Allow approximately 3 minutes warm-up time before taking
readings; this allows the electronics to stabilize in the Tester.

the Tester (See Figure 1 for location of ZERO knob).

5. When the monitor has zeroed, reposition the valve of the

stopcock as shown in Figure 3.

Pressure Measurement

1. Position the stopcock as shown in Figure 4.
2. Move the thumbwheel of the Tester to change the static

pressure generated. See Figure 1 for location of thumbwheel.

The thumbwheel is rotated down for positive pressure or up for

vacuum pressures.

3. Observe

the

LCD.

4. Compare the LCD reading on the Tester to the monitor reading

to determine the accuracy of the measurement system.

Note

If the system appears to be losing pressure, carefully check all
fittings and connections.
