Manual Conventions
This manual is intended to provide the user with the basic information necessary to operate a PPCK+
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 PPCK+ 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 PPCK+ 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 PPCK+ behavior based on the symptom of
that behavior.
For those of you who “don’t read manuals”, go directly to Section 2.3 to set up your PPCK+ and then
Section 2.4 for power-up and verification. This will get you running quickly with a minimal risk of
causing damage to yourself or your new PPCK+. THEN… when you have questions or start to wonder
about all the great features you might be missing, get into the manual!
Certain words and expressions have specific meaning as they pertain to PPCK+. The Glossary
Section (Section 7.3) is useful as a quick reference for exact definition of specific words and
expressions as they are used in the manual.
(CAUTION) is used in manual to identify user warnings and cautions.
(NOTE) is used in the manual to identify operating and applications advice and additional
explanations.
