DESCRIPTION
All operating power for the DPG1000L gauge is supplied by the 4-20 mA cur-
rent loop. The 2-wire connection allows the DPG1000L to be used as a digital
indicating transmitter in any 4-20 mA current loop application. The output is a
continuous analog signal based on the transducer output rather than the dis-
play. The output is filtered to improve noise immunity and has a response time
of about 50 msec. The temperature compensated piezoresistive transducer fea-
tures 316 stainless steel wetted parts.
The TEST pushbutton, when depressed, switches the display and output loop
to a preset level determined by the setting of a Test potentiometer.
INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Install or remove gauge using wrench on hex fitting only. Do not attempt to tight-
en by turning housing or any other part of the gauge. Use fittings appropriate for
the pressure range of the gauge. Do not apply vacuum to gauges not designed
for vacuum operation. Due to the hardness of 316 stainless steel, it is recom-
mended that a thread sealant be used to ensure leak-free operation.
NEVER insert objects into the gauge port or blow out with compressed air.
Permanent damage not covered by warranty will result to the sensor.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connection to the DPG1000L is made with the 2-wire cable at the gauge rear.
Connect the loop (+) supply to the RED lead and the loop (–) supply to the
BLACK lead. Reversing the connections will not harm the gauge but the
DPG1000L will not operate with incorrect polarity.
LOOP VOLTAGE
Select a loop power supply voltage and total loop resistance so that when the
loop current is 20 mA, the gauge will have at least 8 VDC at its terminals. For
correct operation and to avoid erratic or erroneous readings, the gauge termi-
nal voltage must not fall below 8 VDC. Too large a loop resistance will cause
the gauge output to “limit” or saturate before reaching its full 20 mA output.
The minimum loop supply voltage may be calculated from the formula:
Vmin = 8V + (20mA x Total loop resistance)
If the terminal voltage of the
gauge falls below about 7.8
VDC, erratic operation may
occur. This is an indication
that the loop supply/resist-
ance may not allow ade-
quate headroom for reliable
operation. This should
never occur in normal use.
If it does, examine the loop
supply/resistance.
OPERATION
The DPG1000L is designed
for continuous operation.
Warm-up time is negligible.
The display will show the
system pressure or vacu-
um, and the loop current
also will be proportional to
the system pressure/vacuum;
4 mA = Zero or low end
20 mA = Span, full-scale or high end.
TEST BUTTON
When the front-panel TEST button is held depressed, the display and loop cur-
rent are switched, independent of the system pressure, to a test level deter-
mined by the setting of the Test potentiometer. This test mode will allow setup
and testing of the current loop by switching to this test level whenever desired
without having to alter the system pressure.
To set the test output level, see gauge label for location of Test potentiometer.
Press and hold the front-panel TEST button and adjust the Test potentiometer
to set the display and loop current to the desired test level.
CALIBRATION
See gauge label for location of individual controls to adjust the zero and span
of the display.
Gauge Reference – Units may be re-zeroed without affecting the span calibra-
tion. The gauge port must be open to the ambient with no pressure or vacuum
applied. Adjust the Zero control until the gauge reads zero with the minus (–)
sign occasionally flashing.
Span calibration should only be attempted if the user has access to a pressure
reference of known accuracy. The quality of the calibration is only as good as
the accuracy of the calibration equipment and ideally should be at least four
times the gauge accuracy. Zero calibration must be done before span calibra-
tion. Record readings at three to five points over the range of gauge and adjust
span control to minimize error and meet specifications.
Absolute Reference – Gauges require vacuum generation and atmospheric
pressure measurement equipment for accurate calibration and thus are more dif-
ficult to calibrate in the field. Gauges may be returned to Cecomp Electronics for
factory certified recalibration. NIST traceability is available.
The DPG1000L has internal controls to adjust the agreement between the dis-
played value and the 4-20 mA loop current. These are set at the factory and
should not normally be adjusted. If adjustment is necessary, consult factory.
Accurate pressure generation and measurement and current measurement
equipment are required to successfully complete this calibration.

DESCRIPTION
The F4L series is a versatile family of industrial pressure and vacuum gauges
featuring a rugged NEMA 4X case. This type of enclosure, when properly
installed, is suitable for indoor or outdoor non-hazardous locations and provides
a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, windblown dust,
splashing water, hose-directed water, corrosion and ice formation.
The F4L is a two-wire 4-20 mA loop-powered pressure transmitter with indica-
tion. All operating power is supplied by the 4-20 mA current loop. The 2-wire
connection allows the F4L to be used as a pressure transmitter in any 4-20 mA
current loop application where local indication is desirable.
INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Install or remove gauge using wrench on hex fitting only. Do not tighten by turn-
ing housing or any other part of the gauge. Use fittings appropriate for the pres-
sure range of the gauge. Do not apply vacuum to gauges not designed for vac-
uum operation. Due to the hardness of 316 stainless steel, it is recommended
that a thread sealant be used to ensure leak-free operation. NEVER insert
objects into the gauge port or blow out with compressed air. Permanent damage
not covered by warranty will result to the sensor.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connection to the F4L is made with the 2-wire cable at the gauge rear. Connect
the loop positive (+) supply to the RED lead and the loop negative (–) supply to
the BLACK lead. Reversing the connections will not harm the gauge but the F4L
will not operate with incorrect polarity. NEVER connect the gauge wires to volt-
age greater than 32 VDC or damage not covered by warranty will result.
