Maintenance & Cleaning
The SciPres II Pressure Monitor is maintenance free. The single-use sensors come pre-calibrated
from the factory and require no maintenance.
To remove dust, dirt and stains, the outer surfaces of the SciPres II
may be wiped using a soft, non-
fluffing cloth moistened with water. If required, you may also use a mild detergent or 2-propanol.
The single-use sensors may be sanitized with 0.1 Molar NaOH, or isopropyl alcohol. They may be
autoclaved once or may be gamma irradiated.

Part A: SciPres II
™
Hardware Overview
The SciPres II
consists of two major components, the SciPres II Pressure Monitor, with its power
supply, and the SciPres II
Single-Use Sensors and cables.
The Monitor is a small desktop package with a backlit display and seven buttons for easy interface
and menu selections. It displays pressure for up to 3 sensors in real time, along with one of two
calculated pressures if desired, digital format. The monitor’s output is also available in digital and
analog formats, RS-232 and 4-20 mA. It comes with a small 100-240 VAC wall adapter as a power
supply.
The monitor reads and utilizes calibration data from SciPres II sensors that have been calibrated to
two points, 0 and 30 psi. It has also been equipped with a Supervisor Password, a Max Pressure
Watchdog, and a Noise Filter setting.
The “Max Pressure Watchdog” feature records in the sensor’s memory the maximum pressure seen
by the sensor while it is connected to the SciPres II Monitor. This value is displayed for a few
seconds along with the Sensor ID and calibration information when the Monitor is powered up
after a sensor is connected.
Caution: The maximum recommended pressure for the sensors is 60 psi.
If this is exceeded, problems with leakage and functionality can occur.
A Filter setting is used to average the pressure signals when peristaltic pump heads are used. This
makes the display readings easier to interpret, and produces cleaner graphs that are easier to read.
At the lowest setting, the data is “live”, and at the highest, it is averaged over a four second period.
The SciPres pressure sensors utilize a silicone piezoresistive sensing element in a polysulfone tube
available in five sizes: Luer, 3/8" or 1/2" Barb, 3/4" and 1" ‘Ladish’ Sanitary TC connections.
All sensors are pre-calibrated at the factory, and retain the calibration data on a small chip
embedded in the sensor body. The following information is retained and is accessed upon
connection to the sensor:
 ID number (Contains Size, Index, Unique Identifier, and Calibration date)
 Calibration Factor
 Pressure Zero Offset
 Max Pressure Value

14
Front Panel: Data Entry & Display
The front panel consists of a user interface, which includes an alphanumeric display and a
membrane keypad to select operational modes and alarm settings. The display is a two-line, 20-
character, liquid crystal display (LCD). The display is backlit to allow easy viewing over a wide range
of lighting conditions.
The keypad consists of seven keys whose function does not change. These keys are used for basic
control and programming of the SciPres II. The basic key definitions are:
MENU Allows entry into the parameter settings menu.
ENTER Accepts the selected parameter setting.
EXIT Exits the menu, returning to the main operational screen.
SENSOR Recaptures the factory calibration settings stored on the sensor.
ON/STBY Turns the monitor on and off.
  Up and Down arrows used to change parameters within the menus.
One LED is also on the front panel, on the ON/STBY key. This indicates the monitor is
connected to power.

15
Back Panel: Interface Options
The SciPres II back panel provides interfacing ports for:
Sensor P1, P2 and P3: Connect Single-Use SciPres II Sensors here with the provided cables.
Output: Female DB25, Provides two 4-20 mA analog outputs, (18-bit resolution) for Pressure,
and TTL outputs for the 4 alarms, Hi/Low P1, P2, P3 and TM or DP. TTL outputs provide a 5
VDC control signal, carry minimal current. (See Pin out on next page.)
Printer/PC Port: RS-232 output, Female DB9. The printer PN or PC can be connected to the
SciPres II via this port.
A printer cable (P/N 080-096) is required to make the connection between the printer and the
SciPres II, or a Parker RS-232 to USB adapter cable (P/N 080-USB) to connect the SciPres II to a
PC for data archival.
Serial I/O: Female DB9, Reserved for future use.
USB: RS-232 output identical to Printer / PC port. A standard A/B USB cable is used with this
port. If needed, one may be purchased from Parker, PN 090-158.
12 VDC/500 mA: Input power: Round connector for AC power supply.

