Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing TPI brand products. This meter is easy to use and is built to last. It is backed by a 2 year limited warranty. Please remember to return your product warranty registration card.
Product Description
The TPI 621 is a hand held pressure meter with supe­rior resolution .
TPI 610 - Single Input - 4 Function - single unit of pressure
All these models measure over the range of -40.0 to +120.0 mbar. Each unit has a resolution of 0.01 mbar to +19.00 mbar and automatically auto-ranges above ± 19.00 mbar to 0.1 mbar resolution. Each model is supplied complete with carry pouch, battery and instruction manual.
Safety Considerations
WARNING: Please follow the manufacturer's test procedure whenever possible. Make sure the pressure to be measured is not outside the range of the TPI 621 meter.

• Test the pressure meter before use to ensure it is operating properly
• Ensure that the connecting hose you are using is free from kinks or splits
• Double check all connections before testing
NEVER
• Connect the Instrument to an unknown pres-
sure source if the source is twice the working pressure of the instrument the sensor will be damaged and may cause injury to the user
• Tamper with the instrument or attempt to
modify it in any way. Otherwise, accident and injury may occur and the warranty becomes void.
Technical Data
Controls
Turns the 621 on. Hold down to turn unit off.
ZERO Momentarily press the button to
“ZERO” the dispaly (“ZERO” will flash on the lower left of the LCD)
= Smoothing function to stabilize rapidly
changing pressure readings
UNITS Selects 7 units of pressure kPa, PSI, inHg,
mmHg inH2O, mmH2O, mbar
Turns the back light on (automatically turns off after 30 seconds)
Features & Benefits
Autoranging - Provides high resolution &
accuracy at low
Auto Power Off - Powers off after 40 minutes to
conserve battery life.
Trim Mode - Smoothing function to stabilize
erratic readings. It displays the average value of 4 values previously measured.

Step by Step Procedures
1. Press the 'ON' key and the LCD display will be activated and automatically zeroed (if it does not read 0.00 proceed as follows
2. Momentarily Press the key and the display should zero within +/- 0.05 if not repeat until it does
3. Connect pressure meter to installation or equipment to be tested using appropriate hose connection in accordance with the manufacturers instructions
4. The pressure reading will appear on the display. To activate the backlight in poor light conditions press the key at any time
5. If the reading is erratic or changing activate the smoothing function by pressing the '=' key
6. To convert the displayed pressure reading to another engineering unit depress the 'UNIT' key anytime and scroll through to the desired units of pressure.
