WARRANTY

The SPM is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. If within the warranty period your instrument should become inoperative from such defects, the unit will be repaired or replaced at UEi’s option. This warranty covers normal use and does not cover damage which occurs in shipment or failure which results from alteration, tampering, accident, misuse, abuse, neglect or improper maintenance. Batteries and consequential damage resulting from failed batteries are not covered by warranty.
Any implied warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and ﬁtness for a particular purpose, are limited to the express warranty. UEi shall not be liable for loss of use of the instrument or other incidental or consequential damages, expenses, or economic loss, or for any claim or claims for such damage, expenses or economic loss.

A purchase receipt or other proof of original purchase date will be required before warranty repairs will be rendered. Instruments out of warranty will be repaired (when repairable) for a service charge.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read entire Safety Notes section regarding potential hazard and proper instructions before using this meter. In this manual the word “WARNING” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word “CAUTION” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may damage this instrument.

To avoid false readings, replace the batteries if a low battery indicator appears.
WARNING
Do not exceed Maximum Over Pressure of ±10 PSI. WARNING

Do not use the manometer if it operates abnormally.
Always test the manometer before use to ensure it is operating properly.

Always ensure that the connection hoses you are using are free from kinks, blockage or splits.
Always double-check all connections before testing. While using the manometer, if you suspect gas is leaking, or if you smell gas, close off gas supply and ventilate the occupied space. Identify and repair the source of the leak before continuing with the test.

Never connect the manometer to an unknown pressure source if the source is twice the working pressure of the instrument; the sensor may be damaged and it may cause injury to the user.
Never open the manometer or attempt to modify it in any way. Otherwise, accident and injury may occur. And the warranty is voided.

These manometers do not measure water pressure; under these conditions they will fail.

WARNING
This manometer is designed for trained trade professionals who are familiar with the hazards of their trade. Observe all recommended safety procedures and use of personal protective equipment.

STATIC PRESSURE

Static pressure testing ensures if the equipment is operating within factory specifications.

Zero your SPM while in ambient pressure with any tubing/probes attached before taking measurements.
For measurements less than 2 inwg, take reading within 1 minute after zeroing for best accuracy.

Use the included static pressure tip when checking static pressure in an airflow stream.
NOTE: The red arrow on the static probes should point toward the airflow of the stream.
Place a SPM before and after the filter to measure your filter pressure drop (B A).
Place a SPM before and after the coil to measure your coil pressure drop (D C ).

Place a SPM in the inlet and outlet air of the equipment to measure your total external static pressure (C B).
Check with manufacturer to determine TESP test locations.
NOTE: If you are in an environment where the temperature is noticeably changing while you are taking your reading, it is advised that you disconnect the probe from the tubing and ZERO it relative to the ambient air before each reading.
