4. Impostazione
4.1 Installazione della batteria
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the manometer.
- Togliere il coperchio.
- Insert the supplied 9V alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Riposizionare saldamente il coperchio del vano batteria.
4.2 Collegamento dei tubi
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. Istruzioni per l'uso
5.1 Accensione/Spegnimento
- Premere il tasto ACCESO/SPENTO pulsante per accendere il dispositivo.
- Premere il tasto ACCESO/SPENTO button again to power off the device.
5.2 Auto Zero Function
Prima di effettuare una misurazione, è fondamentale azzerare lo strumento per garantire la precisione.
- Ensure both pressure ports are open to atmospheric pressure (disconnected from any pressure source).
- Premere il tasto ZERO 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.
- Premere il tasto UNITÀ button to cycle through available pressure units (e.g., in. w.c., kPa).
- Seleziona l'unità di misura desiderata.
5.4 Esecuzione delle misurazioni
- 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. Manutenzione
6.1 Pulizia
Wipe the exterior of the manometer with a soft, damp panno. Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi o solventi, poiché potrebbero danneggiare il casing o display.
6.2 Sostituzione della batteria
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 Conservazione
Store the manometer in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect tubing and remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Nessuna visualizzazione all'accensione | Batteria scarica o installata in modo errato | Controllare la polarità della batteria o sostituirla con una nuova batteria da 9 V. |
| Letture imprecise | 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. |
