Check

 

the

 

product

 

specifications

 

Before

 

starting

 

to

 

use

 

this

 

product,

 

check

 

the

 

product

 

specifications

 

that

 

can

 

be

 

found

 

in

 

this

 

manual

 

or

 

the

 

basic

 

information

 

located

 

on

 

the

 

back

 

panel

 

of

 

the

 

product.

 

The

 

detailed

 

product

 

technical

 

specifications

 

can

 

be

 

found

 

in

 

Section

 

7.

  

For

 

a

 

specific

 

application,

 

the

 

pressure

 

rating

 

must

 

not

 

be

 

higher

 

than

 

the

 

system

 

pressure

 

to

 

be

 

measured,

 

and

 

the

 

flow

 

range

 

should

 

also

 

be

 

within

 

the

 

specified

 

ones.

 

In

 

most

 

cases,

 

the

 

use

 

of

 

a

 

high

 

full

scale

 

ranged

 

meter

 

for

 

the

 

very

 

low

 

flow

 

rate

 

measurement

 

often

 

results

 

in

 

erroneous

 

data.

 

The

 

gas

 

to

 

be

 

measured

 

must

 

also

 

be

 

consistent

 

with

 

that

 

specified

 

by

 

the

 

product.

 

Be

 

particularly

 

cautious

 

about

 

the

 

supplied

 

voltage

 

indicated

 

in

 

the

 

specification.

 

A

 

higher

 

voltage

 

may

 

lead

 

to

 

irrecoverable

 

damage,

 

and

 

a

 

lower

 

voltage

 

will

 

not

 

power

 

the

 

product

 

for

 

any

 

desired

 

functions.

 

For

 

the

 

best

 

performance

 

of

 

the

 

product,

 

it

 

is

 

advised

 

that

 

the

 

gas

 

to

 

be

 

measured

 

must

 

be

 

clean

 

and

 

free

 

of

 

particles

 

or

 

other

 

foreign

 

materials.

   

5.2

 

Check

 

the

 

leakage

  

Check

 

gas

 

leakage

 

before

 

any

 

measurement.

  

If

 

it

 

is

 

needed,

 

the

 

pressurized

 

nitrogen

 

or

 

air

 

can

 

be

 

used

 

for

 

the

 

leakage

 

check.

 

5.3

 

Power

 

the

 

meter

 

and

 

digital

 

data

 

connection

 

Although

 

this

 

product

 

complies

 

with

 

the

 

CE

required

 

EMC

 

regulations,

 

it

 

also

 

requires

 

the

 

product

 

to

 

be

 

used

 

according

 

to

 

the

 

standard

 

electrical

 

device

 

practice.

  

For

 

general

purpose

 

usage,

 

the

 

meter

 

can

 

be

 

powered

 

by

 

4

 

AA

 

batteries.

  

Be

 

sure

 

to

 

select

 

the

 

batteries

 

with

 

safety

 

proof

 

and

 

within

 

the

 

expiration

 

date.

  

Do

 

not

 

use

 

batteries

 

without

 

a

 

known

 

manufacturer

 

and

 

expiration

 

date.

 

For

 

models

 

with

 

control

 

valves

 

or

 

for

 

extensive

 

usage,

 

it

 

is

 

recommended

 

to

 

have

 

the

 

meter

 

powered

 

with

 

external

 

DC

 

power

 

or

 

an

 

AC

DC

 

adapter.

  

Make

 

sure

 

the

 

supply

 

voltage

 

is

 

within

 

the

 

range

 

of

 

the

 

specified

 

ones

 

in

 

Section

 

7.

  

Before

 

connecting

 

the

 

product

 

with

 

the

 

external

 

power,

 

make

 

sure

 

the

 

standard

 

electrical

 

device

 

precautions

 

such

 

as

 

EDS

 

(electrostatic

 

discharge)

 

and

 

DC

 

voltage

 

are

 

observed.

 

Excessive

 

electrostatic

 

discharge

 

may

 

damage

 

the

 

product.
