Page 3: Gauge1 And Gauge3 Operating Instructions
Gauge3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTICE: DO NOT TURN GAUGES ON UNDER PRESSURE INTRODUCTION The Vaetrix Digital Pressure Indicator is a high accuracy pressure indicator/calibrator. It has multiple channel sensing capability allowing the operator to monitor the: Static pressure Fluid temperature Ambient temperature...
Page 4: Operation
OPERATION The eGauge is initiated by pushing the ON/OFF key. When the button is pushed there will be a “Snap” or tactile response, no further force is necessary to stimulate the gauge to respond. When the gauge is turned on the screen shown to the right will appear on the eGauge.
Page 5 OPERATION The Gauge Update Rate menu allows the user to change the display update rate to improve battery life. The menu is shown to the right. The user can use the “NEXT” and “PREV” buttons to navigate to an update selection. Pressing the “SEL”...
Page 6: Keypad Functions
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS The eGauge is equipped with 6 buttons to control its operation. The keys are the ON/OFF, BACKLIGHT, F1, F2, F3, and F4 buttons. The F1 – F4 keys are soft buttons. Their functions are defined depending on the operating mode of the eGauge and are shown on the display above each key.
Page 7 GAUGE MODE The standard engineering units available are: PSIG Pounds/inch Gauge Kg/cm Kilograms/centimeter MegaPascals Kilopascals IN WC Inches of Water IN HG Inches of mercury MM WC Millimeters of Water FT SW Feet of Sea Water (10) PSIA Pounds/inch Absolute (11) mmHG Millimeters of Mercury...
Page 8: Log Mode
LOG MODE Initiate the Log Mode by pressing the LOG Button. The gauge will begin the logging setup process. If the user had programmed through ePlot program a stage Log Mode, then the user will be given the opportunity to select the stage mode or regular log mode.
Page 9: Static Pressure
LOG MODE A Data Point consists of: Date Time Stamp (dd:mm:yy hh:mm:ss) Test Number or File Identifier Sample Number * Static Pressure Barometric Pressure Test Temperature - If RTD is being used Ambient Temperature * The sample number is the nth sample of the current file. When the memory is erased this number is reset to zero.

for the RTD. If one is present, it will detect, calibrate and display a temperature reading. If one is not present, it will not detect it and will continue the process without temperature indication. The eGauge will operate with or without the RTD attached. The measurement is in either Standard or Metric and is automatically selected when the Static pressure unit of measure is changed.
Page 11: Communication
COMMUNICATION The eGauge is equipped with Blue-tooth device to support communication from the gauge to a desktop or laptop computer. The Vaetrix PLOT software package provides access to information stored on the gauge. The program is designed specifically for the eGauge and will not support other forms of communication or other pressure measure devices.
Page 12 RECALIBRATION When a verification test is required, JM Test Systems recommends two cycles of an eleven point test procedure be used for the evaluation: of full scale applied pressure cycle starting point of full scale applied pressure of full scale applied pressure of full scale applied pressure of full scale applied pressure 100%...
Page 13: Applications
APPLICATIONS Pressure Gauge Calibration The diagram below describes a typical system for the calibration of pressure gauges, transmitters or static pressure on chart recording systems. The system will accept the use of hydraulic fluid, distilled water or air dependent on type of stable pressure source used.
Page 14 APPLICATIONS Differential Pressure Gauge Calibration The diagram below describes a typical system for the calibration of differential transmitters and gauges. The system will accept the use of hydraulic fluid, distilled water or air dependent on type of stable pressure source used. Note: The low-pressure port of the unit being tested must be vented to atmosphere.
Page 15: Product Specifications
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS SYSTEM ACCURACY Static Pressure of Gauges below 5000 PSI Full Scale. +/- 0.05% of Indicated Reading (Including combined errors of nonlinearity, hysteresis, repeatability and temperature effects on both span and zero drift.) for pressures greater than 10% of Full Scale. For pressures 1% to 10% of Full Scale the accuracy is +/- .02% of Full Scale.

Page 17: Troubleshooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING The eGauge is a very high performance gauge. Due to the high resolution of this product, you may observe conditions that appear to be defects in the product, but are in fact a result of being able to resolve and measure pressure to a degree not possible with other instruments.
Page 18: Error Codes
Trouble Shooting - continued Display Reading increases with pressure but will not return to zero √ Reason: Debris in probe, probe adapter or hose. t Solution: Remove connection from end of gauge then use WD 40 and washout transducer. Display reading does not increase with pressure increase √...
Page 19 Err 05 Displayed √ Reason: The eGauge checks the integrity of internal calibration coefficients every time it’s turned on. If any coefficients have been corrupted in any way, “Err 05” is displayed. t Solution: Non Field repairable consult factory. Err LB Displayed √...

The wizard will install the drivers and assign COM (serial) ports. Note the com port numbers. Start the Vaetrix Plot program. Under “File”, “Port Setting” a list of all COM ports will be shown. If two COM ports were assigned to the eGauge, select the lower number COM port.
Page 21: Menus
This command will allow the operator to set the contrast level in the eGauge. System Time Every time the eGauge is connected to Vaetrix Plot program, the date and time will be updated to the computer, it is advisable to make sure before connecting to the gauge, that the computer’s time is correct.
