OVERVIW
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the WT Series Digital Test Gauge from Crystal
Engineering Corporation. The WT Series is a combination of leading edge
technology and rugged industrial design. The WT Series Digital Test Gauge is
designed to fit in 8″ or 10″ panel mount applications commonly found in
portable test sets. The WT Series is based on the Crystal Engineering Corp.
model XP2i digital pressure gauge. The WT Series pressure gauge has been
repackaged so that it may be mounted in a portable enclosure, while retaining
easy access to batteries and to the digital (RS-232) interface (both of which
would otherwise be on the back of the gauge).
Accuracy is 0.1 percent of reading—so any WT Series can typically replace
several gauges you may have been using. The WT Series is fully temperature
compensated—so there is no change in accuracy throughout the entire operating
temperature range!
The WT Series’ case is made from rugged aluminum alloy utilizing a gasket to
seal the enclosure against dust and water intrusion. Even the RS-232 connector
is fully sealed (with or without the red cover or rubber boot). Circuitry is
mounted in shock absorbing elastomer supports and the batteries are easily
accessible by removing four screws. But you won’t need to change the batteries
often, since 3 AAA batteries provide up to 500 hours of continuous operation.
The batteries are easily replaced by removing the two screws, Other features
include:
- Continuous capture of peak and valley pressure readings
- PSV mode
- Programming interface
- User-defined units
Your WT Series can be customized, through © PSV mode the use of our free ConfigXP™ software. Your personal computer can disable, enable, or modify a variety of features of your WT Series. Look for the (CONFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE logo for programmable features, like:
- Programming interface
- User-defined units
- Auser defined pressure scale, and/or disable unused pressure units
- Password protection to prevent unauthorized changes
- Disable keypad recalibration, (peak) button, and/or (units) button ~ A T/A Expand or decrease allowable Zero range Pressure [5 cur Business
- Set the gauge to a different density of water factor (4° C, 60° F, or 68°F)
- Store a 12 digit ID or tag number in non-volatile memory
- Adjust calibration values
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The WT Series is shipped with batteries installed, so it’s ready to use. Press
and hold the (on/off) button. The WT Series will first test all LCD segments.
Release the (on/off) button when the WT Series indicates pressure.
The WT Series always resumes operation in the mode and the units of the
pressure last used, and it does not automatically rezero when turned on.
Connect the WT Series to your system.
! CAUTION: Never insert any object into the pressure connection! The
sensor diaphragm is very thin and can be damaged or destroyed by solid or
sharp objects. Cleaning of the sensor must be done with appropriate solvents
only.
! WARNING: Severe injury or damage can occur through improper use of
pressure instruments! Do not exceed recommended pressure limits of tubing and
fittings. Be certain all pressure connections are secured.
Most WT Series are intended for gauge pressure measurement. That is, they
indicate the difference between applied pressure and ambient barometric
pressure. However, the (zero) button can be used to force a WT Series to read
zero pressure at any applied pressure, up to the full scale rating of the
gauge. The factory default setting limits the maximum zero value to 20 PSI,
but this limit can be changed with (CONnFIGXP ).
Some WT Series are rated for absolute pressure. Absolute gauges indicate the
difference between applied pressure and an internal vacuum reference. Absolute
pressure is always positive. For instance barometric pressure at sea level is
on average about 14.7 PSI (approximately 100 kPa or 1 bar), so at sea level
this is the lowest expected pressure indication. However, absolute gauges can
be “zeroed” (unless prevented by ConfigXP). After zeroing an absolute gauge it
is possible to indicate a negative or positive gauge pressure.
! WARNING: This gauge can display zero pressure when connected to a source
of pressure! Do not rely on the display indication before disconnecting— it
may not be indicating true pressure. Never disconnect pressure instrumentation
without first relieving system pressure!
Functions
Units Button
Pressing this button causes the WT Series to select the next available unit
of pressure measurement.
See Pressure Ranges, Display Scales, & Resolution on page 13 or the list of
pressure units available for your model.
ConrFiIGXxP PROGRAMMABLE ) Units that you don’t need or never use can be
turned off. You can also define a special unit for your WT Series with
ConfigXP.
