Congratulations on your purchase of the Manometer! This instrument is portables battery operated pressure
measuring device.
The Manometer is ideal for HVAC/R technicians measuring pressure level, Medical equipment computer
peripherals, pneumatic Controls.
INTRODUCTION
• The meter will display all LCD segments when it is first turned on for approx. 3 seconds. Though you
might have seen DATALOGGER, Y/M/D, REL, AVG ... these are not available for the meter. The meter
with data logger features named 8205D/821 5D/8280D/821 OOD. Please contact the store or the place
you purchased.
• The LCD is divided into two distinct sections: One large (Primary) top screen and one smaller rightbottom bottom screens (relative Clock), The 2 display areas keep you constantly updated with the)
pressure measurements.
• The Meter measures Gauge pressure-a measure of pressure in psi that is referenced to ambient
pressure and Differential pressure - a measure of the difference two pressures.
• 11 pressure units are selectable for Imperial and Metric in the different area: bar, mmHg, ozin², kgcm²,
psi, inH2, kPa, ftH2O|, inHg, cmH2O, mbar.
• Please check the tubing is not leakage or damaged before using

MANUAL ZERO SETTING
When you set the display to zero (no pressure applied to the connector), press button for 2 seconds, now
the meter display ''0 .0.0.0'' from right to left and then disappear each ''0'' from left back to right, the LCD display
shows a normal mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Power on but no display. Check the batteries are in place and making good contact or correct polarity,
replace a new battery or attach optional AC adaptor for the weak battery caused.
• BAT indication. Replace with a now battery when LCD display BAT at the middle bottom.
• No Display. Make sure battery is not empty, if the display disappears, check sleep mode is active. Refer
to the Disable sleep mode function for a long time using the measurement. Or check the tubing is
connected to the meter tightly.
• Err.1. For the pressure value exceed the maximum range, ''Err. 1'' appears on the display, p1ease
change the sensor, otherwise, the sensor will be hurt for going on the over range measurement.
• Err.2. For the measurement pressure is less than minimum range, ''Err. 2'' will appear recommend to
change the sensor (meter).
• Err.3. For operating the DIF function, the differential pressure value is larger than maximum display
digit, Err.3 appears on the display.
• Err.4. When you set zero, make sure you have disconnected the tubing, no pressure applied to the
connector. Then if you see an Err.4 appears on the display, it means the sensor or meter damaged.
Return the unit to the store you purchased for repaired.
Err.4 will be also appeared while the tube or hose is connecting during setting zero mode.
• E1OL or E2UL. When you see the errors while operating RS232 software, it means pressure source is
less or over than the range of the instrument.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Replace your 9-volt battery when:
• The BAT icon appears on the right of the screen.
• The meter will not power on.
• Use of the back-light causes the BAT icon to appear.
Even if the battery was recently replaced check its voltage level if you get no response from your instrument.
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the tubing of the instrument.
2. Lay the instrument face-down on a clean, flat surface.
3. Remove the battery by screw driver and observe indicated polarity and close the cover after replacing
with a new battery.
Remove battery from instruments that you do not plan to use for a month or more.
Do not leave battery in instrument.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
• Compensated temperature range: 0 – 50°C
• Operating temperature 0 – 50°C (32 – 122°F)
• Storage temperature range: -20 – 60°C
• Operating Humidity Max. 80% RH
• Power: One 9.0 volt battery
• Exceeding Maximum pressure will cause permanent sensor damage.

The meter Pressure measurement instruments are not suitable for the absolute pressure measurement.
The meter instruments are fitted with two 4.8mm lugs. Before you connect the instruments to a pressure
sources, check carefully the security of ail fitting.
RS232 OUTPUT
The meter can link both personal computer to capture on-line dates display pressure records with real-time
output, you can retrieve file save the datas for operating data analysis, records statistic, multi-files display in the
screen,....versatile functions for your choice.
Connection procedures:
1. Plug the optional accessory RS232 cable onto the DC jack port (at the right side of the meter)
2. Insert the D-sub 9P type connector onto computer's Com 1 or 2 port or…
3. Start to set up RS232 software by inserting the CD-ROM or Floppy diskette.
4. When installing the RS232 software please follow the operation manual procedure in the software
package.
WARRANTY
The meter is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the
date of purchase. This warranty covers normal operation and does not cover battery, misuse, abuse, alteration,
tampering, neglect, improper maintenance, or damage resulting from leaking batteries.
Proof of purchase is required for warranty repairs. Warranty is void if the meter has been opened.
RETURN AUTHORIZATION
Authorization must be obtained from the supplier before returning items for any reason, When requiring a RA
(Return Authorization) please include data regarding the defective reason, the meters are to be returned along
with good packing to prevent any damage in shipment and insured against possible damage or loss.
