2. Short Overview
2. Short Overview
The CPD8500 digital deadweight tester is a digital primary pressure standard, which combines the metrological performances of
traditional deadweight testers with the convenience of digital interface and transfer standards. It can be used to calibrate a variety
of precision pressure devices such as pressure controllers, calibrators, indicators and transducers in either absolute or gauge
pressure modes. The CPD8500 has two different chassis and multiple head options to cover absolute and gauge pressure types
with a high accuracy class. The optional internal or external barometer allows easy zeroing and pressure type emulation.
The CPD8500 digital deadweight tester’s measuring principle lies in the fundamental equation defining pressure:
P = F / A
It is based on the connection of a piston-cylinder assembly, whose surface area A is perfectly known, with a high accuracy
electronic measuring cell, which measures the force F.
Pressure is applied on the piston, which turns it linearly into a perfectly proportional force that is transferred to the measuring cell.
The measuring cell permanently measures the pressure-generated force. It uses the force applied and creates an imbalance in a
magnetic field. The electrical power generated to restore the magnetic field’s balance is interpreted by a microprocessor to display
a stable pressure value.

Components
2.2.1
Base
The base is composed of:
■ The measuring load cell, which measures the force applied by the head
■ The Environmental Monitoring Module
■ The electronic assembly which ensures stable pressure calculation, the display as well as remote communication
■ Optional internal barometric reference for pressure emulation
■ Precision vacuum sensor (absolute base only) for detection of stable vacuum pressure
■ The lubrication valves to automatically switch the lubrication circuit of the measuring head from atmospheric pressure to the
measured pressure
2.2.2
CPS8500 Measuring Head
The measuring head CPS8500 is designed for containing, operating and protecting the piston-cylinder assembly. The measuring
heads are designed to operate with pure gas with the piston cylinder being lubricated with gas only for absolute versions and gas
or oil (depending on the range) for gauge versions. The measuring heads are available in various versions:
■ Model 610 - absolute head
■ Model 110 - low pressure gauge head
■ Model 111 - medium pressure gauge head
■ Model 410 - high pressure gauge head
Each measuring head is characterized by a nominal coefficient, Kn. This is a conversion factor specific to each measuring head,
representing the pressure value per kilogram converted in proportion to the head’s cross sectional area. This conversion factor is
either represented in bar/ kg or psi/kg.
2.2.3
Environmental Monitoring Module
The Environmental Monitoring Module (EMM) accurately detects the ambient conditions and provide feedback to the electronic
assembly inside the Base for easy adaptation of measurements corresponding to any changes in ambient conditions. The EMM
consists of an ambient pressure, temperature and relative humidity sensor. The EMM continuously monitors the change in ambient
conditions in real time. Whenever these conditions vary in proportions that might noticeably alter the measuring performance, the
CPD8500 recommends the user to perform a span calibration for the internal load cell, this is explained in section 6.4.1.4.
2.2.4
Drive Motor
Stable pressure measurement requires the piston-cylinder assembly inside the measuring head to spin at a fixed rate. The
CPD8500 supports either a brushed DC or a brushless DC motor.
2.3
Turning On
Apply power to the power connector on the rear of the base of the instrument with the included power cord, remove any plastic
plugs from the rear panel pressure ports, and press the power switch to ON. The system will go through an initialization process,
which takes about 1 minute, and then a display will appear similar to the screen shown below.

Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment caused by hazardous media
Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. oxygen, acetylene, flammable or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g.
corrosive, toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive), and also with refrigeration plants and compressors, there is a danger of
physical injuries and damage to property and the environment.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high temperature and under high pressure or vacuum may
be present at the instrument.
▶ For these media, in addition to all standard regulations, the appropriate existing codes or regulations must also be
followed.
▶ Wear the requisite protective equipment (see chapter 3.6 “Personal protective equipment”).
CAUTION
Damage to the instrument
When working on open electrical circuits (printed circuit boards) there is a risk of damaging sensitive electronic
components through electrostatic discharge.
▶ The correct use of grounded working surfaces and personal armbands is required.
5.1
Mounting
The Base must be set up on a solid, stable and level desk top surface. To assure stability and accuracy, avoid mounting the
instrument on surfaces subject to motor or machinery vibration and far away from doors, windows, heating systems and air
conditioning vents.
CAUTION
Avoid any vibrations and direct solar rays. Any significant temperature fluctuations would make the
instrument unstable. Do not use the CPD8500 in explosive atmospheres, permanently humid or dusty
environments.
5.2
Leveling
The leveling of the CPD8500 can be verified with the biaxial bubble levels present on the top of the base (Figure 5.2). Repeatable
measurement results can only be obtained if the CPD8500 is leveled horizontally. The leveling feet and the bubble levels ensure
the alignment of the instrument according to the mounting surface.
The alignment of the CPD8500 can be adjusted by screwing/ rotating the leveling feet at the maximum, then unscrewing the
leveling foot (or feet) which is (are) opposed to the bubble and to the center of the bubble level. The instrument is in the correct
horizontal position when both the air bubbles are in the middle of the levels. Several leveling stages are usually necessary to reach
the horizontal position.