You can use the WT Series to display directly in a unit not otherwise
available, such as feet of seawater, or foot-pounds of torque. When you select
your custom unit from the keypad, the screen displays the USER icon.
Peak Button
On the WT Series, pressing the (peak) button causes the display to cycle
through the following , depending on your setting in ConfigXP.
No icon | Live Pressure display |
---|---|
Maximum detected pressure | |
Minimum detected pressure | |
PSV Mode, maximum * | |
PSV Mode, minimum * | |
Average pressure | |
DataLoggerXP datalogging mode |
- From the factory this setting is disabled, Use ConfigXP to enable,
Peak High and Peak Low values are not saved when the gauge shuts off; they will reset to the current reading when the WT Series is turned on or reset.
COnFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE) In some cases the ability to display a peak value may not be needed, or may even be dangerous. ConfigXP allows you to disable this button.
The WT Series can average 1 to 10 readings, recalculated every time pressure is measured (4 times per second). Enable and set the number of readings to be averaged with ConfigXP.
On the -DD, dual-line display WT Series, pressing the (peak) button causes the display to cycle through the following, depending on your setting in ConfigXP:

Resetting (Clearing) Recorded Peak Values
Peak values can only be cleared when displaying either a Peak High or Peak Low
recorded pressure. Press the (clear) button for at least % second. Dashed
lines will briefly appear across the display indicating that both Peak values
have been cleared. Both Peak High and Peak Low values will then display the
current applied pressure. Pressing the (clear) button while either the Peak
High icon (a) or the Peak Low icon (SW) is displayed will not affect the zero
value. If you need to rezero the gauge, you must turn off both peak icons by
pressing the (peak) button.
Zero
COnFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE ) If you attempt to zero the gauge while applying a
pressure which exceeds the Zero Limit (set in ConfigXP, defaults to 20 PSI),
the command will be ignored and – – Hf – will be displayed.
> To Zero the WT Series
Turn off peak indication by pressing the (peak) button repeatedly until the
Peak High icon ( ) and Peak Low icon ( ) are off. Then press the (zero)
button for at least % second when the gauge is vented to atmosphere.
The display will then briefly flash all dashed lines ( ), indicating that it
has been re-zeroed. Absolute gauges will now indicate gauge pressure.
! WARNING: This gauge can display zero pressure when connected to a source
of pressure! Do not rely on the display indication before disconnecting— it
may not be indicating true pressure. Never disconnect pressure instrumentation
without first relieving system pressure!
> To Clear the Zero Value on the WT Series
Turn off peak indication as described above, then press and hold the (zero)
button until the display changes from (vz }to( ). This is especially useful
for absolute gauges that have been zeroed to use for gauge pressure
measurement.
Tare (-DD, Dual-Line Display WT Series Only)
Tare is a constant value subtracted from the true pressure. For instance,
if you were mixing gases by partial pressure, you might want to fill a tank to
1760 psi with air, then add another 440 psi of helium. To reduce the chance of
error, you could tare the gauge at 1760 psi. Then you would add helium until
the indication reached 440. In contrast to the Zero function discussed
previously, Tare is not subject to the Zero Limit set in ConfigXP. Tare is
available only when the TARE icon is on. To use the Tare feature, press the
(peak) button repeatedly until the screen displays the TARE icon. The TARE
icon will flash to remind you that live pressure may not be indicated on the
screen. Apply pressure to the gauge until you reach the desired value. Press
the (zero) button. The top line will change from true pressure to zero. The
amount of the tare will be displayed on the second line. To clear the tare,
press and hold the (zero) button until the tare value changes from ( )to( ).
CONFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE ) The Tare function is disabled by default, but can be
enabled with ConfigXP.
CONFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE ) The Tare function is disabled by default, but can be
enabled with ConfigXP.
Rate (-DD, Dual-Line Display WT Series Only)
Rate is the measurement of pressure change per minute, When in Rate mode, the
second line will display the rate, and the /min icon will display. Rate is
calculated at every pressure measurement (4 times per second), and the
displayed value is the average of the most recent 3 to 10 calculations. By
increasing the number of calculations in the average, the WT will indicate a
more stable rate. However, the WT will react more slowly to changes in rate.
