5 Instructions
1. Press the On / Off key to switch the pressure gauge on. When switched on, the device will run a short
self-diagnostic programme.
2. Before usage, press and hold the HOLD key for 2 seconds to zero the device. The counter will be
reset. The display will show “0000”.
3. Press the HOLD key to save the current measurement. The HOLD icon will appear on the top left side
of the display. If the pressure value exceeds the range, an error message will appear in the display.
Press the HOLD key once again to get to the standard setting.
4. In MAX/MIN mode, the user can see the highest (MAX), lowest (MIN) and average (AVG) value.
1. Press the REC key until REC appears in the display (apart from the Power and Backlight
function, no function will be available). The relative time clock starts counting.
2. Press REC again. MAX will appear in the display. You will now see the maximum pressure and
the relative time at which it was recorded.
3. Press the REC key to see the MIN value along with the relative time.
4. Press REC to see the average value along with the relative time.
5. Press REC once again to continue the MAC/MIN/AVG measurements.
6. To finish the MAX/MIN/AVG setting, press and hold the REC key for 3 seconds.
5. To switch off the backlight, press the Backlight key. The backlight will stay on for 40 seconds.
6. The device will switch off automatically after 20 seconds to save battery life.
The Auto Power Off function can be disabled as follows:
Press the HOLD key and switch on the device. If “n” is indicated, the Auto Power Off function is
deactivated. After switching off, the device will return to its standard setting.
7. By pressing the UNIT key, you can select from 11 available units of measurement.
8. If you press the DIF key, the difference between two pressure values will be measured by zeroing the
value first measured.
6 Interface
The device is equipped with a serial RS-232 interface. Using the included software, you can transfer the
measured data to your PC as graphics or charts.
7 Error messages
Error messages are displayed when the device detects internal errors. All keys will be without function.
The following errors are possible:
1. Err. 1: The current pressure exceeds the measurement range.
2. Err. 2: The current pressure is below the measurement range.
When the battery capacity is too low, “BAT” will be indicated in the display. Please replace the battery.

8 Disposal
For the disposal of batteries, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the
contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to
collection points designed for that purpose.
In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or
give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.
