Manual Conventions
This manual is intended to provide the user with the basic information necessary to operate a PPC2+
pressure controller/calibrator. It also includes a great deal of additional information provided to allow
you to optimize its use and take full advantage of its many features and functions.
Before using the manual, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the table of contents structure:
Sections 1, 2 and 3 should be read by all first time PPC2+ users. Section 3 is most important for those
using the local front panel interface but should be read over by all users to familiarize themselves with
general PPC2+ operating principles. Section 4 is for remote operation from an external computer.
Section 5 provides maintenance and calibration information. Section 6 is a quick
troubleshooting guide. Use it to troubleshoot unexpected PPC2+ behavior based on the symptom of
that behavior.
