PERFORMANCE
MicroCal PM200 Pressure Module is designed to be connected to standard MicroCal 200 or MicroCal 200+ realising a portable, compact, rugged and accurate multifunction calibration system (MicroCal PM200 System).
MicroCal PM 200 System The high accuracy Pressure Module is designed to operate together with standard MicroCal 200 calibrator extending the overall performances (see MicroCal 200 bulletin n. 08-44) to relative (gauge), absolute and differential pressure measurements and calibrations. The Microcal PM200 System represents the most advanced, powerful and versatile portable indicatorsimulator available on the market today for measurements and simulations of : millivolt volt milliampere (active and passive loop) ohm temperature with thermocouples temperature with resistance thermometers frequency pulse pressure
All most common pressure technical units are selectable through a simple keyboard procedure. The leather case contains both the Pressure module and the Signal calibrator and is extremely useful for a practical use since it allows to leave one hand free for instrument under test tuning. A standard 19 rack format is available on request for installation in laboratory calibration work station. Pressure Module and MicroCal 200 communicate through a dedicated digital port simplifying base calibration and service.
MicroCal PM200 Pressure Module The Pressure Module has been developed using a microcontroller technique to combine high flexibility of performances with a special procedure of calibration using computerised methods and storing into memory the relevant calibration data. The relative / differential pressure measurement uses a temperature compensated silicon piezoresistive transducer individually characterised for linearity and temperature coefficient. The individual sensor temperature/linearization matrix data are stored in a non-volatile EEPROM resident in the module. In order to make the calibration activity easy the PM200 System can be specified with an internal single or twin pressure transducer up to 20 bar and, as an option, with a built-in hand pressure pump, a volume adjuster for fine control, a ventilation valve for pressure release and a pressure port.

As it is important that the maximum pressure for the device under test is not exceeded, a safety LIMITS function may be selected to automatically block the pumping action at the desired set pressure. An external pressure transducer can be connected for pressure up to 700 bar. The case made in Alluminium, has the front panel extremely rugged if you install the 20 bar built-in hand pressure pump. The Pressure Module is powered by the Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries installed in the MicroCal 200.
MicroCal 200 Indicator-Simulator You can use your laboratory MicroCal 200 with an easy firmware upgrade from your Personal Computer and connecting the Pressure Module. Both pressure and electrical parameter readings are indicated on the high contrast graphic LCD display installed on MicroCal 200. The required pressure technical unit can be selected through a simplified procedure. The selection of the operative mode is made on the standard keyboard of the MicroCal 200 through dedicated menu-driven procedures.

GENERAL FEATURES
Input and output flexibility
An advanced flexibility of performance has been achieved using the microcontroller technique. Each instrument, through a menu-driven procedure, allows simultaneous measurement of pressure (gauge, absolute or differential) and of electric and thermoelectric signals according to MicroCal 200 multifunction a two channel multifunction calibrator. The microcontroller performs linearization and temperature compensation of the piezoresistive pressure sensor using the characterization data stored in the pressure module memory. The operative set-up mode is simplified by a sequence of menu pages that only require <Select> and <Enter> instructions. A full set of operators' notes are memory stored allowing a direct operator's assistance and instruction. Any relevant instruction may be recalled through the <Help> key. One or two pressure sensors can be installed inside the pressure module according to the customers requirements. Different ranges of external pressure sensors are also available to be connected directly with the MicroCal PM200 pressure module to extend the pressure range up to 700 bar. The pressure module can be equipped, on request, with a built-in pressure/vacuum pump from -0.8 to 20 bar complete with ventilation valve and volume adjuster. It is possible to display simultaneously the generated pressure value and the electrical input signals to achieve eg. the automatic inspection of pressure transmitters.
2.2
Firmware
The operating system firmware handles all logic instructions to the internal peripheral circuits, performs the direct communication with MicroCal 200 and controls the electropneumatic circuits. The application system firmware is resident on the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) of the microprocessor chip. It is used to store the installation parameters (auto-calibration data, program data, etc.).
2.3
External pressure sensors
A 12 pin connector, assembled on the left-side, is used to connect external sensors. It is possible to have a direct connection with one of the available (see table F par. 1.2) sensors for absolute, gauge or differential measurement. Using the same connector makes possible the connection with pre-linearized current (active and passive loop) and voltage output.
2.4

Power supply
The system is powered by a group of 4 rechargeable batteries installed inside the MicroCal 200 calibrator. The batteries are charged using an external power supply module. The pressure module is powered by MicroCal 200 internal rechargeable batteries through the 25 pin flat cable. The voltage (approximately 5 Vdc) is connected to the input of a switching circuit to generate the reference voltages for the pressure transducers, the analogic and digital circuits. The power supply circuit, is also configured as a voltage multiplier to generate a voltage of 24 Vdc for the final output stage operating both into active or passive loops. The above voltage levels are required to work with an external load up to 900 to supply the external current loop.

