BasicOperation
MeterPower
TheHD755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..PresstheDIFbuttonagaintoexitthe
OFFSETfunction.
MIN‐MAX‐AVGModewithElapsedTimer
TheRECORDfunctionrecordsasingle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.TheMin,Max,andAVGdatacannotbeexportedtothePC.
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,recordandprintreadingsfromtheHD755whileitisconnected
directlytoaPC.Refertothedocumentationincludedwiththesoftwareforcompletedetails.

BatteryReplacement
WhenthelowbatteryindicatorBATappearsonthedisplayorifthemeterdoesnotswitchon
whenthePOWERbuttonispressed,itisnecessarytoreplacethebattery.
Toreplacethebattery:
1. Openthebatterycompartmentbyslidingthemeter’srearpanelinthedirectionofthe
embossedarrow.
2. Replacethe9Valkalinebattery
3. Replacethebatterycompartmentcover.

Neverdisposeofusedbatteriesorrechargeablebatteriesinhouseholdwaste.
Asconsumers,usersarelegallyrequiredtotakeusedbatteriestoappropriatecollection
sites,theretailstorewherethebatterieswerepurchased,orwhereverbatteriesaresold.
Disposal:Donotdisposeofthisinstrumentinhouseholdwaste.Theuserisobligatedto
takeend‐of‐lifedevicestoadesignatedcollectionpointforthedisposalofelectricaland
electronicequipment.

OtherBatterySafetyReminders
Neverdisposeofbatteriesinafire.Batteriesmayexplodeorleak.
Nevermixbatterytypes.Alwaysinstallnewbatteriesofthesametype.
