- Page 6 MK5 Rear 15. Hook with Strap: This hook and strap allow you to hang the Mako while you are reading or performing tests. Only hang on well-fixed pipes that fit within the diameter of the hook. 16. Hook Clip: This clip keeps the Hook and Strap safely stowed and out of the way when the Hook and Strap are not being used.

- Page 8 D. Active Position Cursor: Shows you to which position the next Captured Value will be saved. E. Auto Power Off (APO) indicator: The Mako is set to automatically power off after 30 minutes of no use. This conserves power and saves you batteries if you forget to turn MAKO off between uses.
- Page 9 MK5 Water Flow Diagram MK5 Water Flow Details In the diagram above, arrows start and end on valves or the water source. This is an accepted 5 valve water flow configuration as prescribed by the USC FCCCHR Manual 10. 9 Manual Updated May 19, 2020...
- Page 10 Capturing and Clearing Values Button Diagram Capturing values allows you to eliminate the need for a pencil and paper at each assembly. Six values can be captured in memory and on the display allowing you to capture the working pressure as well as all test values on any backflow assembly. The capture button allows the tester to focus on the backflow assembly rather than the gauge, crucial for recording the relief valve or air inlet valve opening points.
- Page 11 Capture Example Display The active capture slot (where the next reading will be captured) is shown by an active position cursor. Position 4 in the example display above. To capture a value, press the Capture button. To clear a value press and release Back button. To clear all captured values, press and hold the Back button.
- Page 12 The rate of change graph also coincides with the sensor location inside the Mako when held in the proper vertical testing orientation. This allows the tester to level the sensor appropriately when testing on DCBA’s, SVBA’s and PVBA’s.
- Page 13 Increasing Differential Pressure When the pressure is increasing, the arrows on the right side of the graph will be darkened as in the picture above. The faster the pressure is increasing; the more arrows will be darkened. Decreasing Differential Pressure When the pressure reading is decreasing, the arrows on the left side of the graph will be darkened as in the picture above.
- Page 14 Auto Power Off (APO) turns the Mako off after 30 minutes of non-use. To disable the Auto Power Off function, Hold the Back button while powering on the Mako. The Auto Power off indicator “APO" will no longer be visible in the upper left area of the display. APO is enabled by default when the Mako is powered on.
