coefficient, place the HPM-2002-OBE in the Cal mode using the SELECT button. Then turn the ADJUST
rotary encoder. The Cal light will begin to flash during adjustment and will continue to flash until the Cal mode
rotary encoder. The Cal light will begin to flash during adjustment and will continue to flash until the Cal mode
is exited using the SELECT button.
To perform a full calibration on the HPM-2002-OBE, first use the Zero Coefficient Adjustment Procedure.
Followed by the Midrange Coefficient Adjustment Procedure, and finally perform the Atmosphere Coefficient
Adjustment Procedure. Sensor Coefficients are stored in the Sensor’s EEPROM upon exiting the Cal mode.

GAS Mode
The HPM-2002-OBE can provide true pressure measurements in many gas environments. At pressure
levels where the direct force piezoresistive sensor is operative, the instrument is gas composition independent
and measures the true pressure regardless of gas composition. The Pirani is gas composition sensitive so the
actual composition must be known and the Pirani calibrated in that gas. When the vacuum system’s gas
actual composition must be known and the Pirani calibrated in that gas. When the vacuum system’s gas
composition is dominated by a single gas species (for example, during system venting with an inert gas), the user
can enter a gas selection into the HPM-2002-OBE by rotating the ADJUST rotary encoder. To view the gas

selection, depress the SELECT button until the GAS light is illuminated. The number on the display

Analog Output (0-10V)
The dual (0 - 10V) output option board provides voltage outputs proportional to the HPM-2002-OBE’s
pressure reading. The first channel (pin 5) corresponds to the higher-pressure range (0 - 1024 Torr). The
second channel (pin 7) corresponds to the lower pressure range (0 - 1000 mTorr). The equation below gives the
