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.
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.
Functions 3 Functions Units Button Pressing this button causes the XP2i to select the next available unit of pressure measurement. See Pressure Ranges, Display Scales, & Resolution for 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.
Functions 4 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.
Functions 5 Peak Detection and Average On the XP2i, pressing the Peak button causes the display to cycle through the following: HI On the -DD, dual-line XP2i, pressing the Peak button causes the display to cycle through the following: HI . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 shutoff feature can be disabled if desired. Turning on the XP2i by pressing the (on/off ) and (zero) buttons simultaneously will prevent the XP2i from automatically turning off.
Functions 7 Water Density (Inches of Water) The following applies only to models where inch 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.
Functions 8 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.
Functions 9 Internal Data Logging (-DL DataLoggerXP Option) With the DataLoggerXP firmware update option you can record up to six thousand measurements, on an intrinsically safe, fully temperature compensated pressure gauge. With the XP2is long battery life you can take measurements for up to two months, without the need for external power supplies or battery replacements.

Functions 11 XP2i Serial Numbers Serial Number Location The serial number of your XP2i is located on the stem above the pressure fitting. The serial number is also located behind the battery cover under a battery. Serial Numbering System Serial Numbers consist of 6 numbers, with the left most digit representing the year of manufacture. For example: 937834 was manufactured during 2009. The serial number is located both on the stem and behind the batteries.
Specifications 12 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.
