    Thank you for choosing the WT Series Digital Test Gauge from Crystal Engineering Corporation. The WT Series is a combination of leading edge technol- ogy and rugged industrial design. The WT Series Digital Test Gauge is designed to fit in 8" or 10" panel mount applications commonly found in portable test sets.

    WT Series to read zero pressure at any applied pressure, up to the full scale rating of the gauge. The factory default setting limits the maximum zero value to 20 PSI, but this limit can be changed with Some WT Series are rated for absolute pressure.

    In some cases the ability to display a peak value may not be needed, or may even be dangerous. ConfigXP allows you to disable this button. The WT Series can average 1 to 10 readings, recalculated every time pressure is measured (4 times per second). Enable and set the number of readings to be averaged with ConfigXP.
  • Page 6 WARNING: This gauge can display zero pressure when connected to a source of pressure! Do not rely on the display indication before disconnecting— it may not be indicating true pressure. Never disconnect pressure instrumentation without first relieving system pressure! To Clear the Zero Value on the WT Series Turn off peak indication as described above, then press and hold the...

  • Page 8 The following applies only to models where inches of water is a selectable pressure unit. As shipped from the factory, the WT Series is set to display inches of water corresponding to the density of water at 4° C (39.2° F). You may require a different water density for your application, so the WT Series can be set to use the density of water at 20°...
  • Page 9 Reset If for some reason the WT Series needs to be reset, remove any battery for at least one minute, then reinstall the battery. If the reset is successful, the WT Series on/off will start operating without pressing the button.
  • Page 10 The Battery icon ( ) uses three bars to display the battery level. When the icon displays all three bars, the batteries are full. The WT Series will continue to operate accurately while the icon is visible. When the batteries are exhausted, the letters batt will appear across the display.

    Specifications  Specifications Accuracy Includes all effects of linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, temperature, and stability for one year. Gauges must be exercised whenever exposed to significant changes in environmental conditions to achieve these specifications, and (if not an absolute model), rezeroed. To exercise a gauge, cycle the gauge between zero (ambient barometric pressure) and the pressure of interest. A properly exercised gauge will return to a perfect zero reading (or return to the same ambient barometric reading).
