The gauge is calibrated at the factory using equipment traceable to 

NIST. There is no need to calibrate the gauge before putting it in 

service. Calibration should only be performed by qualified individu-

als using appropriate calibration standards and procedures. 
The calibration equipment should be at least four times more 

accurate than the gauge being calibrated. The calibration system 

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. 
For DAR models use an accurate volt or mA meter for calibration of 

the retransmission output.
Allow the gauge to equalize to normal room temperature (about 20 

minutes minimum) before calibration.

To enter the calibration mode from the normal operating mode with 

applied pressure being displayed, press and hold the TEST and the 

t

 buttons. Then press the SEL button. Release all buttons when 

the display indicates CAL.
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 section. 
Upon successful calibration pass code entry, the upper display will 

indicate the applied pressure in the configured engineering units. 
The lower display of the display will alternate between CAL and 

the calibration region corresponding to the applied pressure (ZERO, 

+MID, +SPAN, MID, or SPAN).
Note: To store the calibration parameters and exit calibration 

mode at any time, press and hold the SEL button until the display 

indicates  – – – – .

Calibration of the Retransmission Output (DAR only)

Calibration of the retransmission output coordinates the retransmis-

sion output to the display indication, and is performed independent-

ly of applied pressure. It requires a direct physical measurement of 

the retransmission output.

Retransmission Output Low Value (DAR only)

Press and release the SEL button to step to the retransmission output 

low value calibration sequence, indicated by LCAL on the display.
Note: If the SEL button is held depressed for longer than 2 seconds, 

the display will change to indicate – – – –, and the gauge will exit 

the calibration mode when all buttons are released.
The upper display will indicate the pre-configured pressure corre-

sponding to the retransmission output low value. The lower display 

will alternate between CAL and 4 mA.
Use the 

s

 and 

t

 buttons to adjust the actual retransmission output 

to its low value.

Retransmission Output High Value (DAR only)

Press and release the SEL button to step to the retransmission output 

high value calibration sequence, indicated by HCAL on the display.
Note: If the SEL button is held depressed for longer than 2 seconds, 

the display will change to indicate – – – –, and the gauge will exit 

the calibration mode when all buttons are released.
The upper display will indicate the pre-configured pressure corre-

sponding to the retransmission output high value. The lower display 

will alternate between CAL and 20 mA.
Use the 

s

 and 

t

 buttons to adjust the actual loop current to its 

high value.

Pressure Calibration

The pressure calibration procedure adjusts the display indication,  

and for DAR models also the retransmission output, to correspond 

to the actual applied pressure.
If the applied pressure is not being displayed, press and release the 

SEL button to step to the pressure calibration sequence, indicated 

by CAL on the display.

Note: If the SEL button is held depressed for longer than 2 seconds, 

the display will change to indicate  – – – – , and the gauge will exit 

the calibration mode when all buttons are released.

Zero calibration:

 Apply zero pressure. The lower display will alter-

nate between CAL and ZERO. Use the 

s

 and 

t

 buttons to adjust 

the upper display to indicate zero.

Span calibration:

 Apply full-scale pressure. The lower display will 

alternate between CAL and +SPAN. Use the 

s

 and 

t

 buttons to 

adjust the upper display to indicate the applied pressure value.

Midpoint Non-Linearity calibration:

 Apply 50% full-scale positive 

pressure. The lower display will alternate between CAL and +MID. 

Use the 

s

 and 

t

 buttons to adjust the upper display to indicate 

the applied pressure value.

Negative Span calibration (bipolar and compound ranges only): 

Apply full-scale negative pressure. The lower display will alternate 

between CAL and SPAN. Use the 

s

 and 

t

 buttons to adjust the 

upper display to indicate the applied pressure value.

Negative Midpoint Non-Linearity calibration (bipolar ranges only): 

Apply 50% full-scale negative pressure. The lower display will alter-

nate between CAL and MID. Use the 

s

 and 

t

 buttons to adjust the 

upper display to indicate the applied pressure value.
To store the calibration parameters and exit calibration mode, press 

and hold the SEL button until the display indicates  – – – – .

From the normal operating mode, press and hold the TEST and the 

s

 buttons. Then press the SEL button. Release all buttons when 

the display indicates CFG.

Calibration Pass Code

From the normal operating mode, press and hold the TEST and the 

t

 buttons. Then press the SEL button. Release all buttons when 

the display indicates CAL.

Test and Set Point Adjust Pass Code (optional)

From the normal operating mode, press and hold the TEST button. 

Then press the SEL button. Release all buttons when the display 

indicates  – – – – .
Before the unit enters the view or change pass code mode, the 

display initially indicates  _ _ _ _  with the first underscore blinking, 

and with CFGPC, CALPC, or TSTPC on the lower display.
Note: during pass code entry, the LEDs will be off and the gauge will 

not respond to changes in applied pressure. The output relays will 

maintain their prior states and the retransmission output will main-

tain its prior value. The gauge will automatically revert to normal 

operation if no buttons are operated for approximately 15 seconds.