LOOP VOLTAGE
Select a loop power supply voltage and total loop resistance so that when the
loop current is 20 mA, the gauge will have at least 8 VDC at its terminals. For
correct operation and to avoid erratic or erroneous readings, the gauge termi-
nal voltage must not fall below 8 VDC. Too large a loop resistance will cause
the gauge output to “limit” or saturate before reaching its full 20 mA output. The
minimum loop supply voltage may be calculated from the formula:
Vmin = 8V + (20mA x Total loop resistance)
If the terminal voltage of the gauge falls below about 7.8 VDC erratic operation
may occur. This is an indication that the loop supply/resistance may not allow
adequate headroom for reliable operation. This should never occur in normal
use. If it does, examine the loop supply/resistance.
OPERATION
The F4L is designed for continuous operation. Warm-up time is negligible. The
display indication and the loop current will be proportional to the system pres-
sure/vacuum; 4 mA = Zero or low end, 20 mA = Span, full-scale or high end.
The output is a continuous analog signal based on the transducer output rather
than the display. The output is filtered to improve noise immunity and has a
response time of about 50 milliseconds.
TEST BUTTON
The TEST pushbutton on the front of the gauge, when depressed, switches the
display and output loop to a preset level determined by the setting of a Test
potentiometer. This test mode will allow setup and testing of the current loop by
switching to this test level whenever desired without having to alter the system
pressure.
To set the test output level, see gauge label for location of Test potentiometer.
Press and hold the front-panel TEST button and adjust the Test potentiometer
to set the display and loop current to the desired test level.
CALIBRATION
See gauge label for location of individual controls to adjust the zero and span
of the display.
GAUGE reference units may be re-zeroed without affecting the span calibration.
The gauge port must be open to the ambient with no pressure or vacuum
applied. Adjust the Zero control until the gauge reads zero with the minus (–)
sign occasionally flashing.
Span calibration should only be attempted if the user has access to a pressure
reference of known accuracy. The quality of the calibration is only as good as
the accuracy of the calibration equipment and ideally should be at least four
times the gauge accuracy. Zero calibration must be done before span calibra-
tion. Record readings at three to five points over the range of gauge and adjust
span control to minimize error and meet specifications.
ABSOLUTE reference gauges require vacuum generation and atmospheric
pressure measurement equipment for accurate calibration and thus are more dif-
ficult to calibrate in the field. Gauges may be returned to Cecomp Electronics for
factory certified recalibration. NIST traceability is available.
The F4L has internal controls to adjust the agreement between the displayed
value and the 4-20 mA loop current. These are set at the factory and should not
normally be adjusted. If adjustment is necessary, consult factory. Accurate
pressure generation and measurement and current measurement equipment
are required to successfully complete this calibration.

DESCRIPTION
All operating power for the F16L series is supplied by the 4-20 mA current loop. The
2-wire connection allows the F16L to be used as a digital indicating transmitter in any
4-20 mA current loop application. The output is a 12,000 count analog 4-20 mA sig-
nal. The output is filtered to improve noise immunity and is updated approximately 16
times per second. The temperature compensated piezoresistive transducer features
316 stainless steel wetted parts.
The TEST pushbutton, when depressed, switches the display and output loop to a
preset level determined by the keypad setting of the test value.
INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Install or remove gauge using wrench on hex fitting only. Do not attempt to tighten by
turning housing or any other part of the gauge. Use fittings appropriate for the pres-
sure range of the gauge. Do not apply vacuum to gauges not designed for vacuum
operation. Due to the hardness of 316 stainless steel, it is recommended that a
thread sealant be used to ensure leak-free operation.
NEVER insert objects into the gauge port or blow out with compressed air.
Permanent damage not covered by warranty will result to the sensor.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connection to the F16L is made with the 2-wire cable at the gauge rear. Connect the
loop (+) supply to the RED lead and the loop (–) supply to the BLACK lead. Reversing
the connections will not harm the gauge but the F16L will not operate with incorrect
polarity.
LOOP VOLTAGE
Select a loop power supply voltage and total loop resistance so that when the loop
current is 20 mA, the gauge will have at least 8 VDC at its terminals. For correct oper-
ation and to avoid erratic or erroneous readings, the gauge terminal voltage must not
fall below 8 VDC. Too large a loop resistance will cause the gauge output to “limit” or
saturate before reaching its full 20 mA output.
The minimum loop supply voltage may be calculated from the formula:
Vmin = 8V + (20mA x Total loop resistance)
If the terminal voltage of the gauge falls below about 7.8 VDC, erratic operation may
occur. This is an indication that the loop supply/resistance may not allow adequate
headroom for reliable operation. This should never occur in normal use. If it does,
examine the loop supply/resistance.
OPERATION
The F16L is designed for continuous operation. Warm-up time is negligible. When
power is first applied, the F16L will set the loop current to maximum and check the
voltage available. If there is sufficient voltage available to power the unit, all active
segments will be displayed briefly.
Then the full scale pressure range and engineering units are displayed. All active
segments will again displayed briefly. Then the display will show the system pres-
sure, and the loop current will also be proportional to the pressure/vacuum. The out-
put is linearly proportional to the pressure.
Pressure, vacuum, or absolute ranges: 4 mA = Zero or low end
20 mA = Span, full-scale or high end
Bipolar ranges: 4 mA = negative or low end
12 mA = Zero
20 mA = Span, full-scale or high end
Compound ranges: 4 mA = negative or low end
(can be custom scaled by factory) 12 mA = midscale over entire range
20 mA = Span, full-scale or high end
At power-up, if the voltage available is not sufficient, only the low power segment will
be displayed. This is an indication that the loop impedance is too high or the loop
power supply voltage is too low. After successful power-up, if the loop voltage falls
below the minimum required for reliable operation, the F16L will continue to indicate
pressure with the low power segment blinking at a slow rate.
