It is not required that the calibration pressure standard apply precisely the nominal pressure
value of each calibration point as long as the exact value of the applied pressure is known. Best results
are obtained if the actual applied pressure is within 2 % of the nominal point definition.

In absolute mode, a point at or near atmospheric pressure. Zero (vented) in gauge mode.
PPCH Q-RPTs that will NOT be used in absolute measurement mode may be calibrated in
gauge measurement mode with a gauge pressure standard. PPCH Q-RPTs calibrated in gauge
measurement mode by applying gauge reference pressure values should be used in gauge mode
only (see Section 5.3.5).
5.3.5
TURNING OFF ABSOLUTE MEASUREMENT MODE FOR A
Q-RPT
PURPOSE
To prevent selection of absolute measurement mode for a Q-RPT.
PRINCIPLE
PPCH Q-RPTs are intrinsically absolute (Axxx type) but are frequently used in gauge
measurement mode only (see Section 3.3.3
PRINCIPLE). PPCH Q-RPTs that are used in
gauge mode only, may be calibrated in gauge mode with a reference that applies gauge
pressures. Calibration with an absolute reference is not necessary. However, if a PPCH Q-
RPT is calibrated in gauge mode, it is not possible to know if it is in or out of tolerance in
absolute mode. To avoid using absolute measurement mode on a Q-RPT that is calibrated
for gauge mode only, access to absolute mode can be turned ON and OFF. This is
accomplished in the [SPECIAL], <8cal> menu.
OPERATION
See
Section
5.3.7 for more detailed information on editing and viewing Q-RPT calibration
information. See Section 3.5.5.5 for information on the PPCH security system to prevent access
to Q-RPT calibration editing.
Turning absolute mode operation ON and OFF for a Q-RPT occurs in the same area in which
calibration coefficients are edited. To access the Q-RPT calibration editing area press

and select the desired Q-RPT. Then select
<1edit>
to make changes
(see Section 5.3.7).
