1. GENERAL

These instructions for use describes the functions of the digital pressure gauge PCE-PDA and
provide the user directions for its use.

1.1. SAFETY WARNING

Incorrect use of the digital pressure gauge PCE-PDA or non-performance of these
instructions can result in damage of the instrument or an injury of the operator. All
personnel responsible for the operation of the instrument must be properly trained and
informed about the dangers and must carefully follow these instructions for use and safety
directions, see further in this document.

In case you find out that you do not understand any part of these instructions for use, please
contact the producer.

The producer retains the right to continue with the development of this instrument without
recording any single change.

1.2. PRESSURE MEASURING AND OPERATING WARNING

1.2.1. PRESSURE MEASURING

Pressure measuring by means of the digital pressure gauge PCE-PDA starts immediately after
connecting pressure on the positive pressure input (2) = measuring of the relative
overpressure or the negative pressure input (1) = measuring the relative underpressure. If
both the relative and negative outputs are connected at the same time to different
pressures, the PCE-PDA gauge measures the pressure difference. This data is displayed on
the main display (6). If the nominal pressure range is exceeded 2.4 times, the main display
will show OL = overload. Overload is indicated on the secondary display by means of signs - -

- -.

If the gauge cannot display the measured pressure in the chosen unit, it will
display OL and - - - -. Thus pay attention to a proper setting of the unit in
accordance to the nominal pressure of the gauge.

1.2.2. PERMITTED MEASURED MEDIA

The PCE-PDA gauge is constructed only for measuring non-aggressive gases and non­aggressive liquids. In case of connecting to an unsuitable media, the gauge can be
unretrievably damaged. If you are not sure about the character of the measured medium,
please contact your distributor.

1.2.3. SYMBOLS

The below mentioned symbols are used in these instructions for use to indicate the cases
when incorrect activity might result in the following difficulties:

PROHIBITIONS – non-observance of them could result in bodily harm or to
irretrievable damage of the PCE-PDA gauge.

RECOMMENDATIONS – they warn about different difficulties of the
operation. Non-observance of them can result in the gauge dysfunction or
wrong measurement.

TIPS – help and advise the user to use the gauge correctly.

1.3. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION

The digital pressure gauge series PCE-PDA is a battery portable service and workshop device,
intended for a wide use in industry, energetics, medical technology, air-conditioning,
laboratories, etc. It is also suitable for the 4Pa test. Its advantages are especially measuring
accuracy, a wide pressure range, possibility of a ten-times increase of sensibility, simple
operation, small dimensions, low consumption, a big amount of additional functions, USB
communication through a standard microUSB cable. The manual multifunctional pressure
gauge PCE-PDA is fitted into an ergonomically shaped casing from quality ABS plastic,
rubberized on the sides. The front side of the gauge is dominated by a big graphic display
with white backlights, covered with a foil keyboard with nine control buttons. For measuring
pressure ranges higher than 100 Pa, it is allowed to measure both gas and liquid non­aggressive media, but gauges for ranges lower than 100 Pa allow to measure only non­aggressive gases.
