Operation
The subsequent sections tell you how to operate the
Product. Push to turn on the Product.
The analog bar graph at the bottom of the display shows
the applied-pressure level relative to the full range of the
gauge.
Note
If you record a Tare value, the pressure shown
is not the actual pressure applied.
How to Setup the Product
Before you use the product, it is necessary to configure it
for your application. Push to go to the Setup menu.
Each time is pushed, the display goes to the
subsequent function. Push or to change the
parameter value. When a parameter is set, push to
exit the configuration menu or to move to the next
parameter.
Engineering Units
The Product’s default engineering unit shows psi. To
change this, push and to move through the 23
standard engineering units plus one custom unit/scale.
When the necessary unit shows, push or .
Pressure now shows in the chosen engineering units.
See the Specifications section for a list of available
engineering units. See the Supervisory Mode section for
instructions to set up custom units.
Set Auto Off
Auto Off can be set in 1-minute increments from 1 to 30
minutes or you can turn off the function for continuous
Product operation. The Product is configured for 30
minutes. Push and to set the necessary interval.
The “off” position is at the low end of the selections, less
than 1 minute.
Show Battery Voltage
Actual battery voltage and a percent-of-life bargraph
show the battery charge. No adjustments are made in this
parameter.
Display Actual Temperature
The Product is temperature compensated This parameter
shows the temperature measured by the internal sensor.
Push or to show degrees F or C.
Set Damping
Selections are “on” and “off” . Damping smooths
readings from pulsating pressure sources.

Pressure Gauge
Operation

Set Sample Rate
This function finds how often pressure is sampled and the
display is updated. Selections are 0.5, 1, 3, and 10
samples/second. Note that 10/second gives the fastest
response time.
Set Tare
Use this function to set a constant offset value which is
then subtracted from the measured pressure. For
example, if a tare is set at 30 psi, and the measured
pressure is 37 psi, 7 psi is shown.
A pressure of 27 psi is shown as -3 psi.
Push and to set the tare value. The value, is based
on the engineering units and resolution selected for
display. Tare value can be set to the maximum range of
the gauge.
For safety, the bar graph always shows the actual
pressure based on the full range of the gauge regardless
of the tare position. This is done to make sure that even
with a “0” reading pressure is being applied to the gauge.
Function Lock
When set, access to each of the settable parameters
above can be turned “off” to prevent unauthorized
configuration changes. This is done with password
protection in Supervisory mode. Push to access
Supervisory mode or to go back to normal operation.
Supervisory Mode
If necessary, each user-configurable parameter can be
edited when you receive the Product. Some parameters
are locked and must be unlocked to configure them. Use
Supervisory mode to do this.
When you are in the Configure menu, and FUnC LOCK is
shown, it means that there are locked parameters.
To disable function lock:
1. Push . 0 PWRD is then shown.
2. The password “101” is required to unlock
Supervisory mode. Push to put in the password
entry. Hold or down to move faster through the
selections by a factor of 10. When you stop the
counter, push and again to move forward or
backward by a factor of 1. The password is factory
set and cannot be changed.
3. Push .
From this point each parameter can be locked or
unlocked. Push and to select UnLOC or LOC for

each parameter. To move to the next parameter, push
.
You can access, lock, or unlock these functions:
•Zero function (enable/disable)
•Set pressure units (enable/disable)
•Auto shutdown adjustment (enable/disable)
•Damping settings (enable/disable)
•Sample rate setting (enable/disable)
•Tare setting (enable/disable)
•Custom engineering units (set scale factor)
When a function is locked, it cannot be accessed or
changed from its current condition until you go to
Supervisory Mode and unlock it.
Available Pressure Ranges
Available pressure ranges are listed in the Specifications
section.
How to Set a Custom Engineering Unit or Scale
The last menu selection in Supervisory mode is
SET FACTR. You can set a multiplier factor from 0.001 to
100 to make a custom scale. The set factor is multiplied
by the psi measured and the result is shown.
Example: 40 psi is the equivalent of 1000 lbs of product in
a tank. You want to show the product weight with a 100
psi gauge. If you set a factor of 25, 40 psi pressure would
show as 1000 (40 x 25). The engineering unit shown is
Cust (custom).
Battery Life
Battery life is approximately 1500 hours (60 days) of
continuous operation with the backlight off. With
intermittent operation, batteries could last a year or more.
When the battery voltage is low, the low-battery icon ()
shows on the top left of the display. To replace the
batteries, see the How to Change the Batteries section.
