GettingStarted
MeterPowerNotes:
oTheinternalbatteries(6x1.5VAAA)maintaintheclocktime/dateaccuracy.
oTheACadaptorpowerstheunitforallotheroperation.
oTimeandDateiskeptaccurateevenwhentheACadaptorisdisconnectedaslongas
freshbatteriesareinstalled.
oFornormaloperation,pleaseinstallbatteriesANDconnecttheunittoanACsourcevia
theACadaptor.
oTheunitdoesnothaveapowerswitch.
BatteryWarning,InstallationandReplacement
1. Whenthe lowbatteryiconappearsinthedisplay,thebatteriesareweakandshould

Measurements
Whenthemeterisproperlypowered,mounted,configured,andwiredtothetransducersas
describedearlier,themetercanbegintobeusedtoaccuratelydisplaypressurereadings.
Themeter’sLCDshowstheChannel1inputreadingonthetop,theChannel2readinginthe
center,andtheChannel3readingonthebottomasshownbelow.Ifthex100indicatoris
flashingonthedisplay,multiplythedisplayedreadingbyafactorof100toobtainthecorrect
reading.
TheunitofmeasureshowntotherightoftheChannel2readingappliestoallchannels.Select

Datalogging
1. OpentheleftsidedoorandinsertanSDcard
SDConsiderations:
oTheSDcardshouldbeatleast1GBincapacity.4GBisthemaximumsizerecommended,
althoughacardofupto16GBcanbeaccommodated.
oDonotusememorycardsformattedbyothermetersorcameras.UsetheSDcard
formattingprocedureincludedintheSETMODEsectionofthismanual.
oIfaSDmemorycardisnotinstalled,anerrormessagewillappearinthedisplay.
Displayederrormessages:
Thememorycardisfullorthereisaproblemwiththecard
Thebatteryislowanddataloggingisdisabled
TheSDcardisnotinserted
2. ProgramthemeterasdescribedintheSETUPMODEsectionofthisguide.
3. PresstheLOGGERbuttonfor>2secondstobeginlogging.‘DATALOGGER’willappearinthe
displayandthemeterwillbeepeachtimedataisrecorded(ifbeeperisenabledinSET
mode).
4. Tostopdatalogging,presstheLOGGERbuttonfor>2seconds.‘DATALOGGER’willchange
to‘DATA’andthemeterwillcountdownthroughtherecordeddatalistreadingbyreading.

SDCardDataStructure
1. WhentheSDcardisfirstinsertedintothedataloggerthefolderPSB01iscreatedonthe
card.
2. ThefirstdataloggingsessionwillthencreateafilePSB01001.xls.Alldatawillbesavedto
thisfileuntilthenumberofcolumnsreaches30,000.
3. After30,000columns,anewfile(PSB01002.xls)iscreated.Thisisrepeatedevery30,000
columnsuntilPSB01099.xls.Atthispointanewfolder,PSB02iscreatedandtheprocessis
repeated;PSB10isthefinalfolder.

TransferringDatatoaPC
1. RemovethememorycardfromthedataloggerandplugitintotheSDcardslotonthePC.
ForPCsthatdonotincludeanSDcardreader,externalSDcardreadersaregenerally
availableandcanbeconnectedtothePC’sUSBjack.
2. LaunchExcel®andopenthedatafileonthememorycardfromwithinthespreadsheet
