5. Installation
5.1 Unpacking the instrument
In addition to functional testing, each unit is inspected for appearance prior to leaving the factory.
Upon receipt, please examine the transducer for shipping damage. Report any apparent damage
to the carrier immediately.
In addition to this manual and password information (files on USB drive), you should have:
• One CPT6010 Digital Pressure Transducer in protective netting;
• One six-pin mating Bendix electrical connector if power/comm cable accessory not ordered;
• Any accessories ordered;
• An envelope containing a Calibration Certificate.
Note: The software utility CD was supplied with this manual prior to 2/2014 but is now downloaded
from the Mensor website (see Section 7.2, “Equipment”).

5.3 Configuration
A typical system will consist of an IBM-PC compatible computer with installed driver software,
one or more CPT6010’s, a DC voltage power supply, and the interconnecting cables. The driver
software can be any program configured to operate the appropriate serial interface. Up to 31
CPT6010’s can be connected in parallel using RS-485. Refer to Figure 5.6.3 for an illustration of
two alternate RS-485 wiring arrangements, including multiple CPT6010 operation.
5.4 Mounting
The CPT6010 can be set up in any orientation since the pressure sensor is relatively insensitive to
tilt and vibration. However, excessive motor or machinery vibration of the mounting surface should
be avoided to further ensure stability and accuracy. For the greatest accuracy on transducers with a
full scale range of less than 15 psi, set CPT6010 zero while it is oriented in its operational position.
