Доброе утро! У меня прибор BMC G3A20 стал выдавать высокое давление Leak L/min под 80 (заснуть под него не возможно) что делать?
If the BMC G3 A20 device shows a high pressure leak of L/min under 80, it may be due to incorrect elevation settings or use outside the stated atmospheric pressure range, which can affect the accuracy of the leakage alert. To address this, verify and correct the elevation setting and ensure the device is used within the specified atmospheric pressure range.