Microcontroller
______________________________________ 15 _______________________________________
_____________________________________
_____________________________________
The MicroCal PM200 system has 2 independent microprocessor systems. One, installed on the MicroCal 200 calibrator module, handles all the logic functions of the system, the communication with the pressure module, drives the digital keyboard and the display, performs the linearization for non linear electrical signals, compensates for the reference junction temperature and for the electrical input and output channels. The second one, installed in the pressure module, handles all the logic functions of the instrument, performs the linearization for pressure transducers, compensates for the reference junction temperature, drives the digital display and acknowledges all the operators instructions. The core of the circuit is a single-chip microcomputer that uses HCMOS technology to provide the low power characteristics and high noise immunity of CMOS plus the high speed operation of HMOS. The microprocessor includes a 2kbytes EEPROM memory (to maintain the sensor data linearization) and is interfaced with MicroCal 200 using a dedicated serial communication interface. A non-volatile memory is used to maintain the other data (the external sensor data linearization, the application firmware, the instrument setting data, ecc.).
4.3
Firmware
The operating system firmware handles all logic instructions to the internal peripheral circuits and performs the computation of the linearization equations. The application system firmware is resident on the non-volatile memory (EEPROM) of the microprocessor chip.
4.4
Built-in pressure transducers
MicroCal PM200 pressure module can have 1 or 2 piezoresistive pressure sensors with a built-in temperature sensor. The linearity and temperature compensation data are memory stored into EEPROM.
4.5
External pressure transducers
A 12 pin connector, on the left side of the module, is used to connect external sensors: MicroCal PM200 is able to connect external piezoresistive pressure sensors for absolute, gauge and differential measurements up to 700 bar. Sensors are full-characterised for linearity and temperature. They are supplied by Eurotron with a PC software to download the data matrix into EEPROM using the serial interface. An extended number of sensors are available by Eurotron to extend the pressure ranges of the MicroCal PM200 system. All sensors are supplied complete with 2 meters of cable and a 12 pin connector. MicroCal PM200 is able to use pre-linearized current (with active and passive loop) and voltage outputs connecting them to the auxiliary input.
4.6
Auxiliary V and mA input
The pressure module is designed with an auxiliary voltage and current input for general purpose: up to 22 mA active and passive current loop and voltage up to 30 Volt. Using the MicroCal PM200 sale factor function, it is possible to visualize the input signal with the desired scale and engineering unit.

Pneumatic assembly
The pneumatic Pressure module assembly, see the following figure, can be divided into two main blocks :
______________________________________ 16 _______________________________________
_____________________________________
_____________________________________
the first block includes input/output quick release connectors, one or two pressure sensors, the electrovalve used for pressure switching and to protect the system and the two overpressure valves ; the second pneumatic block includes the pressure / vacuum pump, the volume adjuster, the micrometric needle valve and the pressure/vacuum electronic switching unit.
The two pneumatic electrovalve are connected with Rilsan tubes to make the system compact and rugged.

NOTE : THE 2 AUTO-RESETTING OVERPRESSURE VALVES ARE USED TO PROTECT THE INTERNAL PRESSURE SENSORS. THEY ARE SET AT 125% OF THE SENSOR FULL SCALE. TO RESTORE THE VALVES IT IS NECESSARY TO EMPTY THE PRESSURE CIRCUIT.
4.8
Built-in hand pump
The pressure module can be supplied complete with an internal vacuum/pressure hand pump, a volume adjuster and a ventilation valve. The pump is piston type with a pressure/vacuum electronic switch to generate pressure from -0.8 bar to 20 bar. The pump has a brass body and a stainless steel stem. It doesnt need any maintenance operation but, if necessary, use only lubricating grease. Don't use condensing gases or any gas containing dust and particles. Don't use corrosive, oxidant or explosive gases. They could damage the valves and the pressure switch. When the pump is not used, leave the piston stem pushed-in to avoid any possible deformation of it. To reach a pressure higher than 15 bar it can be normal to make an effort using the pump. The pump is able to generate pressure up to 20 bar: pay attention using it in order to save the low pressure components connected.
4.9
Volume adjuster
______________________________________ 17 _______________________________________
_____________________________________
_____________________________________
The volume adjuster is used for a fine regulation of the pressure in the pneumatic test circuit. The regulator consists of a brass body interlocked with a fine threaded stainless steal stem for a stable and fine positioning of the piston connected to it. For a correct use, follow the same recommendation and maintenance instruction as the built-in hand pump.
4.10
Ventilation valve
The ventilation valve is used to discharge the gas from the pneumatic circuit proportionally. Remember to use it for slowly discharges to avoid possible damage to the sensors and to the pneumatic components connected to the testing circuit. If the MicroCal PM200 system is connected with external pressure sources, first disconnect the pressure module from the circuit; after this operation open the ventilation valve (the quick coupling connectors are auto-blocking type: they close the pneumatic circuit automatically).
4.11
Pressure inputs
Two quick coupling auto-blocking pressure connectors are assembled on the module front-panel: PORT1 (HP) and PORT2 (LP) connectors. They are stainless steel made and a complete connector kit is supplied with the module for connections with the test circuit. PORT1 pressure input is used to measure and to generate gauge or absolute pressure. PORT2 is used only as low pressure input for differential measurements.
4.12
Ventilation output
A quick coupling auto-blocking pressure connector, used for ventilation output, is assembled on the module left-side. It is stainless steel made. A connector complete with 3 meters of tube is supplied with the module to permit the gas outlet when the operator uses the ventilation valve, or when the secure valves are active.