To use the rate feature, press the (peak) button repeatedly until the /min
icon displays. As pressure changes, the second line will indicate rate of
change. COnFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE ) The rate function is disabled by default, but
can be enabled and configured with ConfigXP. The number of calculations can
also be set with the digital interface.
Differential Mode (-DD, Dual-Line Display WT Series Only)
Differential mode allows the WT Dual-Line Display gauge (the master) to be
connected to a second WT gauge (the slave) and display the pressure difference
between the two gauges. A standard RS232 cable (p/n 2400) and null modem
adapter (p/n 3456) or a null modem cable are required to directly connect the
gauges. You must use ConfigXP to enable this feature, and once enabled, use
the (peak) button on the master gauge until the Peak High ( ) and Peak Low ( )
icons are displayed simultaneously. A WT Series gauge must be running firmware
version RO114 or later, and a WT gauge must be running firmware version RO014
or later for this feature to work. Use DataLoggerXP version .6.10 or later to
upgrade to the latest firmware.
COnFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE ) The differential mode is disabled by default, but can
be enabled and configured with ConfigXP.
Automatic Shut-off
The WT Series has a shutoff timer and will turn off automatically after 20
minutes of non-operation. Pressing any button or sending any command via the
RS232 connection resets the shutoff timer for another 20 minutes of operation.
The WT Series will briefly display Auto Off 20 when turned on.
To disable the shutoff feature, turn on the WT Series by pressing the (on/off)
and (zero) buttons simultaneously. The WT Series will briefly display the
words No Auio Off to indicate that it will not turn off. The shutoff feature
can be enabled again when turning the WT Series on, by pressing the same
(on/off) and (zero) buttons. These settings are retained when the product is
powered down.
Note: This key combination will not toggle the auto-shutoff feature if
ConfigXP is set to require a password before changing settings.
Backlight
Pressing the (backlight) button instantly lights the display at maximum
brightness. Hold down the button for 1 second to keep it on. The display will
flash briefly, indicating that it will stay on for 1 minute. If you press the
(backlight) button again, the backlight will go into a lower brightness
setting to extend battery life, and remain on for 2 minutes after the last key
is pressed. Press the (backlight) button once more and the light will go out.
If you start the WT Series in the No Auto Off mode, you may select the
brightness level in the same way. The light will never time out and turn off.
Turn off the WT Series, or press the (backlight) button repeatedly, to turn
off the backlight.
Measuring Vacuum
All versions of the WT Series can be used to measure moderate vacuum, though
only ranges of 300 PSI (and 20 bar or 2000 kPa) and lower are actually tested
and certified for vacuum operation.
When measuring pressure less than ambient barometric conditions, a minus (-)
sign will appear.
Absolute gauges (models with a“B” in front of “WT” in the part number) will
NOT indicate a negative sign when vacuum is applied, unless the (zero) button
has been pressed while a pressure greater than full vacuum is applied to the
gauge. If your absolute gauge does indicate a negative pressure, you can clear
the zero value (“zero”) by pressing the (zero) button until the display
changes from ( }to( ).
! CAUTION: WT Series are not recommended for continuous use below -14.5
PSIG.
For continuous use below -14.5 PSIG with high accuracy, choose our XP2i-DP
Differential Pressure Gauge.
Water Density (Inches of Water)
The following applies only to models where inches of water is a selectable
pressure unit. As shipped from the factory, the WT Series is set to display
inches of water corresponding to the density of water at 4° C (39.2° F). You
may require a different water density for your application, so the WT Series
can be set to use the density of water at 20° C (68° F) or 15.6° C (60° F)
instead.
To check and/or change the water density setting from the keypad, turn on the
WT Series by pressing the (en/off) button and the (peak) button
simultaneously. The display will indicate either 4C, 60F, or 68F.
Press the (units) button until the display cycles to the desired water
density, then press the (zero) button to store the selection (this will not
zero the gauge).
COnFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE ) Select and set the desired density of water.
Note: If the WT Series is password protected, or inches of water is
disabled, you will not be able to view or change the water density from the
keypad.
Overpressure Conditions
The WT Series will read pressure up to approximately 110% of the rated
pressure range. Above 110% percent of the range the display will start
flashing and the readings will not be reliable. The zero function does not
affect the point at which the display starts flashing to indicate
overpressure, so depending on the zero value it is possible that the display
can start flashing without the maximum pressure being displayed.
