Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech Manometer Model HD755. This device measures gauge and differential pressure in the range of ±0.500 psi. The HD755 offers eleven (11) units of measure (user selectable by front panel pushbutton) and has a differential input that uses convenient quick‐disconnect fittings. Advanced features include DATA HOLD, MIN‐MAX‐AVG RECORD mode, ZERO/OFFSET, AUTO POWER OFF, and USB PC interface. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service. Please visit our website (www.extech.com) to check for the latest version of this User Guide, Product Updates, and Customer Support.

Basic Operation Meter Power The HD755 uses a 9V battery for power. If the meter does not switch on when the POWER button is pressed or if the display shows BAT, replace the battery. When the POWER buttons is pressed, the meter performs a short self‐test and reverts to the settings in place when the meter was last turned off. Automatic Power‐off Feature In order to conserve battery life, the meter has an automatic power off feature (after 20 minutes). To defeat this feature, press and hold the HOLD button while turning the meter on. Release the HOLD button when ‘n’ appears on the display. The meter will now remain on until the user turns it off or until the battery weakens. Note that the Auto Power OFF feature will be reactivated the next time the meter is turned off and then on. Unit of Measure Press the UNIT button to select the unit of measure. This meter offers eleven (11) units of measure as listed below.

Zero Adjust and Offset function The unit must be kept in the upright position when ZEROING or when taking measurements. To ZERO the meter: Before use and without fittings attached to the meter, press and hold the HOLD button for 3 seconds or until the display shows all zeroes. To OFFSET meter readings: Press the DIF button while taking a measurement. Subsequent readings will represent the difference between the current measurement and the measurement that was on the display when the DIF button was pressed. . Press the DIF button again to exit the OFFSET function. MIN‐MAX‐AVG Mode with Elapsed Timer The RECORD function records a single maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), and average (AVG) readings with a time stamp. The elapsed timer is displayed on the lower right‐hand corner of the LCD and informs the user of the time a MAX or MIN reading was recorded. Press the RECORD button once. The REC indicator will appear on the display and the displayed elapsed timer will start (HH:MM:SS format [hours:minutes:seconds]). Press the RECORD button again to view the highest (MAX) reading recorded since the RECORD button was first pressed. The MAX indicator and maximum reading will appear on the display. The elapsed timer will show the time of the MAX event. Press the RECORD button again, the MIN indicator and the minimum value will appear on the display. The elapsed timer will show the time of the MIN event. Press the RECORD button again, the AVG indicator and the average value will appear on the display. The elapsed timer will continue to run. To return to normal operation, press and hold the RECORD button until the display indicators REC, MAX, etc. switch off. Note that in the RECORD mode, the backlight and the power buttons are the only available functions. The Min, Max, and AVG data cannot be exported to the PC. PC Interface The meter has a built‐in USB port for use with the Manometer Data Acquisition software. The software allows the user to view, record and print readings from the HD755 while it is connected directly to a PC. Refer to the documentation included with the software for complete details. Displayed Error Codes The following codes are displayed when the meter encounters an error. ERR 1: Pressure input exceeds specified limits ERR 2: Pressure input is too low to read ERR 3: The Differential Pressure input exceeds specified limits ERR 4: The Differential Pressure input is too low to read HD755-en-GB_V1.8 9/16...
