*The displayed reading is based on standard conditions – dry air at 70° F and a 
barometric pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury. 
**The control will automatically switch to x10 or x100 for velocity or flow when 
the reading exceeds four digits.  This will be indicated on the LED by alternating 

the flow or velocity reading with the “

Resolution (Res)

 – The pressure reading on the LED display can be shown 

with 3 or 4 digits.  In some cases, the fourth digit is outside of the accuracy 
of the product and insignificant.  If the fourth digit is used and is 
insignificant, there may be fluctuations in that digit.
