4.2.6 Auto Power Off ZERO PEAK MENU Figure 7. Auto Power Off setup flowchart Auto Power Off function can set Auto Off. This function can use after Auto Power Off function on. Choose one of 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, and 30 minutes. Push PEAK/MENU key for 2 seconds to select Menu function then push PEAK/MENU key to choose Auto Power Off function.
4.2.7 Data Logger ZERO Figure 8. Data logger setup flowchart Push PEAK/MENU key for 2 seconds to select Menu function. Push PEAK/MENU key to select Data Logger function. Push ZERO key to set Data Logger function. Push ENTER key to save Data Logger status. Push ENTER key to go to next Menu when Data Logger off, push ENTER key to set Data Logger function save and time mode when Data Logger On.

After Menu sets then use Logger function, push ENTER key to 2 seconds then display shows “Log” with blinking. At this moment, unable to use RS232 Communication because PDR1000 is saving pressure value at the same time. Push ENTER key for 2 seconds to stop Data Logger function.
4.2.8 Storage Data Clear Push PEAK/MENU key for 2 seconds to select Menu. Push PEAK/MENU key to select Data Clear function. Push ZERO to Data clear or not. This function is erase saved data on EPROM. 4.2.8 End This function is save all of Menu. This is last function to activate and store for each configured setting.
5. Maintenance Adjustments and Calibration 5.1 Zero Adjustment Using PDR1000 for a long time, it occurs Zero point change because of yearly variation for pressure sensor and PCB components or other environmental condition. If user wants to set Zero, use Calibration Zero function on CAL Function.
PDK does not recommend to user open the case to solve the PDR1000 problem. PDK does not guarantee when PDR1000 got damage with user open the case in PDR1000. PDK recommends contacting/send PDR1000 to PDK for suitable and stable troubleshooting.
7. Appendix 7.1 Warranty Statement PDR1000 warranty period of quality is 3 years. PDK guarantee all of case of failure symptom except user’s fault within 3 years. Even when warranty is expired, PDK will help our customer with minimum repair fee.
