Before running AutoZ in gauge mode, ensure that the pressure applied to the

Q-RPT is truly zero gauge (atmospheric pressure). If running AutoZ in gauge mode
results in a zero offset that RPM4 considers unusually large, <Confirm 0 gauge P!> is

displayed. Check that zero gauge pressure is applied to the Q-RPT module rear panel

TEST(+) port and the ATM port is open to atmosphere and unobstructed.

Allow the RPM4 to stabilize at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature

for 2 to 3 minutes before running AutoZ in gauge mode.