TEST BUTTON
When the front-panel TEST button is held depressed, the display and loop current
are switched, independent of the system pressure, to a test level determined by the
test setting. This test mode will allow setup and testing of the current loop by switch-
ing to this test level whenever desired without having to alter the system pressure.
To set the test output level, press and hold the front-panel TEST button and press
the up or down arrow buttons to adjust the test output to the desired pressure setting.
This setting is stored in non-volatile memory.
When the TEST button is held depressed, the display and loop current are switched,
independent of the actual pressure, to a level determined by the test setting. When
the button is released, normal operation is resumed.
CALIBRATION
The gauge is calibrated at the factory using equipment traceable to NIST. There is
no need to calibrate the gauge before putting it in service. Complete calibration
instructions can be downloaded from www.cecomp.com.
Calibration should only be performed by qualified individuals using appropriate cali-
bration standards and procedures. The calibration equipment should be at least four
times more accurate than the gauge being calibrated. The calibration system must
be able to generate and measure pressure/vacuum over the full range of the gauge.
A vacuum pump able to produce a vacuum of 10 microns (0.01 torr or 10 millitorr) or
lower is required for vacuum and absolute gauges.
The F16 series uses a user-modifiable calibration passcode to enter the calibration
mode. In the calibration mode, the gauge automatically recognizes the calibration
region corresponding to the applied pressure. There are 3, 4, or 5 calibration regions
depending upon the pressure range of the gauge. All gauges have Zero, +Midpoint,
and +Span regions. Gauges that measure vacuum as well as pressure will also have
a –Span region, and if the sensor is 15 psig or less, the gauge will have a –Midpoint
region as well.
Calibration of the loop output coordinates the 4-20 mA output to the display indica-
tion, and is performed independently of applied pressure. It requires a direct physical
measurement of the output. Calibration of the output coordinates the loop output to
the display indication, and normally does not need to be adjusted. This calibration
procedure can be downloaded from www.cecomp.com.

DPG1000DR Series Instructions
© 01-08
Cecomp maintains a constant effort to upgrade and improve its products. Specifications
are subject to change without notice. Consult factory for your specific requirements.
INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Install or remove the gauge using wrench on hex fitting only. Do not attempt to tighten by
turning housing or any other part of the gauge. Use fittings appropriate for the pressure
range of the gauge. Do not apply vacuum to gauges not designed for vacuum operation.
Due to the hardness of 316 stainless steel, it is recommended that a thread sealant be used
to ensure leak-free operation. NEVER insert objects into the gauge port or blow out with
compressed air. Permanent damage not covered by warranty will result to the sensor.
NEVER connect the gauge wires directly to 115 VAC or permanent damage not covered
by warranty will result!
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The DPG1000DR series can be powered by any 9 to 32 VDC or 8 to 24 VAC 50/60 Hz
power source. An inexpensive unregulated low voltage source can be used. The magnitude
of the supply voltage has negligible effect on the gauge calibration as long as it is within the
stated voltage ranges. Do not allow the gauge supply voltage fall below 9 VDC or 8 VAC
RMS. Operation below these values may cause erratic or erroneous readings or output.
Models with 4-20 mA output power the current loop. Use a power source with sufficient volt-
age to operate the current loop.
Connection is made with the 4-conductor cable at the gauge rear. This cable accommo-
dates both the gauge power supply and retransmission output. If using a 9 to 32 VDC
power source, connect the (+) supply to the RED lead and the (–) supply to the BLACK
lead. If using a 8 to 24 VAC 50/60 Hz power source, connect to the RED and BLACK leads.
When using low voltage AC power, there is of course, no polarity consideration.
The (+) retransmission output appears on the WHITE lead, and the (–) retransmission out-
put appears on the GREEN lead. Use of the shield (drain) wire of the retransmission out-
put is optional. It is not generally needed for 4-20 mA current loops unless very long cable
lengths are used in electrically noisy environments.
Power – BLACK
Power + RED
Output – GREEN
Output + WHITE
The output is a continuous analog signal based on the transducer output rather than the
display. This output is filtered to improve noise immunity and has a response time of about
50 milliseconds.
The power supply (–) lead is tied to the retransmission output ground. Therefore, if a DC
supply is used, the power supply (–) lead should be considered common with regard to the
retransmission output (–) connection.
USING THE RETRANSMISSION OUTPUT
NEVER connect retransmission output wires together or to an external power source or
permanent damage not covered by warranty will result.
For 4-20 mA output models, be sure to observe the output compliance (voltage drive) capa-
bilities of the gauge. The compliance, and therefore the maximum loop resistance the out-
put can drive, is a function of the supply voltage to the gauge. Consult the graph shown
below for maximum loop resistance vs. gauge supply voltage. Too large a loop resistance
will cause the gauge output to “limit” or saturate before reaching its full 20 mA output.
When using the 0-2 volt retransmission output, do not allow the resistive load on the out-
put to fall below 5K ohms. Avoid large capacitive loads (greater that 1000 pF) such as those
caused by long runs of shielded cable. For long cable runs, use a 4-20 mA output model.
OPERATION
The gauge is powered on whenever a supply voltage is applied. Warm-up time is negligi-
ble. In normal operation, the system pressure is displayed on the LCD and an output sig-
nal will be present. DPG1000DRBL model display backlighting will be on whenever power
is on. The display backlighting will not be apparent under bright lighting conditions.
TEST BUTTON
When the front-panel TEST button is held depressed, the display and retransmission out-
put are switched, independent of the system pressure, to a test level determined by the set-
ting of the Test potentiometer. This test mode will allow setup and testing of the output and
any external device(s) connected to it by switching to this test level whenever desired with-
out having to alter the system pressure.
To set the test output level, see gauge label for location of Test potentiometer. Press and
hold the front-panel TEST button and adjust the Test potentiometer to set the display and
retransmitted output to the desired test level.
