About This Manual
This manual is intended for use by service technicians

UPC5100/UPC5110 pneumatic pressure console.
The UPC5100 portable pneumatic pressure calibrator
and the rack-mounted UPC5110 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.
These instruments utilize a repeatable sensor coupled
to microprocessor-based electronic circuitry and a
selectable unit display system. This provides an
easy-to-read and accurate digital representation of the
measured pressure. This all electro-mechanical device
combines a 7 cu. ft., 2216 PSI cylinder with our
precision ORION-2D vernier. The unit has one test
port and front panel gauges that indicate system
pressure and remaining pressure in the internal
cylinder. A pressure regulator acts as a pressure limiter
so that the operator can not over-pressurize a unit
under test. Fill and test hoses are supplied for the
customer. Standard front panel buttons and switches
provide selection of the desired mode, (pressure or
vacuum), pressure range, push-button zeroing and
internal self-check feature. 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
Utilizing microprocessor technology, the UPC5100 and rack-mounted UPC5110 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:
• Independent switch-selectable pressure ranges.
• Accuracy of each range equal to or better than ±0.05% full scale.
• Both pressure and vacuum calibrations available via front panel switch selection.
• Automatic self-check: Computer-controlled internal circuitry provides automatic maintenance of both zero
and span calibration data to ensure long-term stability and accuracy.
• Digital Display: Large LED digits provide excellent readability under all lighting conditions (also available
with a Liquid Crystal Display).
• Using a manually adjustable regulator, the maximum system input pressure is adjusted to any value higher
(typically 20 to 50%) than the full scale range of the device being tested and, 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 less than 40 pounds.
