Power Supply Alkaline or heavy duty DC 1.5 V battery ( UM4, AAA ) x 6 PCs, or equivalent. or DC 9V adapter input. ( AC/DC power adapter is the optional accessory ). * Batterries are also the clock backup power source, so if use AC to DC adapter power supply, it is recommend to install the batteries...
4. MEASURING PROCEDURE 1) Power supply installation : * The meter's power supply should install the batteries and connect " AC to DC adapter " together. * The batteries are the backup power of " Clock ", if meter install the batteries only and not connect the " AC to DC adapter ", meter only can measure the input mA value and the function of SD card data logger is disable, it also can not show other function.
3) Plug in the above plugs into 4-20 mA CH 1 input socket ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ) 4-20 mA CH 1 input socket ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ) 4-20 mA CH 1 input socket ( 3-12, Fig. 1 ) Remark : * The up Display value will present the CH1 pressure value.
