  • Page 10: Using Custom Units

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Using Custom Units (CUSTOM): The Custom Units setting allows the user to display a volumetric weight by applying a conversion factor to the pressure reading. NOTE: The conversion factor must be calculated using PSI as the base unit of measure.

  • Page 11: Peak-Hold Feature

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 • Peak-Hold (P HOLd): When the Peak-Hold is enabled, the gauge will display the “peak” or maximum pressure reading since the gauge was powered on or the Max/Min value was reset. NOTE 1: When the Peak-Hold feature is enabled, the...

    (>1.8V). NOTE 2: Selecting LIGHT will keep the gauge continuously powered as long as the light sensor in the PG10 detects adequate light levels. When the environment is sufficiently dark, the PG10 will automatically shut down until the lighting once again reaches the threshold of the light sensor.

  • Page 13: Decimal Place

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Decimal Place (dEC PL): The reading can be set to display in High Resolution (HI RES), Medium Resolution (MEdRES) or Low Resolution (LO RES) mode. Switching between resolutions will shift the displayed reading by one decimal place position.

  • Page 14: Sample Rate

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Sample Rate (SAMPLE): Adjusts the rate at which the gauge takes sample readings. NOTE: Setting the Sample Rate to “SLOW” will help preserve battery life (when applicable) and will also help to smooth rapidly fluctuating readings.

  • Page 15: Bar Graph

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Bar Graph 0% (bAR 0) & Bar Graph 100% (bAR100) Settings: Allows the user to define the reading values associated with 0% and 100% on display bar graph. Bars will appear/disappear in 10% increments of the the 270 total span between the two values.

  • Page 16: Range Adjustment

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Full-Scale Range Adjust (RANGE): Allows the user to adjust the reading at full-scale pressure. The reading can be adjusted by +/-10% full-scale. NOTE: The pressure reading must be within 5% of the full-scale value in order to make Range adjustments.

  • Page 17: Fast Calibration

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Fast Calibration (CALIBR): Allows the user to perform a fast calibration of the zero and span. NOTE: Both zero pressure and full-scale pressure must be applied to the gauge in order to complete the quick calibration process.

  • Page 18: Datalogging

    Logging Sample Rate setting (see page 20). The PG10 can be configured to log continuously, based solely on the Logging Sample Rate setting, or to log only when user defined pressure conditions exist (event logging).

  • Page 19: Date & Time

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Date (DATE) and Time (TIME): Used to set the date and time, which will be used as the reference for the time stamp of the logged readings. NOTE: Hours are set using the 24 hour system (e.g. 1:00 p.m. is 13:00).

  • Page 20: Logging Sample Rate

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Logging Sample Rate (SAMPLE): Determine the interval between logged readings whenever logging is activated. Options: 1 second (1s), 30 seconds (30s), 1 minute (1m), 30 minutes (30m), 1 hour (1h), and 1 day (1day). Setting the Logging Sample Rate:...
  • Page 21 Used to enable/disable datalogging, and to clear all logged records. Setting the Logging Type (continuous or event): The PG10 can be set to continuously log readings or to only log readings based on the Trip Relay status. NOTE 1: Gauges not equipped with relay outputs will still use the Trip Relay settings to define the pressure range(s) for the event logging (see pages 30-32 programming details).

  • Page 22: Event Logging

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Setting Event Logging: When Event Logging is enabled, the gauge will log readings based on the status of one or both of the Trip Relays (see Trip Relay programming on pages 30-32). NOTE: Gauges not equipped with relay outputs will still use the Trip Relay settings for event logging.

  • Page 23: Disable/Clear Logging

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Disabling Logging (STOP) and Clearing Logged (CLEAR) Readings: Step 1: Press to enter the main setup menu. MODE Step 2: Press to cycle through the options until dATLOG is displayed. Step 3: Press ENTR to enter the Datalogging menu.

  • Page 24: Viewing Logged Readings

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Viewing Logged Readings (VIEW): The latest reading will be the first record displayed when viewing the logged readings. MODE Step 1: Press to enter the main setup menu. Step 2: Press to cycle through the options until dATLOG is displayed.

    PG10 Rev. B2, 8/16 Enabling and Disabling the Clock on the main display (CLOCK): When enabled, the time will be displayed on the lower line (menu line) of the main display, alternating every two seconds with the unit of measure.

  • Page 26: Tare Feature

    NOTE 2: If the maximum gross full-scale pressure value is reached while the Tare feature is enabled, the PG10 will automatically disable the Tare feature and return to reading the gross pressure in order to help prevent the user from accidently overpressuring the gauge.
