M2 Series Instruction Manual 9R000045-A APR2007 Data Logging Data Logging can be used to record pressure measurements. Two record modes are supported: automatic and manual. In automatic mode, a pressure value is captured every 5 seconds for 20 minutes, resulting in 240 stored values. In manual mode, a pressure value is captured each time the PRGM key is pressed up to 240 values.
M2 Series Instruction Manual 9R000045-A APR2007 Leak Test The Leak Test feature allows the user to determine the leak rate in the pneumatic system being monitored. Once configured, Leak Test monitors the measured pressure over time and displays the leak rate in the pressure units per minute at the conclusion of the test.
M2 Series Instruction Manual 9R000045-A APR2007 Re-Calibration The Manometer can be re-calibrated in the field for zero, span, and linearity. The proper primary standards must be available prior to calibrating the Manometer. These standards should meet the accuracy requirements for your company or industry. Meriam...