CALIBRATION
The gauge is calibrated at the factory using equipment traceable to NIST. There is no need
to calibrate the gauge before putting it in service. Complete calibration instructions can be
downloaded from www.cecomp.com. Gauges may be returned to Cecomp Electronics for
factory certified recalibration. NIST traceability is available.
Span calibration should only be attempted if the user has access to a pressure reference
of known accuracy. The quality of the calibration is only as good as the accuracy of the cal-
ibration equipment and ideally should be at least four times the gauge accuracy.
Absolute reference gauges require vacuum generation and atmospheric pressure meas-
urement equipment for accurate calibration and are more difficult to calibrate in the field.
The calibration system must be able to generate and measure pressure/vacuum over the
full range of the gauge. A vacuum pump able to produce a vacuum of 10 microns (0.01 torr
or 10 millitorr) or lower is required for vacuum and absolute gauges.
1. Low-voltage powered gauges must be connected to 8-24 VAC 50/60 Hz or 9-32 VDC
during the calibration procedure. The supply voltage has negligible effects on the gauge
calibration as long as it is within the stated voltage ranges.
2. Allow the gauge to equalize to normal room temperature before calibration.
3. Access the individual controls to adjust the zero and span of the display.
4. Zero calibration must be done before span calibration.
5. Zero for gauge reference pressure or vacuum gauges: Gauge reference units may
be re-zeroed without affecting the span calibration. The gauge port must be open to the
ambient with no pressure or vacuum applied. Adjust the Zero potentiometer for a display
indication of zero with the minus (–) sign occasionally flashing.
Zero for absolute reference gauges: Apply full vacuum to the gauge. Adjust the Zero
potentiometer for a display indication of zero with the minus (–) sign occasionally flashing.
6. Span for gauge reference pressure gauges and absolute reference gauges: Apply
full-scale pressure and adjust the Span potentiometer for a display indication equal to
full-scale pressure.
Span for gauge reference vacuum gauges: Apply full vacuum to the gauge. Adjust the
Span potentiometer for a display indication equal to full-scale vacuum.
7. Verify pressure indications at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of full scale and repeat
calibration as needed to achieve best accuracy over desired operating range.
Calibration of the retransmission output coordinates the retransmission output to the dis-
play indication, and normally does not need to be adjusted. It requires a direct physical
measurement of the retransmission output. This calibration procedure can be downloaded
from www.cecomp.com.

INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Install or remove the gauge using wrench on hex fitting only. Do not attempt to tighten by
turning housing or any other part of the gauge. Use fittings appropriate for the pressure
range of the gauge. Do not apply vacuum to gauges not designed for vacuum operation.
Due to the hardness of 316 stainless steel, it is recommended that a thread sealant be used
to ensure leak-free operation. NEVER insert objects into the gauge port or blow out with
compressed air. Permanent damage not covered by warranty will result to the sensor.
NEVER connect the gauge wires directly to 115 VAC or permanent damage not covered
by warranty will result!
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The F4DR series can be powered by any 9 to 32 VDC or 8 to 24 VAC 50/60 Hz power
source. An inexpensive unregulated low voltage source can be used. The magnitude of the
supply voltage has negligible effect on the gauge calibration as long as it is within the stat-
ed voltage ranges. Do not allow the gauge supply voltage fall below 9 VDC or 8 VAC RMS.
Operation below these values may cause erratic or erroneous readings or output. Models
with 4-20 mA output power the current loop. Use a power source with sufficient voltage to
operate the current loop.
Connection is made with the 4-conductor cable at the gauge rear. This cable accommo-
dates both the gauge power supply and retransmission output. If using a 9 to 32 VDC
power source, connect the (+) supply to the RED lead and the (–) supply to the BLACK
lead. If using a 8 to 24 VAC 50/60 Hz power source, connect to the RED and BLACK leads.
When using low voltage AC power, there is of course, no polarity consideration.
The (+) retransmission output appears on the WHITE lead, and the (–) retransmission out-
put appears on the GREEN lead. Use of the shield (drain) wire of the retransmission out-
put is optional. It is not generally needed for 4-20 mA current loops unless very long cable
lengths are used in electrically noisy environments.
Power – BLACK
Power + RED
Output – GREEN
Output + WHITE
The output is a continuous analog signal based on the transducer output rather than the
display. This output is filtered to improve noise immunity and has a response time of about
50 milliseconds.
The power supply (–) lead is tied to the retransmission output ground. Therefore, if a DC
supply is used, the power supply (–) lead should be considered common with regard to the
retransmission output (–) connection.
USING THE RETRANSMISSION OUTPUT
NEVER connect retransmission output wires together or to an external power source or
permanent damage not covered by warranty will result.
For 4-20 mA output models, be sure to observe the output compliance (voltage drive) capa-
bilities of the gauge. The compliance, and therefore the maximum loop resistance the out-
put can drive, is a function of the supply voltage to the gauge. Consult the graph shown
below for maximum loop resistance vs. gauge supply voltage. Too large a loop resistance
will cause the gauge output to “limit” or saturate before reaching its full 20 mA output.
When using the 0-2 volt retransmission output, do not allow the resistive load on the out-
put to fall below 5K ohms. Avoid large capacitive loads (greater that 1000 pF) such as those
caused by long runs of shielded cable. For long cable runs, use a 4-20 mA output model.
OPERATION
The gauge is powered on whenever a supply voltage is applied. Warm-up time is negligi-
ble. In normal operation, the system pressure is displayed on the LCD and an output sig-
nal will be present. F4DRBL model display backlighting will be on whenever power is on.
The display backlighting will not be apparent under bright lighting conditions.
