Using Custom Units (CUSTOM):
The Custom Units setting allows the user to display a volumetric weight by
applying a conversion factor to the pressure reading.
NOTE: The conversion factor must be calculated using Pound per Square
Inch (psi) as the base unit of measure.
Setting the Custom Units feature:
Step 1: Calculate the conversion factor from psi to the desired unit of
measure.
Step 2: Press the On/O button once to enter the main setup menu.
Step 3: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until UNITS is displayed.
Step 4: Press (S) to access the Units setting options.

factor will appear with the rst digit ashing.
Step 7: Press (Z) to change the value of the ashing digit (options: 0-9).
Step 8: Press (S) to accept the ashing digit and advance to the next digit.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 as necessary.
Step 9: After the last digit is accepted by pressing (S), use (Z) to scroll
