2 Description

The digital pressure gauge is mainly composed of a housing, a pressure sensor and a signal
processing circuit and has the advantages of high precision, good corrosion resistance, impact
resistance, shock resistance, small temperature drift, and good stability.

Please note the following when using:

1. Clear it before use. Due to the difference in atmospheric pressure and stress after
installation, the product may show a little pressure. Please clear it before using it again
(make sure the meter is not under pressure when it is cleared).

2. This product has a built-in pressure sensor, which is a precision device. Please do not
disassemble it yourself. Do not use a hard object to probe or touch the diaphragm to
avoid damaging the sensor.

3. Use a wrench to install. Before installing the product, make sure that the interface
threads match the gauge threads and use a hex wrench; do not rotate the case directly.

4 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament
applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.
They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use
them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with
your local waste regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
