Warning
Particular care should be taken not to overpressure
the instrument as this may damage the pressure
sensor inside the instrument. This is not covered by
the warranty.
NOTE: The differential/gauge instruments will only measure
positive pressures i.e. positive pressure applied to the
positive port, or negative pressure applied to the negative
port.
Instrument application
The range of EPM-2000 instruments is suitable for gauge, differential,
or absolute measurements over a wide range of pressures depending
on the type of instrument you have chosen.
They are not suitable for use with corrosive substances or cylic
hydrocarbons, e.g. motor oil, transmission fluid and freon. To use the
EPM-2000 with these components, isolation must be provided in form
of a separator.
Batteries
Two type AA batteries (Penlight) supplied.
Follow instructions on reverse of instrument for fitting/replacement.
When
Serial No.
The S/N of the EPM instruments is placed under the batteries. This will
secure that the number is not being removed by accident or by wear
and tear.
Table of units (conversion between different pressure units)
If possible, you should always use the pressure units available in the
EPM instrument. This will prevent conversion errors and make the use
easier and faster.