lubricated with oil. Using a syringe, add lubrication oil to the head by unscrewing one of the hex screws on the measuring head.
The level of the sebacate oil needs to be measured from the front of the head. For normal operation and lubrication of the piston
inside the measuring head, it is recommend that the oil level be half of the oil column (Figure 5.3.2-F).
Figure 5.3.2-F Adding Oil to the Gauge Head
The piston lubrication oil recommended for measuring heads with Kn 1 or 2 bar/ Kg is Drosera. Sebacate
oil must be used for measuring heads with higher Kn.

Units and Pressure Type
The Units button is always displayed. When the units button is pressed a selection of imperial and metric units will be displayed on
the right (Figure 6.4.1.2-A). The units menu is categorized by Imperial and Metric units. Further pressure units of each category can
be navigated by the page forward [
] and backward [
] keys.
The current pressure type is displayed by the Pressure Type button in the Home App. When an optional internal/ external
barometric reference is installed, the native gauge instrument can emulate absolute pressure using the barometric reference.
However for a native absolute instrument with an absolute base and an absolute head, the instrument can work in either gauge
or absolute mode depending on the rear panel reference port connection. If the pressure reference port is left open to the
atmosphere, the instrument measures gauge pressure, alternatively if the reference port is connected to a vacuum pump, the
instrument can only measure absolute pressures. Both emulation and native pressure type can be activated simply by pressing
the Pressure Type button. The emulation pressure type is highlighted in gold to distinguish from the native mode (Figure 6.4.1.2-B)

Zero
The Zero button [
] in the Home App allows the user to perform a single point calibration to adjust the zero point of the
internal load cell of the instrument. The Zero calibration must be performed, if after power up, the user notices a slight drift. This
drift can be attributed to a variety of reasons like temperature drifts, changes in ambient conditions, changes in leveling of the
instrument and/or its location. Table 6.4.1.4 displays different scenarios requiring Zero and Span calibration.
The procedure for performing the Zero calibration is different for absolute and gauge mode. Figure 6.4.1.3 shows the Zero button in
the Home App.

WARNING!
In order to obtain accurate pressure measurements, the user must check that the display indicates stable zero,
before starting any measurements.
6.4.1.3.1
Zeroing in Gauge Mode or Emulated Gauge Mode
This procedure is valid only when the pressure type of the instrument is set to Gauge. This can be done for following combinations
in the instrument:
■ A gauge base with a gauge head
■ An absolute base with an absolute head with vacuum reference ports open to atmosphere.
■ An absolute base with a gauge adapted absolute head
Pressing the Zero button initiates a zeroing sequence as shown by Figure 6.4.1.3.1. The current pressure reading turns gray
during the process to indicate a non valid pressure reading. The status of the zeroing sequence is displayed on the right side of the
screen. During the zeroing sequence, the status icon represents that the load cell is busy.
Figure 6.4.1.3.1 Zeroing in Gauge Mode
6.4.1.3.2
Zeroing in Absolute Mode
This procedure is valid only when the pressure type of the instrument is set to Absolute. This can be done when an absolute head
is installed on an absolute base and the operation is carried out in native pressure mode. The Zero button is inaccessible (grayed)
until a stable vacuum pressure is applied on the reference of the instrument and the vacuum sensor displays a value less than 20
pascals and greater than 2 pascals. Vacuum pump recommendations and connections are mentioned in Section 5.

