General
1. Introduction
1.1 General
The DPI 610 IS and DPI 615 IS intrinsically safe instruments measure and display pneumatic and
hydraulic pressure applied to the test port.Pressure measurement can be absolute, gauge and
sealed gauge and in ranges from 2.5 mbar to 700 bar (1.0 inH2O to 10000 psi).
Calibrator versions of this instrument contain pneumatic or hydraulic pressure generation
components to produce pneumatic pressure ranges between -1 to 20 bar (-14.5 psi to 300 psi)
and hydraulic pressure ranges up to 400 bar (6000 psi).
Using external electrical connections, the DPI 610 IS and DPI 615 IS intrinsically safe
instruments measure ±30 V dc and ±55 mA. An integral sensor provides measurement of ambient
temperature. Additional sensors (option B1) connect to an external connector and extend the
pressure measurement range and include differential pressure measurement. The DPI 615
instrument has an RS232 connector to enable downloading of test data to a compatible
documenting system. Six alkaline C size batteries, IEC Type LR14, power the instrument.
INFORMATION Zinc-carbon and zinc-chloride cells must not be used in this
instrument. Use only the battery types as shown in “Batteries” on page ii.

General
8. Calibration
8.1 General
The instrument is supplied by the manufacturer, complete with calibration certificate(s). A
calibration period of 12 months is recommended. The actual calibration interval depends on
instrument usage and the total measurement uncertainty acceptable for the specified application.
The DPI 610 IS and DPI 615 IS are very precise measuring instruments and the test equipment
and conditions of test must be suitable for the type of work. A Class A compensated deadweight
tester must be used. The calibration check and calibration adjustment should be carried out in a
controlled environment by a calibration technician*.
The manufacturer offers a comprehensive and, if required, UKAS accredited calibration service.
8.2 Calibration Check
At the chosen calibration interval, the instrument readings should be compared with a known
pressure standard.
The recommended method starts at 0, increasing in 20% steps to 100% full-scale and then
decreasing in 20% steps to 0.
Note any deviations between the instrument and the pressure standard and consider traceability
(accuracy to a National Standard).
If, after a calibration check, the results exceed the tolerance in the specification (or other suitable
performance standard), carry out a calibration adjustment.
8.3 Calibration Adjustment
If the instrument is operating correctly, only zero and full-scale calibration will vary. Any excessive
non-linearity or temperature effects indicate a fault. The instrument should be returned to a
qualified service agent.
8.4 Guide to Calibration Procedures
• Use high quality repeatable and linear pressure sources and allow adequate thermal
stabilization time before calibration (minimum 1 hour).
• Conduct the calibration in a temperature controlled and preferably, humidity controlled
environment. Recommended temperature is 21°C ± 2°C (70°F ± 4°F).
• Use deadweight testers carefully and away from drafts.
• Review and become familiar with the whole calibration procedure before commencing the
calibration process.
• The calibration routines cannot be accessed when the instrument is in BASIC mode. Use the
TASK key to select another mode, e.g. ADVANCED before accessing the CALIBRATION
mode.
* A calibration technician must have the necessary technical knowledge, documentation, special test
equipment and tools to carry out the calibration work on this equipment.

9.2 Safety Instructions

WARNING Hydraulic fluid is injurious. Observe relevant health and safety
precautions. Use appropriate protective barriers and eye protection.
Before applying pressure, examine all fittings and equipment for damage and
ensure that all equipment is to the correct pressure rating.
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the equipment (indicated on
start-up screen at switch-on).
CAUTION Observe absolute cleanliness when using the instrument. Severe
damage can be caused if equipment connect to this instrument is contaminated.
Connect only clean equipment to the instrument. To avoid any contamination, an
external filter is recommended.
9.3 Preparation for Use

• Use an appropriate seal and connect the bleed hose assembly (3) to the priming port.
• Make sure that the screw-press (5) is wound fully in (clockwise).
• Make sure that the isolation valve (1) is open (fully counter clockwise).
• Use a bonded seal (6) and connect the unit or system under test (7) to the pressure port.
WARNING Make sure that the connecting line to the external device or system
is capable of withstanding the line pressure to be applied.

