A. INTRODUCTION

1

1. Congratulations: Thank you for purchasing TPI products. The SP620 is
easy to use and built to last. It is backed by a 3 year limited warranty

2. Product Description: The SP620 is a differential manometer “Smart
Probe”. It connects to your mobile device and uses the TPI Smart
Probe App to display temperature readings. Data can be exported to a
CSV file as well.

B. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

1. Never attach the SP620 to a hot surface.

2. Always ensure the pressure being measured does not exceed the capa­bility of the SP620.

3. Never use the SP620 to measure liquid pressure.

4. Do not expose the unit to damp environments for extended periods of
time.

D. INSTRUMENT OVERVIEW

1. Input connection for pressure measurements. Inputs are
marked + and -.

2. SP620 status LED indicator.

pressure.

3. Tapping the list icon allows
optional functions to be
accessed. These include
Show/Hide, Unit, and Zeroing
Sensors.

Set the units of measure at this
time.

Show/Hide : Allows a device
to be seen or hidden. Useful