TEST BUTTON
When the front-panel TEST button is held depressed, the display and retransmission out-
put are switched, independent of the system pressure, to a test level determined by the set-
ting of the Test potentiometer. This test mode will allow setup and testing of the output and
any external device(s) connected to it by switching to this test level whenever desired with-
out having to alter the system pressure.
To set the test output level, see gauge label for location of Test potentiometer. Press and
hold the front-panel TEST button and adjust the Test potentiometer to set the display and
retransmitted output to the desired test level.
CALIBRATION
The gauge is calibrated at the factory using equipment traceable to NIST. There is no need
to calibrate the gauge before putting it in service. Complete calibration instructions can be
downloaded from www.cecomp.com. Gauges may be returned to Cecomp Electronics for
factory certified recalibration. NIST traceability is available.
Span calibration should only be attempted if the user has access to a pressure reference
of known accuracy. The quality of the calibration is only as good as the accuracy of the cal-
ibration equipment and ideally should be at least four times the gauge accuracy.
Absolute reference gauges require vacuum generation and atmospheric pressure meas-
urement equipment for accurate calibration and are more difficult to calibrate in the field.
The calibration system must be able to generate and measure pressure/vacuum over the
full range of the gauge. A vacuum pump able to produce a vacuum of 10 microns (0.01 torr
or 10 millitorr) or lower is required for vacuum and absolute gauges.
1. Low-voltage powered gauges must be connected to 8-24 VAC 50/60 Hz or 9-32 VDC
during the calibration procedure. The supply voltage has negligible effects on the gauge
calibration as long as it is within the stated voltage ranges.
2. Allow the gauge to equalize to normal room temperature before calibration.
3. Access the individual controls to adjust the zero and span of the display.
4. Zero calibration must be done before span calibration.
5. Zero for gauge reference pressure or vacuum gauges: Gauge reference units may
be re-zeroed without affecting the span calibration. The gauge port must be open to the
ambient with no pressure or vacuum applied. Adjust the Zero potentiometer for a display
indication of zero with the minus (–) sign occasionally flashing.
Zero for absolute reference gauges: Apply full vacuum to the gauge. Adjust the Zero
potentiometer for a display indication of zero with the minus (–) sign occasionally flashing.
6. Span for gauge reference pressure gauges and absolute reference gauges: Apply
full-scale pressure and adjust the Span potentiometer for a display indication equal to
full-scale pressure.
Span for gauge reference vacuum gauges: Apply full vacuum to the gauge. Adjust the
Span potentiometer for a display indication equal to full-scale vacuum.
7. Verify pressure indications at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of full scale and repeat
calibration as needed to achieve best accuracy over desired operating range.
Calibration of the retransmission output coordinates the retransmission output to the dis-
play indication, and normally does not need to be adjusted. It requires a direct physical
measurement of the retransmission output. This calibration procedure can be downloaded
from www.cecomp.com.

Cecomp maintains a constant effort to upgrade and improve its products. Specifications
are subject to change without notice. Consult factory for your specific requirements.
INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Install or remove the gauge using wrench on hex fitting only.
Do not attempt to tighten by turning housing or any other part of the gauge. Use fit-
tings appropriate for the pressure range of the gauge.
Do not apply vacuum to gauges not designed for vacuum operation.
Due to the hardness of 316 stainless steel, it is recommended that a thread sealant
be used to ensure leak-free operation.
NEVER insert objects into the gauge port or blow out with compressed air.
Permanent damage not covered by warranty will result to the sensor.
NEVER connect the gauge wires directly to 115 VAC or permanent damage not cov-
ered by warranty will result!
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The F16DR can be powered by any 9 to 32 VDC or 8 to 24 VAC 50/60 Hz power
source. If the supply voltage falls below 9 VDC or 8 VAC RMS erratic operation or
erroneous output may occur. Models with 4-20 mA output power the current loop.
Use a power source with sufficient voltage to operate the current loop.
Connection is made with the 4-conductor cable at the gauge rear. This cable accom-
modates both the gauge power supply and retransmission output. This cable has one
RED and one BLACK lead. If using a 9 to 32 VDC power source, connect the (+) sup-
ply to the RED lead and the (–) supply to the BLACK lead. There is no polarity con-
sideration if using a 8 to 24 VAC 50/60 Hz power source.
The (+) retransmission output appears on the WHITE lead, and the (–) retransmis-
sion output appears on the GREEN lead. NEVER connect retransmission output
wires together or to an external power source or permanent damage not covered by
warranty will result. The power supply (–) lead is tied to the retransmission output
ground. Therefore, if a DC supply is used, the power supply (–) lead should be con-
sidered common with regard to the retransmission output (–) connection.

Power + RED
Output – GREEN
Output + WHITE
Use of the shield (drain) wire of the retransmission output is optional. It is not gener-
ally needed for 4-20 mA current loops unless very long cable lengths are used in
electrically noisy environments.
For 4-20 mA output models, be sure to observe the output compliance (voltage drive)
capabilities of the gauge. The maximum loop resistance the output can drive, is a
function of the supply voltage to the gauge. Too large a loop resistance will cause the
gauge output to “limit” or saturate before reaching its full 20 mA output.
For voltage output models, do not allow the resistive load on the output to fall below
5K ohms. Avoid large capacitive loads (greater than 1000 pF) such as those caused
by long runs of shielded cable. For long cable runs, 4-20 mA output is prefered.
POWER-UP AND NORMAL OPERATION
When power is first applied, the gauge startup sequence is as follows.
1. All active display segments are turned on for approximately 1 second.
2. The full scale pressure is indicated for approximately 1 second, while
a. engineering units are displayed for 1/2 second on the character segments,
b. FS is displayed for 1/2 second on the character segments,
c. all active display segments are again turned on for approximately 1 second.
