Apply pressure to one or both sensors to read the differential.
Note:
The static pressure is also displayed on the bottom of the window. The unit for the static pressure does not have to be the same as the differential unit.
Tare
Using the Tare function improves your
differential measurement uncertainty
HPC50's two modules at a non-ambient datum.
If you apply the same static line pressure to both sensors simultaneously, you should have a differential reading of zero. Due to the allowable error tolerance
for each module, the reading may not be zero. The Tare function allows you to normalize both readings so that the differential reading is zero. This gives you a
more accurate differential reading than if this process were not completed.
Note:
Tare should be reestablished every time your measurement conditions change, including vent condition. For instance if your ΔP reading has 8 inH20 of
Tare at 1500 psi static, when you return to vent condition this 8 inH20 of Tare will remain in place on your ΔP reading until cleared with the Tare button.
