Division of
Read these instructions before using the gauge. Configuration
may be easier before installation. Contact the factory for assis-
tance.
These products do not contain user-serviceable parts. Contact
us for repairs, service, or refurbishment.
Gauges must be operated within specified ambient temperature
ranges.
Outdoor or wash down applications require a NEMA 4X gauge or
installation in a NEMA 4X housing.
Use a pressure or vacuum range appropriate for the application.
Use fittings appropriate for the pressure range of the gauge.
Due to the hardness of 316 stainless steel, it is recommended
that a thread sealant be used to ensure leak-free operation.
For contaminated media use an appropriate screen or filter to
keep debris out of gauge port.
Remove system pressures before removing or installing gauge.
Install or remove gauge using a wrench on the hex fitting only.
Do not attempt to turn gauge by forcing the housing.
Good design practice dictates that positive displacement liquid
pumps include protection devices to prevent sensor damage
from pressure spikes, acceleration head, and vacuum extremes.
 Avoid permanent sensor damage! Do not apply vacuum to non-
vacuum gauges or hydraulic vacuum to any gauges.
 Avoid permanent sensor damage! NEVER insert objects into
gauge port or blow out with compressed air.
Gauges are not for oxygen service. Accidental rupture of sensor
diaphragm may cause silicone oil inside sensor to react with
oxygen.
Bipolar ranges read positive pressure and vacuum in the same
units, and zero with the gauge port open.
1000 psi and higher sensor are a sealed reference type. They read
zero with the gauge port open are internally referenced to 14.7 psi.
Functionally similar to gauge reference sensors.
Absolute reference gauges read zero at full vacuum and atmo-
spheric pressure with the gauge port open. With an open gauge
port the readings will vary continuously due to the effects of
barometric pressure.
Range Codes
The range code is part of the gauge model number and indicates
the default range when the gauge is ordered.
Selectable Ranges
Engineering units may be changed to any of those listed in the same
sensor range as shown in the range table.
Conversion
Engineering units are calculated from the factory default unit to the
newly selected units. The ranges listed under the psi sensor range
are rounded off.
The AD series is powered by 8-24 VAC 50/60 Hz or 9-32 VDC.
The type and magnitude of the supply voltage have negligible
effects on the gauge calibration as long as it is within the voltage
ranges stated above. No polarity needs to be observed when con-
necting a power supply. An inexpensive unregulated low voltage AC
or DC power supply can be used.
After the gauge is installed, route the wires away from heat sources
and moving equipment and connect the low-voltage power source
to the gauge wires.
Ensure that the gauge supply voltage does not fall below 8 VACRMS
if AC power is used, or 9 VDC if DC power is used. Operation with
less than these values may cause erratic or erroneous readings.
When operating multiple gauges from the same power supply, refer
to the mA rating in the specifications to ensure adequate power.
Note that standard 24 VAC transformers with small loads often
operate at voltages well over the gauge's 24 VAC limit.
Power-Up
Press and hold the front button for approximately 1 second.
The display is tested, the default full-scale range is indicated, the
full-scale range in the selected units are indicated, the display is
tested again, then the actual pressure and units are displayed.
Power-Up With Zero
This applies to gauge reference models only. Absolute reference
gauges do not use the zero feature since they read atmospheric
pressure under normal conditions.
Be sure the gauge port is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure
and no pressure is applied. The zeroing function is only activated
at each power-up and the stored zero correction is erased when
the gauge is shut off.
Press and hold the front button. The display is tested and then oooo
is displayed. The gauge is now zeroed. Release the button and the
full-scale range in the selected units are indicated, the display is
tested again, then the actual pressure and units are displayed.
Attempting to zero the gauge with pressure greater than approxi-
mately 3% of full-scale pressure or vacuum applied will result in an
error condition, and the display will alternately indicate Err 0 and
the actual measured pressure. The gauge must be powered down
to reset the error condition.
Normal Operation
Following the start-up initialization, the display indicates the pres-
sure reading updated approximately 3 times per second. The gauge
may be left on continuously or shut off as desired.
If excessive vacuum is applied to a pressure-only gauge, the display
will indicate -Err until the vacuum is released.
