2. Safety Notices
2.1 Warnings and Caution Notices
Warning
!WARNING: NOT EXPLOSION PROOF! Installation of this instrument
in an area requiring devices rated as intrinsically safe is not recom-
mended.
!
Caution
CAUTION: Some ranges require clean, non-corrosive pressure
media. See “Media Compatibility” in Section 4, Specifications. This
instrument is not designed for oxygen use.
!
Caution
CAUTION: Avoid excessive overpressure to the sensor! Externally
mounted relief valves to provide overpressure protection are avail-
able from Mensor as optional devices, and are highly recommended
for very low pressure sensors (less than 10 psi).
!
Caution
CAUTION: It is recommended that a backup wrench be used when
installing fittings or connections on the CPG2300.
!
Caution
CAUTION: Use of a power supply other than the one provided by
Mensor will invalidate the warranty.
CAUTION: ESD PROTECTION REQUIRED. The proper use of ground-
ed work surfaces and personal wrist straps are required when
coming into contact with exposed circuits (printed circuit boards) to
prevent static discharge to sensitive electronic components.

3. Product Description
3.1 General Description
The CPG2300 Digital Pressure Gauge is a portable battery powered instrument that
provides very high accuracy pressure measurements. This instrument utilizes very high
stability silicon sensors that are electronically compensated for pressure linearity over
the entire operating temperature range. The CPG2300 also has a standard RS-232
serial port that can be used for remote communications.
Different models are available including the Model 2310 (single channel) and the Model
2320 (dual channel). These channels are referred to as Channel A and Channel B, and
can operate independent of each other. Viewed from the front, Channel A is the sensor
on the top left of the instrument and can be ordered with any available pressure range
(see the Specifications section). Channel B is the sensor on the top right of the instru-
ment and can be ordered with pressure ranges from 3 to 1000 psig (7.5 to 1000 psia).
Additionally, the CPG2300 can be equipped with optional current measurement from 4
to 20 mA and a 24V dc loop power. See the Options section for more information.
3.2 Display
Several different display screens are presented while operating the CPG2300. Each
screen is arranged into blocks of information, generally organized into columns and
rows. These screens are each described in further detail in the Local Operation and
Remote Operation sections.
3.3 Power Supply
The power adapter is utilized to provide power to operate the CPG2300 and also to re-
charge the internal batteries. It produces 12 Vdc @ 830 mA max.
3.4 Battery
The CPG2300 has an internal battery pack consisting of four ‘AA’ nickel-metal hydride
batteries. The battery pack is replaceable and can be ordered from Mensor.
In pressure measurement mode the CPG2300 will operate approximately 20 hours on a
fully charged new battery. There is a battery level indicator on the display that indicates
the battery charge level. The battery level indicator will blink when there is approximate-
ly one hour of battery left. The unit will automatically shut off when the battery reaches a
predetermined level.

10 Operating Instructions CPG2300 Series
Portable Digital Pressure Gauge
CPG2300 Series
Battery Charging: The CPG2300 has a built-in battery charger that will take approxi-
mately 8 hours with an input supply of 12VDC to fully recharge a battery. The built-in
charger will switch from fast charge to maintenance mode automatically when a full
charge is achieved. It is acceptable to leave the wall transformer connected to AC
power indefinitely.
Charge Voltage vs. Temperature: The battery can be charged over an ambient
temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees C with a supply voltage of 9 to 12 VDC.
3.5 Serial In/Out Communications
The serial port is configured as RS-232, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
It is designed as a 9-pin DCE device, so that a straight pin to pin cable can be used to
connect it to a standard PC serial port. The serial port can be used to configure and
calibrate the CPG2300 or to read the output of its sensors.
Wiring requirements are provided in the Installation section and a list of valid commands
and responses (Table 7.2.3) is provided in the Remote Operation section.

5.3 Pressure Connections
The left 1/4 inch FNPT threaded port is used to measure the pressure on Channel A of
the CPG2300. If the sensor range is less than 20 psi and is a gauge or bi-directional
sensor, there will also be a 1/16 inch hose barb fitting beside the pressure port. The
barb fitting provides access to the reference port of the sensor.
If the CPG2300 has a second pressure sensor installed, it will have a second 1/4 inch
FNPT threaded port on the right to measure the pressure on Channel B. If its range is
less than 20 psi and it is a gauge sensor, a barb fitting provides access to the reference
port of the sensor.

Caution
CAUTION: Avoid excessive overpressure to the sensor! Externally
mounted relief valves to provide overpressure protection are avail-
able from Mensor as optional devices, and are highly recommended
for very low pressure sensors (less than 10 psi).

The current condition of the peak indicator is displayed.
If the menu item displays “Peak Off”, the peak indicator
is disabled for the active sensor. If “Peak Off” is
selected, it will enable peak capture for the active
sensor. If the Sensor Setup menu is re-entered, the
menu item will display “Peak On” to indicate that the
peak capture function is enabled.
Peak readings are displayed only when a single channel is selected.

A Setup
Peak Off Peak Rst
Null On Cal
Units
The current state of the null function is displayed. If
the menu item displays “Null Off”, the null function is
disabled for the active sensor. If “Null Off” is selected,
the CPG2300 will subtract the current measured
pressure from any subsequent pressure readings. Unlike
the Peak function, the Null function can be displayed on
the main operation screen with both sensors pressures
displayed. A capital “N” appears just above the “A” or
“B” on the main operation screen to indicate that the
sensor channel is currently using a null offset.
Single button null: The null feature can also be accessed by pressing the ♦(enter) key
while at the standard Display. When both channels are displayed, pressing the null
button once will null channel A. Pressing the null button a second time will null channel
B. Pressing the null button a third time will un-null channel A and a fourth press will un-
null channel B. When a single channel is displayed the null button will toggle nulling on
or off. The instrument will revert to the un-nulled state if power is cycled.
1. Peak and Null functions can be used simultaneously.
2. Pressure units must not be changed when using the null feature.