Figure 9-2: Priming/Test Set-up
9.4 Bleeding the System
Before any measurements can be made, the hydraulic system needs to be primed and bled free
of air. During the following operations, prepare for fluid spillage and provide a suitable receptacle
for collecting the spillage.
1. Prepare for use as detailed in Section 9.3.
2. Fill a suitable container with clean hydraulic fluid and place the bleed hose assembly (1)
connected to the priming port into the fluid.
3. Open the UUT bleed valve (5) and, if possible, fit a hose to the bleed point and locate the
hose end in a container of the same hydraulic fluid.
4. Use the priming pump (2), to pump hydraulic fluid into the instrument and the connected
system. Monitor the hydraulic fluid level, ensuring that the bleed hose assembly (1) stays
below the fluid level and is not allowed to suck in air. Top-up hydraulic fluid level as
necessary.
5. Continue use of the priming pump (2) until only hydraulic fluid and no air is expelled from the
bleed point.
6. Close the UUT bleed valve (5) when the priming pump (2) is at the bottom of its stroke (fully
pushed in) and slowly wind out the screw-press (3) to its fullest extent to draw in further
hydraulic fluid (approx. 7 cm3 or 0.43 in3).

7. Switch the instrument ON and, still using the priming pump (2), pressurize the system to
approximately 2 bar (30 psi).
8. Close the isolation valve (6) disconnect the bleed hose assembly (1) from the priming port.
9.5 Operation
To obtain a pressure reading, proceed as follows:
1. Switch the instrument ON and select the required TASK.
2. Rotate the screw-press clockwise to increase the applied pressure.
Note: When hydraulic fluid is compressed and flows through a restriction, there is an
increase in temperature that affects the pressure. Allow sufficient time for this pressure
reading to stabilize before recording or logging a reading.
3. After testing, reduce the pressure in the system to zero by turning the screw-press counter
clockwise. Before disconnecting the UUT, open the isolation valve.
4. Remove the connection to the UUT and fit a blanking plug into the instrument’s pressure
port. Clean any spilled fluid off the instrument case.
9.6 Draining the Hydraulic Fluid
To drain the hydraulic fluid from the instrument, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the isolation valve (4) fully counter clockwise. Turn the instrument onto the left hand
side (pressure port nearest to the work bench). Place receptacle below the pressure port to
collect hydraulic fluid.
2. Drain the system by slowly winding in the screw-press (3) and then depressing the priming
pump (2) plunger to expel any fluid remaining in the instrument.
3. If necessary, apply an air line to the priming port to clear any remaining fluid out of the
instrument.
9.7 Flushing - Refilling or Changing the Hydraulic Fluid
If necessary, to remove any contaminants, flush out the hydraulic system as follows:

Flushing - Refilling or Changing the Hydraulic Fluid
1. Connect the bleed hose assembly (1) to the priming port and a bleed hose to the pressure
port as shown below:
S
4
3
1
3
2

3 Screw-press 4 Isolation valve
O Open C Closed
Figure 9-3: Flushing/Filling Connections
2. Fill the priming fluid container with clean hydraulic fluid of the required type. Use the priming
pump (2), to pump fresh hydraulic fluid through the system until clean hydraulic fluid, free of
air bubbles, emerges into the container at the output port. Discard the contaminated fluid
expelled during this process.
3. Remove the bleed hose assembly (1) located to the output port and, to prevent the ingress
of any contaminant, fit a blanking plug in its place.
4. Close the isolation valve (4) and remove the bleed hose assembly (1) from the priming inlet.
5. Clean off any surplus oil that may have spilled onto the instrument casing.
The instrument is now ready for operation or storage. If storing, apply a label detailing the type of
hydraulic fluid contained in the instrument.
Note: For long term storage, it is recommended that the instrument be drained and stored empty.