MicroCal PM200 mA input channel can operate directly on active and passive loops. This means that the instrument has an internal power supply able to compensate for the voltage level present into the loop. If the internal power supply is connected to a short circuit or if the load requires more than 22 mA, a message Overrng will be displayed simultaneously with an acustic intermittance signal.
______________________________________ 21 _______________________________________
_____________________________________
_____________________________________
If the internal power supply is connected to a load higher than 900, a message "Overload" will be displayed and an acustic intermittance signal will set up the error condition. If the current or the voltage inputs measure a value higher than the limits, the message "Overrng" will be displayed. The internal power supply uses an electronic circuit to limit the maximum output current to 25 mA and a fuse, to preserve itself from external overvoltage and overcurrent.
Passive loop This type of connection is to be used when the external loop is not equipped with the loop power supplied. The calibrator can be, as an example, connected directly to a recorder, controller , etc. with input circuits configured for current measurements.
Active loop This type of connection must be used when the external loop is equipped with its loop power supplied. The power supply is not required to be disconnected. The loop circuit must be opened and Microcal PM200 connections are placed in series on the loop. The following figure shows some examples of input/output wiring of the instrument:

APPLICATIONS
The following paragraph shows test and calibration procedures for pneumatic components and instruments with test pressure lower than 20 bar. The considered MicroCal PM200 System configuration is fully-option: two internal pressure sensors, 20 bar pressure/vacuum hand pump builtin, volume adjuster and ventilation valve.
8.1
How to prepare the pneumatic circuit
There are two typical situations where PM200 module can be used: as a simple pressure/vacuum indicator or as a pressure/vacuum generator/indicator. Although it is very easy to prepare the pneumatic testing circuit, it needs all the same the operators care to warrant the calibrator and the testing components safety as well as the personels ones (see also cap. 11).
8.1.1
Connecting to a pressurized circuit
The following procedure shows the sequential operations to be used to set the test circuit ready and the operations to work MicroCal PM200 as a reference pressure indicator. 1. Connect the outlet gas tube to the ventilation output port on the left side of the module. The ventilation port is used to discharge the gas when the operator uses the vent. Valve or when the securing valve switch to the protection mode. The outlet tube must be connected in order to open the blocking valve. Open the ventilation valve to discharge the gas from the circuit. Reset the displayed measure using the zero function (see par. 7.11). Anyway, dont worry if you should happen to read an unstable zero value: it can be caused by external factors such as the pneumatic circuit length, the external temperature, etc. Lose the ventilation valve. Connect MicroCal PM200 to the test circuit with the Rilsan tube as short as possible. Use input PORT1 (HP) for gauge or absolute measurements or also the input PORT2 (LP) for differential measurements. Wait some minutes to stabilize the circuit pressure. The measurements finished, disconnect the quick couplig connector from the module and discharge the pressure slowly using the ventilation valve (avoid sudden pressure variations).

4. 5.
6. 7.
8.1.2
Using the built-in hand pump
If it is necessary to use MicroCal PM200 to generate and read pressure (up to 20 bar) in your test circuit, it is necessary to follow a different operating procedure: 1. Connect the outlet gas tube to the ventilation output port on the left side of the module. The ventilation port is used to discharge the gas when the operator uses the vent. Valve or when the securing valve switch to the protection mode. The outlet tube must be connected in order to open the blocking valve. Open the ventilation valve to discharge the gas from the circuit. Set the volume adjuster in the middle position. Build the pneumatic test circuit as short as possible; connect MicroCal PM200 pressure PORT1 (HP) to the circuit.