For instance, if a 100 PSI WT Series is zeroed when 30 PS! is being applied,
it will indicate that the overpressure condition has been reached at 80 PSI
(i.e., 110% x 100 PSI — 30 PSI = 80 PSI).
Overpressure can affect accuracy, but the effect is only temporary unless the
sensor has been destroyed. See Pressure Ranges, Display Scales, & Resolution
on page 13 for maximum overpressure.
PSVtest Mode
PSVtest mode is designed for PSV and PRV (“Pressure Safety Valve” and
“Pressure Relief Valve’, respectively) as well as for Rupture Disc (also known
as “Burst Disc”) testing. It increases the measurement rate of the WT Series
gauge to approximately eight times per second, to capture the peak pressure
when the valve opened, and adds a method of automatically capturing the
closing reseat pressure.
Use ConfigXP to activate PSVtest Mode. When the Peak High icon ( ) flashes,
PSVtest mode is enabled. A special feature of PSVtest is that Peak Low is
automatically reset to the Peak High value whenever a new Peak High value is
detected. Once pressure stops increasing, as when a PSV opens (and the
pressure drops below the maximum pressure) WT Series detects the new minimum
pressure values (the Peak Low), capturing the closing pressure of a PSV.
Press the (peak) button once to view the captured reseat pressure. The Peak
Low icon ( ) will flash on the display.
To clear the peaks, press the (clear) button while the display shows the Peak
High icon ( ) or Peak Low icon ( ).
Note: Application note AN-006—Pressure Safety Valve Testing detailing the
operation of the PSVtest mode is available on on our website and includes ex-
amples on how to use the gauge in relief valve and burst disk testing.
Reset
If for some reason the WT Series needs to be reset, remove any battery for at
least one minute, then reinstall the battery. If the reset is successful, the
WT Series will start operating without pressing the (on/off) button. Reset
will clear the zero, peak values will be reset to the current reading, and the
WT Series will be set to the default engineering units.
Communications/Programming
The WT Series responds to a query-based command language which allows remote
control of the gauge. Please refer to the XP2i Programming Instructions for
documentation of this feature.
Low Battery Indication
The Battery icon (aD uses three bars to display the battery level. When the
icon displays all three bars, the batteries are full. The WT Series will
continue to operate accurately while the icon is visible. When the batteries
are exhausted, the letters batt will appear across the display. After batt
appears, no pressure measurements will be possible until the batteries are
replaced.
Battery Replacement
The WTSeries gauge uses 3 AAA alkaline batteries. The batteries are located
above the gauge behind a metal panel. With a small flat blade screwdriver,
unscrew the two panel screws to gain access to the battery compartment. Remove
the battery holder and slide the cover off. After replacing the batteries, the
gauge will start operating immediately (without having to press the button).
This indicates that a complete reset has occurred, and is normal.
CAUTION: Do not mix battery types or manufacturers.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The WT Series is a very high performance gauge. Due to the high resolution of
this product, you may observe conditions that appear to be defects in the
prod- uct, but are in fact a result of being able to resolve and measure
pressure to a degree not possible with other instruments.
Noisy or Unstable Reading When Used with Fluids
When calibrating or comparing the indicated pressure from a WT Series
against a hydraulic dead weight tester or piston gauge, the reading on the WT
may appear unstable—the least significant digit jumps up and down several
counts.
- Reason: Gas (usually air) is trapped in the line between the gauge and the deadweight tester. What is actually happening is the mass is oscillating up and down, and the combination of gas and fluid is acting like a spring. At higher pressures (above 2000 PSI, typically) this may eventually diminish, as the gas dissolves into the fluid.
- Solution: Evacuate all tubing with a vacuum pump, before introducing fluid into the system.
Non-repeatability of Pressure Measurements
When checking the gauge against a hydraulic deadweight, increasing pressure
measurements do not match decreasing pressure measurements.
» Reason: As in the previous note, gas has dissolved into the hydraulic fluid.
When decreasing the pressure, the dissolved gas then leaves the fluid, but at
an uneven rate, so small pressure differential (due to fluid head pressure)
may exist between the reference deadweight and the gauge being tested.
