BasicOperation
MeterPower
TheHD750usesa9Vbatteryforpower.IfthemeterdoesnotswitchonwhenthePOWER
buttonispressedorifthedisplayshowsBAT,replacethebattery.
WhenthePOWERbuttonsispressed,themeterperformsashortself‐testandrevertstothe
settingsinplacewhenthemeterwaslastturnedoff.
AutomaticPower‐offFeature
Inordertoconservebatterylife,themeterhasanautomaticpowerofffeature(after20
minutes).Todefeatthisfeature,pressandholdtheHOLDbuttonwhileturningthemeteron.
ReleasetheHOLDbuttonwhen‘n’appearsonthedisplay.Themeterwillnowremainonuntil
theuserturnsitofforuntilthebatteryweakens.NotethattheAutoPowerOFFfeaturewillbe
reactivatedthenexttimethemeteristurnedoffandthenon.
UnitofMeasure
PresstheUNITbuttontoselecttheunitofmeasure.Thismeterofferseleven(11)unitsof
measureaslistedbelow.

ZeroAdjustandOffsetfunction
TheunitmustbekeptintheuprightpositionwhenZEROINGorwhentakingmeasurements.To
ZEROthemeter:Beforeuseandwithoutfittingsattachedtothemeter,pressandholdtheHOLD
buttonfor3secondsoruntilthedisplayshowsallzeroes.
ToOFFSETmeterreadings:PresstheDIFbuttonwhiletakingameasurement.Subsequent
readingswillrepresentthedifferencebetweenthecurrentmeasurementandthemeasurement
thatwasonthedisplaywhentheDIFbuttonwaspressed.
MIN‐MAX‐AVGRecordModewithElapsedTimer
TheRECORDfunctiontracksthemaximum(MAX),minimum(MIN),andaverage(AVG)readings
withatimestamp.Theelapsedtimerisdisplayedonthelowerright‐handcorneroftheLCDand
informstheuserofthetimeaMAXorMINreadingwasrecorded.
1. PresstheRECORDbuttononce.TheRECindicatorwillappearonthedisplayandthe
displayedelapsedtimerwillstart(HH:MM:SSformat[hours:minutes:seconds]).
2. PresstheRECORDbuttonagaintoviewthehighest(MAX)readingrecordedsincethe
RECORDbuttonwasfirstpressed.TheMAXindicatorandmaximumreadingwillappearon
thedisplay.TheelapsedtimerwillshowthetimeoftheMAXevent.
3. PresstheRECORDbuttonagain,theMINindicatorandtheminimumvaluewillappearon
thedisplay.TheelapsedtimerwillshowthetimeoftheMINevent.
4. PresstheRECORDbuttonagain,theAVGindicatorandtheaveragevaluewillappearonthe
display.Theelapsedtimerwillcontinuetorun.
5. Toreturntonormaloperation,pressandholdtheRECORDbuttonuntilthedisplay
indicatorsREC,MAX,etc.switchoff.
NotethatintheRECORDmode,thebacklightandthepowerbuttonsaretheonlyavailable
functions.
USBPCInterface
Themeterhasabuilt‐inUSBportforusewiththeManometerDataAcquisitionsoftware.The
softwareallowstheusertoview,save,export,andprintreadingsfromtheHD750.Refertothe
documentationincludedwiththesoftwareforcompletedetails.
DisplayedErrorCodes
Thefollowingcodesaredisplayedwhenthemeterencountersanerror.
