actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word “CAUTION” is used to indicate
conditions or actions that may damage the instruments.

WARNING

To ensure safe operation and service of these probes, follow these instructions. Failure to
observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.

WARNING
Not exceed the following maximum pressure limits.
WVG2 Vacuum Gauge maximum over pressure 700 psi.
WPP1 Pressure Gauge maximum over pressure 1000 psi.

WARNING

• Do not open these probes to replace batteries while the probes are connected.

• To avoid false readings, replace batteries if a low battery indicator appears.

• Do not use these probes if they appear damaged.

• Always adhere to national and local safety codes. Use proper personal protective
equipment (PPE).

WARNING
These probes are designed for trade professionals who are familiar with the hazards of

their trade.

FCC/IC INFORMATION

FCC and IC STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment complies with FCC/IC RSS102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas
l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autoris é e aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil
doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible
d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

FCC AND IC NOTICE

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada license-exempt
RSS 247. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference; and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Cet appareil est conforme à la partie 15 des règles de la FCC, ainsi qu’à la norme RSS
247 exempte de licence d’Industrie Canada. Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux
conditions suivantes : (1) Cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d’interférences nuisibles;
et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toutes les interférences reçues, y compris celles
susceptibles d’entraîner un dysfonctionnement de l’appareil.

FCC CAUTION

The device must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

Caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

L’appareil ne doit pas être placé ou utilisé conjointement avec une autre antenne ou un
autre émetteur.

Attention à l’utilisateur que des changements ou des modifications non expressément
approuvés par la partie responsable pour la conformité pourrait annuler l’autorité de
l’utilisateur pour faire fonctionner l’équipement.

a.The device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between
the radiator and your body.

L’appareil doit être installé et utilisé avec une distance minimale de 20 cm entre le radia­teu et votre corps.

b.This device complies with RSS247 of Industry Canada. Cet appareil se conforme à
RSS247 de Canada d’Industrie. This device complies with Industry Canada license­exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. appareils
radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux conditions
suivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage prejudiciable, et (2) ce
dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage recu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de
provoquer un fonctionnement indesirable.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Disposal

PLEASE

RECYCLE

Caution: This symbol indicates that equipment and its accessories shall

be subject to separate collection and correct disposal.

Cleaning

Periodically clean your probes case using a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive, flammable
liquids, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents as they may damage the finish, impair
safety, or affect the reliability of the structural components.

Cleaning the WVG2 Vacuum Sensor

If the vacuum sensor becomes contaminated with oil, follow this procedure:

1. Power off the WVG2

2. Carefully shake the gauge to remove any large quantities of oil from the sensor

3. Apply a few drops of rubbing alcohol inside the vacuum port
(DO NOT INSERT ANY OBJECT INTO PORT, AS THIS WILL PERMATENTLTLY

DAMAGE THE SENSOR)

4. Place your finger over the port and shake for 30 seconds

5. Remove your finger and allow alcohol to flow out the sensor part

6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 at least three times

7. Allow the sensor to air dry over at least an hour, or pull a vacuum on the sensor to to.
Dry it more quickly

8. Power on the WVG2, which should be ready for use.

NOTE: It is important to remove all the vapors from the sensor, either through air-drying or via
vacuum. Any remaining vapors will cause an incorrect reading

Storage

Remove the batteries when instrument is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Do not
expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions
exceeding the limits mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow the instrument
to return to normal operating conditions before using it.