During the startup sequence, the retransmission output is low (–2.5 VDC or 0 mA).
The display initially indicates the applied pressure with engineering units on the char-
acter segments.The retransmission output corresponds to the applied pressure.
TEST RETRANSMISSION OUTPUT MODE
From the Normal mode with applied pressure being displayed, press and hold the
TEST button and press the SEL (select) button. Release both buttons when the dis-
play indicates _ _ _ _ .
While in the Test Retransmission Output mode with no buttons pressed, the display
will indicate the applied pressure with engineering units blinking at a slow rate on the
character segments, and the retransmission output will correspond to the applied
pressure.
When the TEST button is pressed and held, the display will indicate the preset test
value with TEST on the character segments, and the retransmission output will cor-
respond to the test value displayed.
Pressing the ▲or the ▼button while holding the TEST button will raise or lower the
test value. The gauge will not respond to changes in applied pressure while the TEST
button is held pressed.
To exit the Test Retransmission Output mode and return to Normal mode, press and
release the SEL button.
CALIBRATION MODE
The gauge is calibrated at the factory using equipment traceable to NIST. There is
no need to calibrate the gauge before putting it in service. Complete calibration
instructions can be downloaded from www.cecomp.com.
Calibration should only be performed by qualified individuals using appropriate cali-
bration standards and procedures. The calibration equipment should be at least four
times more accurate than the gauge being calibrated. The calibration system must
be able to generate and measure pressure/vacuum over the full range of the gauge.
A vacuum pump able to produce a vacuum of 10 microns (0.01 torr or 10 millitorr) or
lower is required for vacuum and absolute gauges.
The F16 series uses a user-modifiable calibration passcode to enter the calibration
mode. In the calibration mode, the gauge automatically recognizes the calibration
region corresponding to the applied pressure. There are 3, 4, or 5 calibration regions
depending upon the pressure range of the gauge. All gauges have Zero, +Midpoint,
and +Span regions. Gauges that measure vacuum as well as pressure will also have
a –Span region, and if the sensor is 15 psig or less, the gauge will have a –Midpoint
region as well.
Calibration of the retransmission output coordinates the retransmission output to the
display indication, and is performed independently of applied pressure. It requires a
direct physical measurement of the retransmission output. The pressure calibration
procedure simultaneously adjusts both the display indication and the retransmission
output to correspond to the actual applied pressure.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Install or remove gauge using wrench on hex fitting only. Do not attempt to tighten by turn-
ing housing or any other part of the gauge. Use fittings appropriate for the pressure range
of the gauge. Do not apply vacuum to gauges not designed for vacuum operation. Due to
the hardness of 316 stainless steel, it is recommended that a thread sealant be used to
ensure leak-free operation. NEVER insert objects into the gauge port or blow out with com-
pressed air. Permanent damage not covered by warranty will result to the sensor.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
NEVER connect the gauge power wires directly to 115 VAC or permanent damage not cov-
ered by warranty will result! The two-conductor cable at the gauge rear with the RED and
BLACK leads is for the gauge power supply. Connect to 8 to 24 VAC, 50/60Hz or 9 to 32
VDC. The gauge will operate on either AC or DC power and there is no need to observe
polarity. An unregulated power supply can be used. The supply voltage, when within the
stated ranges, has negligible effect on the gauge calibration. Operation below 9 VDC or 8
VAC may cause erratic or erroneous readings or output.
The gauge is powered on whenever a supply voltage is applied. Warm-up time is negligi-
ble. In normal operation, the system pressure is displayed.
The 6-conductor cable is for the 2 SPDT relay contacts.
Contact 1 Normally Closed (NC) BLACK
Contact 1 Common (C) RED
Contact 1 Normally Open (NO) WHITE
Contact 2 Normally Closed (NC) GREEN
Contact 2 Common (C) BROWN
Contact 2 Normally Open (NO) BLUE
The shield (drain) wire is generally not needed for 4-20 mA current loops
unless long cable lengths are used in electrically noisy environments.
USING THE RETRANSMISSION OUTPUT
NEVER connect retransmission output wires together or to an external power source or per-
manent damage not covered by warranty will result.
The output is a continuous analog signal based
on the transducer output rather than the dis-
play. It is filtered to improve noise immunity
and has a response time of about 50 millisec-
onds. The power supply (–) lead is tied to the
retransmission output ground. Therefore, if a
DC supply is used, the power supply (–) lead
should be considered common with regard to
the retransmission output (–) connection.
With the 0-2 volt output models (-V option), do
not allow the resistive load on the output to fall
below 5K ohms. Avoid large capacitive loads
(greater that 1000 pF) such as those caused
by long runs of shielded cable. For long cable
runs, use a 4-20 mA output model.
For 4-20 mA models (-I option) the compli-
ance (voltage drive) capability of the gauge
and the maximum loop resistance the output
can drive is a function of the supply voltage to
the gauge. The graph above shows the maxi-
mum loop resistance vs. gauge supply volt-
age. Too large a loop resistance will cause the
gauge output to “limit” or saturate before
reaching its full 20 mA output.
ALARM OPERATION
System pressure is compared to two independent setpoint levels; setpoint 1 and setpoint 2.
Pressing the SP1 or SP2 buttons will switch the display to show and allow adjusting of the
setpoints. Lift calibration label on the top of the unit to access individual controls to adjust
setpoint 1 and Setpoint 2. See gauge rear label for locations.
To adjust setpoint 1, press and hold the SP1 button. When holding the SP1 button, the dis-
play will show the current setting for setpoint 1. Turn the setpoint 1 potentiometer. Repeat
the procedure by pressing the SP2 button to adjust setpoint 2.
