After the required stabilisation 
time period (60 seconds) has 
been achieved, press and 
hold the 

“Light”

 key - this 

“drops” the live pressure at 
that particular time to the 
bottom of the screen.  The 
display alternates between 

“P1”

 and the “dropped” 

pressure 

(see example 5.11 

for an example)

.  

 
After the test period has been 
achieved, press and hold 

“Light”

 again to clear the 

alternating display of 

“P1”

and 

the “dropped” pressure 
reading.  A solid 

“P2”

 is 

displayed at the bottom of the 
screen. 
 
Press and hold 

“Light”

 for the 

second time to “drop” the 
second (end of test) pressure 
to the bottom.  
 
The display will alternate 
between the 

“P2”

 and the 

“dropped” pressure for this 
part of the test. 
 

 

After 3 minutes and 6 
seconds (displayed as 306 
– 3 minutes and 6 
seconds), the “start” and 
“finish” results are the 
same  

 
 
5.1.2.  Soundness/Tightness Test (Cont.) 
 

                                   

 

 

Display 
alternates 
between 

”P2” 

and the 
“dropped” 
pressure when 
single pressure 
reading is made