Applying vacuum to a gauge designed for pressure may damage
the pressure sensor. If excessive pressure is applied (112.5% over
range), an out-of-range indication of 1 – – – or 1.–.–.– will be
displayed depending on model.
Display Backlighting (BL models only)
Display backlighting is on whenever the gauge is on.
The display backlighting will not be apparent under bright lighting
conditions.
Minimum and Maximum Readings
Gauges are normally configured with minimum and maximum
capture functions enabled. One or both can be disabled in the User
Configuration mode.
Minimum and maximum readings are continuously stored and
updated whenever the gauge is on. The stored readings can be
manually cleared if desired. The MAX and MIN memory is also
cleared whenever the gauge is off unless configured to save the
readings.
Press and hold the button for about 1 second until MAX is displayed
alternating with the units. The maximum reading will be continu-
ously updated. The gauge may be left in this mode.
After MAX is displayed, press and hold the button for about 1 sec-
ond until MIN is displayed alternating with the units. The minimum
reading will be continuously updated. The gauge may be left in this
mode. If excessive vacuum is applied to a pressure-only gauge
while in this mode, the display will indicate -Err until the MAX/MIN
readings are cleared.
After MIN is displayed, press and hold the button again for about 1
second until * * * * is displayed. The MAX and MIN memory is not
erased and the gauge returns to normal operation with the display
indicating the current reading.
Press and continue to hold the button until the display indicates clr
MX/MN (about 3 seconds total) and then release the button. Both
maximum and minimum values are cleared and the gauge returns
to the normal mode and displays the current pressure.
Shut-Down
To shut off the gauge manually at any time, press and hold the button
until the display indicates OFF (about 5 seconds) and then release.

Advanced ConfigurationBasic Configuration
Engineering Unit Selection
Engineering unit selection is done via internal buttons to help pre-
vent accidental or unauthorized changes. The selected engineering
unit is stored in non-volatile memory and will be retained even with
the gauge off or batteries removed. The available engineering units
depend on the sensor range and display resolution.
Compound (inHg/PSIG) gauges must be changed to display single-
unit vacuum/pressure readings in the Advanced Configuration mode
before different engineering units can be selected.
The default engineering units are mathematically converted to the
newly selected engineering unit. When the gauge is powered up,
the originally configured range is displayed and then the conversion
with the selected engineering unit is displayed.
To change engineering units remove the rear cover to gain access
to the two internal buttons located near the lower right and left
corners of the circuit board.
With the gauge powered up, press and hold the UP button. Release
the button when the engineering units begin to flash.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the list of engineer-
ing units available for the pressure range of the sensor.
When the desired units are displayed, press and release the front
button to save the selection and return to normal operation.
Note: The gauge will automatically revert to normal operation if no
buttons are operated for approximately 15 seconds.
Replace the rear cover taking care not to pinch the power wires
between the cover and the case.
All gauges are factory calibrated using NIST traceable calibration
equipment. Calibration is not required before using the gauge.
Calibration intervals depend on your quality standards, but annual
re-calibration is customary.
Calibration equipment is not required to zero gauge reference
ranges. Absolute reference ranges may be zeroed with application
of full vacuum.
Span calibration should only be performed using appropriate cali-
bration procedures with calibration standards that are at least four
times more accurate than the gauge being calibrated.
The calibration system must be able to generate and measure pres-
sure/vacuum over the full range of the gauge. A vacuum pump able
to produce a vacuum of 100 microns (0.1 torr or 100 millitorr) or
lower is required for vacuum and absolute gauges.
Connect gauge to a 8-24 VAC 50/60 Hz or 9-32 VDC power supply.
Allow the gauge to equalize to normal room temperature for
approximately 20 minutes before calibration.
Remove the rear cover to gain access to the UP and DOWN buttons
located near the lower right and left corners of the circuit board.

restarted manually or power is removed. Features not related to
calibration are disabled and compound range models are set for the
same engineering units for pressure and for vacuum.
The calibration may be performed in any of the available engineer-
ing units as well as percent (PCT). For greatest accuracy, use the UP
and DOWN buttons to select engineering units for calibration with
highest resolution (highest number of display counts). Press and
release the front button when the appropriate engineering units are
displayed. Suggested units are listed below.
