5 Measurement Basics

5.1 Special functions

With the special functions that can be selected via the Configuration menu, the device can be optimized for special measuring tasks. After it is switched on, the device starts up in standard measuring mode, the relevant special function is started by pressing and holding the Function key for 4 s.

5.1.1 NVLL Tare function

The special function FVNC NVLL has been selected in the configuration menu.

The display can be zeroed by pressing the Function key for 4 s. If the tare function is activated, NVLL blinks in the lower display. The tare function can be reset by pressing the Function key again for 4 s.

Note

The tare function is independent of the zero point correction accessible via the adjustment menu.

5.1.2 F,NE High-resolution measurement with 0.1 Pa (ECO 210-3) or 1 Pa (ECO 210-5)

ECO 210-3	High-resolution measurement for the finest adjustment work, 4 Pascal Test (test of chimney draft with living-space-independent single combustion) and many other finely adjusted pressure applications.
ECO 210-5	High-resolution measurement for the finest adjustment work and many other applications with the finest adjustment of pressure.

In the Configuration menu, the special function FVNC F,NE has been selected.
The high-resolution measurement can be activated by pressing and holding the Function key for 4 s. Then the sensor is immediately zeroed and the optimized parameters for this measurement are activated.

Caution

When starting the special function, make sure that there is no pressure at the connections.

Note

The increased current consumption in this mode decreases battery life.

The quickly determined measurement replaces other devices, such as a U-tube manometer. The four bars in the lower display provide additional support.

▶ The two middle bars appear: Measurement is stable
▶ Left bars appear: the measurement decreases
▶ Right bars appear: the measurement increases

By pressing and holding the Function key for 2 s the special function can be deactivated. END FVNC appears in the display.

5.1.3 AVR 0:02 / AVR 0:05 / AVR 0:10

Fast measurement with mean value over 2 s / 5 s / 10 s

• Mean value mode for measurement of heavily fluctuating pressures.
- In the Configuration mode, a special function AVR 0:02, AVR 0:05 or AVR 0:10 has been selected.
- By pressing and holding the Function key for 4 s the measurement with mean value can be activated.
- Heavily fluctuating values arise particularly with dynamic pressure/compression measurements in chimney draft tests of forced-air burners and, consequently, conventional electronic manometers are not adequate for task. This special function optimizes the device for this application purpose.
- The different mean value times of 2, 5 or 10 seconds can be selected depending on the requirement.
- The first parameter is shown in the auxiliary display.

By pressing and holding the Function key for 2 s the special function can be deactivated. END FVNC appears in the display.

If the tare function is active when calling up the special function AVR, it can be reset by pressing the function key for 4 seconds. In order to reactivate tare, the special function must be changed in the configuration menu.

5.2 Pressure Connection

The device measures the pressure difference between the two connection ports.

• [+] higher pressure
- [-] lower pressure

Measurement takes place against ambient air for relative pressure measurements, for which purpose the pressure hose is connected to [+] , [-] remains free.

Note

Silicon hoses are not necessarily suitable for pressures up to 2 bar, depending on dimensioning. Check for suitability!

Caution Air pressure at port variant UT!

With higher pressures greater than 1 bar, the hoses must be secured to prevent unintended loosening. Suitable GDZ hose clamps are used for this purpose.

▶ 6x1 mm PVC (GDZ-01) up to 5 bar rel., vacuum-suitable!
▶ 6x1 mm PE (GDZ-02) up to 10 bar rel., vacuum-suitable!
▶ 6x1 mm PUR (GDZ-03) up to 9 bar rel., vacuum-suitable!

5.2.1 Replacement of pressure hoses

The pressure connections are screwed into the product with a standard G 1/8 inch thread with end seal. All common pressure connections with this design can be connected.

Note

Use a suitable tool for tightening and observe the maximum torque of 2 Nm!

Supplied connection:

6 Operation and maintenance

6.1 Operating and maintenance notices

Note

Pressure connections must be protected from soiling.

6.2 Battery

6.2.1 Battery indicator

If the empty frame in the battery display blinks, the batteries are depleted and must be replaced. However, the device will still operate for a certain length of time.

If the BAT display text appears in the main display, the battery voltage is no longer adequate for operation of the device. The battery is fully depleted.

Danger Danger of explosion!

Using damaged or unsuitable batteries can generate heat, which can cause the batteries to crack and possibly explode!

▶ Only use high-quality and suitable alkaline batteries!

Caution Damage

If the batteries have different charge levels, leaks and thus damage to the device can occur.

▶ Only use high-quality and suitable alkaline batteries!
▶ Do not use different types of batteries!
▶ Remove depleted batteries immediately and dispose of them at a suitable collection point.

Note

▶ Unnecessary unscrewing endangers the protection against moisture and should therefore be avoided.
▶ Read the following handling instructions before replacing batteries and follow them step by step.
▶ If disregarded, the device could be damaged or the protection from moisture could be diminished.

1 Unscrews the Phillips screws (A) and remove the cover.
2 Carefully replace the two Mignon AA batteries (B). Ensure that the polarity is correct! It must be possible to insert the batteries in the correct position without using force.
3 The O-ring (C) must be undamaged, clean and positioned at the intended depth.
4 Fit the cover (D) on evenly. The O-ring must remain at the intended depth!
5 Tighten the Phillips screws (A).

7 Disposal

Separation by material and recycling of device components and packaging must take place at the time of disposal. The valid regional statutory regulations and directives applicable at the time must be observed.

Note

vice must not be disposed of with household waste. Return it to us, freight prepaid. We will then arrange for the proper and environmentally friendly disposal.
