2.2.3 Zero cal.
If pressure does not indicate zero when fully vented condition, touch to zeroing.
Zeroing function only works when 0 ±5% F.S. range.
Always open the Vent valve and press the Zero key after approximately 10 seconds as it may
affect calibration when there is residual pressure. If the zero function not works even pressed
zero button, please contact the manufacturer or authorized agent.

2.2.4 Absolute/Gauge mode change (When Absolute option installed)
Touch the “Pressure” in the upper left to select Absolute more and Gauge mode. When
Absolute is selected, the combined output of the internal absolute pressure sensor and the
gauge pressure sensor is shown, and when Gauge is selected, only the values of the gauge
pressure sensor excluding the absolute pressure sensor are output.
2.2.5 Absolute pressure offsetting (When Absolute option installed)
When Absolute pressure option installed, the absolute pressure sensor can make offsetting
from the absolute calibration menu, and if touch the white square box, it can make offsetting
the current value to reference standard value. Enter the standard value to offsetting the
absolute value. If the offset adjustment value needs to be initialized, it can be initialized by
touching the Reset button.

2.3 Electrical Signal measurements for pressure transmitter
To measure electrical signals from the pressure
transmitter and power the transmitter, slide your finger
to the lower screen and slide to the right to move
the screen with a "click" sound (relay working).
Change the order of the screens as shown below.
The content is explained in Chapter 2.4.
WARNING
The pressure transmitter's electrical measurement
mode screen provides power to the transmitter,
which reduces battery life. If not using the electrical
measurement of the pressure transmitter, you
should return to the default screen, which is the
main screen.

This function is available in measurement mode.
To make measurement mode, close the vent valve completely clockwise
after zeroing and connecting the plumbing to the pressure port. Press
‘Start’ to see the accumulated maximum, minimum and Average for the
time being measured, and press 'Start' once more displays the current
accumulated value and no longer displays the accumulated value.
Press ‘Reset’ to initialize all values indicating "0". If ‘reset’ is pressed with
Start enabled, it will ‘reset’ and immediately start the maximum/minimum
measurement mode again.
1) Touch then select Max & Min
2) Touch to start measure
3) Touch to reset the values
This function is available in measurement mode.
Leak test needs to perform after confirming that there is no leak in PCS-
P100. Connect sample to test port and close the vent valve then pressurize
until tested pressure. Wait until the pressure stabilizes and press Start. The
start button is activated green to start the leak test. The test time, start
pressure, end pressure, changed pressure, and rate of change per minute
are displayed. Press start button to stop the test and it displays the test
result. Press start button again will reset the current test value and start the
new leak test.
1) Touch then select Leak Test

The pressure switch test shows the pressure at which the pressure switch is
operated (on or close), the pressure at which it is released (off or open) and the
hysteresis while increasing the pressure.
Both Normal Close and Normal Open can be measured
automatically without selection, and mechanical and electronic pressure switches
are also available, but an external power supply is required if electronic.
To start the test, close the vent valve and pressurize slowly. When the pressure
switch is activated during pressurization, the activated pressure is displayed, and
stop pressurize and slowly open the vent valve to reduce the pressure. The switch
operates at specific pressure to show the pressure value and hysteresis. After
pressed reset button, it can test again.
To set pressure or switch contact pressure, using the hand pump with volume
controller to precise pressure control. Adjust the pressure switch to verify that the
switch is operating.
