Safety Considerations
WARNING: Please follow the manufacturer's test
procedure whenever possible. Make sure the
pressure to be measured is not outside the range
of the TPI 623 meter.
ALWAYS
• Test the pressure meter before use to ensure it
is operating properly
• Ensure that the connecting hose you are using
is free from kinks or splits
• Double check all connections before testing
NEVER
• Connect the Instrument to an unknown pres-
sure source if the source is twice the working
pressure of the instrument the sensor will be
damaged and may cause injury to the user
• Tamper with the instrument or attempt to
modify it in any way. Otherwise, accident and
injury may occur and the warranty becomes
void.

Step by Step Procedures
Note:
The 623 incorporates a differential manometer.
This means when a single hose is connected to
the (+) port and pressure is applied, the 623 will
read positive pressure. If a single hose is con-
nected to the (-) port and pressure is applied,
the 623 will read a negative pressure. If both
ports are connected to a pressure, the 623 will
read the difference (P1 - P2) between the two.
When performing single pressure measurments
(non-differential) use the positive port and leave
the negative port open.

Step by Step Procedures (continued)
1. Press the 'ON' key and the LCD display will be
activated and automatically zeroed (if it does not
read 0.00 proceed as follows
2. Momentarily Press the key and the display
should zero within +/- 0.01 if not repeat until it
does
3. Connect pressure meter to installation or
equipment to be tested using appropriate hose
connection in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions
4. The pressure reading will appear on the display.
To activate the backlight in poor light conditions
press the key at any time
5. If the reading is erratic or changing activate the
smoothing function by pressing the '=' key
6. To convert the displayed pressure reading to
another engineering unit depress the 'UNIT' key
anytime and scroll through to the desired units of
pressure.

Replace battery as follows:
1. Ensure instrument is switched off
2. Loosen the six cross head screws on the back
of the instrument
3. Remove the back cover
4. Remove old battery
5. Replace with new battery 9V NEDA 1604 or
equivalent
6. Reassemble the instrument in reverse order
from above being sure not to trap any wires
between the two halves of the case
