About This Manual
The bench-top UPS3000 and the rack-mountable UPS3110 and UPS3210 pneumatic pressure standards are
rugged, compact instruments manufactured by CONDEC. They are designed to provide superior accuracy, range
of calibration and ease of operation when used to assist in the manufacture, test and/or calibration of a wide
variety of pressure sensing and measuring devices.
These instruments utilize an extremely repeatable sensor coupled to microprocessor-based electronic circuitry
and a selectable units display system. This provides easily readable and accurate digital representation of the
measured pressure. If required for portable use, the optional battery models, are able to provide up to six hours of
use.
The UPS3110 all electro-mechanical device has our precision Orion vernier and one test port. Some models
contain a front panel gage, to show the operator the input pressure, as well as, a pressure regulator that will act as
a pressure limiter so that the operator can not over pressure a unit under test. A test hose is supplied for the
customer. Standard front panel buttons and switches provide selection of the desired pressure range, push-button
zeroing and the unique internal self-check feature.
This manual has been written to give the user a simple and clear explanation of how to operate, calibrate and
maintain these instruments.
Before attempting to use either style, Pressure Standard, the following instructions
must be carefully read and understood by personnel utilizing the equipment. This is a
high-pressure system. While a substantial effort has been expended to make this
equipment safe, simple and fool-proof to operate, it is strongly recommended that only
personnel formally trained in the use of pneumatic pressure equipment be permitted to
operate it. Potentially dangerous conditions could be produced through negligent
handling or operation of the console due to the high pressure contained within the unit.
UPS3110 units are strictly for use with pneumatic pressures. Erroneous readings and
potential damage could result from the introduction of hydraulic fluids into the internal
tubing lines.

2UPS3000/UPS3110/UPS3210 Operation & Maintenance Manual
1.0 Introduction
Utilizing microprocessor technology, the UPS3000, rack-mountable UPS3110 and UPS3210 instruments offer a
combination of features, performance, versatility and reliability not previously available in a single,
self-contained pressure calibration instrument. The following list notes the features and benefits of each unit:
• Three independent switch-selectable pressure ranges per instrument.
• Nine button-selectable units (PSI, kPa, Bar, mBar, kg/cm2, mmHg, inHg, cmH2O, inH2O) plus percent
of full scale may be displayed on instrument.
• Accuracy of each range equal to or better than ±0.05% Full Scale.
• Both “Gage” and “Absolute” pressure calibrations available via front panel switch selection.
• Automatic self-check: Computer-controlled internal circuitry provides automatic maintenance of both
zero and span calibration data to insure long-term stability and accuracy.
• Digital Display: Eliminates parallax, interpolation and operator judgement errors. Large, bright, red LED
digits provide excellent readability under all lighting conditions.
• UPS3110 only - Using a manually adjustable regulator, the maximum system input pressure is adjusted
to any desired value higher (typically 20 to 50%) than the full scale range of the device being tested. By
virtue of this technique, the unit under test is fully protected from being inadvertently over-pressurized.
• Fast Response: Pressure data refreshed and updated at the rate of 12 times per second.
• Data Output: Serial Data, 20 mA loop, ASCII code format with start, stop and parity bits supplied as
standard practice. RS232 Simplex output available as an option.
• Calibration Integrity: Tamper-proof design. Once calibrated, numerous safeguards guarantee the
integrity of pressure readings obtained. Display prompting provides the operator with functional status
information during both operation and calibration.
• Pressure Media: UPS3000 and UPS3210, any gas or fluid compatible with 17-4 PH stainless steel alloy.
UPS3110, only gas compatible with 17-4 PH stainless steel alloy.
• Simple Operation: All controls and indicators are accessible from the front panel. Accompanying
operator's manual provides clear, concise instructions for system operation
• Safe, Clean Operation: All pressure components are made of brass, copper, aluminum or stainless steel
and proof-tested to at least 150% of maximum operating pressure. In addition, the UPS3110 system
contains a high-pressure relief valve to protect both the operator and system components from harm in
the event of inadvertent over-pressurization.
The heart of this indicator/calibration system is a highly stable and repeatable pressure transducer. These sensors
produce an electrical output signal which is linearly proportional to the applied pressure. This transduction
technique has been employed by CONDEC for many years and has realized hundreds of thousands of hours of
reliable operation.
By combining these sensors with sophisticated microprocessor-based circuitry, an even higher degree of
operational accuracy and precision has been accomplished. For example, computer-generated correction curves
for both the non-linearity and the hysteresis of the sensors improve these characteristics by an order of magnitude
or more. In addition, a “self-calibration” feature insures long-term accuracy by utilizing the computer to generate
and control an internal “shunt calibration mode” of operation. The indicators full-scale reading is compared
against, and if necessary, corrected to the digitally-stored value for full scale obtained at the time of initial
pressure calibration.
The UPS3000 and UPS3210 indicators, as well as, the UPS3110 calibrator has capability for an internal,
rechargeable 12 volt lead acid battery, which provides a minimum of 6 hours of complete usage, when battery is
fully charged. An ON/OFF switch is provided to conserve energy when the instrument is not in use. It also has a
LO BATT indicator. After receiving and prior to operating new battery models, reinstall (+) cable, red wire, on
battery.

