A. Visual Inspection of HPIC Unit
1. Check for damage to the overall unit
2. Check all components for damage
3. Check water inlet and outlet ports for
damaged/worn threads (clean out any debris)
4. Check analogue gauge for damage
5. Check digital gauge for damage
6. Turn on digital gauge and check
battery life (replace batteries if needed)
7. Zero the digital gauge now
B. Connecting HPIC Unit
1. Connect water supply to INLET of HPIC unit
(use PTFE tape to ensure a leak free seal)
2. Turn on water supply to flush the system until
water appears clean, then shut off water supply
3. Apply 2-3 wraps of PTFE tape to
NPT end of supplied adapter
4. Thread the adapter into the OUTLET of
HPIC unit until hand tight, then tighten with wrench
(depending on amount of wear on the threads,
more tightening may be required for a leak free seal)

5. Connect one end of green test hose to
the outlet of Calibration System
6. Connect the other end of green test
hose to the adapter on HPIC Unit
7. Tighten both ends of green test hose firmly
(these are standard “M” type hose fittings)
8. Turn on Calibration System gauge and zero
(verify HPIC Unit digital gauge is still at zero)
9. Fully back off Air Regulator on HPIC Unit (counter-clockwise)
10. Close Air Shut-off Valve on HPIC Unit (perpendicular to airline)
11. Connect air supply line to HPIC Unit
12. Slowly open Air Shut-off Valve on HPIC Unit
13. Check the air system for leaks

C. Bleeding the System
1. Open the Isolation Valve completely (counter-clockwise)
2. Open the Bleed Valve 1-2 full turns (counter-clockwise)
3. Run water through the system until no air appears
to be coming out of the bleed tube on HPIC Unit
(provide adequate container to catch bleed water)
4. Tightly close the Bleed Valve (clockwise)
5. Check for low pressure leaks in water system
6. NOTE: Both gauges should read street water pressure DO NOT ZERO ANY GAUGES AT THIS POINT
D. Digital Gauge Certification
1. Follow steps A-C then continue
2. SLOWLY increase system pressure using the
Air Pressure Regulator on the HPIC Unit
to about 2500 psi (the exact number is not critical)
3. Verify that the digital gauge in HPIC Unit
is within 25 psi of the Calibration System gauge
4. If the readings are within 25 psi, continue
(if the readings are more than 25 psi,
stop and move to instructions for Digital Gauge Calibration)
5. Continue increasing the pressure to about 5000,
7500 and 10000 psi, checking that the system pressure
readings are within 25 psi at each interval
6. If at any interval the readings are more than 25 psi,
stop and move to instructions for Digital Gauge Calibration
7. If gauge passes certification continue to directions for Disconnecting HPIC Unit
