Safety Considerations
WARNING: Please follow the manufacture's test procedure whenever
possible. Make sure the pressure to be measured is not outside the
range of the TPI 635/645/655 meter.
General Guidelines
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 pressure 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 be
comes void.
