5.3 Mounting
The instrument can be set up on a desk top or it can be rack-mounted. Rack mount hardware is optional
on the CPC4000 (see Section 5.2 Dimensions and Section 8, Options).
The special transducers used in the CPC4000 are relatively insensitive to tilt and vibration. However to
further assure stability and accuracy, avoid mounting the instrument on surfaces subject to excessive mo-
tor or machinery vibration.
5.4 Rear Panel
Five pneumatic pressure ports are located across the rear panel. Any instrument containing sub-atmo-
spheric pressure ranges needs a vacuum pump to be connected at the exhaust port. The instruments
with pressures above or at atmospheric pressures will have the exhaust port open. Next to the ventila-
tion fan is a 10-32 UNF fitting which is connected to the barometric reference if installed. Positioned on
the right side is a remote communication connections; RS-232, Ethernet, IEEE- 488, USB along with the
USB host connection.

5.4.1 Pressure Connections
Warning
!
Warning! The pressure connections must be installed according to the following
instructions, observing the relevant regulations. The installation is to be per-
formed by trained, authorized personnel, knowledgeable in the safety regulations
for working on pneumatic/hydraulic systems.

Notice
Five pressure connections are on the rear panel. Plugged connections are not used.
All pressure ports on the rear apart from the Vent Port are female 7/16 - 20 SAE/MS straight threads per
MS16142 and SAE J514 table 14. Connected adaptors require a tube fitting boss seal with an o-ring per
MS33656. Mensor can provide a variety of adapter fittings (see Section 8 Options) with the instrument.
Do not use sealant on fittings sealed with an o-ring. The integrity of each seal is particularly important
since even microscopic leaks can cause errors in pressure measurements.
