1 Safety Instructions
Read the operating manual carefully. Follow all instructions and notices to prevent injury or
damage to property.
Intended use
The digital pressure gauge may only be used for checking, adjusting and calibrating pressure
measuring devices.
The digital pressure gauge must not be used outside the specification or in violation of the
operating instructions.
WARNING
The digital pressure gauge is not a safety component in accordance with Di-
rective 2006/42/EC (Machine Directive).
Never use the device as a safety component.
The operational safety of the device supplied is only guaranteed by intended use. The speci-
fied limits (p. 31) may under no circumstances be exceeded.
This applies in particular to compliance with the permissible pressure range end value and
the permissible temperature range.
WARNING
Exceeding the maximum overload values can lead to material failure of the digital
pressure gauge. This can cause serious damage to health.
Make sure that the overload values are never exceeded.
Qualified personnel
•The personnel in charge of the installation, operation and maintenance of the device
must hold a relevant qualification. This can be based on training or relevant instructions.
General safety instructions
•Degree of protection according to EN 60529:
Ensure that the ambient conditions at the place of use do not exceed the requirements of
the specified degree of protection (p. 31).
•Only use the device in perfect condition. Damaged or faulty devices must be checked im-
mediately and replaced if necessary.
•Do not remove or destroy type plates or other markings on the device, or the warranty is
rendered null and void.

Device Description E2 / D2 / C2
-22 - Ba_Ref-E2D2C2 • 09/2022
2 Device Description
The types E2 / D2 / C2 are digital pressure gauges with actual value and MIN/MAX display.
They have an accuracy of ±0.5% Type E2, ±0.1% Type D2 and ±0.05% Type C2, relative to
the corresponding pressure range end value (FS).
Signals from the pressure measurement cells are recorded at a sampling rate of 10 ms
(100 measurements/s), converted into pressure values and displayed. Thanks to the high
sampling rate, dynamic pressure peaks can also be measured. They are written to the
MIN/MAX memory, which is continuously updated.

Connection and Battery Replacement E2 / D2 / C2
-24 - Ba_Ref-E2D2C2 • 09/2022
4 Connection and Battery Replacement
The digital pressure gauge has a G¼″ (BSPP) male thread and is supplied with batteries fit-
ted. The device is ready for operation after it is switched on.
WARNING
The connection (AF 27) is approved up to a nominal pressure of 1,000 bar.
Observe the nominal pressure specifications of the installed measuring con-
nections and the specified safety factors.
Improper installation of the pressure gauges and the corresponding adapters
can lead to the pressure gauges being torn off.
4.1 Connection
The housing of the digital pressure gauge can be rotated on the pressure connection. When
mounting directly, make sure that no attachments obstruct the rotation.
1. Prepare the measurement setup for connection
to the G¼″ pressure connection.
WARNING
Only use adapters with corresponding nominal
pressure specifications!
2. Make sure that the gasket is correctly seated in
the pressure connection.
3. Carefully turn the digital pressure gauge by
hand into the measurement setup thread.
4. Tighten the pressure connection with an open-
end wrench (AF 27).
WARNING
The mounting must be carried out with a torque of 25 Nm.
5. Align the digital pressure gauge for your application.

E2 / D2 / C2 Connection and Battery Replacement
Technical changes reserved - 25 -
4.2 Battery Replacement
The battery capacity is indicated by the number of bars (0…5 bars) in the battery symbol.
The batteries should be replaced when no bar is visible and the bat-
tery symbol flashes. The digital pressure gauge is still completely
functional.
The batteries must be replaced when the additional message
Lo bAtt appears. The digital pressure gauge is no longer opera-
tional.
1. Switch off the device.
If you have a rubber protection cap for
opening, you can simply remove the rubber
protection cap from the housing.
Otherwise, we recommend that you leave
the protection rubber cap on the housing
during battery replacement.
2. Open the housing:
Completely remove the screws from the
rear cover.
3. Lever the rear cover off the housing.
4. Set the rear cover aside.
5. Replace the batteries (LR6 - AA).
!!! Pay attention to the POLARITY !!!
NO HOUSEHOLD WASTE
The batteries must be disposed of.
6. Check the seat of the gasket in the rear
cover and watch out for signs of damage.
7. Carefully attach the rear cover to the hous-
ing.
8. Align the rear cover with the boreholes.
9. Re-tighten the rear cover screws with
0.6 Nm.

5.1 Display Mode
During switching on, the serial number is displayed. Then the digital
pressure gauge is in display mode and the current measured value is
displayed.
The zero point suppression is 0.1% of the range. Example: Digital
gauges with a pressure range of -1...10 bar only indicate pressures
from 0.010 bar.
Pressure range exceeded / oFL display
The oFL display appears if the current pressure is outside the pres-
sure range (≥ 110% FS) of the digital pressure gauge. If the pressure
drops below this range again, the current measured value is dis-
played.
If the oFL display appears in depressurised state, there is a malfunc-
tion.
Please contact SIKA.
Zero point correction (ZERO)
In case of unwanted deviations in depressurised condition (atmospheric pressure), the zero
point can be corrected manually.
IMPORTANT
The zero point correction sets the current ACTUAL value to zero. If the ZERO
function is activated when pressure is present, the pressure measurement is no
longer carried out against ambient pressure and incorrect measurements will oc-
cur.