6.4.1.4
Span
The Span button [
] in the Home App allows the user to perform a single point calibration to adjust the span of the internal
load cell of the instrument. The span calibration process loads a calibration mass located inside the instrument on the load cell to
readjust the span of the cell. Figure 6.4.1.4-B shows the Span button turns orange [
] when the Environmental Monitoring
Module detects a change in the environment conditions outside the preset tolerance values. In this event, the user must perform
the Span calibration by pressing the Span button. The status of the Span sequence can not be interrupted and the status of the
process can be seen on the right side of the screen (Figure 6.4.1.4-C). The pressure reading turns gray during this time to indicate
an invalid value. Table 6.4.1.4 displays different scenarios requiring Zero and Span calibration.

Commands must be sent in ASCII format and terminated with either a carriage return (), linefeed (), or both. Commands
are not case sensitive. Each query returns a response. If an error is detected the response will include an error flag.
Command or Query field: Unless otherwise specified, commands are typically converted to queries by appending a question mark
to the command. Table 7.10 lists all of the CPD8500 command or query keywords.
Data field: The data field is either in ASCII {string} or numeric {value} form. In the case of multiple data fields, commas are required
to separate the fields. Queries do not have a data field. String (text) or value (numeric) data are acceptable in any of the following
formats:
Examples of {string} data: ON, OFF, mBar, inHg
Examples of {value} data: 1, 1.0, -5.678, 25.68324e-5

Command Set Definitions
In this manual a data entry made up of alpha characters is defined as a string, as opposed to data containing only numbers, such
as “Enter 1 for ON or 0 for OFF” where 1 and 0 are defined as values.
Command: Any command or query listed in Table 7.6.4. For commands that take boolean data the following strings are
acceptable:
0
1
False
True
No
Yes
Off
On
Separator: Space (SP).
Data: ASCII representations of numbers, {value}, or alpha characters, {string}, data as defined above. When sending code a literal
variable replaces the brackets and the enclosed character(s) shown in the following examples.
Termination: Linefeed (LF) or carriage return (CR) is used to signal the end of a command statement. For IEEE-488.2 operation
“EOI” is an acceptable alternative.
Always send commands in one of the following formats:
1. [Command] [Termination];
2. [Command] [Separator] [Data] [Termination];
3. Queries are special instructions in the form: [Command?] [Termination] where the question mark, “?”, immediately precedes the
terminator.
When a valid query is received, the CPD8500 will return {data} terminated by CR and LF. Floating point data is returned in the

CPD8500 Command Set
The CPD8500 emulates the remote communication used in its predecessor CPD8000 and DPG5, DPG8 and DPG10.
7.7.1
Command and Query Format
Commands must be sent in ASCII format and terminated with either a carriage return (), linefeed (), or both. Commands
are not case sensitive. Each query returns a response. If an error is detected the response will include an error flag.
Command or Query field: Unless otherwise specified, commands are typically converted to queries by appending a question mark
to the command. Table 7.7.3 lists all of the CPD8500 command or query keywords.
7.7.2
Command Set Definitions
In this manual a data entry made up of alpha characters is defined as a string, as opposed to data containing only numbers, such
as “Enter 1 for ON or 0 for OFF” where 1 and 0 are defined as values.
Command: Any command or query listed in Table 7.7.3. The commands, which are indicated with ‘=’ (query & return) can be
used either to read or to determine a value.
Separator: Space (SP).
Data: ASCII representations of numbers, {value}, or alpha characters, {string}, data as defined above. When sending code a literal
variable replaces the brackets and the enclosed character(s) shown in the following examples.
Termination: Linefeed (LF) or carriage return (CR) is used to signal the end of a command statement. Therefore, the message is a
character chain, with CR and LF marking the end of the chain.
When a valid query is received, the CPD8500 will return {data} terminated by CR and LF.
When a command is not supported, the received message is answered back and followed by ?
Status of the instrument: When the CPD8500 is performing the calibration, the zeroing or the configuration of the DPM, no other
command are valid. The CPD8500 answer STS=1 until the action in progress is finished.
The command STS can be used to check if one the action mentioned is completed (STS=0) or not (STS=1). The command ERR
should be used to check if the action succeed (ERR=0) or not.

