Description
Overview
The CPC3000 has a compact, light weight design, a reliable
high speed pressure regulator, gauge / absolute / bi-directional
ranges and an optional barometric reference for emulation.These
qualities make the CPC3000 suitable for a variety of applications.
Applications
With an uncertainty of 0.025% FS and a high speed regulator,
the CPC3000 is well suited for use in the production of pressure
sensors, transmitters, transducers, and pressure switches or as
a working standard for the control and calibration of all types of
pressure gauges.
Functionality
A color touch-screen, combined with user-friendly menus, guaran-
tees high productivity in a calibration lab or production facility; all
screens can be viewed in several dierent languages.
To enter the pressure setpoint, the operator can choose between
four input modes which can be selected using the corresponding
tab. The input modes are:
1. The numeric key menu provides a way to enter a specic
pressure set point value to be controlled.
2. The step keypad menu provides dened steps programmed
in pressure increments or percent of a user dened span to
move the pressure setpoint across the range of the instru-
ment under test.
3. The jog key menu provides a way for the operator to dene
small pressure steps up or down to reach a cardinal point on
a dial gauge. The jog buttons increment the least signicant
digit by 1, 10 or 100 counts.
4. The user dened Jog menu provides a way for the operator
to dene any step within the span to increase or decrease
the setpoint.
Software
Customers can create their own test programs using the Mensor
communication command set, the SCPI command set or the
emulation command set used when replacing other calibrators.
Complete testing and calibration systems
Communication with other instruments is made easy with an
IEEE-488.2, an Ethernet and a USB interface. The CPC3000
can be integrated into an existing system, or our Custom Systems
group can design a system to meet a specic need.

Touch screen operation
Main screen
The CPC3000 main operation screen appears after powering up the unit. This screen contains all of the controls needed to
navigate within the menus and to operate the instrument. The setup icon button opens up a menu that provides navigation to all
the set up screens, limits indication, tab selectable input menu, set point display and selection, pressure value indication, pressure
units indication and selection and measure / control / vent mode selection.
MEASURE
Measure mode pneumatically connects
the pressure sensor directly to the device
under test. In measure mode pressure
regulation is inactive.
CONTROL
In the control mode, the device
regulates the pressure output
according to the set point value,
providing a precise pressure at
the test port.
VENT
Vent mode vents the system and the
device under test to atmospheric
pressure.

The jog keypad
Application: Fine adjustment of the pressure value to reach a cardinal value on a pressure gauge or similar device under test.
The step keypad
Application: Calibration of incremental user dened pressure points or percent of full span of the device under test.
The pressure set point can be changed using one of three input modes
The numeric keypad
Application: Direct input of set point value.
Operation
The desired pressure set point value is entered using the numeric
keypad and then acknowledged by pressing the check mark key.
In control mode the controller will regulate the output pressure to
the entered value.
Operation
Each step on the step keypad can indicate user dened pressure
values or percent of span values for the device under test. For
example: the step keypad shown to the left is set for 10% steps
going from 0% to 100%. These steps are a percent of the user
dened device under test full span. In control mode, when a step
is touched, the controller will regulate the output to the associ-
ated set point.
Operation
The triangles on the Jog keypad have values which correspond
to the 3 last digits of the pressure reading and are used to incre-
ment the set point. Triangles pointing up will increase the value
and those pointing down will decrease it. The smallest triangle
increments the least signicant digit by one, the medium size
triangle increments the least signicant digit by ten and The large
triangle increments the least signicant digit by one hundred. The
values will change accordingly if the resolution of the indication
is changed.

Communications
Page 7 of 8
The variety of communications modes and command sets make the CPC3000 a good choice to replace older pressure controllers
that communicate remotely via IEEE-488.The Mensor command set will integrate seamlessly with other Mensor controllers and the
SCPI command set provides integration in areas where the SCPI command structure has been used.The CPC3000 even understands
commands and automation programs that have been written previously for non-Mensor / non-WIKA controllers. Within the setup
menu, under the remote tab, communication emulation selections are available to switch between the various command structures.
In addition to IEEE-488, the CPC3000 has Ethernet and USB communications making it remotely accessible to today’s modern
automation systems. Trouble shooting the initial remote setup is made easy by viewing the remote monitor which displays the most
recent commands sent and responses from the CPC3000 plus any error messages.
Options and accessories
Barometric reference
An optional barometric reference is available for emulation of gauge pressure when the internal sensor is absolute and emulation
of absolute pressure when the internal sensor is gauge. The internal gauge sensors must include a negative gauge range of one
atmosphere in order to be able to emulate sub atmospheric absolute pressures.
Rack mount kit
A 19” x 3U rack mounted tray is available.