5.
Reset the displayed measure using the zero function (see par. 7.11). Anyway, dont worry if you should happen to read an unstable zero value: it can be caused by external factors such as the pneumatic circuit length, the external temperature, etc. 6. Close the ventilation valve. 7. Use Vac On/Off to select the pressure/vacuum pump mode. 8. Use the built-in hand pump to get as near as possible to the desired pressure circuit value. Remember that the pump can generate pressure up to 20 bar; therefore take care if it is used with low pressure components. 9. Use the volume adjuster for a fine regulation of the pressure in the circuit. 10. Wait some minutes to stabilize the circuit pressure. 11. The measurements finished, disconnect the quick coupling connector from the module and discharge the pressure slowly using the ventilation valve (avoid sudden pressure variations).
8.2
How to verify a pressure Trx
This paragraph shows a typical application: the verification of pressure to current Trx. As described in par. 7.1, the calibrator is able to display simultaneously two of the three I/O channels: pressure input (InP), signal input (IN) and signal output (OUT). Two different areas on the display are used to visualize the measured values and the respective channel pieces of information: the lower slot display and the upper slot display.

When you switch the instrument on, it loads the last programmed configuration; the displayed channel cant be the desired one. To display the pressure input channel on the lower slot display, if the signal channels are visualised, proceed as it follows: 1. Press the <IN-OUT> key to select the signal output channel (the two arrows indicate the selected slot). 2. Press the < > key to scroll the pressure channel with the output channel. If the < > keys (see par. 7.3). > key is programmed in the swapping mode, use the <Shift> + <
If the system has the 2 bar and the 20 bar full scale internal sensors installed, it is possible activate the autorange function as described in par. 7.5. The ARN message will confirm the operating mode and consequently the system will choose the right sensor for the applied pressure. We suppose now to verify a 100.0/+100.0 mbar pressure Trx with a 4/20 mA two wire output. Connect the Trx pressure input to the module PORT1. Connect the Trx current output to the input terminals of the calibrator as shown in the following figure:

MAINTENANCE
The MicroCal PM200 portable calibrator system has been factory tested and calibrated before shipment. The calibration should be verified and re-adjusted if the instrument shows an error exceeding the declared specifications or when a critical active or passive component is replaced (either at component level or at board level) Eurotron will supply, on request, a technical reference manual, with all instructions and recommendations for service and calibration. Eurotron engineers will give prompt support for any assistance request .
11.1
Faulty operating conditions
During the start up, measuring and simulation modes, faulty conditions of the instrument will be announced, with coded messages. All errors which cannot be recovered without the user's knowledge, result in some system action to inform the operator via a message, and where possible the system is restored. Errors are classified thanks to the method by which they are handled. Recoverable errors report the error and then continue. System errors which cannot be recovered cause the system to halt with a message displayed. Restarting the instrument from -Power ON- may clear the error, but generally such messages are caused by hardware or software faults, which require the users action. After the start up diagnostic routine the presence of a fault in the system will be announced as it follows: "Overrange" Indicates an input signal higher than the acceptable level. Indicates an output signal setting higher than the acceptable level. Indicates a negative input signal lower than the acceptable one. Indicates an output negative signal setting lower than the acceptable limit. Possible error during scale factor computation Indicates "overflow" conditions Indicates "underflow" conditions Indicates that Max, Min or Med values are meaningless. This error number indicates that the measured circuit has been temporary halted. Indicates that the internal autozero is out of range. Indicates that the external load is too low during the current loop measurement. Indicates that the pressure module is not connected.
"Underrange"
"Calc.err." "Overflw" "Underflw" "******" (measure wait)
"Zero err" "PS Fail"
"No modul"
______________________________________ 56 _______________________________________
_____________________________________
_____________________________________
"No avail"
The operator is trying to use a sensor without the linearization table loaded into the memory of the pressure module. Indicates that the pressure module does not communicate with the calibrator module correctly. Indicates that the pressure sensor is not active.
"Com. err"
"No activ"
"T (high)","T (low)" Indicates that the sensor temperature exceeds the compensation limits. "PH fail" Indicates that the PH sensor could be damaged and, for this reason, it is not possible switching to the PL sensor. Indicates that the automatic PL protection is activated.
"PL prot"
11.2
Protections
An intermittence sound signals to the operator that the pressure is near to the acceptable limits of the internal sensors in the pressure module. Same protection are operators disable and the following paragraph shows the three type of protections.
11.2.1
Logical protections
The following logical protections are activate when the instrument is switched on and the operator, if it is necessary, can disactivate them (see par. 7.10). PL sensor automatic protection (PL prot.): Absolute and gauge measurements : When the PL sensor measure a 105% f.s. pressure value, the system disconnect the sensor input from the test circuit. If the autorange function is not active, an "Overrng" message will appear on the display. If the PH sensor is installed, it measure the pressure circuit value anyway. When the actual pressure, measured with the PH sensor, returns inside the PL limits, the system reconnects the PL to the pneumatic circuit. If an inconsistance between the PL and the PH measurement happens (eg. a PH sensor damage), a "PL prot" error message will appear. Instead, if the autorange function is active, the system switch automatically to PH measurements. Differential measurements : When the PL sensor measure a 105% f.s. pressure value, the system open the electrovalve to discharge the pressure from the test circuit to protect the sensor.
Testing components protection: Pressure generator: If the built-in hand pump is installed, the Pressure Module is able to activate an automatic safety function for automatically block the pumping action at the desired set pressure. This function is useful to preserve the pressure transducer to be calibrated from overpressure.
The following table shows the possible protection and the activating order in the different using condition: Sensor Autorange PL Generation Buzzer, change sensor, pump blocking, secure valve Buzzer, PL prot., pump blocking, Measure Buzzer, change sensor, secure valve Buzzer, PL prot., secure valve

