ANNOTATIONS

1. Accuracy: Relatively applicable to the maximum output deviation of the best fitting straight line (BFSL) measured in the pressure range of 25°C. lncluding all errors caused by pressure nonlinearity, pressure lag, and non repeatability;
2. Overload pressure: The maximum pressure that can be safely applied to the product, so that the product specification remains unchanged when the pressure returns to the working pressure range. Excessive pressure may cause permanent damage to the product;
3. Burst pressure: The maximum pressure that can be applied to any pressure port of the product without causing the pressure medium to disengage. The product will not work properly after being subjected to any pressure exceeding the burst pressure. FS: full scale, e.g. differential pressure ±10Kpa range, FS=±10Kpa;
4. Compensation temperature range: The temperature range in which the sensor can produce output proportional to pressure under specific performance limits.

ABNORMAL SITUATIONS AND SOLUTIONS

1. Clock failure: lf „Err“ is displayed in the LCD time and date display area, it indicates that the real-time clock has not been started successfully, and users can shut down and start it again. lf it still cannot be started successfully, it indicates that the firmware is damaged;
2. Automatic clock synchronization: Open the APP and plug in the USB to automatically synchronize the time with your computer;
3. Clock error adjustment: The accuracy of time is greatly affected by temperature and device accuracy. After a long time of operation there will be differences between the time of the clock and the time displayed on your mobile phone and computer. Directly connect it with the computer APP. Automatic synchronization will be completed, or adjust the second frequency setting through the APP to reduce the error. The larger the setting value is, the more the clock will slow down.
   Operation method: APP > Setting > Fill in the adjustment second frequency (value range: 0 … 31) > Click the upload icon;
4. Directly plug in the power adapter or computer USB after shutdown to automatically start up and automatically charge the instrument, and LCD „USB“ icon will be flashing. lf the battery is fully charged, the battery icon stands still, indicating that it is not  being charged. The battery icon beats to indicate that it is being charged. Long press button 5 to screen off and turn off the instrument. At this time, the battery can still be charged, but other functions will stop. lf you need the instrument to work for a long time, directly plug in the power adapter;
5. LCD display „BAT“ means that the battery will automatically shut down when the battery is low;
6. The pressure dynamic value exceeds the alarm value, showing Hi/Lo, beyond the range of display oL (the range can not be exceeded for a long time, otherwise it is easy to damage the gas pressure sensor).

NOTES BEFORE USE

1. Due to the large range of pneumatic dynamic state, the differential pressure gauge with a range of ±40Kpa to ±1 00Kpa will have zero drill of 20 to 50pa. The error caused by zero drift is small compared with the total error and can be ignored. Users can long press button 4 to return to zero;
2. The instrument should be kept in dry natural room temperature environment as far as possible. Remember to keep it far away from high temperature, and not to use it to measure liquid pressure and corrosive gas.

At present we have developed the following ranges of differential pressure gauges, ±125Pa, ±250Pa, ±500Pa, ±1Pa, ±2Pa, ±2.5Pa, ±4Pa, ±5kPa, ±10Pa, ±40Pa, ±50Pa, ±100Pa, accuracy range: ±0.3%FS … ±2%FS,
Please consult our sales staff when purchasing to find out which range is the most accurate.
Linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, sensitivity, zero-point temperaturedrift, may vary This instrument belongs to the micro small range differential pressure gauge, and the pressure range is dozens of pa. Do not directly used it for Mpa magnitude. Please carefully assess whether the air pressure you use meets the range of the differential pressure gauge you bought. lf not, do not use it. Do not use it for a long time under large pressure overload, so as to avoid damage to the sensor. lf the sensor is damaged, the company will not replace it free of charge.

DISPOSAL

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose. In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.
For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with your local waste regulations. If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
