Connecting Devices

Pressure connections: Use clean, dry pressure source. HART: Connect to HART communicator or compatible transmitter. USB: For PC connection and data transfer.

Ensure pressure system is depressurized before connecting.
Use appropriate seals and thread tape for pressure connections.
For HART communication: Connect between transmitter and loop power supply.
USB connection: Use included cable for PC software interface.

Tip: Always bleed pressure slowly and verify connections are leak-free before applying full pressure.

Measurement Operations

Supports gauge, absolute, and differential pressure measurements.

Power on: Press and hold POWER for 2 seconds.
Select mode: Use MENU to choose MEASURE mode.
Apply pressure: Connect to pressure source, apply slowly to target pressure.
Record reading: Use ENTER to capture measurement or start continuous logging.
Zero check: Press ZERO to recalibrate at atmospheric pressure.
Unit change: Press UNIT to cycle through available pressure units.
HART communication: Press HART button to access smart device functions.
Data save: Press LOG to save current reading with timestamp.

WARNING! Do not subject to pressure spikes or overpressure conditions beyond rated maximum.

Data Management

Data Logging: Stores up to 1000 records with timestamp and measurement data. Data Transfer: USB connection to PC with Fatork Data Manager software. Report Generation: Create calibration certificates and reports via software.

Care & Maintenance

Regular cleaning: Wipe with soft, dry cloth. Pressure port cleaning: Use appropriate cleaners for port threads. Battery maintenance: Charge fully before storage; avoid complete discharge. Calibration interval: Recommended annual calibration by authorized service center.

CAUTION! Do not immerse in liquids. Avoid exposure to corrosive chemicals. Store in protective case when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No display	Battery depleted	Connect to charger; allow 30 minutes before use.
Inaccurate reading	Zero drift, contamination	Perform zero calibration; clean pressure ports.
HART not communicating	Connection, loop power	Check HART connections; verify 4-20mA loop has sufficient power.
USB not recognized	Driver, cable, port	Install Fatork drivers; try different USB cable/port.
Error code displayed	Sensor fault, overpressure	Note error code; refer to manual appendix; contact support if persistent.
Data logging full	Memory capacity reached	Transfer data to PC; clear memory via LOGGER menu.

Factory Reset: MENU > SYSTEM > RESET TO FACTORY (requires password: 0000).
