configuration and selection of values of the parameters of the
instruments. The manufacturer warns against the risk of incidents with
injuries to both persons and property, resulting from the incorrect use of
the instrument.
Use the instrument only according to this technical
manual. Any operation not described here is not allowed.
WARNING!
Do not apply pressure above 130% of full scale of the control range (for
the range of 3000 psi, do not apply pressure above 110% of full scale
control range).
WARNING!
Be careful with the pressure connections. High pressures with a large
volume can cause damage to both persons and property.
Apply to the positive supply port pressure between 110% and 130% of
the full scale of the control module (for the 3000 psi range, the positive
pressure supply should be between 104% and 110%).
The pressure supply must be pneumatic, dry and clean air, nitrogen or
inert gases.
WARNING!
When a vacuum pump is attached to the negative supply port of the
pressure control module, it is strongly recommended to use a protection
valve to atmosphere in the vacuum pump. When controlling from a high
pressure to a low pressure the gas is exhausted through
the negative
supply port and can cause damage to the vacuum pump. Before going to
a low pressure, it is recommended to make a VENT operation.
WARNING!
Other pressure equipments and accessories (such as hose, reservoirs,
protection devices) connected to the calibrator must be appropriate to the
working pressure.
WARNING!
During startup, do not connect any instrument to the output port of the
Pressure Control Module. Before making

PRESYS Instruments PCON-Y17
WARNING!
The calibrator discharges gas to the atmosphere through the supply (-)
and vent ports. Leave these ports free.
The calibrator may produce high sound levels when discharging gas. Use
a muffling device at the vent port.
WARNING!
Before connecting the instrument under test to the output port, make a
VENT operation to discharge any gas inside the controller and go to
MEASURE mode. Before turning the calibrator off, it is recommended to
vent the gas inside the controller.
WARNING!
Before connecting the instrument under test to the output port it is
recommended to configure the output range parameters. These
parameters limit the controller output ran
ge, in order to protect the
instrument under test.
WARNING!
Avoid electric shock risk when touching the equipment. Use only suitable
power cable with earth connection and never power up the equipment to
the mains socket without an earth connection.
WARNING!
High voltage is present inside these equipments. It can cause great
damages and injuries. Do not make any repair service inside the
equipment without removing the plug from the supply.
NOTICE!
High level of electromagnetic noise can cause instability to the
equipment. The equipment is provided with electromagnetic interference
filters that protect not only the mains but also the equipment itself against
noise. These filters have no function if the unit is not earthed properly.
IMPORTANT!
All pressure equipment and accessories (such as hoses, connections,
adapters, etc.) connected to the calibrator must be clean, free of residues
such as oil, dirt, dust etc. These residues can cause irreversible damage
to the internal system of the pressure control module. It is mandatory to
use filters in both the pressure feed (SUPPLY (+)/ SUPPLY(-)
) and out
(OUT).
CAUTION: Damage caused by failure to observe the above recommendations
results in total or partial loss of the equipment warranty.

1 - Introduction
1.1. General Description
The PCON-Y17 Pressure Controller enables the control of pneumatic pressure
up to 3000 psi (210 bar), including gauge and absolute pressure (optional barometric
reference). Provides all features required for easier calibration and adjustment services
on process instruments such as pressure transmitters, pressure switches, and
manometers. It has a high level of accuracy, including aspects relating to changes in
room temperature, and it maintains the specifications over long periods of time.
Besides providing high accuracy pressure values, it also allows the measurement
of signals generated by the instrument under test which is being calibrated. This is
possible due to an embedded calibrator specific for these types of signal, including
current 4-20 mA. Thus, PCON-Y17 incorporates the functions of pressure controller,
digital pressure standard and calibrator for mA, V, mV, Ohms and RTD.
It is also a Hart®Communicator (optional) with a configurable internal
resistance, transmitter power supply and latest DD as optional, in order to easily
configure and calibrate Hart®pressure transmitters.
A highly visible 5.7” touchscreen display allows easy configuration and user-
friendly operation.
PCON-Y17 features full advanced documenting capabilities. It enables the
creation and execution of automatic calibration procedures (Tasks). After completing a
task, a Calibration Report is issued and it can be printed directly on a USB connected
printer or a PDF document can be generated.
Communication with the computer through SCPI commands for on-line data
acquisition and control of the calibrator.

The Pressure Control Module has three operation modes: MEASURE, VENT and
CONTROL (see sections 2.1.2,2.1.3 and 2.1.4). To select an operation mode, press one
of the buttons indicated below. The current state is indicated by the symbol.
Fig. 06- Pressure Control Module - Operation Modes
2.1.1. Pressure Control Module –Connections
PCON-Y17-DT controls the pressure in the output port with high precision and
stability. To control the pressure, a pressure between 110% and 130% of the full range of
the control range is applied to the SUPPLY (+) power port, except for the 3,000 psi range
which has a reduced range of 104% to 110% of the full scale. The pressure supply must
be pneumatic, dry and clean air, nitrogen or inert gases.
If it is not possible to supply the PCON-Y17 with a pressure between 110% and
130% of the full range of the control range (and between 104% and 110% FS for the
range of 3,000 psi), a lower supply pressure may be used, but the instrument control
range will also be reduced. The PCON-Y17 measures the supply pressure and
automatically sets its control parameters for better performance. If the pressure is not
sufficient, a warning is displayed on the screen.
The presence of water, oil or particles in the pressure control module can cause
irreparable damage to the system. Equipment and connections must be clean and dry
when connected to both pressure supply and output. The use of impurities filters is
necessary to protect the system. The use of 10 micron (m) filters is recommended.

- For the DT version, all pneumatic connections are located on the rear panel of the PCON-Y17-DT.
- For the RM version, the pneumatic connections VENT, SUPPLY (+) and SUPPLY (-) are located on the
rear panel, pneumatic connections OUT and REF are located on the front panel of the PCON-Y17-RM.
Fig. 07- Pressure Control Module
If you do not need to control negative pressure, connect to the supply (-) port a
muffling device to reduce the sound levels.
To use the PCON-Y17 with negative supply (vacuum), remove the damper (air
diffuser) from the SUPPLY (-) port and connect the PCON-Y17 vacuum kit and the
vacuum pump (see Fig. 08). The negative supply does not need to be regulated. It is
recommended that the vacuum pump has less than 70 mbar absolute (-13.5 psig)
output.
When installing a vacuum feed, the pump must be protected against positive
pressure discharge by the controller, which may damage and/or reduce the performance
of the vacuum pump. This occurs in set point changes since the PCON-Y17 releases
positive pressure from the system to the atmosphere through the SUPPLY (-) port.
presys

PRESYS Instruments PCON-Y17
Page 11
The reservoir volume of the vacuum kit slows down and attenuates any sudden
increase in positive pressure, thereby protecting the output of the vacuum pump.
Fig. 08–Connections for Vacuum
Precautions must be taken to prevent the transfer of oil from the vacuum pump to
the PCON-Y17. Before turning off the vacuum pump supply, it is recommended to
disconnect the hose that connects the vacuum pump to the reservoir, allowing
atmospheric pressure to enter directly into the pump and not through the instrument.
Without this procedure, the oil present in the vacuum pump can progressively rise to the
PCON-Y17 through the hose.
