●+/-200 mbar range
●8 user selectable scales
●Temperature compensated
●One button zeroing
●Long battery life
●Robust case with integrally moulded protective boot
●Integral magnets for hands-free operation
The meter is controlled using 2 buttons.
The two buttons have dual functions as follows:
To switch ON press and hold until all the display segments are oper-
ated and 3200 appears on the display.
The display will then show the following sequence:
1.0 the firmware version
HPA the units currently set
ZERO the zeroing sequence
04
03
02
01
00
00.0 the measured value
The meter is now ready to use.
To switch OFF press and hold until OFF appears on the display.
(During this period the meter will display the units currently set).
Press and hold until ZERO appears on the display. The meter will
then do a zero countdown for a count of 4.

Quickly press and release .
The display will show the units currently set eg HPA.
Now press to scroll through the selection of units available.
When the units of choice are displayed, press to select.
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. Always check that the meter is
working correctly after replacing the battery.

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.
NOTE: Use the input for all single input measurement soft pressure or
vacuum. Only use the input when taking a differential measurement.

6 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.
Always use the top right hand port (Port 1) for taking single channel
measurements (pressure or vacuum). Only use the left hand port for
differential measurements.
If the pressure being measured exceeds the meter’s design range the display
will show ---- 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 recommended that the meter is switched on for at least
five minutes and then re-zeroed before taking such sensitive measurements.

8 Specification
NOTE: The nominal range is plus and minus 200 mbar. The meter
does not fully auto-range and so when Pa units are selected the full
operating range cannot be displayed and the user must select an
alternative range for measurements above 9999 Pa.
ACCURACY: ± 0.5 mbar or ± 0.5% of reading whichever is greater. Maxi-
mum over-range without damaging the sensor is 1000 mbar.
BATTERY LIFE: Greater than 250 hours continuous operation with a 9 V
PP3 alkaline battery.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE: 0oC to 50oC
AMBIENT HUMIDITY: 10% RH to 90% RH non-condensing
DIMENSIONS:
Weight: 295 grams with battery
Handset: 160mm x 80mm x 40mm (180mm including spigots)

Power Supply: 9 Volt PP3 alkaline battery
European Council Directive 89/336/EEC requires electronic equipment not
to generate electromagnetic disturbances exceeding defined levels and have
adequate immunity levels for normal operation. Specific standards
applicable to this meter are stated below.
As there are electrical products in use pre-dating this Directive, they may
emit excess electromagnetic radiation levels and, occasionally, it may be
appropriate to check the meter before use by:
Use the normal start up sequence in the location where the meter will be
used.
Switch on all localized electrical equipment capable of causing interference.
Check all reading are as expected. A level of disturbance is acceptable.
If not acceptable, adjust the meter’s position to minimize interference or
switch off, if possible, the offending equipment during your test.
At the time of writing this manual (April 2016) Kane International Ltd are
not aware of any field based situation where such interference has occurred
and this advice is only given to satisfy the requirements of the Directive.
Certification
This product has been tested for compliance with the following generic
standards:
EN 61000-6-3 : 2011
EN 61000-6-1 : 2007
and is certified to be compliant
Specification EC/EMC/KI/KANE3200/1 details the specific test configuration,
performance and conditions of use.

10 Cold weather precautions
11 End of life disposal
It is important you keep your product in a warm place overnight
Electronic devices that become really cold, by being left in a vehicle over-
night, suffer when taken into a warm room the next morning.
Condensation may form which can affect the product’s performance &
cause permanent damage
Electrochemical sensors can be affected by condensation or water.
If you think that your product is affected by condensation or water ingress,
it may be possible to rectify the problem yourself. Simple leave the product
running in a warm place for a few hours (use mains adapter/battery charger
if needed). If, after doing this, you still experience problems please contact
our Customer Service centres.
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires
countries in the EU to maximise collection and environrmentally responsible
processing of these items.
Products are now labelled with a crossed out wheeled bin symbol to remind
you that they can be recycled.
Please Note: Batteries used in this instrument should be disposed of
in accordance with current legislation and local guidelines.
