4. Configuración
4.1 Instalación da batería
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the manometer.
- Retire a tapa.
- Insert the supplied 9V alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Coloque a tapa do compartimento da batería de forma segura.
4.2 Conexión de tubaxes
The manometer features two barbed connections for tubing. These connections accept 1/8" (3.18 mm) or 3/16" (4.76 mm) I.D. tubing.
- For positive pressure, connect the tubing from the pressure source to the positive (+) port.
- For negative pressure (vacuum), connect the tubing from the vacuum source to the negative (-) port.
- For differential pressure, connect the higher pressure source to the positive (+) port and the lower pressure source to the negative (-) port.
- Ensure tubing connections are snug to prevent leaks.
5. Instrucións de funcionamento
5.1 Acendido/Apagado
- Preme o ON/OFF botón para acender o dispositivo.
- Preme o ON/OFF button again to power off the device.
5.2 Auto Zero Function
Before taking a measurement, it is crucial to zero the instrument for accuracy.
- Ensure both pressure ports are open to atmospheric pressure (disconnected from any pressure source).
- Preme o CERO button. The display will show '0.00' or a similar indication, confirming the zeroing process.
5.3 Pressure Unit Selection
The manometer allows selection between U.S. and metric pressure units.
- Preme o UNIDADES button to cycle through available pressure units (e.g., in. w.c., kPa).
- Select the desired unit for your measurement.
5.4 Toma de medicións
- Perform the Auto Zero function as described in Section 5.2.
- Connect the tubing to the appropriate pressure source(s) as described in Section 4.2.
- The large LCD will display the pressure reading in the selected units.
- The manometer can display positive, negative, or differential pressures.
6. Mantemento
6.1 Limpeza
Wipe the exterior of the manometer with a soft, damp pano. Non empregue produtos de limpeza abrasivos nin disolventes, xa que poden danar o casing ou pantalla.
6.2 Substitución da batería
When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V alkaline battery following the steps in Section 4.1. A fresh battery provides up to 100 hours of operation.
6.3 Almacenamento

7 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Sen pantalla cando está acendido | Batería esgotada ou mal instalada | Comprobe a polaridade da batería ou substitúaa por unha nova de 9 V. |
| Lecturas inexactas | Not zeroed correctly; Tubing leaks; Sensor issue | Perform Auto Zero function. Check tubing for kinks or leaks. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Display shows 'OVER' or 'UNDER' | Pressure exceeds or is below measurement range | Ensure the applied pressure is within the 0-20.00" w.c. range. |
