Calibration
DPG2000B D4, M0, M1 Series
User Pass Code
User-defined pass code configuration allows changing of the
factory 3510 pass code to new value for configuration and
calibration.
Configuration must only be done in a non-hazardous area.
Remove the rear 6 Phillips screws and remove the rear cover.
Move the switch on the circuit board to the ENABLE position.
Located the internal UP and DOWN buttons on the circuit board.
View Or Change User Configuration Pass Code
With the unit off, press and hold the UP button, then press the
front button. Release all buttons when the display indicates
CFG
.
View Or Change User Calibration Pass Code
With the unit off, press and hold the DOWN button, then press
the front button. Release all buttons when
CAL
is shown.
Enter Access Code 1220
Before the unit enters the view or change pass code mode,
the display initially indicates _ _ _ _ with the first underscore
blinking, and with
CFGPC
or
CALPC
on the lower display.
Note: The gauge will automatically revert to normal operation if
no buttons are operated for approximately 15 seconds.
To cancel and return to normal operation, press and release
the front button without entering any pass code characters.
Use the UP, DOWN, and front buttons to enter the 1220 pass
code.
Press and release the front button to proceed.
Note: If an incorrect access code was entered, the gauge will
return to the start of the access code entry sequence.
Once the access code has been entered correctly, the display
will indicate the existing user-defined pass code with either
CFGPC
or
CALPC
on the character display.
1. Press the UP or DOWN button to select the first character of
the new pass code.
2. When the desired first character is displayed, press and
release the front button to move to the next character.
3. Repeat above until the entire pass code is complete.
4. To exit, press and hold the front button. Release the button
when the display indicates - - - - to restart the gauge.
5. Move the switch on the circuit board to the DISABLE posi-
tion.
6. Replace the back cover, including the rubber gasket.
Calibration
See Calibration Preparation section. See rear label of gauge for
model identification and range.
Remove the 6 Phillips screws on the back of the unit and
remove the rear cover.
Move the switch on the circuit board to the ENABLE position.
Locate the internal UP and DOWN buttons on the circuit board.
Entering Calibration Mode
With the gauge off, press and hold the DOWN button, then
press the front button.
Release all buttons when the display indicates
CAL
.
The display begins by indicating the full-scale positive pressure
rating of the gauge in the engineering units as configured by
the factory, and then shows all display segments.
Before the gauge enters the calibration mode, the display ini-
tially indicates _ _ _ _ with the first underscore blinking, with
CALPC
(calibration pass code) on the lower display.
Note: The gauge will automatically revert to normal operation
if no buttons are operated for approximately 15 seconds. To
cancel and return to normal operation, press and release the
front without entering any pass code characters.
Enter the pass code as described in the User Configuration
Pass Code Entry section. The default is 3510, but this is user
changeable.
Calibration Mode
The gauge remains in the calibration mode until restarted
manually or power is removed. Features not related to calibra-
tion are disabled.
The calibration may be performed in any of the available
engineering units as well as percent (PCT). Compound range
models are set for the same engineering units for pressure
and for vacuum.
For greatest calibration accuracy, use the UP and DOWN
buttons to select engineering units with highest number of
display counts.
Press and release the front button when the desired engineer-
ing units are displayed.

The display will then indicate the currently applied pressure in
the engineering units selected for calibration.
UP and DOWN Button Operation
Each time one of the UP or DOWN buttons is pressed and
released quickly, a small change is made to the digitized pres-
sure signal. It may take more than one of these small changes
to result in a single digit change on the display.
To make larger changes, press and hold the appropriate UP or
DOWN button. After about one second, the display will begin
to change continuously. Release the button to stop. Then
make fine adjustments by pressing and quickly releasing the
appropriate button.
Gauge Reference Pressure Gauges
Apply zero pressure by venting the gauge port to atmosphere.
The character display will alternate between
ZERO
and
CAL
.
Press the UP and DOWN buttons to obtain a zero indication on
the gauge display.
Apply full-scale pressure. The character display will alternate
between
+SPAN
and
CAL
.
Press the UP and DOWN buttons to match the gauge display to
the full-scale pressure reading on the calibrator.
Apply 50% full-scale pressure. The character display will alter-
nate between
+MID
and
CAL
.
Press the UP and DOWN buttons to match the gauge display to
the 50% of full-scale pressure on the calibrator.

and
CAL
.
Calibration—continued
Press the UP and DOWN buttons to match the gauge display to

Calibration Preparation
Calibration must only be done in a non-hazardous area. See
Installation and Precautions.
Gauges are factory calibrated at approximately 23°C using
NIST traceable calibration equipment. Calibration is not
required before using the gauge. Calibration intervals depend
on your quality standards, but annual re-calibration is custom-
ary. Calibration should only be performed by qualified individu-
als using appropriate calibration standards and procedures.
The calibration equipment should be at least four times more
accurate than the gauge being calibrated.
The calibration system must be able to generate and measure
pressure and/or vacuum over the full range of the gauge.
A vacuum pump able to produce a vacuum of 100 microns
(0.1 torr or 100 millitorr) or lower is required for vacuum and
absolute gauges.
Warning: Never apply vacuum to gauge not designated for
vacuum service. Permanent sensor damage may result.
It is good practice to install fresh batteries before calibration.
Allow the gauge to equalize to normal room temperature (about
20 minutes minimum) before calibration.
