EC Declaration of Conformity
We declare on our own responsibility that this product conforms to the following
standards:
The HM35 digital pressure gauge is a pressure-me asuring instrument with an integrated
pressure sensor for the measurement of differential, relative or absolute pressures and
vacuum. Its versatile range of functions and high precision render it suitable for a wide
range of applications. Via the infrared interface (IR) and S CPI (Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments) commands, the HM35 can communicate with a PC. Its
operation is very simple, and supports the user in his measurement tasks.
Operating modes
• Pressure measurement / Differential pressure
• Min./Max. values
• Mean value (average)
• Pressure change rate
• Data logging
Selectable configuration possibilities
• Data logging
Æ Interval time, print/transfer, deleted memory
• Configuration
Æ Measurement units, display filter, auto. switch-off time, au to zero, lighting level, etc.
• Average period (period for determining average value)
• Date and Time (real-time clock)
• Calibration
Æ Date of last calibration date, manual recalibration
2 Safety information
•The pressure values and overload levels stated on the rating plate and quoted in
these operating instructions must not be exceeded, as otherwise the pressure sensor could be destroyed or there could be a risk of injury.
•Only use pressure hoses with a maximum loading capacity corresponding to that
necessary for the application.
•Ensure that the pneumatic hoses are securely fitted! Do not use damaged or kinked
hoses.
• Do not open up the instrument (this would void the guarantee).
• The instrument must be stored within the permissible storage temperature range.
The instrument must not be put into operation in an
explosive environment!
Wear eye protection if working with pressures > 1bar!
Switching on Briefly press the On/Off key () (< 1 s)
For precise measurements, the HM35 must first be switched on for at
least 1 minute (warm-up phase).
Switching off Briefly press the On/Off key
or
automatic switch-off 3, 10 or 60 minutes after the last time key operation
(automatic switch-off does not take place during Average, Change Rate
and Data Logging measurements or in IR
Notes
• The HM35 switches on automatically when the supply voltage is connected.
• The HM35 continues to work in battery mode following an interruption of the supply
voltage
•In case of a change in temperature, the HM35 must be allowed to adapt to the new
ambient temperature for a least 30 minutes while switched off in order to attain the
best measurement accuracy.
• The day/time, battery level and accuracy will be briefly displayed at switch on:
• After switch-on, the HM35 switches to the last operational mode used, e.g.:
() (< 1 s),
and network operation).
• With the display filter activated, wait until the transient effect finishes (approx. 5 s).
1) Once a measurement procedure has been started, the menu selection is blocked.
2) During a measurement procedure (after Start has been pressed), you can switch
between functions. This permits, for example, the observation of the Min/Max
function during data logging.
3) The Clear key has no function in the absolute pressure instruments.
4) The AVERAGE function creates an arithmetic average value of all measured values
during the time period selected in the menu. After expiry of the time period, the
average value will be displayed.
5) Measurement of the leak rate (diff/gauge sensor) or tendency (abs. sensor). The
pressure change (CHANGE RATE) from the start time to the current time will be
displayed. The first display occurs 10 s after the start.

Note
1) With the filter function active, short-term measurement variations should be
suppressed, resulting in a steadier display. Measured values via the int erface and in
the Data Logging Memory will not be filtered.
Every time that the Data Logging is started, an information header ("Header") will first be
saved: The measured values will then be saved sequentially. "Stop" will be saved after
every interruption of the logging or if manual storage is carried out. At the end of all the
data loggings, "End" will be saved. Measured values can be uniquel y identified by their
header.

3.7.2 IR-Hardware of the instrument
The hardware of the IR-connection of the instrument is compatible with IrDA- Standard
1.0.
IR (IrDA)- Adapter
A passive IrDA- adapter has to be use d which is compati ble to IrD A- Standard 1.0. The
IrDA adapter ACT-IR220Lplus is available as accessory.
The following explanations apply to this type:
INTEGER Decimal number, whole numbers only 123
FLOAT Floating-point number 123.45
I-FLOAT Floating-point number, transferred as an INTEGER.
This means that it will not be transferred in the floating-point
format, but as an INTEGER – value coded according to the IEEE-
754 standard.
DISCRETE Discrete values, do not use “ in the text, similar to Menu selection mbar
BOOLEAN Boolean values: ON or OFF (similar to DISCRETE) ON
STRING Character string "ABCDE“
3242721280
(corresponds to -12.5)
Notes regarding control commands
• Cyclical commands Commands that last longer are processed cyclically. They will be automatically interrupted if a command occurs
that requires an output.
• " (Inverted commas) A STRING is identified by inverted commas and a full-stop. These must be transferred with it (unlike DISCRETE).
• ' (apostrophe) An apostrophe is used, for example for emphasis. The apostrophe itself will not be transferred.
• ( ) (brackets) Parameter inside rou nd brackets are optional The brackets themselves will not be transferred.
• , (comma) The comma is used to separate arguments. The next argument must follow immediately after the comma
(no SPACE, ASCII-Code 32
• Open the battery compartment and insert 3 x 1,5 V Mignon cell AA, IEC LR6.
Always replace all three batteries at the same time!
Ensure correct polarity!
3.9 Calibration
Re-calibration may only be carried out by specialist staff and with the corresponding
pressure standards.
We recommend that you have the HM35 re-calibrated at least once a year, and, in case
of highest demands for precision, several times a year.
Manual re-calibration
• In the Menu, select the Calibration → Manual Calibration function.
Zero point (Offset)
1. Open the pressure connection or, with the absolute pressure unit, set the given
2. Press the Function key (
Î the zero point will be re-calibrated.

regulations
pressure value to the normal pressure.
!
)
Full-scale value
1. Set the given pressure value to the normal pressure.
2. Press the Function key (
Î the full-scale value will be calibrated and the HM35 returns to normal operation.
• The calibration must take place at a stable room temperature of 22 °C ± 2 °C.
• A calibration value will only be accepted if it lies within ± 5 % of the full-scale
value of the HM35.
• With the pressure connections open, it is possible to only re-calibrate the zero point.
• The date of the last calibration will be stored in the Calibration History.
• In case of manual re-calibration, the previous measurement will become invalid.
You should always carry out a complete accuracy check afterwards.
