T erminal (located in Accessories/Communications of the Windows Start menu) 2. Select New Connection. 3. For Name enter PCL340. Select the serial port that the calibrator is [...]

25 The calibrator may be controlled using commands and queries. All commands may be entered using upper or lower case. The commands are divided into the following categories: Calibrator Commands Only the calibrator uses these commands. For example VAL? asks for the values displayed on the calibrator display . Common Commands Standard commands used [...]

Integer For most computers and controllers they are decimal numbers ranging from -32768 to 32768. For example: F AUL T? could return 110 Refer to the Error Codes table (T able 8) for more information on error codes. Floating Floating numbers have up to 15 significant figures and exponents. For example: ZERO_MEAS returns 1.210000E - 2, PSI Character[...]
