operation instructions before using the absolute
pressure meter.

1. Only operate the measuring instrument properly,

for its intended purpose and within the parame-

ters specified. Do not use force.

OPERATIONS

There are 3 operation modes, namely Measure-

ment Mode, Set Mode and Hold Mode.

1. Turning on and off the meter:

When

power

is off, a short push on “ ” key turns

LCD display lights up for one second.

2. Measurement Mode:

When power is on, the meter starts measuring
and refresh every second.

Changing unit:

In measurement mode, press “

” key to switch

between lux and fc.

Backlight:

In measurement mode, a short push on “

” key
turns on the backlight for dark environment, it
goes off automatically after 15 seconds if without
further operation.

3. Set Mode:

In set mode, user can turn on/off APO function.

10 minutes)
When power is off, press and hold “

” key for 2

seconds to enter Set Mode.

Short push on “

” key switches between ON
and OFF.
Push “MODE” key to save the setting, exit APO
setting mode and enter measuring mode.

Note:※

To turn off power in Set Mode abandon

the current setting and previous settings
remain unchanged. If “

” indicator
appeared, the setting value can works till
power off but did not save to meter.

4. Hold Mode:

In Measurement Mode, short push “Mode” key
to enter Hold Mode with indicator “HOLD”
shows at upper left corner of LCD.
Right after entering this mode, shown in the LCD
is the last measurement and the reading will not
be updated with new measurement.
Push “Mode” key each time the display changes
in following sequence:
(1) Last Measurement: with indicator “HOLD”.
(2) Maximum value recorded: with indicator

“HOLD” + “MAX”.

(3) Minimum value recorded: with indicator

“HOLD” + “MIN”.

(4) Maximum-Minimum value recorded: with

indicator “HOLD” + “MAX-MIN”.

(5) Average of values recorded: with indicator

“HOLD”

+ “AVG”.

(6) Exit

the Hold Mode and return to Measure-

ment Mode.

To clear the recorded values:

In Hold Mode and during viewing MAX, MIN,
MAX-MIN or AVG, press and hold “Mode” key
for 2 seconds, to clear the recorded data and re­turn to measurement mode.
