Description of the device

General description
The high pressure calibrator enables pressure to be generated by means of the integrated pressure pump, up to 700 bar relative. The measurement technology incor-porated into this device allows ac-curate measurement and documen-tation of the characteristic of a test object that is connected to it. The measured pressure progression can be displayed, evaluated and saved with a computer monitoring program (CCS30). The calibrator is operated with the two function buttons SELECT and ENTER, located directly below the display. The calibrator itself is powered by a 3,0 V battery, but power can also be supplied externally via the K-114-A interface converter. Test ob-jects (transmitters or pressure switch-es) must be supplied from an external source.

Pressure range for the display
High pressure calibrators are them-selves calibrated with the ambient air pressure as the zero point reference. The Zero function (Set Zero) allows any desired pressure value to be set as the new zero point reference. To reset the pressure zero point to the factory setting, use the RES Zero function (reset zero).

Commissioning
A pressure-resistant connection for the test object is required in order to use the high pressure calibrator. The pressure connection for the test object is already screwed to the pressure distributor of the high pressure calibra- tor so that it is pressure resistant when it leaves the factory, and it must not be dismantled. Recommended torque for the test object pressure connection: 30 Nm

IMPORTANT!
Nothing must adhere to the surface of the test object (no oil, grease, water, etc). Impurities could pass through the adapter to reach the high pressure calibrator and damage it.

Proof pressure
If the pressure exceeds the measuring range by more than 20 %, the measur-ing cell or the mechanism of the high pressure calibrator may be destroyed.

Recalibration
The recalibration cycle depends on the conditions of use. Recommended recalibration cycle: 1 year.

Intended use

The high pressure calibrator (HPX) may only be used to generate pres-sure with the type HLP 22 BP hydrau-lic oil that is supplied with the product. Use of the calibrator with other media will damage it. The operational safety of the device supplied is guaranteed only if it is used as intended. The limit values as stated (see page 19: «Tech-nical data») must never be exceeded. Before installing the high pressure calibrator, check that it is suitable for your applications.

General safety warnings

The current national regulations on accident prevention and workplace

safety must be followed whenever work is carried out. Internal regula-tions issued by the operator must be followed, even if they are not mentioned in these instructions.
Never use the high pressure calibra-tor together with an external pressure source. Do not remove any connected compo-nents (e.g. test objects) when the high pressure calibrator is under pressure. Open the screwed sealing plug before removing parts. Do not use Teflon tape to seal the pressure connection. Residues of Teflon tape could penetrate the high- pressure calibrator and damage it. Only use the adapters and seals that are available as accessories. Do not store the calibrator under pres-sure: only store the high pressure cali-brator with the drain valve open. Avoid the action of force of any kind on the high pressure calibrator and its operating controls. Do not use high pressure calibrators if they are damaged or faulty.

Operating the HPX calibrator

Operating the high pressure calibrator is described starting on page 16.

Connect the test object
You can connect your test object to the high pressure calibrator via the pres- sure connection (9).

Pressure generation
When using the calibrator, the screwed sealing plug (7) must be opened (2 turns), so that overpressure cannot build up in the oil reservoir. Use the manual booster pump (8) to set the pressure to about 10 bar. You can use the screw compressor (11) to increase or reduce the pressure.

Release pressure

1. Open the screw compressor (11) completely
2. Open the drain valve (10)

IMPORTANT! Do not open if there is high pressure in the system

If you can no longer reach the desired pressure, please consult the section on “Maintenance” to find out how to vent the system.

Zeroing the device
Open the drain valve (10) to release any pressure that may have built up. If the pressure display does not show zero, perform a zeroing procedure (Set Zero) and then close the drain valve.

Information about the display
If no pressure can be shown on the display, it will show OFL (overflow) or UFL (underflow). If pressure outside the device’s measuring range is applied, the last valid pressure value that was measured will flash on the display (overload warning).

Reset

Commissioning

Switch the device on
Press the SELECT button to switch the device on. Initially, the device shows the pressure range calibrated in the factory (top) and the software version (year / week).

Switch the device off

• Keep the SELECT button pressed down until the display shows OFF.
• Press the ENTER button to execute the shutdown.
• The settings made previously are retained when you switch the device on and off.

Display mode
Display mode is the calibrator’s basic mode. The upper part of the display shows the pressure unit and the pres-sure that is currently measured. The lower part of the display shows the last function that was used, either the min./ max. display or the Leak function.

Using the functions
Written descriptions of the individual functions are given below (in addition to the diagram above).

Selecting functions
The individual sub-functions are called up from the MANO menu. Keep the SELECT button pressed until MANO  is shown, and press ENTER to ac-tivate. You can now use SELECT to choose the function you want, and ENTER to execute the function. De-pending on the current setting, the first function to be shown is either min/max disp or LEAK disp.

Leak measurement function
Leak mode is used to determine the pressure change over a defined period, which can be adjusted. The unit to be tested must be connected to the high pressure calibrator on the pressure side.

Start leak measurement
Activate the MANO menu. The dis-play shows Leak dISP. Press the ENTER button and then the SELECT button. Press ENTER to confirm Leak Start. The leak measurement starts, and the display alternates be-tween the current leak time and the pressure change measured thus far.

Active leak measurement
During leak measurement, the lower part of the display alternates each sec-ond between the measurement time that has now elapsed [mm:ss] and the pressure change measured thus far.

End leak measurement early
To end a leak measurement early, press the ENTER button and confirm the «Leak Stop» display by pressing ENTER.

Leak measurement completed
If the leak measurement time has elapsed or if the measurement was manually ended ahead of time, the display alternates between the elapsed leak measurement time and the measured pressure change.

Set leak measurement time
The leak measurement time is preset to 10 minutes in the factory, and it can only be changed with the «Mano Con-fig» software.

MANO / «Continuous» function
Automatic switch-off function (the de-vice switches off automatically 15 mi- nutes after a button was last pressed). Leak measurements are canceled by the automatic switch-off function if the measurement time is more than the switch- off time.

• Cont on: Disables the automatic switch-off function
• Cont oFF: Enables the automatic switch-off function

If the «Continuous» function is en-abled, Cont flashes on the display.

Maintenance / disposal

Venting the pressure system
Release the pressure completely and then open the drain valve (10) and the screwed sealing plug (7). Screw the screw compressor (11) in completely. Pump steadily with the manual boos-ter pump (8) to clear the system of air. When no more bubbles come out of the recirculation pipe (6), close the drain valve (10).

Changing the oil
We recommend that you have KELLER change the oil. The entire system is cleaned at the same time. Only use type HLP 22 BP hydraulic oil.

Battery
The pressure calibrator is powered by a 3 V button-cell battery (behind the display). If the battery is low, the battery symbol on the display lights up.

Replacing the battery
Please switch the device off. Turn the display section ring beyond the limit stop until it is released from the hous-ing section (turn through about 180°). Open the battery compartment and change the battery (type CR 2430).
