General
The MicroCal P palm-top modular system introduces a new era in pressure calibration standard. Compact, rugged, accurate, battery powered, CE marked, the MicroCal P represents the ideal equipment for field and laboratory test and calibration activities. Each instrument consists of a basic electronic module combined with an easy replaceable Pressure Module. The Pressure Modules can be selected according to your application requirements.
MicroCal P basic unit This is a microprocessor controlled measuring instrument to grant high flexibility of performances. The incorporated processor, transmits the signal from the Pressure Module to the microprocessor, which digitally compensate the sensor data. This mathematical modelling of the pressure sensor virtually eliminates all errors over a wide range of temperature. Both pressure and electrical parameter readings are indicated on a high contrast two-line alphanumeric LCD display equipped with a backlight device. The required pressure technical unit can be selected through a simplified procedure. In addition to pressure measurements the instrument, MicroCal P2 only, is equipped with a second channel designed for voltage (up to 30 V) and current (up to 22 mA) measurements. Replaceable Pressure Module The gauge/differential pressure sensor is installed in a replaceable Pressure Module. The individual sensor temperature/linearization matrix data are stored in a non volatile EEPROM resident in the module; the basic unit will reads the data to compensate the sensor data. An extended number of Pressure Modules are available, in a wide variety of pressure measurement ranges. Each Pressure Module can. be used in any basic unit and the measurement system will provide measurement accuracy in conformity with the declared specifications. Pressure Calibration System Hand pumps When connected to an auxiliary device such as a hand-pump with volume adjuster and ventilation valve, MicroCal P can be used as a pressure calibrator. Different models of hand pumps are available by Eurotron for most application requirements. Two basic type of pressure hand pumps are available: ! Axial types pumps, advised for general application and where a vacuum or a maximum pressure of 10 bar is required. ! Pliers type pumps, advised for more practical operations and
!

where a maximum pressure of 2, 14 or 20 bar is required. These pumps have an auxiliary direct connection for a reference standard pressure gauge to run fast test with a comparison method. The above pumps can. be ordered also separately pointing out the relevant catalogue number (see ordering instructions table D - eg. pump 0 to 20 bar cat. F3280002). The instrument can be supplied, on request, in a leather case with shoulder strap for an easy transport, or in a rigid ABS case to be carried with all specified accessories.

Instrument Highlight
Traceable certification Report of Calibration stating the nominal and actual values and the deviation errors with a traceability declaration and references Self-Test A built-in auto-test routine is automatically activated when switching the instrument -OnPressure Ranges 9 different pressure ranges are available as a standard. Additional ranges are scheduled and special ranges are available on request. Pressure Units Most. common pressure units can be selected for readout. Additional units can be included on request. Auto Zero Displayed offset can be reset by activating a soft key. mA and V Inputs Available on MicroCal P2 model only. The instrument can measure current (up to 22mA) on active and passive loop and voltage (up to 30V) and display the value simultaneously with pressure value. The instrument can supply directly the transmitter with the internal 24Vdc power supply. Peak To measure the low and high peak values. May also be used to measure pressure pulses. Switch test A pressure switch test facility is included and the display will automatically hold open or closed value Compensated To eliminate temperature effects the instrument is temperature compensated in the range from +5C to +45C. Filter/Damp Introduction of a digital filter for unstable readings Leak Test Provides pressure drop data on a programmable time period. Digital Interface A bidirectional TTL port is available for communication with a computer. A TTL to RS232 adapter is available on request. Media The instrument is supplied as a standard for air or non corrosive dry gases. Pressure module compatible with AISI 316 SS are scheduled and available on request. EMC Compatibility Instrument fully tested in conformity with the directive n. 89/336/CEE Electromagnetic Compatibility.

CalpMan
Calibration Procedure Manager Standard Agencies and Quality Auditors require the availability, the collection and the analysis of traceability documents for all the equipment installed in the process or used in the laboratory. A supporting software for DOS and Windows (CalpMan -Calibration Procedure Manager) is available (supplied together with a memory module installed into the instrument and a digital interface cable when the Table D = 1 option is specified) , to transfer a selection of calibration routines from a PC to the internal memory of the instrument in order to simplify the field calibration activity by selecting the appropriate Tag number. Calpman can handle the following pieces of information: ! Tag identification code ! Tag auxiliary information ! Operator/Inspector name ! Up to 5 different test points ! Next calibration date ! Programmable scaling ! Linear or square operation ! Alarm levels ! Damp and damp band setting ! Automatic error picture ! Error band The serial number of the MicroCal P, the date and time call be automatically entered, using the internal real time clock, during the calibration activity. The above procedure can be downloaded from the PC to MicroCal P (up to 50 Tag procedures), calibration data will be memory stored and transferred back to the PC to document the calibration activity that allows to build a quality control chart/data bank from a single calibration sheet to a detailed historical report.
