Calibration Preparation 

The gauge is calibrated at the factory using equipment trace-
able to NIST. There is no need to calibrate the gauge before 
putting it in service. Calibration should only be performed by 
qualified individuals using appropriate calibration standards 
and procedures. 
The calibration equipment should be at least four times more 
accurate than the gauge being calibrated. The calibration sys-
tem must be able to generate and measure pressure/vacuum 
over the full range of the gauge. A vacuum pump able to 
produce a vacuum of 100 microns (0.1 torr or 100 millitorr) or 
lower is required for vacuum and absolute gauges. 
Allow the gauge to equalize to normal room temperature (about 
20 minutes minimum) before calibration.

.

When the gauge enters the calibration mode, the display initially 
indicates  _ _ _ _  with the first underscore blinking, and with 

CALPC

 on the lower display. 

Enter the pass code as described in the Pass Code Entry sec-
tion. 
Upon successful calibration pass code entry, the upper display 
will indicate the applied pressure in the configured engineer-
ing units.
