Performing Measurements

The inlet and outlet ports are 10-32 UNF imperial (inch) threaded ports.
The inlet port, outlet port, and all connections to the inlet port must be properly
protected from the environment. There must be limited restriction to flow while
protection from water, insects, bugs, and other objects that can block or infiltrate the
instrument air pathway through both the inlet and outlet ports of the instrument. Extra
precaution must be taken as the internal pump of the instrument is pulling air into the
instrument through the inlet port.
