INTRODUCTION
Sper Scientic Manometer SD Card Loggers read differential
pressure in air and in non-corrosive and non-ionized gas but
they are not to be used with liquids. They record data with
date and time onto standard SD memory cards (like a digital
camera). When full, simply exchange SD cards for unlimited
data storage. The removable SD card is easy to transport and
insert into your computer’s memory card slot or SD card read-
er. Uploads pre-formatted data to Excel, without the need for
additional software and cables. Additional SD cards are read-
ily available in a variety of memory sizes. The meter comes
fully calibrated from the factory. N.I.S.T. traceable recalibration
is available from Sper Scientic.

PoFF - Auto Power Off
bEEP - Touch-Tone On/Off
dec - Set SD card decimal type
Sdf - Format SD memory
Note…
The setup functions can be performed under any
parameter, but not while utilizing the datalogger function.
Once selections are saved, the meter will default to the
selected preferences.