Introduction 3
With all its sophistication however, a great deal of effort has been expended to make the instruments simple to
operate and easy to calibrate.
Two micro-metering valves and vernier are provided to control the UPS3110 pressure source while the digital
display indicates precisely the magnitude of the applied test pressure. Also, a pair of simple push-button switches
provide both “zeroing” of the pressure display and the selection of either the “Gage” or “Absolute” calibration
mode. In like manner, the “Range” selection is accomplished via a clearly marked rotary switch. Over-pressure
protection is provided on lower pressure UPS3110 models via a fully adjustable pressure regulator which is
manually set for each new device being tested.
With respect to calibration, the instruments have been designed and programmed to be very user friendly in that
they provide the operator with various prompting symbols and legends during each phase of the calibration
sequence. Also, to prevent unauthorized tampering or calibrations, numerous features have been incorporated
which greatly minimize this potential danger. Also, the electronic circuitry has been designed without any
potentiometers or adjustments which eliminates the possibility of unwanted changes. Finally, the computer has
been programmed with a series of internal self-diagnostic routines which continually monitor and check every bit
of data stored and processed by this system, and immediately either notes or shuts down operation in the event of
an out-of-tolerance reading or outright failures.
The following schematic provides an overview of the UPS3110’s function.

2.4 Configuration Switch Settings
As normally supplied, the UPS3000, UPS3110 and UPS3210 will be fully calibrated and configured to the
requirements specified by the customer purchase order. However, there are several functions or operational
features that may be selected or altered by the operator during usage. These are controlled by the eight-position
DIP switch, S1, located on the CPU board as shown in Figure 2-7.
NOTE: To gain access to the CPU board see “Case Removal and Installation” on page 28.

Operation 9
2.4.1 APC4000/APC4001 Interface Option Enable
The APC4000 interface enable is activated only for models that are purchased and used with the PCM1000-1
controller or part of an APC4001 controller system. When UPS3000 or UPS3210 is used in conjunction with a
controller, Peak Hold, Freeze Mode or MIN/MAX Mode options are not available.
NOTE: UPS3110 is not used with a controller.
Approximately 1994 multi conversion software was added to UPS3000 models, therefore UPS3000 and PCM1000 units
made prior to this will not work with the ones manufactured after that date. Consult factory for information on upgrading
units.
2.4.2 Peak Hold or MAX/MIN Option Enable
See “Peak Hold Option” on page 54 or “Min and Max Mode Option” on page 55.
NOTE: * Absolute or Gage modes of operation are factory set, depending upon the style of transducer supplied and the
type of internal memory configuration utilized.
When the Absolute/Gage switching is not utilized; the front panel ABS/GAGE push-button switch will be
programmed to inactive and covered with a blank overlay.
When the PEAK HOLD Option or MAX/MIN option is supplied switching from Absolute to Gauge mode via
the front panel is possible and the Freeze Mode option, if supplied, is operable.
NOTE: When the PEAK HOLD or MAX/MIN option is supplied, the CONV button is no longer active or present on front
panel. Therefore, the required conversion must be set thru reconfiguration. See “Engineering Conversion with PEAK
HOLD or MAX/MIN Option” on page 12 for applicable method to change to required conversion.

2.4.3 Conversion Enable
As standard practice, the instruments are supplied with display indication in PSI (either Absolute, Gage or both)
and capable of being converted to a range of nine units via the front panel CONV push-button switch.
NOTE: When the PEAK HOLD or MAX/MIN option is supplied with a model having the ABS or GAGE mode, switch
selectable from front panel, the “CONV” button will be disabled and will not be present on the front panel. Therefore, the
required conversion must be set thru reconfiguration. See “Engineering Conversion with PEAK HOLD or MAX/MIN
Option” on page 12 for applicable method to change to required conversion.
2.4.4 Digital Averaging
Digital Averaging is a technique whereby numerous update cycles are averaged together before the numerical
display data is changed. In essence, this feature acts as a variable rate electronic filter to provide a more stable
pressure indication reading.The “AUTO” mode of this filter allows the display to update rapidly (12/sec.) when
the input pressure is being quickly changed and yet provides extremely stable display operation (3/sec.) when the
desired pressure input value has been obtained.
2.4.5 AUTO-ZERO Maintenance (AZM) Enable
The Automatic Zero Maintenance (AZM) feature is used to “hold” the indicator reading to a “zero” value as long
as the actual pressure input is maintained at zero. If the input pressure changes by more than one half a least
significant display digit between two consecutive display update cycles, the “hold” feature is automatically
disabled and the exact magnitude of pressure being exerted will be displayed. In some applications, it may be
better to operate the instrument without the AZM circuit enabled. If so, pressing the ZERO push-button switch,
with zero pressure applied to the instrument, will guarantee that each new pressure cycle begins at zero.
2.4.6 Automatic Span Maintenance (ASM) Enable
The Automatic Span Maintenance (ASM) circuit operates in conjunction with the front panel CAL push-button to
provide a Self-Check feature that insures long-term accuracy by utilizing the computer to generate and control an
internal “shunt calibration mode” of operation wherein the indicator reading obtained is compared against, and if
necessary, corrected to the digitally-stored value for the same shunt calibration reading obtained at the time of
initial pressure calibration.
