SCREENS MAIN SCREENS – There can be up to four main screens, depending on the model. They are PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, COMBINED and INPUTS. The available screens can be toggled through using Pressure Display with Min/Max Option selected Temperature Display with Min/Max Option selected Combined Screen showing both Pressure &...

TEMPERATURE SCALE – The temperature scale is indicated by the units displayed under the reading. The scale can be changed by using to highlight the unit line and to toggle the temperature units between Degrees Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). NOTE: If the measured temperature is outside of the range of the instrument, an OVER RANGE or UNDER RANGE message box will be displayed.

ZEROING PRESSURE SCALES – When there is no pressure applied to either port, the display should read “0.” It may be necessary to zero the pressure scales to remove any errors due to ambient conditions. This is done by pressing the key until the zeroing instructions are displayed, then pressing simultaneously to begin...
KEYS Six tactile-touch keys are provided for system operation: – This key turns the unit off and on. The unit will return to the main screen that was active when it was turned off. – In the DISPLAY MODE, these keys toggle the display through the available main screens.
Page 20
– This key toggles the unit into and out of the Setup Mode. Depressing this key will enter the Setup screen where the configuration can be viewed and adjusted. Depressing the key again will exit the Setup Mode and return to the previously viewed main screen. This will also save any changes to the internal EEPROM memory so they will be retained even with the power turned off or battery removed.
OPTIONS ANALOG OUTPUT – The unit may be ordered with a DC Analog Output Option. This option provides a filtered analog output that is representative of the displayed pressure or temperature, and is provided via a BNC connector on the top of the unit. The source parameter for the analog output is selectable in the Setup Menu between Pressure (Pres) or Temperature (Temp).
COMMUNICATIONS Since the meter does not handle a great deal of data, the RS-232 communications link has been optimized to allow the user, through very simple instructions, to control and request data from the meter. Refer to Specifications section for RS-232 Settings (Baud, etc). Data transmitted/received is in standard ASCII format, and all numerical values are in BCD format.

The CANCEL command is simply a way to re-establish proper control, X - CANCEL should a communications error occur or an incorrect command be transmitted. For the most part, an incorrect command will simply be ignored and the meter will return to listening for future commands. However, a prior command may be cancelled midstream by transmitting the CANCEL command anytime.
