Modular High-Precision Pressure Indicator  

WIKA has developed and manufactured pressure and temperature measuring instruments for more than 50 years. Our top ranking in the world market is due to devotion to first class quality.

One of the latest products for test and calibration applications is the modular sensor system CPG 8000 with up to 4 pressure sensors inside. Each sensor has its own pressure connection at the back of the system and all ranges lower than 400 bar are protected by an overpressure safety device.  Pressure ranges from 0.25 bar to 2760 bar are available with 0.01% precision provided by utilizing the Paroscientific Digiquartz® sensors. Due to its modular design, the CPG 8000 can be optimally adapted to the customer’s requirements.

The CPG 8000 is available either as desk top or as a 19 “ plug-in case. The large TFT-display features up to 4 windows so that important information can be viewed simultaneously.  The PowerPC-Board guarantees fast and accurate data processing performance. A user friendly membrane keyboard, a multitude of useful selections and the menu-driven operation ensure a maximum degree of operator convenience and functionality.

Available functions including MIN, MAX, HOLD, ZERO, AVERAGE, PRESSURE-RATE, and LOGGER, 8 programmable switch-over contacts, and the multi-window system (up to 4 windows) provide a great deal of application flexibility.

Complex testing systems, like the WIKA Leak Testing Systems which are based on the CPG 8000, can be configured.  The instrument can be integrated into existing systems via the  IEEE-488.2 or RS-232 digital interfaces. As for the software, WIKA can provide either LabVIEW® drivers or the WIKA calibration and documentation software, EasyCal, for the easy calibration of pressure measuring instruments in accordance with EN 10204 3.1.B. The EasyCal Software includes guided calibration by a “Calibration-wizard”, data handling and storage under the WINDOWS-based MS-ACCESS® and generation of certificates which can be printed out.

A special benefit provided by this system is the fact that it can be retro-fitted at any time in order to meet new or changed technical requirements (modification, additional sensor, etc.).