11.2.2
Electronic protections
The system is protected from electrical damages by self limiting circuits and fuse as it follows : For MicroCal 200 and MicroCal 200+ protections please refer to MicroCal 200 instruction manual (cod. MM850216). Some auto-safe fuses, to protect the module from short circuit damages (current loop power supply) and from overcurrent (mA input channel), are inserted into the pressure module . The 24 Vdc power supply is protected by a self limiting circuit to prevent an output current higher than 25 mA.
11.2.3
Pneumatic protections
The system is protected against overpressure damages as it follows : Two overpressure valves are programmed in factory to preserve the sensors. The valves are set to became active at 125% of the sensor full scale. It is possible to restore the valves discharging the circuit to atmospheric pressure.
11.3
Recommendations
11.3.1
General recommendations
The total volume of the test circuit must be necessarily kept as small as possible ; as a consequence also small variations of the circuit volume bring about immediate in pressure variations. Ideally, the parts of the pneumatic circuit shouldn't modify their volume when a variation of the temperature or of the pressure occur. Otherwise, continuous adjustments will be necessary. The most critical component of the test circuit is the PVC flexible pipe that, if not carefully selected, may undergo great volume variations for its intrinsic elastic property. It is advisable to use PVC flexible pipes with thick-wall (6x4mm) or Rilsan rigid pipes with 6x2mm wall to prevent the above listed problems. The same flexible pipe must be used for what is left of the pneumatic circuit. Don't use low cost or thinwall PVC or plastic pipes . If you don't consider the above recommendations, you should take into consideration volume variations in the circuit and the consequent necessity of pressure adjustment to keep it at the desired valve.
11.3.2

Safety recommendations
Do NOT use liquid. Use only air or non-reducing and non-oxidant gases as pressure media. Different fluids could serious damage the pneumatic components and the internal sensors. Do NOT use explosive gases. Use ONLY the auto blocking conectors to open the pressurised circuit. Insert the fluid outlet tube in the "Ventilation Output" connector on the pressure module ; otherwise the secure valves and the fluid outlet will not be active. Pay attention using the sysstem with pressure value higher than 10 bar. Breaked pipes, disconnected pressure connectors can produce injuries to the personnel. Make test circuit as short
______________________________________ 58 _______________________________________

as possible and use only adequate materials. If it is used an external pressure sensor, install it directly into the plant. Do NOT use extension pipes. Don't apply a pressure higher than 125% full scale to the calibrator. If an excessive pressure, higher than the stated one, is applied, personnel may receive injuries that could, in extreme circumstances be lethal. Furthermore, possible serious damages can occur to the instrument, the users system and equipment. The pressure module is protected through safety valves from overpressure. It is possible to restore the valves discharging the circuit to atmospheric pressure. Their action do not exclude absolutely possible damage of the module and its components. The internal hand pump is able to generate pressure up to 20 bar without considering the external components connected to it: take care using it.
11.5
Storage
If the instrument has been left unused for a long time, it is recommended to remove its batteries. Store the instrument in the original package, at a temperature from -30C to +60C, with R.H. less than 90%. If the instrument has been unused for a month check the battery voltage, and charge Ni-Cd batteries for at least 4 hours.
