About This Manual
This manual is intended to provide the user with the basic information necessary to operate a PPC4
pressure controller/calibrator. It also includes a great deal of additional information provided to allow you
to optimize PPC4 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 PPC4 users. Section 4 is important for those needing
to communicate in local mode with the Basic user interface. Section 5 is important for those using the
Advanced user interface. Section 6 is for remote operation from an external computer. Section 7 provides
maintenance and calibration information. Section 8 is a quick troubleshooting guide. Use it to
troubleshoot unexpected PPC4 behavior based on the symptom of that behavior. Certain words and
expressions have specific meaning as they pertain to PPC4. The Glossary, Section 11 is useful as a
quick reference for exact definition of specific words and expressions as they are used in the manual.
Note
For those who “don’t read manuals”, go directly to Section 2.3 to set up your PPC4
and then go to Section 2.4 for power-up and verification. This will get you up and
running quickly with a minimal risk of causing damage to yourself or your new
PPC4. THEN…when you have questions or start to wonder about all the great
features you might be missing, get into the manual!
Manual Conventions
Note
•
This manual is written for both the basic PPC4 and the PPC4-ui.
Throughout the manual the local interface for the PPC4-ui, which has a
large color graphics display and is typically used in bench top applications,
is referred to as the Advanced user interface or Advanced Interface. In turn
the limited function local interface for the basic PPC4, which is typically
controlled by a remote computer, is referred to as the Basic user interface
or Basic Interface.
•
When the term “PPC4” is used alone, it typically refers to both basic PPC4
and PPC4-ui collectively since the only difference between the two is the
local user interface.
•
Detailed description of menu structure, key press sequences and
conventions for the Advanced user interface are found in Section 5.
•
Detailed description of menu structure, key press sequences and
conventions for the basic user interface are found in Section 4.
•
For dedicated front panel keys, such as

,

,

, and

, any time a
key is shown in the manual, it should be interpreted to mean “press this
key”. For example:

to return to the Main Run Screen means “Press the

button to return to the Main Run Screen”.
