1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Carefully read these operating instructions completely
before operating this instrument. This is necessary to
avoid damage to it, as well as for user-safety.
Only use the instrument for the purpose for which it was
designed.
Only use the instrument in dry rooms in which there is no
risk of explosion.
Protect the instrument from dust, moisture and vapours.
Use a slightly moist lint-free cloth to clean the instrument.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.
Take care that no liquid penetrates in through the hous-
ing openings, as such penetration would result in dam-
age to Sensor.
Do not open the unit.
2 PURPOSE AND CHARACTERISTICS
The sensor is used for measuring absolute pressure values.
The measured values are transferred to a terminal device,
e.g. to a table computer, smartphone, etc., via Bluetooth or
USB.
Caution!

sensor on and off.
If the sensor is to be connected via USB, it is not necessary
to press the power button.

3.2 Functional elements
The device includes a pressure sensor for measuring the ab-
solute pressure.
The face of the sensor has a Luer-Lock connection fitting to
which the supplied syringe and the silicone tube can be con-
nected. The pressure sensor can also be used in other ex-
periment set-ups if a suitable connector is used.
3.3 USB port
The battery, which is permanently installed in the sensor, is
charged via the type C USB port. Furthermore, communica-
tion with the terminal device (Computer/Tablet) takes place
via this interface.
4 NOTES ON OPERATION
The device fulfils all of the technical requirements that are
compiled in current EC guidelines. The characteristics of this
product qualify it for the CE mark.
This instrument is only to be put into operation under special-
ist supervision in a controlled electromagnetic environment in
research, educational and training facilities (schools, universi-
ties, institutes and laboratories).
The individual connecting leads are each not to be longer
than 2 m.
The instrument can be so influenced by electrostatic charges
and other electromagnetic phenomena (HF, bursts, indirect
lightning discharges) that it no longer works within the given
specifications. Carry out the following measures to reduce or
eliminate the effect of such disturbance: Ensure potential
equalization at the PC (especially with Laptops). Use screen-
ing.
5 HANDLING
This section describes the start-up of the sensor and the re-
cording of measurement data. Please read this section thor-
oughly in order to avoid failures or operating errors.
5.1 Charging process
Use a USB-C cable to connect the sensor to a computer or
USB charger (not included).
During the charging process, the battery charge LED lights
up red. When the charging process is complete, the battery
charge LED lights up green. The charging time for a com-
pletely discharged battery is 3 hours maximum.
Disconnect the charger at the latest four hours af-
ter the completion of the charging process. Other-
wise, the service life of the battery may be nega-
tively affected.
5.2 Start-up
Switch on the sensor by pressing the power button for more
than 3s. Now the Bluetooth LED flashes red. Start the soft-
ware and select the sensor.
If the sensor is to be used via the USB interface, it does not
need to be switched on. The sensor is connected directly to
the end device using the supplied USB cable.
A 9-digit code is
printed on the back of
the sensor (Fig.2).
The last 4 digits of
the code are dis-
played in the soft-
ware as the sensor
designation (Fig.3).
This allows an exact
assignment of the
sensors
possible with the software. Fig. 2
Fig. 3
Selection of the sensor via the Bluetooth interface
Make sure that the Bluetooth interface is activated on the
terminal device (PC/Tablet/Smartphone) and that the soft-
ware is allowed to access the interface.
After the sensor has been selected in the software, the LED
flashes green to indicate that the connection has been estab-
lished correctly. After the sensor has been coupled with the
software, the sensor is no longer visible to other users in the
software, and therefore can no longer be selected.
If the sensor is switched on and not connected, it switches off
automatically after 5 minutes.
Selection of the sensor via the USB interface
For this purpose the sensor must be plugged into the USB
port of the end device. It is not necessary to switch on the
sensor. The sensor is automatically recognized and dis-
played. It can be selected and connected directly.