Alarm status is indicated on the two LEDs in the corner of the SP1 and SP2 buttons. Green
is a non-alarm condition. Red is an alarm condition. For models with a HI alarm, the alarm
LED will be Red if the system pressure exceeds the setpoint. For models with a LO alarm,
the LED will be Red if the system pressure falls below the setpoint.
Alarm Action: The alarm configuration is factory set. Normal acting 1N, 2N, or 3N config-
urations provide an alarm condition if the gauge loses power.
Reverse acting 1R, 2R, or 3R configurations provide no alarm indication when the gauge
power is off.
Alarm Hysteresis: The built-in alarm hysteresis of 1% of span eliminates alarm chatter due
to minor fluctuations in pressure. For example, this is approximately 1 psi in a 100 psi
gauge. If the SP1 (HI alarm) is set to 50.0 psi, the alarm will trip above 50.0 psi. After the
alarm has tripped, pressing the SP1 button will show approximately 49 psi, the pressure at
which the alarm will release.
Contact Rating and Protection – The alarm relay contacts are rated at 1A/24VDC or
0.5A/115VAC. Using mechanical relay contacts above their rating, or with large inductive
loads, will shorten their useful life. In circuits other than low-level switching or pilot duty, use
external protection such as a snubber or an arc suppression network to protect the contacts.
No internal fusing is included in the alarm contact circuits. The circuit external to the gauge
alarm outputs should be fused by the user.
TEST BUTTON
The TEST button toggles the alarm output relays to their opposite state and switches the
display and retransmission output to a level determined by the setting of the Test poten-
tiometer. This allows testing of the alarms and retransmission output independent of the
system pressure. To set the Test output level, press and hold the front panel TEST button
and adjust the Test potentiometer to set the output to the desired test level as indicated on
the display.
CALIBRATION
The gauge is calibrated at the factory using equipment traceable to NIST. There is no need
to calibrate the gauge before putting it in service. Complete calibration instructions can be
downloaded from www.cecomp.com. Gauges may be returned to Cecomp Electronics for
factory certified recalibration. NIST traceability is available.
Span calibration should only be attempted if the user has access to a pressure reference of
known accuracy. Absolute reference gauges require vacuum generation and atmospheric
pressure measurement equipment for accurate calibration and thus are more difficult to cal-
ibrate in the field. The quality of the calibration is only as good as the accuracy of the cali-
bration equipment and ideally should be at least four times the gauge accuracy. The cali-
bration system must be able to generate and measure pressure/vacuum over the full range
of the gauge. A vacuum pump able to produce a vacuum of 10 microns (0.01 torr or 10 mil-
litorr) or lower is required for vacuum and absolute gauges.
1. Low-voltage powered gauges must be connected to 8-24 VAC 50/60 Hz or 9-32 VDC
during the calibration procedure. The supply voltage has negligible effects on the gauge
calibration as long as it is within the stated voltage ranges.
2. Allow the gauge to equalize to normal room temperature before calibration.
3. Lift calibration label on the top of the unit to access individual controls to adjust the zero
and span of the display.
4. Zero calibration must be done before span calibration.
5. Zero for gauge reference pressure or vacuum gauges: Gauge reference units may
be re-zeroed without affecting the span calibration. The gauge port must be open to the
ambient with no pressure or vacuum applied. Adjust the Zero potentiometer for a display
indication of zero with the minus (–) sign occasionally flashing.
Zero for absolute reference gauges: Apply full vacuum to the gauge. Adjust the Zero
potentiometer for a display indication of zero with the minus (–) sign occasionally flash-
ing.
6. Span for gauge reference pressure gauges and absolute reference gauges: Apply
full-scale pressure and adjust the Span potentiometer for a display indication equal to
full-scale pressure.
Span for gauge reference vacuum gauges: Apply full vacuum to the gauge. Adjust the
Span potentiometer for a display indication equal to full-scale vacuum.
7. Verify pressure indications at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of full scale and repeat
calibration as needed to achieve best accuracy over desired operating range.
Calibration of the retransmission output coordinates the retransmission output to the display
indication, and normally does not need to be adjusted. It requires a direct physical meas-
urement of the retransmission output. This calibration procedure can be downloaded from
www.cecomp.com.

Installation Precautions
Install or remove gauge using wrench on hex fitting only. Do not turn using housing or any
other part of the gauge. Use fittings appropriate for the pressure range of the gauge. Do
not apply vacuum to gauges not designed for vacuum operation. Due to the hardness of
316 stainless steel, it is recommended that a thread sealant be used to ensure leak-free
operation. NEVER insert objects into the gauge port or blow out with compressed air.
Permanent damage will result to the sensor.
Power Connections
NEVER connect the gauge power wires directly to 115 VAC or permanent damage will
result! The F16DAR series can be powered by any AC source 8 to 24 VAC 50/60 Hz or any
DC source 9 to 32 VDC
Connect power to the smaller two-conductor cable with one RED and one BLACK lead. The
gauge will not operate with incorrect DC polarity. Operation with less than 8 VAC RMS if
AC, or 9 VDC may cause erratic or erroneous readings or alarm operation.
Alarm Contact Wiring
The 6-conductor cable is for the 2 SPDT relay contacts.
Contact 1 Normally Closed (NC) BLACK
Contact 1 Common (C) RED
Contact 1 Normally Open (NO) WHITE
Contact 2 Normally Closed (NC) GREEN
Contact 2 Common (C) BROWN
Contact 2 Normally Open (NO) BLUE
Contact Rating and Protection - The alarm contacts
are rated at 1A/24VDC or 0.5A/115VAC. Using mechanical relay contacts above their rat-
ing, or with large inductive loads, will shorten their useful life. In circuits other than low-level
switching or pilot duty, the user should consider whether external contact protection such
as snubber networks or arc suppression networks are required to protect the contacts. No
internal fusing is included in the alarm contact circuits. The alarm outputs should be exter-
nally fused by the user in applications where good design practice dictates.
