BEAMEX MC6 - Working with an MC6 family calibrator and the ePG

Quick-Reference Guide for using the ePG together with other Beamex products - 2
1. Connect an MC6 family calibrator to your ePG using a USB Type-A to
Type-C communication cable.
2. Power both devices on (ePG will power itself on automatically when the
USB cable is connected to the calibrator).
3. From MC6 Home View, open Settings > Controller Presets.
4. Set the following:
• Connection Inferface: shows the connected ePG’s with their serial
numbers. Select the one you want to communicate with.
• Controller Type: Beamex ePG
• Control Mode: according to your needs (Shut off or Continuous)
• Reference Module: select the pressure module of the MC6 family
calibrator that you want to use as a reference (This can be any internal
or external pressure module that is available). The ePG will not operate if
no reference pressure module is available at all.
Working with an MC6 family calibrator
and the ePG
When MC6 family calibrator is used to control the ePG, the reference pressure
readings are taken from one of the MC6 family calibrator’s internal or external
pressure modules.
The selected reference pressure module range sets the available setpoint range
for the ePG, however not in a way, that the setpoint range would become larger
than normal ePG range. Examples:
• With P6C, the ePG provides the lower setpoint limit (-0.9 bar) and the
pressure module provides the upper limit (6 bar)
• With P60, the pressure module limits the lower setpoint limit to 0 bar and the
ePG provides the upper limit (20 bar)
The selected reference pressure module will be used in all MC6 operational
modes, with one exception: the selected Input Port/Function in Documenting
Calibrator in Controlled mode will permanently override the setting in Controller
Presets.
The selected reference pressure module along with the controller’s name are
visible on all the buttons and dialogues, where the controller can be selected
(see examples below).
