Introduction
The device measures Gauge/Differential Pressure from -55.4inH20 to+55.4 inH20 (
±
2 psi) , it
features 11 selectable units of measure: inH20 , psi , bar , mbar, kPa , inHg , mmHg ,ozin2,ftH20 ,
cmH20, kgcm2. Additional features include Data Hold. Auto Power Off disabled , and an RS-232 for
capturing reading to a PC using optional software . Careful use of this meter will provide years of
reliable service.

Operation
1.Power
Press the ON/OFF button to turn power on or off. The meter will perform a short self-test when
turned on. The meter defaults to the setting used during the last operation.
2.Zero Adjust and Offset
Before use and without fittings attached to the meter, press the HOLD button for more than 2
seconds to zero the meter .The meter will reset and display “oooo ”
from right to left. 0.000 will be display.
If it is desired to offset the meter and display, press the DIF button while taking a measurement
Subsequent reading will be the difference between the current measurement and the measurement
that was on the display when the DIF button was pressed.
3.Data Hold
Press the HOLD button momentarily to freeze the displayed reading. The ‘HOLD’ icon will appear
on the upper left-hand side of the display. If the pressure value is over the range, error codes will
show on the screen.
Press the HOLD button again to return to normal operation.

4.Record
The MAX/MIN mode allows the user to view only the highest (MAX), lowest (MIN) or average
(AVG) readings with relative time stamp.
1. Press the REC button once and REC appears on the display (All other functions are locked out
except for Power & Backlight). The relative time clock also appears in the secondary display and
starts counting.
2. Press the REC Button again and MAX appears on the display .The display is now showing the
maximum pressure and relative time that it was recorded.
3. Press the REC button to display the minimum MIN reading with the relative time.
4. Press the REC button to display the average value AVG reading with the relative time.
5. Press the REC button again to continue recording MAX/MIN /AVG measurements.
6. To exit the MIN/MAX/AVG mode, press the REC button for 3 seconds to return to normal operation.
5.Backlight Display
Press the Backlight button to turn on the backlight. It will remain on for 40 seconds.
6. Automatic Power Off
The meter will automatically shut off after 20 minutes to conserve battery life. To disable Auto Power
Off , hold down the HOLD button and turn on the meter on , An “n” will appear in the display indicating that
Auto Power Off mode is disabled. The meter will return to normal operation when it is turned off.
7.Units
Press the Unit button momentarily and the meter will cycle through the 11 available units of measure as
indicated by the cursor on the bottom of the display.
RS-232
The meter has a built–in RS-232 serial port for use with the optional PC interface Data Acquisition
Software/Hardware kit.
Error Codes
An error message will appear on the display if the
meter fails an internal diagnostic test. And it will freeze all the buttons.
1. Err.1: Pressure value is over the range.
2. Err.2: Pressure value is below the range.
3. Err.3: DIF function, the differential pressure value is over range.
4. Err4: DIF function, the differential pressure value is below range.
Battery Replacement
When the battery power falls low, “BAT” will appear on the LCD. Replace the 9V battery .