Sensor Suggested units for calibration
5 PSI 5.000 PSI
15 PSI 775.7 MMHG (TORR)
30 PSI 61.08 INHG
50 PSI 50.00 PSI
60 PSI 60.00 PSI
100 PSI 7.031 KG/CM2
200 PSI 407.2 INHG
300 PSI 610.8 INHG
500 PSI 500.0 PSI
1000 PSI 70.31 KG/CM2
2000 PSI 4072 INHG
3000 PSI 6108 INHG
5000 PSI 5000 PSI
Any 100.00 PCT (percent)
The display will then indicate the currently applied pressure in the
engineering units selected for calibration.
UP and DOWN Button Operation
Each time one of the calibration buttons is pressed and released
quickly, a small change is made to the digitized pressure signal. It
may take more than one of these small changes to result in a single
digit change on the display.
To make larger changes, press and hold the appropriate calibration
button. After about one second, the display will begin to change
continuously. Release the button to stop. Then make fine adjust-
ments by pressing and quickly releasing the calibration buttons as
previously described.
Gauge Reference Pressure Gauges
Apply zero pressure by venting the gauge port to atmosphere. The
character display will alternate between ZERO and CAL. Adjust for
a display indication of zero using the UP and the DOWN buttons.
Apply full-scale pressure. The character display will alternate
between +SPAN and CAL. Adjust for a display indication of full-
scale pressure using the UP and the DOWN buttons.
Apply 50% full-scale pressure. The character display will alternate
between +MID and CAL. Adjust for a display indication equal to
50% of full-scale pressure using the UP and the DOWN buttons.
Gauge Reference Vacuum Gauges
Apply zero pressure by venting the gauge port to atmosphere. The
character display will alternate between ZERO and CAL. Adjust for
a display indication of zero using the UP and the DOWN buttons.
Apply full-scale vacuum. The character display will alternate
between +SPAN and CAL. Adjust for a display indication of full-
scale vacuum using the UP and the DOWN buttons.
Apply 50% full-scale vacuum. The character display will alternate
between +MID and CAL. Adjust for a display indication equal to
50% of full-scale vacuum using the UP and the DOWN buttons.
Absolute Reference Gauges
Apply full vacuum to the gauge. The character display will alternate
between ZERO and CAL. Press the UP and DOWN buttons to obtain
a display indication of zero.
Apply full-scale pressure. The character display will alternate
between +SPAN and CAL. Press the UP and DOWN buttons to obtain
a display indication equal to full-scale pressure.
Apply 50% of full-scale pressure. The lower display will alternate
between +MID and CAL. Press the UP and DOWN buttons to obtain
an indication equal to 50% of full-scale pressure.
Compound and Bipolar Gauges
In addition to the steps described above for pressure gauges, apply
full-scale vacuum. The character display will alternate between
-SPAN and CAL. Adjust for a display indication of actual applied
vacuum using the UP and the DOWN buttons.
For bipolar and –30.00inHg/+15.00psig compound range models
only, apply 50% full-scale vacuum. The character display will alter-
nate between -MID and CAL. Adjust for a display indication equal
to 50% of full-scale vacuum using the UP and the DOWN buttons.
Save Calibration
Once the adjustments are complete, press and hold the front button
until the display indicates - - - - then release the button to store
the calibration parameters in non-volatile memory and restart the
gauge.
Verify the pressure indications at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%
of full scale.
Replace the rear cover taking care not to pinch the wires between
the cover and the case.
Remove the rear cover to access the buttons located near the lower
right and left corners of the circuit board.

Before the unit enters the view or change pass code mode, the dis-
play initially indicates ' _ _ _ _ ' with the first underscore blinking,
and with CFGPC or CALPC on the character display.
Note: The gauge will automatically revert to normal operation if no
buttons are operated for approximately 15 seconds.
To cancel and return to normal operation, press and release the
POWER button without entering any pass code characters.
1. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the left-most digit to 1.
2. Press and release the front button to move to the next position.
The 1 will remain, and the second position will be blinking.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select 2.
4. Press and release the front button to index to the next position.
12 will remain, and the third position will be blinking.
5. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select 2.
6. Press and release the front button to move to the next position.
