PPC4 Pressure
Controller/Calibrator
The best control precision available—to give you the widest usable range

PPC4, Fluke Calibration’s fifth
generation pressure controller/
calibrator, continues to break
new ground with an unprecedented combination of high end
performance, operational versatility and long term reliability.
Now you can choose yourlocal user interface to best fit
your application and budget. If
you are a bench-top user, the
new graphic color display withpoint-and-click navigation in 11
languages will streamline yourpressure calibration and testing tasks. Or, if PPC4 spends
most of its time interfaced witha computer, choose the basic
front panel. Both the basic PPC4and PPC4‑ui with advanced local
user interface include standard
remote interfaces and a front
panel USB connection.
PPC4 includes individuallycharacterized, quartz reference
pressure transducer (Q-RPT)
modules to precisely measure
and control pressure. Fluke
Calibration’s Q-RPTs come with achoice of three performance andcost levels, from the unparalleled
precision of Premium class tothe new, economical Full Scale
Standard class.
The AutoRange™ feature
supports infinite ranging, quickly
and simply optimizing speed,
measurement uncertainty,
control limits and safety features
for the exact range specified by
the user.
PPC4 takes the guess work outof uncertainty determination. It
has the ability to calculate anddisplay measurement uncertainty real timeerror. PPC4’s dynamic control
precision turndown is the key toextreme rangeability.

Broad workload coverage
PPC4’s open architecture allows
nearly limitless system configurations to adapt to your specificapplication’s requirements. With
PPC4 you have one controller
with a complete and affordable
solution.

Q-RPT quartz reference pressuretransducers deliver premium performance
PPC4’s outstanding pressure
measurement specifications are
made possible by Fluke Calibration’s exclusive quartz reference
pressure transducer (Q-RPT)
modules.
Q-RPTs measure pressure bymeasuring the change in thenatural oscillating frequency ofa quartz crystal with pressure
induced stress. To be qualified
for use in a Q-RPT module, eachtransducer is individually evaluated and characterized using
automated primary pressure
standards. Only transducers
exhibiting required levels of linearity, repeatability and stability
make it. A proprietary compensation model, derived from 20+
years experience with thousandsof quartz pressure transducers, isapplied to optimize the metrological characteristics. Full Scale
Standard (f), Standard (s) andPremium (p) Q-RPT modules areavailable to fit your performanceand budgetary requirements (seepage 10).
Q-RPT modules integrate thequartz transducer into a rigid,
standardized assembly that
protects the critical measuring elements from undesiredconnecting stresses. Modules
include valves to support AutoZeroing, measurement modechanges and switching of theactive Q-RPT.
Dynamic atmospheric pressurecompensation, using an independent on-board barometer,
allows instantaneous switching
between absolute, gauge andbidirectional gauge modes at any
time with no significant effect on
measurement uncertainty. The
barometer isused only to measure the small
variations in atmospheric pressure that occur during gauge
mode operation, so its absolute
error
and drift over time do notcontribute to measurement
uncertainty, and it does not
require formal
calibration. No additional
hardware or options are needed
to support both absolute andgauge modes with a single
Q-RPT.

Q-RPT module advantages
In addition to outstanding metrologicalcharacteristics, rugged Q-RPT modules
offer the advantages of:• Negligible warm-up time
• No gas species dependence• Quartz element isolated from test 		
medium• Minimal sensitivity to orientation

Infinite Ranging and
AutoRange
There’s a lot more to covering
a wide range of test devices
with a single pressure controller
than percent-of-reading measurement uncertainty. Infinite
Ranging and AutoRange are
significant new steps in making
single pressure controllers andmonitors cover a broad rangeof unit under test (UUT) ranges
without compromise.
AutoRange automaticallyadjusts all operating parameters
to the exact user specified range
without requiring operator
judgment. It protects against
accidental overpressure by setting upper limit alarm and shutoff and it allows frequently used
operating setups (unit, mode,
range) to be preset and saved for
instant recall.
In addition to range specificmeasurement uncertainty, PPC4
offers the full pressure control
and feature adaptability that areneeded for true rangeability intest and calibration applications.

Infinite Ranging gives PPC4
unprecedented versatility
Because of Infinite Ranging, PPC4 canadapt to a wide variety of devices to betested. With the easy-to-use AutoRange
function, a few simple key strokes or asingle remote command string at thestart of a test adapt every feature of thecontroller to optimize it for a specific user
specified range. Just enter the maximum
pressure, the measurement mode and, if
desired, the full scale specification of the
UUT, and:• Q-RPT is selected. If there are several
Q-RPTs in PPC4’s system, the optimum
Q-RPT to cover the defined range is
automatically identified and selected.
• Unit of measure is set.
• Absolute, gauge or bidirectional gaugemeasurement mode is activated.
• Display resolution is adjusted to theappropriate level.
• Pressure control limits are set to fit therange of operation.
• Overpressure limits are adjusted toautomatically protect the unit under
test for the actual range of operation.
• Measurement uncertainty is reduced
proportionally to the selected range(Full Scale Standard and Premium Class
Q-RPTs only).

PPC4 for bench top and computer

Adaptive local user interface
With PPC4 you choose the local
user interface to best fit yourapplication. For the bench top
user, the powerful advanceduser interface offers a color
graphic display with point-andclicknavigation. For computer
controlled installations, savecost with the basic user interface
designed for occasional use.

System expansion

Basic local user interface for thecomputer controlled environment

Whatever PPC4 interface you
choose, both offer a breadth oflatitude in putting together an
automated pressure calibration
system. A PPC4 controller can be
configured with one, two or nointernal Q-RPT modules. Up totwo external Q-RPTs containedin a Fluke Calibration RPM4
Reference Pressure Monitor canalso be easily integrated into thesystem.
When used as an external
device, the RPM4 is connectedby a 9-pin serial cable, which
communicates via RS-232. The
RPM4 Q-RPTs then become partof PPC4 system and are managed by PPC4 transparently tothe user. There is only one test
connection for the system’s fullrange of operation, eliminating
the need for external valving or
multiple test ports required bytraditional solutions.

Wide pressure range
PPC4 controls pressure using
Fluke Calibration’s patented, positive shut-off pressure control.
Positive shut-off pressure control
is recognized for its high reliability, very wide dynamic range andminimal gas consumption foreven greater cost savings.
Thanks to positive shut-off
pressure control, a PPC4 pressure controller has both the
speed and precision to control
pressure ranges in a 50:1 turndown ratio with a single pressure
supply and a single controlledpressure output. PPC4 offers
0.002 % of reading control
down to 2‌ % of the controller’s
maximum pressure. This allows
PPC4 to cover a very wide range
without the deterioration indelivered pressure uncertainty at
the low end that is found in othercontrollers.
PPC4’s pressure control
module owes its reliability to theuse of low power solenoid valves
with less than 0.5 mm displacement used at very low operating
frequency.
Fifth generation positive
shut-off pressure control also
features improved low absolutepressure precision and supply
shut-off capability to allow lower
ultimate absolute pressureswhen setting zero.
