Try to orient the LDT-500 so that the vent control is in position to allow ease of use.
2. Connect the equipment under test to the upper
port on the LDT-500, using a suitable sealing
method. Use a 7/8" or 23mm back up wrench
on the hex section nearest the upper port when
connecting to the LDT-500 inlet.
