About This Manual
This manual is intended for use by service technicians
r e s p o n s i b l e f o r i n s t a l l i n g a n d s e r v i c i n g
UPC5200/UPC5210 pressure calibrators.
The UPC5200 portable pneumatic pressure calibrator
and the rack-mounted UPC5210 are rugged, compact
instruments manufactured by Condec. They are
designed to provide superior accuracy, range of
calibration and ease of operation when used for the
calibration of a wide variety of pressure sensing and
measuring devices.
This manual has been written to give the user a simple
and clear explanation of how to operate, calibrate and
maintain these instruments.
Before attempting to use either style
pressure calibrator, the following
instructions must be carefully read
and understood by personnel using
the equipment. This is a high-pressure
system. It is strongly recommended that only personnel
formally trained in the use of pneumatic pressure
equipment be permitted to operate it. Potentially
dangerous conditions can be produced through negligent
handling or operation of the console due to the high
pressure cylinder contained within the unit.
These units are strictly for use with pneumatic pressures.
Erroneous readings and potential damage can result from
the introduction of hydraulic fluids into the internal tubing
lines.

1.0 Introduction
The UPC5200/UPC5210 pressure calibrators utilize an extremely repeatable sensor coupled to
microprocessor-based electronic circuitry and a selectable units display system. This provides easily readable
and accurate digital representation of the measured pressure. This all electro-mechanical device utilizes our
precision Orion-3A vernier, which has one test port. Front panel gages tell the operator accumulator pressure, as
well as regulated input pressure. The pressure regulator acts as a pressure limiter so that the operator can adjust
input system pressure to 1/10 of the target value. Fill and test hoses are supplied for the customer. Standard front
panel buttons and switches provide selection of the desired pressure range, push-button zeroing and the unique
internal self-check feature. For field use, the UPC5200 has a separate 83.3 cubic foot, 2,216 psi cylinder to
provide many hours of use.
Utilizing microprocessor technology, the UPC5200 and rack-mounted UPC5210 instruments offer a combination
of features, performance, versatility and reliability not previously available in a single, self-contained pressure
calibration instrument. Some of the features are listed below:
• Three independent switch-selectable pressure ranges per instrument.
• Accuracy of each range equal to or better than ±0.05% Full Scale.
• Both gage and absolute pressure calibration models are available.
• Automatic self-check: Computer-controlled internal circuitry provides automatic maintenance of both zero
and span calibration data to insure long-term stability and accuracy.
• Digital Display: Eliminates parallax, interpolation and operator judgement errors. Large, bright, red LED.
digits provide excellent readability under all lighting conditions (also available with an LCD).
• Using a manually adjustable regulator, the maximum system input pressure is adjusted to any desired value
higher (typically 20 to 50%) than the full scale range of the device being tested. By virtue of this technique,
the unit under test is fully protected from being inadvertently over-pressurized.
• Portable: These compact, self-contained systems are easily carried and operated by only one person. Total
weight is approximately 50 lbs.
• System Calibration: The instruments may be completely calibrated without being removed from the
external case. A separate plug-in calibration console (PN 60109) provides access to the computer when
calibration is to be performed. No manual alignment or potentiometer adjustments are required.