8. Maintenance and Recalibration
For contact details, please see chapter 1 “General information” or the back page of the operating instructions.
8.1
Maintenance
The CPD8500 was designed for maintenance-free operation. User maintenance is not recommended, beyond replacement of
parts listed in Table 8.1.2. If you have questions not covered by this manual, call 1-800-984-4200 (USA only), or 1-512-396-4200
for assistance, or send an email to [email protected].
8.1.1
Beyond the Warranty
Take advantage of Mensor’s expert product care. Mensor provides complete maintenance and calibration services, available for
a nominal fee. Our service staff is knowledgeable in the innermost details of all of our instruments. We maintain units that are in
operation in many different industries and in a variety of applications, and by users with a wide range of requirements. Many of
these instruments have been in service for over twenty years, and continue to produce excellent results. Returning your instrument
to Mensor for service benefits you in several ways:
• Our extensive knowledge of the instrument assures you that it will receive expert care.
• In many cases we can economically upgrade an older instrument to the latest improvements.
• Servicing our own instruments which are used in “real world” applications keeps us informed as to the most frequent services
required. We use this knowledge in our continuing effort to design better and more robust instruments.
• Repair or replacement of the CPD8500 chassis, module and measurement transducers will be available up to 7 years after the
production life cycle of the product, pending external vendor parts or equivalent parts availability. The production life cycle is
defined as the time from the product series launch to the announcement of discontinuation (typically 8 to 10 years).
• All repairs associated with the chassis or internal modules should be performed by Mensor due to the complexity of performing
these repairs. Replacement of measurement transducers can be done at the customer’s site.

8.2.2
Environment
For maximum accuracy, allow the CPD8500 to warm up a minimum of 15 minutes in ambient temperature within the compensated
range prior to a calibration. In addition, the instrument should be at rest on a stable platform that is free of excessive vibration and
shock.
8.2.3
Pressure Standards
Mensor recommends the use of appropriately accurate primary pressure standards when calibrating this instrument. Such
standards should be sufficient so that when the techniques of the ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement
(GUM) are applied, the instrument meets its accuracy statements as required by ISO/IEC 17025:2005, or other applicable
standards.
8. Maintenance and Recalibration
WIKA operating instructions digital deadweight tester, model CPD8500
PN 0019408001A 12/2018 EN
EN
8.2.4
Media
The recommended calibration medium is dry nitrogen or clean dry instrument air for the absolute CPD8500. For the gauge
CPD8500, it is recommended to calibrate the measuring head in clean dry air and lubricating the measuring head with
recommended lubricating oil mentioned in Section 5.3.2. A height variation between the standard and the CPD8500 can cause
errors. A calculation should be made to compensate for this difference. This compensation can be done in Section 8.2.8 Reference
Level.
WARNING!
Before proceeding with calibration on any components inside the CPD8500, it is essential to set the Local Gravity.
This is a critical parameter for accurate calibration results. Refer to section 8.2.9 Reference Level for detailed
instructions.
8.2.5
Calibration Data
The Calibration Data Application is where the calibration data for each component (measurement head, temperature probe,
EMM components, optional internal barometer and optional internal vacuum sensor) of the instrument is stored and amended.
Each calibration data consists of the serial number (S/N) and Pressure Type (if relevant) can be seen in this screen. The date of
calibration can be entered by pressing the corresponding button and entering the date with the keypad. Pressing the Check [
] button confirms the date entry. The certificate name and number can be entered by pressing the corresponding button. This

Calibration Application
The Calibration Application (Figure 8.2.6-A) provides a place to adjust or perform the calibration of the different
components inside the CPD8500. Depending on the type of component, it provides the user an option to perform a
single point, two point or up to eleven point linearization (Figure 8.2.6-B). Regardless of the calibration sequence,
the type of calibration can be either “As Found” or “Live” (Figure 8.2.6-C) and can be accessed within the menu of
each calibration sequence. The primary screen in the Calibration App allows the selection of the desired component/
device (Measuring head, temperature probe, ambient pressure, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, optional
internal barometer and the vacuum sensor) by pressing the corresponding line. After the device selection, a selection
for calibration sequence is required (Figure 8.2.6-B). At all times within the Calibration App, the current device and
the sequence are indicated at the bottom left of the screen. Pressing the Back [
] and Next [
] buttons exit
the current calibration routine and move to the previous or next screen respectively.