- Solution: Evacuate all tubing with a vacuum pump, before introducing fluid into the system.
- Reason: The gauge is a master in differential mode that cannot detect the slave device.
Err 1 Displayed
- Reason: The WT checks the integrity of internal calibration coefficients every time it’s turned on. If any coefficients have been corrupted in any way, “Err 1”is displayed.
- Solution: Contact factory for instructions on how to restore the memory to the original factory settings.
Err 2 Displayed
- Reason: The WT has tried to display a number too large for the display (i.e., more than 5 digits). May be due to an electrical malfunction or numerical error.
- Solution: Contact factory for further instructions.
Err 4 Displayed on -DD, Dual Line Display Gauge.
Reason: The gauge is a master in differential mode that cannot detect the slave device.
Solution:
- Turn on the slave gauge.
- Ensure you are using a null modem RS232 cable or standard cable with a null modem adapter.
- Use ConfigXP to remove the differential mode from the gauge.
Err 5 or Err 6 Displayed
- Reason: The WT pressure sensor is exhibiting out of normal operating condition behavior.
- Solution: Contact factory for sensor replacement.
CALIBRATION
Factory Adjustment
If adjustment is required, we recommend returning the unit to the factory,
Factory service offers benefits you won’t find anywhere else, We have the
facilities to test your gauge at a variety of temperatures utilizing NIST
traceable standards in our A2LA accredited laboratory, resulting in
calibration certificates that provide performance data over temperature.
Furthermore, upgrades may be available to add or enhance operating features.
We designed the product to last, and we support it so that you can get the
most from your investment.
Calibration Frequency
Under normal operating conditions, we recommend the WT be calibrated on an
annual basis. Your quality system may require more or less frequent
calibration, or your experience with the gauge, or operating environment may
suggest longer or shorter intervals.
Although we prefer that you return the WT to Crystal Engineering for
calibration, ordinary recertification and/or adjustments may be performed by
any quali- fied personnel with appropriate training and equipment.
Span Factor
There are no internal potentiometers. The WTcontains a “span” factor, set to
approximately 1 (as shipped from the factory). As components age this may need
to be changed to a value slightly higher or lower, to slightly increase or
decrease all readings. This adjustment can be made with or without a computer
(see ConfigXP Configuration Software).
> Span Factor adjustment
Note: The following instructions are ONLY intended for such qualified
personnel with appropriate test equipment. We recommend that the calibration
standards used have a minimum rated accuracy of 0.025% of reading, or
equivalent in terms of percent of full scale. This level of accuracy requires
the use of piston (deadweight) gauges or very high performance pressure
controllers.
“Zero” the WT, then record displayed pressure for two or more pressure points.
Determine if the WT would benefit from an overall increase or decrease of the
indicated pressures.
To change the span factor from the keypad, turn off the WT, then press the
(on/off), (units), and (peak) buttons simultaneously. The firmware version
will be briefly displayed, followed by the word cal, followed by the actual
span value. The span factor may be adjusted by pressing either the (units) or
(peak) button to increase or decrease the value, respectively. The value
changes in 0.0001 increments, Press the (zero) button to store the new value
in memory, or the (on/off) button to cancel the change.
For absolute WTs, it is possible to correct for long term drift using a second
calibration factor, zero value offset. ConfigXP and a barometric reference
with accuracy of 0.1 PS! or better is required to perform the calibration.
Tocalibrate the zero offset, clear the zero as described earlier in this
manual by pressing and holding the (zero) button until ( ) appears. Once
cleared, subtract the displayed pressure from barometric pressure, add this
difference to any existing zero value offset in ConfigXP, and update the gauge
(new value = barometric — displayed + existing). For example, if the displayed
value is 14.5 PSI, barometric pressure is 14.7 PSI, and the existing zero
value offset in ConfigXP is 0.1 PSI, the new zero value offset would be 0.3
PSI (14.7 – 14.5 + 0.1 = 0.3).
COnFIGXP PROGRAMMABLE ) The span factor and zero value offset can be viewed
and set directly by ConfigXP. Span factor adjustment through the keypad can be
disabled by ConfigXP through the disable span factor feature or by password
protecting the WT .
