Overview  1 —— Overview Introduction Thank you for choosing the XP2i Digital Test Gauge from Crystal Engineering Corporation. Your XP2i is a combination of leading edge technology and rugged industrial design. Accuracy is 0.1 percent of reading–so any XP2i can typically replace several gauges you may have been using.
PAGE 4
—— Overview  2 Operating Instructions The XP2i is shipped with batteries installed, so it’s ready to use. Press and hold the (on/off ) button. The XP2i will first test all LCD segments. Release the (on/off ) button when the XP2i indicates pressure. The XP2i 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 XP2i to your system.
PAGE 5
Functions  3 Functions units Units Button Pressing this button causes the XP2i to select the next available unit of pressure measurement. See Pressure Ranges, Display Scales, & Resolution on page 28 or the list of pressure units available for your model. Units that you don’t need or never use can be turned off. You can also define a special unit for your XP2i with ConfigXP. You can use the XP2i to display directly in a unit not otherwise available, such as feet of seawater, or foot-pounds of torque.
PAGE 6
Functions  4 zero Resetting (Clearing) Recorded Peak Values clear Peak values can only be cleared when displaying either a Peak High or Peak Low recorded pressure. Press the (clear) button for at least ½ 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.
PAGE 7
Functions  5 Tare (-DD, Dual-Line Display XP2i 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.
PAGE 8
Functions  6 Automatic Shut-off The XP2i has a shutoff timer and will turn off automatically after 20 minutes of non-operation. Pressing any button or sending any command via the RS-232 connection resets the shutoff timer for another 20 minutes of operation. The XP2i will briefly display Auto Off 20 when turned on. To disable the shutoff feature, turn on the XP2i by pressing the (on/off) and (zero) buttons simultaneously.
PAGE 9
Functions  7 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 XP2i 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 XP2i can be set to use the density of water at 20° C (68° F) or 15.6° C (60° F) instead.
PAGE 10
Functions  8 Low Battery Indication The Battery icon ( ) uses three bars to display the battery level. When the icon displays all three bars, the batteries are full. The XP2i 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 XP2i uses 3 AA batteries.
PAGE 11
Functions  9 Reset If for some reason the XP2i needs to be reset, remove any battery for at least one minute, then reinstall the battery. If the reset is successful, the XP2i 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 XP2i will be set to the default engineering units. !!WARNING: Do not remove or change the batteries in hazardous locations.

Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  10 —— Data Logging with DataLoggerXP What is DataLoggerXP? DataLoggerXP is an optional data logging mode available for the XP2i gauge. You may purchase the DataLoggerXP option with your original order or add it later. With the XP2i’s long battery life, and Ultra Low Power (ULP) mode, you can log data over an entire year, without the need for external power supplies or battery replacements.
PAGE 13
Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  11 DataLoggerXP Terminology Clear ��Removes all stored data from the XP2i memory. Individual runs cannot be removed. Download ��The act of copying stored data from the XP2i to a computer using DataLoggerXP software. Events ��Non-data readings, optionally displayed as part of a run. These include tare values, low battery indications, or logging parameters.

Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  14 XX To Connect to the Gauge 1 Plug the serial cable into the computer and XP2i gauge ports. 2 In the DataLoggerXP main window, click Connect. The program will retrieve the current logging parameters, and then allow downloading, viewing, and saving data, as well as updating the logging parameters. XX Password Protection The password protection feature of the gauge allows you to prevent unauthorized changes to the data logging parameters.
PAGE 17
Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  15 Data Logging Parameters Logging parameters can be set up one of two ways: on a computer connected to an XP2i, or from the XP2i keypad. This second option allows the user to make changes in the logging parameters while in the field. Once the logging parameters have been selected, the gauge can begin recording data. The two parameters that affect data logging (logging interval and logging type) are covered below.

Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  16 Data Management XX To Download Data from the Gauge 1 Connect the gauge to your computer. 2 In the DataLoggerXP main window, click the Download button. Depending on the number of readings, it can take up to 15 seconds to download all the data. Once the data has been downloaded, the View and Save buttons will be available. XX To View a Data Run In the DataLoggerXP main window, click the View button to open the Data View dialog box.
PAGE 19
Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  17 XX To Save a Data Run In either the DataLoggerXP main window or the View Data dialog box, click the Save button. Save button in the DataLoggerXP main window. Save button in the View Data dialog box. You may download one recording run at a time. Each run will be saved to a separate file. The application will first ask for which data run to save, and then the name of the file to save. A file can be saved as either an Excel workbook or comma separated text file (”.

—— Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  18 XP2i DataLoggerXP Gauge Operation When in data logging mode, XP2i provides data logging capability along with many of the features of a standard XP2i. In order to allow operation as a data logger, some of the standard functionality of the standard XP2i is suspended. Maximum Number of Readings An XP2i with the authorized DataLoggerXP option can record up to 32 000 data points.
PAGE 21
Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  19 Keypad Usage The following buttons and button combinations are used to control data logging runs on the XP2i. Where two keys are indicated, the operation is executed by pressing and holding down the first key, then pressing and holding down the second key until the action is completed. Note: Start by turning off the gauge. Then use the following keypad shortcuts, in the order they appear.
PAGE 22
Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  20 XX Units units Pressing and holding the (units) button briefly causes the XP2i to display information about the logging state. If you continue to hold the (units) button, a logging run will begin or end. Immediately after pressing the (units) button, the gauge will display the operating mode as one of these values: The logging memory is Clear, data is empty, and the XP2i is idle. The XP2i is currently logging data. The XP2i is logging in On Demand logging type.
PAGE 23
Data Logging with DataLoggerXP  21 Ultra Low Power (ULP) Mode The XP2i can log for extended periods with Ultra Low Power Mode, activated by the key combinations explained in Keypad Usage on page 19. Ultra Low Power Mode takes readings in Actual Mode, according to the set logging interval. The letters ULP replace the live pressure reading during a recording. You must stop the recording to view the live pressure. To begin or end a recording hold down the (units) button.

Specifications  25 Specifications Accuracy Includes all effects of linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, temperature, and stability for one year. Gauges must be exercised whenever exposed to significant changes in environmental conditions to achieve these specifications, and (if not an absolute model), rezeroed. To exercise a gauge, cycle the gauge between zero (ambient barometric pressure) and the pressure of interest.
