WARNINGS
• Wear safety glasses / Wear gloves
• Do not vent refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• If eyes come in contact with refrigerant, immediately flush with plenty of
water and seek medical attention.
• Keep in a dry place. Do not allow moisture to enter the unit.
• IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING STATIC DISCHARGE: Climates in some parts of the
world are conducive to creating static electric build up (ESD). Your digital manifold
has been designed to eliminate the damaging effects of ESD. In some extreme
cases, ESD will be apparent on your digital manifold by a lack of response or an
inability to turn off the unit. In the rare case that this occurs, simply disconnect the
battery, wait 1 minute and reconnect the battery. The digital manifold will "reboot"
itself and operate normally once the unit is turned on.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Remove the battery compartment cover. Make sure to
place the battery into the compartment with the correct
polarity. Replace battery cover.
Note: If you need to replace the battery allow 15-20
seconds before reconnecting the battery to the
battery snaps.
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT FOR ELEVATION
For an accurate reading, it is important to adjust the manifold for elevation.
Follow these steps to set the unit for local elevation and barometric readings.
1. Press the POWER button to turn the unit ON.
2. Allow 10-15 seconds for warm-up and readings to stabilize. (You will see all characters
and units countdown 9999,8888,7777... ) Once the warm-up is complete, only
pressure and temperature readings will appear.
3. Since the manifold reads gauge pressure it must be set for local elevation and
barometric readings. Press and hold the UNIT button and then the ENTER button
simultaneously for 6-8 seconds and release. Pressure readings will now be truly zero.
NOTE: In some cases pressure readings may not be zero with the manifold disconnected
from the pressure or vacuum source. Press and hold the UNIT button and then the ENTER
button simultaneously for 6-8 seconds and release. Pressure readings will now be zero.
WARNING! If the manifold is connected to a pressure or vacuum source
and displays actual readings, do not attempt to zero out the reading by
pressing the enter button. This can offset the reading.
BASIC SET-UP
The following settings are pre-programmed into the unit.
• Pressure: PSI / IN-Hg
• Temperature: °F
To change these settings please follow the procedure below:
• Press the POWER button to turn the unit ON. Allow 10-15 seconds for warm-up and
readings to stabilize. (You will see all characters and units countdown
9999,8888,7777... ) Once the warm-up is complete, pressure and
temperature readings will appear.
• Press the UNITS button to select the desired pressure/temperature. Scroll through PSI,
Kg/cm 2 , Bar, Mpa in ˚F. Continue to scroll for pressures to display in ˚C