Power-Up
The gauge is powered on whenever a supply voltage is applied. The gauge may be left on
at all times or as required. Alarm setpoints, the calibration pass code, and calibration infor-
mation are stored in non-volatile memory. When power is first applied, the gauge proceeds
through a startup sequence as follows:
1. The firmware version number is displayed briefly
2. All active display segments are turned on for approximately 1 second
3. The full scale pressure is indicated for approximately 1 second while
a. Engineering units are displayed for 1/2 second on the character segments
b. FS is displayed for 1/2 second on the character segments
4. All active display segments are again turned on for approximately 1 second
During the startup sequence, the relays are de-energized, the status LEDs are off, and the
retransmission output is low (–2.5 VDC or 0 mA).
The gauge then proceeds to the Normal mode.
Normal Mode (Fixed Deadband Configuration)
The display initially indicates the applied pressure with engineering units.
The retransmission output corresponds to the applied pressure.
The relevant LCD alarm icon will indicate an alarm condition.
The relevant bi-color LED will be illuminated green for a normal condition or red for an
alarm condition. The LED will blink at a slow rate until the alarm is acknowledged. Alarms
may be configured to be automatically acknowledged when the alarm condition clears or to
be manually acknowledged. To manually acknowledge an alarm condition, press and
release the TEST button.
The applied pressure, the value of Trip Point 1, and the value of Trip Point 2 may be select-
ed for display as follows:
When the applied pressure is being displayed, press and release the SEL button. The Trip
Point 1 value will be displayed with TRIP1 on the lower display.
When the Trip Point 1 value is being displayed, press and release the SEL button. The

Calibration Mode
The gauge is calibrated at the factory using equipment traceable to NIST. There is no need
to calibrate the gauge before putting it in service. Calibration should only be performed by
qualified individuals using appropriate calibration standards and procedures. The calibra-
tion equipment should be at least four times more accurate than the gauge being calibrat-
ed. The calibration system must be able to generate and measure pressure/vacuum over
the full range of the gauge. A vacuum pump able to produce a vacuum of 10 microns (0.01
torr or 10 millitorr) or lower is required for vacuum and absolute gauges.

If the applied pressure is not being displayed, press and release the SEL button to step to
the pressure calibration sequence, indicated by CAL on the display.
Note: If the SEL button is held depressed for longer than 2 seconds, the display will change
to indicate ‘- - - -’, and the gauge will exit the calibration mode when all buttons are
released.
Zero calibration: Apply zero pressure. The lower display will alternate between CAL and
ZERO. Use the ▲and ▼buttons to adjust the upper display to indicate zero.
Span calibration: Apply full-scale pressure. The lower display will alternate between CAL
and +SPAN. Use the ▲and ▼buttons to adjust the upper display to indicate the applied
pressure value.
Midpoint Non-Linearity calibration: Apply 50% full-scale positive pressure. The lower dis-
play will alternate between CAL and +MID. Use the ▲and ▼buttons to adjust the upper
display to indicate the applied pressure value.
Negative Span calibration (bipolar and compound ranges only): Apply full-scale negative
pressure. The lower display will alternate between CAL and SPAN. Use the ▲and ▼but-
tons to adjust the upper display to indicate the applied pressure value.
Negative Midpoint Non-Linearity calibration (bipolar ranges only): Apply 50% full-scale neg-
ative pressure. The lower display will alternate between CAL and MID. Use the ▲and ▼
buttons to adjust the upper display to indicate the applied pressure value.
To store the calibration parameters and exit calibration mode, press and hold the SEL but-
ton until the display indicates ‘- - - -’.
Changing the User-Defined Calibration and Configuration Pass Code
From the Normal mode with applied pressure being displayed, press and hold the TEST
and the ▲buttons. Then press the SEL button. Release all buttons when the display indi-
cates CFG.
Before the gauge proceeds to the User-Defined Calibration Pass code change mode, the
display initially indicates ‘_ _ _ _’ with the left-most underscore blinking, and with PASS on
the lower display.
While in the pass code entry mode the LEDs will be off and the gauge will not respond to
changes in applied pressure. The relays will maintain their prior state. The gauge will auto-
matically revert to normal operation if no buttons are operated for approximately 15 sec-
onds.
Enter factory pass code 1220
Use the ▲and ▼buttons to set the left-most digit to 1.
Press and release the SEL button to index to the next position. The 1 will remain, and the
second position will be blinking.
Use the ▲and ▼buttons to select 2.
Press and release the SEL button to index to the next position. 1 2 will remain, and the third
position will be blinking.
Use the ▲and ▼buttons to select 2.
Press and release the SEL button to index to the next position. 1 2 2 will remain, and the
fourth position will be blinking.
Use the ▲and ▼buttons to select 0.
Press and release the SEL button to proceed. Note: If an incorrect pass code was entered,
the gauge will exit to the normal operating mode.
Once the correct password has been entered, the display will indicate the existing calibra-
tion pass code with UDPCD on the lower display.
Note: While in the calibration pass code change mode, the LEDs will be off and the gauge
will not respond to changes in applied pressure and the relays will be de-energized.
1. Operate the ▲or ▼button to select the first character of the calibration password.
2. When the correct first character is being displayed, press and release the SEL button to
proceed to the next password character.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 above until the entire password is complete.
To exit the User-Defined Calibration Pass code change mode, press and hold the SEL but-
ton. Release the button when the display indicates ‘- - - -’ to restart the gauge in the Normal
mode.
