Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Vaetrix Test Gauge. Vaetrix is 

engineered by individuals that have been in the process 

control industry for well over twenty years. We take pride in 

the fact that our products are designed and manufactured in 

the USA. The gauge itself is backed by an industry leading 

four-year warranty. Our products are designed and built to 

take abuse. We would have it no other way.
The only way we can get better is by listening to you, the 

customer. If you have any comments or suggestions feel free 

to send us an email at 

[email protected]

or call at 888-797-

Brief Overview

The gauge is powered by 3 AA alkaline batteries that provide 

over 1000 hours of continuous use. To replace the batteries 

just remove the screw located in the battery door or use a 

coin for the HTGX Series. Communications for datalogging 

and downloads is handed by USB. A standard USB to Micro B 

cable will work for the HTG Series or A Standard USB to B for 

the HTGX (printer-style cable). For further details on all 

important measurement parameters consult the 

specifications section in the manual.
