PRESSURE METER

GENERAL OPERATION
When the instrument is first switched on
using the ON/OFF key, the top line of the
display shows in sequence the date, the time,
the model version number, the battery status
and the pressure units. The bottom line of
the display shows a countdown number that
starts at 10 and reduces to zero. At zero the
meter display two lines of data.
The display shows 2 lines of data and all
data can be printed via an optional infrared
printer. The printed data can be 'live' data,
'frozen’ data or ‘stored’ data. 255 sets of
tests can be stored in non-volatile memory.

1. BEFORE USING THE
METER FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Unscrew the bottom two screws, remove the
cover and fit a new battery in the battery
compartment. Take great care to ensure
that the battery is fitted with the correct
battery polarity. Then replace the battery
cover and screws, taking care not to over
tighten them. Always check that the meter is
working correctly after replacing the battery.
Set the meter’s correct time, date and units.
These are then stored when the meter is
switched off.

2. BEFORE USING THE
METER EVERY TIME:
After switch on, check that date and time are
correct and battery power is sufficient and
the displayed units are the ones required.
SAFETY WARNING
Never connect to a pressure source where
you are not sure what the maximum
pressure might be. Always ensure that the
meter you are using is correctly rated for the
pressure that you intend to measure.
Excessive pressure (> 5 times nominal
range) can permanently damage the meter’s
pressure sensor.

4. MEASURING
Make sure you do not exceed the meter’s
operating specifications.
•Do not exceed the meter’s internal
temperature operating range
•Do not put the meter on a hot surface
When taking critical draft measurements
always re-zero the meter in the position you
are taking the readings and hold the meter
still during the test.

taking single channel measurements (pressure
or vacuum). Only use the right hand port for

If the pressure being measured exceeds the
meter’s design range the display will show
OR for “over-range”
When taking draft readings at very low
pressure or draft levels, for maximum
accuracy, re-zero the meter in the
orientation that it is being used. This
eliminated gravity effects on the very
sensitive pressure transducer. It is also
recommend that the meter is switched on
for at least five minutes and then re-
zeroed before taking such sensitive
measurements.
