Ambient temperature Ventilation and pressure compensation Filter elements Ventilation and pressure compensation are carried out with VEGABAR 82 via a filter element. It is air permeable and moisture- blocking. Caution: The filter element causes a time-delayed pressure compensation. When quickly opening/closing the housing cover, the measured value can change for approx.