One Point Calibration
A single point calibration of the selected device/component can be accomplished by pressing “One Point Cal” in the calibration
sequence selection screen.
The “As Found” calibration button allows the user to enter a “true” reading from the Reference standard in the “Reference” button
and calibrate the device by entering an “as found” reading in the “Reading” button that is within tolerance limits to the Reference
value(Figure 8.2.6.1-A). The “Reading” button is grayed out until a value is entered in the “Reference” button.
The “Live” calibration button actively captures the current reading measured by the device and the “Reading” button acts like a
label. The calibration is achieved in the “Live” mode by entering the “true” value from the Reference that is within the tolerance limits
to the current device value displayed in the “Reading” label. The device specific units can be chosen by clicking the button next to
the device reading (Figure 8.2.6.1-B).
The values entered can be reseted and restored to factory defaults by pressing the “Reset” button or “Restore Factory Cal” button
respectively (Figure 8.2.6.1-C). The calibration can be saved by pressing the “Save” button (Figure 8.2.6.1-D). The instrument will
then prompt with the question “Save Cal Data?”. Pressing OK [
] in this screen will save the calibration to the memory of the
device or instrument. The tolerance limits for various devices/components inside the CPD8500 are mentioned in the Table 8.2.6.1.

8.2.6.3
Linearization
The linearization calibration sequence provides a place to record upscale and downscale calibration data and to linearize each
device using that data. An “As Found” or “Live” calibration can be performed in either the upscale or upscale and downscale
direction using anywhere from three to eleven points across the complete range (Figure 8.2.6.3-A). The record of the readings from
the reference standard and the corresponding reading from the instrument’s device/component can be recorded and transcribed
into the linearization Matrix. The menu also allows the user to plot the linearization matrix into a graph for a visual display of the
linearity curve of the device. Furthermore, the curve can also be displayed in terms of its segment, slope and intercept information.
The Linearization menu pages can be navigated by Next [
] and Back [
] buttons to access main settings, linearization
table, graph and curve.
Linearization calibration sequence is only available for measuring head, head temperature probe, internal barometer
and internal vacuum transducer.
Figure 8.2.6.3-A Linearization Settings
Page one of the linearization sequence provides a place for user to enter the settings for the linearization including type of
calibration (As Found/Live), calibration cycles (Upscale/Downscale), number of points (3-11) and units of calibration. The
“Pressure Type” button can be toggled between Gauge and Absolute if a pressure device is being linearized. The “Restore Factory
Linearity” button overwrites the factory linearity for the active device.
Page two of the linearization sequence is the Linearization Matrix. The menu automatically populates the screen with equidistant
increments from low to high values corresponding to the range of the active device. Each value from the reference standard can be
entered under the “Reference” column, corresponding upscale and downscale readings from the device can be entered under the
respective “Reading” columns.
In “As Found” mode, simply enter the reference & reading values by pressing the number and a keypad will appear where the
number can be entered. Press the check mark [
] to accept each value. Figure 8.2.6.3-B shows typical linearity values for the
head temperature probe.
In “Live” mode, simply apply the necessary pressure or temperature to reach the nominal linearity point and then add enter the
“true” reference value in the corresponding “Reference” cell. Press the check mark [
] to accept each value. The values must
be within the tolerance limits of each other to be accepted.

Reference Level
The Reference Level Application provides an automated way to calculate the reference level offset between a device
being tested and the CPD8500, based on
■ Media (gas) type
■ Height: the difference between the device under test and the transducers in the CPD8500
(Difference = DUT - CPD8500)
As an example, if the device under test (DUT) is 10 inches above the CPD8500, enter +10 in “Height” button with
the “Imperial” units
■ Gas Temperature
■ Local Gravity
■ Gas Density: the density of the pressure media
The Reference Level application is placed under the password protected area of the operator interface to safeguard against
inadvertent activation. It is intended to be used to accurately measure the pressure at an external source that is at a different
elevation from the CPD8500 sensing that pressure.
The Reference Level App allows for presets to be saved for pressure medias; nitrogen and dry air with input methods in both
imperial and metric units. To enable a preset, simply press the “Nitrogen” or “Dry Air” button. To create custom parameters, simply
enter the individual values in the “Custom” button.
These four parameters are used to calculate the pressure that is a result of the different elevations. It should not be used when
calibrating CPD8500. The Reference Level should be set at zero before calibrating the CPD8500.
The reference level should not be active when calibrating CPD8500. The reference level should be set
at zero before calibrating the CPD8500. Difference in height between the laboratory standard and the
CPD8500 during calibration should be factored into the uncertainty analysis.
Figure 8.2.9 shows the Reference Level screen. The height, gas temperature, local gravity and gas density can be entered here
based on the specific setup of the system.

