Introduction
Thank you for choosing a SWISS MADE high-precision pressure measurement instrument, made by
HUBER Instrumente AG. In connection with a module, the TM40 is suitable for various adjustment-,
verification and calibration- applications with inert or dry gases. The big battery capacity and the
independent pressure conditioning will help to make your work more comfortable when using the TM40
for field applications.
The TM40 is a modular built pressure measurement instrument for low pressure ranges and consists of a
base device, functioning as an input and display unit, as well as a slide in slot that’s capable of picking up
four different modules. Up to four measurement modules (MM40) or two generator modules (GM40) can
be used. Also a combination of MM40s and GM40s may be used. To be used for measurements, the base
unit has to be equipped with minimum one module.
All entries are made on the device, via the 4.3“ touchscreen display. The base unit is connected with the
modules via a 9Pole-DSub connector that ensures the power supply and the communication between
base unit and module. The pneumatic pressure-generation and the pressure-measurement are conducted
directly in the modules themself. The features of the modules are explained in the corresponding manual
of the modules.
Figurative representations may differ.
Features

Putting Into Operation
Acclimatisation
In the event of a transport from a cold-zone into a warm-zone, condensate
may probably have formed into the device and cause malfunctions. Therefore
the device should have sufficient time to acclimatise to the new ambient
temperature, before putting it into operation
Unboxing
Please carefully keep the original packaging.
In order to ensure a secure transport and to preserve the warranty of the device, we
kindly ask to use the original packaging or a suitable packaging with sufficient padding for
shipment purposes.
Placement
Protect the device of direct sunlight. Ideally, a location should be chosen, where no significant
temperature changes or any strong draft can interfere you measurements.

Module Detection after Switching ON and Module Specific
Information
At start-up, the base unit searches for available modules.
Afterwards a module can be selected by typing on the corresponding field.
The modules are detected once at the start-up of the TM40.
The TM40 has to be turned off in case a module is connected or disconnected, in accordance to
recognise it.
The slide in slot can be selected randomly.
Depending on the module, the start screen will provide the user
with different information about the module
(Please refer to the corresponding manual of the module)

Communication
The TM40 has a USB 2.0 (Mini-B) interface on its front. This interface serves, inter alia, as a transmitter of
logged data. The interface is designed as a VCP. VCP stands for virtual COM port. For applications that
support a serial interface, a serial interface is accordingly emulated. The access on application level
happens like on a physical present interface. Most operating systems will install the VCP-driver
automatically, once the computer is connected.
If the selected module supports a data logger function and output channel of the measured data is set to
„USB“, the measured data will be permanently sent from the TM40 to the connected pc. A terminal
program is needed. Various terminal programs are suitable (for ex. Docklight, HTerm or HyperTerminal).
Eventually the VCP-driver has to be installed manually. We’re pleased to advise you in this case.