16
Pin Out of the DB25 female “Output” connector:
For 4-20 ma output of Pressure at P1 (Analog 1), use pins 2 (4-20 -) and 14 (4-20 +). If excitation is
needed in the loop, connect pin 1 (Vpwr) to pin 14 (4-20 +), and connect the output (signal) cable
to pin 2 (4-20 -) and pin 15 (Gnd).
For 4-20 ma output of Pressure at P2 (Analog 2), use pins 4 (4-20 -) and 16 (4-20 +). If excitation is
needed in the loop, connect pin 3 (Vpwr) to pin 16 (4-20 +), and connect the output (signal) cable
to pin 4 (4-20 -) and pin 17 (Gnd).
For 4-20 ma output of Pressure at P3 (Analog 3), use pins 6 (4-20 -) and 18 (4-20 +). If excitation
is needed in the loop, connect pin 5 (Vpwr) to pin 18 (4-20 +), and connect the output cable to pin
6 (4-20 -) and pin 19 (Gnd).
For 4-20 ma output of Pressure at TM or DP (Analog 4), use pins 8 (4-20 -) and 20 (4-20 +). If
excitation is needed in the loop, connect pin 7 (Vpwr) to pin 20 (4-20 +), and connect the output
cable to pin 8 (4-20 -) and pin 21(Gnd).

17
The use of an end-user supplied analog loop power source is presented below:
TTL Outputs:
Hi / Low P1 Alarm: TTL 1 Pins 11 (Out0) and 13 (Gnd)
Hi / Low P2 Alarm: TTL 2 Pins 24 (Out1) and 13 (Gnd)
Hi / Low P3 Alarm: TTL 3 Pins 12 (Out2) and 13 (Gnd)
Hi / Low TM Alarm: TTL 4 Pins 25 (Out3) and 13 (Gnd)
TTL outputs are either 0 or 5 VDC, and carry minimal current. They are for TTL inputs on a PLC, or
control of a 5 VDC solid state electronic relay.

Part B: SciPres II Software Overview
The SciPres II pressure monitor digitally displays inputs from up to three SciPres II pressure sensors
simultaneously, while also calculating and displaying either trans-membrane or differential pressure.
It has also been equipped with a “Supervisor Password”, a “Max Pressure Watchdog”, and a
“Filter” setting.
The “Max Pressure Watchdog” feature records in the sensor’s memory the maximum pressure
seen by the sensor while it is connected to the SciPres II monitor. The maximum recommended
pressure for the sensors is 60 psi (4.14 bar). If this is exceeded, problems with leakage and
functionality can occur. This value is displayed for a few seconds along with the Sensor ID and Cal
information when the monitor is powered up and a sensor connected.
The “Filter” setting is used to average the pressure signals when peristaltic pump heads are used.
This increases the sensor precision as well as accuracy and makes the display readings easier to
interpret when compared to ever changing values caused by pulsation. Thus, it produces cleaner
graphs that are easier to read. At the lowest setting, the data is ‘live’, and at the highest, it is
averaged over a 4 second period. Please refer to the graph in section 4.0.
The “Supervisor Password” is a number between 1 and 9999 that must be entered to access the
Menu and its settings. Setting the password to 0 disables it.
The “Main Menu” allows you to change the pressure units, (psi, kPa, bar, mmHg are available) the
high and low analog range settings, adjust the baud rate and print time, change the mode between
trans-membrane, differential and none, adjust the “Filter” setting, as well as configure user-defined
hi / low pressure alarms for all four displayed values.
