Power: The standard BetaGauge PIR is supplied with 3 AA
batteries installed. If you purchased the optional 24Volt powered
version, batteries are not installed. Connect a 24V power supply to
the terminal block on the rear of the gauge, noting proper polarity.
Do not install batteries when external power will be used.
Push the power button momentarily to turn the unit on. Push it
again to turn it off.
Set-up and configuration:
Push the CONFIG button to access the user-settable functions on
the gauge. Each time the CONFIG button is pressed; the display
advances to the next function. Once a function has been set,
press ENTER to exit the configuration menu, or CONFIG to
continue with further configuration. In order, the configuration
menu and operation is as follows:
1.
Engineering Units set. The unit is shipped configured to
display PSI. By pressing the
▲ and ▼ (ZERO and MAX/MIN)
keys you can scroll forward and backwards through the 18
standard engineering units plus a one custom unit/scale.
When the desired unit is displayed, press ENTER or CONFIG.
Pressure will now be displayed in the chosen engineering