11.1 Barometric Reference Sensor
The CPD8500 can be ordered with an internal barometric reference sensor. It is a very stable, absolute pressure transducer, used
to accurately measure local atmospheric pressure. It is used to display the barometric pressure (reading appears on the bottom
right side of the display) or as a barometric reference for absolute emulation. The barometric reference sensor is installed inside
the CPD8500 base.
11.1.1 Absolute Pressure Emulation
In the Home Application (main screen) a gauge instrument will indicate “Gauge” in the Pressure Type button (this is the default
mode). When the Pressure Type button is pressed the button label will toggle to “Absolute” and the color of the button turns yellow.
This change in color is an indication that the instrument is in emulation mode.
In the absolute emulation mode the atmospheric pressure reading from the barometric reference transducer is added to the gauge
pressure reading of the instrument to emulate an absolute pressure. The instrument is only able to emulate absolute pressures
above atmospheric pressure. Sub-atmospheric measurement is not possible.
11.1.2 Emulation Mode Accuracy
The accuracy in emulation mode is different for absolute and gauge emulation mode.
The barometric reference has six significant digits and has a guaranteed drift of 0.0000041 psi over a 24 hour period.
The absolute uncertainty of the barometric reference must be considered in the emulated absolute pressure uncertainty.
11.1.3 Barometric Reference Calibration
The Barometric Reference Transducer can be calibrated in exactly the same manner as the other installed components as
described in Section 8.2 Recalibration. Alternatively the barometric reference can be calibrated outside of the instrument using a
calibration sled or adapter (section 11.9).
11.2 Vacuum Transducer
The vacuum transducer is installed inside the absolute CPD8500 base. The vacuum transducer is used inside the instrument to
measure residual pressure inside the reference chamber, when performing absolute mode measurements. The vacuum transducer
is a highly stable vacuum transducer which enables performing a Zero calibration on the absolute CPD8500. Figure 11.2 shows
the vacuum transducer outside the instrument.

11.3 Absolute Accessory Kit
The CPD8500 Absolute base accepts two styles of absolute heads: low pressure (1-5 bar) and high pressure (10-20 bar). The
low pressure heads feature three KF-16 flanges which are used to connect to vacuum, vent, and working pressure, and the
high pressure heads feature a DH1500 port. The accessories included with a CPD8500 Absolute base contain the necessary
components to adapting any of these heads (Figure 11.3). This accessory kit includes the following components:
■ Pressure fittings
⇒ KF-16 to DH1500 Port Adapter
⇒ DH1500 Port to 7/16-20 Female Adapter

⇒ Silicone Tubing for Calibration of Environmental Measuring Module
Pressure fittings are included to adapt an absolute head to a customer’s system as needed. Vacuum Components are common to
both measuring heads. KF-16 centering rings with sintered filters are recommended for use near the head connections to prevent
contamination of the piston-cylinder assembly. The Vacuum Metering Kit is included to allow fine control of vacuum pressure. A
reference pressure of less than 2 Pa can often result in device malfunction. The Vent Filter Kit is included to vent the head pressure
to atmospheric pressure through a fine coalescing filter to prevent contamination. .
The 12mm Wrench is for use with DH1500 male fittings (not provided), the 15 mm Wrench is for use with the DH1500 port to
7/16-20 female adapter and the 5mm hex driver is for installing and removing measuring heads and the protective cover which
prevents contamination when no head is installed.

11.8 EMM Calibration Sled
The Environmental Monitoring Module (EMM) can be calibrated both inside and outside the instrument. For detailed instructions on
calibrating the EMM inside CPD8500, follow instructions in Section 8.2.6.
To calibrate the EMM outside the CPD8500, a calibration sled or adapter is required for the EMM to communicate with a computer.
The primary function of the calibration sled is to allow communication of the sled via RS-232 port. The calibration can be done
by reading the EMM remotely by the PC and comparing the values of each sub component with the reference standard. The
calibration sled also requires a 12 V DC power source.
