E.O. 6409 JAN 2008 M1 SERIES – DIGITAL MANOMETER USER MANUAL Meriam Process Technologies’ M1 Series pressure instrument is a microcontroller-based pressure sensing device that can be used to directly measure pressure. Differential, Gauge and Absolute pressure sensors are supported up to 100 PSI.
M1 Series - DM Instruction Manual 9R000034-IR E.O. 6409 JAN 2008 Introduction Thank you for purchasing this Meriam product. Meriam has been providing innovative, reliable, cost-effective measurement and calibration solutions since 1911. The M1 has been designed using the latest technology to provide reliable accuracy throughout its entire operating temperature range, dependable operation, and exceptional battery life.
• Selecting the TEMP mode (the °F or °C icon) will display the internal ambient temperature of the M1. o the UNIT key will toggle between °F and °C The minimum and maximum temperature the M1 has measured is permanently recorded for factory warranty issues. www.meriam.com Page 5 of 17...
(if the backlight auto-off timer did not expire). The backlight should be turned off when not needed to conserve battery power. The backlight feature will be reduced when the M1 is in low battery mode. www.meriam.com Page 6 of 17...
NORMAL mode. “user 1” and “user 2” are reserved for custom user defined “units of measure”. Contact Meriam if this support is required. Notes: Depending upon the pressure range of the M1, some engineering units may not be available (i.e. they will be skipped).
All previously stored REC session data will be saved and the M1 will return to NORMAL mode (the REC icon will go off). This step can be done anytime the REC icon is flashing. www.meriam.com Page 8 of 17...
The M1 will return to NORMAL mode (the REC icon will go off). This step can be done anytime the REC icon is on. Auto Shut-Off To conserve battery life, the M1 will automatically power off after 30 minutes of keypad inactivity. www.meriam.com Page 9 of 17...
These standards should meet the accuracy requirements for your company or industry. Meriam Process Technologies follows the guidelines established by ANSI/NCSL Z540 which requires that the primary standard be 4 times more accurate than the unit under test.
The factory calibration defaults can be restored in the M1 by simultaneously pressing the O and F and U keys until the display shows “----”. The process is complete when the display changes from “----” to the current pressure reading. www.meriam.com Page 11 of 17...

° LO = The temperature of M1 below valid calibration range/field recalibration value. P HI = Pressure applied to M1 above valid calibration range/field recalibration value. P LO = Pressure applied to M1 below valid calibration range/field recalibration value. www.meriam.com Page 13 of 17...
All three batteries should be replaced. To replace the battery locate the battery compartment in the bottom rear of the M1, as shown below. www.meriam.com Page 14 of 17...

” statement on the battery cover must be visible and ATMOSPHERE aligned in the approximate middle of the M1 case. To secure the cover, torque the screws clockwise to 1.6 in-lbs. Do not over tighten. www.meriam.com Page 15 of 17...
WARNING User must use bulkhead fitting hex surface when attaching user’s 1/8” NPT fitting. No torque can be applied to bulkhead fitting with respect to plastic enclosure. www.meriam.com Page 16 of 17...
If the M1 cannot be zeroed, spanned, or is damaged, it must be returned to the factory for servicing. In this case, contact the Meriam Process Technologies representative in your area or call the factory at the numbers listed below for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number.
