Display Screen Start Up
Press and hold POWER button for two seconds to power gauge on. If unit display does not light up, check for
correct battery installation. Startup display will show “JB”, “JUST BETTER”, VER XXX (Version), a loading menu,
followed by either the micron value or the over range indicator “oooooo.”
The loading menu indicates the unit is in initial warm up state. It may take up to 30 seconds for the unit to go
into normal operation mode.
The unit will display “oooooo” when it is at atmospheric pressure, or at a pressure over 100,000 microns. This
indicates an over range condition. When the pressure is at 100,000 microns or lower, the gauge will display
the value.

Battery Status Indicator
When the startup sequence is complete, the BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR will show current battery life status.
While the unit is on, the status is updated once every second. Battery voltage status is as follows:
When the battery voltage drops below 2.4 volts, the battery outline will flash and the unit will beep once per
minute to alert the low battery condition. When battery voltage falls below 2.1 volts, the shutdown timer is
activated. If voltage stays below 2.1 volts for thirty seconds, the HVG-001 will beep once and power off.
Battery Replacement
If unit display does not light up after holding POWER button for two seconds, check for correct battery installation.

Connection Instructions
It is recommended to connect the HVG-001 gauge hose directly to either the high or low side of the system
for the most accurate reading.
To check for a leak using the vacuum pump blank-off valve: a metal hose, o-ring coupler or copper tubing must
be used. Standard hoses permeate and will not hold a vacuum. The gauge reading will increase naturally due
to equalization of pressure. Reading should hold for a minimum of five minutes—a continual increase may
indicate a leak within the system.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Vacuum Sensor
1. Fill brass sensor fitting with a few drops of isopropyl alcohol.
2. Cover the opening with a finger and gently shake to allow alcohol to rinse the sensor.
3. Pour out alcohol and allow sensor to dry for 20 minutes before using gauge.
