GENERAL OPERATION When the instrument is first switched on using the ON/OFF key, the top line of the display shows in sequence the date, the time, the model version number, the battery status and the pressure units. The bottom line of the display shows a countdown number that starts at 10 and reduces to zero.
Page 3
Two lines of 20 characters can be added to the header of printouts. The meters are controlled using 4 buttons The four buttons are: PRINT/BACKLIGHT A quick press to PRINT Press and hold until there is a beep to toggle the BACKLIGHT SCROLL/MENU Press and hold for MENU.
Page 4
HOLD/ZERO A quick press to HOLD the reading and the display flashes. Press and hold until there is a beep to ZERO the reading ON/OFF Press for ON or OFF. The meter counts down from 10 after OFF is pressed Press HOLD/ZERO to cancel OFF .
BEFORE USING THE METER FOR THE FIRST TIME: Unscrew the bottom two screws, remove the cover and fit a new battery in the battery compartment. Take great care to ensure that the battery is fitted with the correct battery polarity. Then replace the battery cover and screws, taking care not to over tighten them.
BEFORE USING THE METER EVERY TIME: After switch on, check that date and time are correct and battery power is sufficient and the displayed units are the ones required. SAFETY WARNING Never connect to a pressure source where you are not sure what the maximum pressure might be.
3. THE MENU FUNCTIONS The MENU structure comprises main menu options. STORE, SETUP and PRESSURE have a sub-menu structure. SERVICE is for use by an approved service organisation only. MENU Press MENU and use the UP button to select the following function for change: STORE...

MEASURING Make sure you do not exceed the meter’s operating specifications. • Do not exceed the meter’s internal temperature operating range • Do not put the meter on a hot surface When taking critical draft measurements always re-zero the meter in the position you are taking the readings and hold the meter still during the test.

Port 1 Differential Port IR Printer Output Always use the top left hand port (Port 1) for taking single channel measurements (pressure or vacuum). Only use the right hand port for differential measurements Port 1 Differential Port IR Printer Output Always use the top left hand port (Port 1) for taking single channel measurements (pressure or vacuum).

If the pressure being measured exceeds the meter’s design range the display will show for “over-range” When taking draft readings at very low pressure or draft levels, for maximum accuracy, re-zero the meter in the orientation that it is being used. This eliminated gravity effects on the very sensitive pressure transducer.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY European Council Directive 89/336/EEC requires electronic equipment not to generate electromagnetic disturbances exceeding defined levels and have adequate immunity levels for normal operation. Specific standards applicable to this meter are stated below. As there are electrical products in use pre- dating this Directive, they may emit excess electromagnetic radiation levels and, occasionally, it may be appropriate to check...
Page 33
Use the normal start up sequence in the location where the meter will be used. Switch on all localized electrical equipment capable of causing interference. Check all readings are as expected. A level of disturbance is acceptable. If not acceptable, adjust the meter’s position to minimize interference or switch off, if possible, the offending equipment during your test.
