Differential Pressure Manometers

Model PS101, PS106, and PS115

2 PS100 Series-EU-EN-v1.1 2/13

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech PS100 Series Differential Pressure Manometer.

These manometers measure gauge pressure (a measure of pressure with reference to ambient
pressure) and differential pressure (the difference between two pressure measurements). In
addition, the meter can display a value that represents the actual reading minus a stored reference
(DIF mode).

The PS101 (±1psi), PS106 (±6 psi), and the PS115 (±15 psi) models offer 11 units of measure, a 99
reading storage utility, MAX/MIN recording with Relative mode, Time Stamp, Data Hold, Auto Power
OFF, Zero function, PC interface, and large Backlit LCD. These devices are portable and battery
operated and perfect for HVAC technicians as well as those in the pneumatic and medical fields.

This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable
service. Please visit our website (www.extech.com) to check for the latest version of this User
Guide.

Unit of Measure selector key. Press momentarily to step through availble units.

Press momentarily to enter Record mode. REC icon apears and the elapsed timer starts.
Press to step through MAX and MIN readings. Other keys are locked in this mode except for the
backlight and the Power key. Press and hold for 3 seconds to exit the record mode and to return
to the normal mode of operation.

Press to freeze current reading. Press again to release.

Press momentarily to store the current reading as a reference (the DIF icon will switch
ON). Subsequent readings represent the current measurement minus the reference value. Note
that this display is NOT the differential pressure between the two pressure inputs.
