  • indicate the temperature compensation has been enabled or disabled. It can be set in the pressure-holding settings interface.
    Temperature compensation enabled: The device will monitor the current ambient temperature in real-time to reduce the pressure variation error caused by the change in the ambient temperature.

  • Temperature compensation disabled: The device calculate based on the measured pressure.

  • Click to set decay ratio and pressure-holding time and choose if to enable or disable the temperature compensation based on the actual situation.

  • Click to start the pressure-holding test. The countdown timer starts to elapse according to the duration that has been set. During the process, the device calculates the pressure variants and the deflation rate automatically based on the current and initial value. The test failed if the current value is less than the alarm value; the test passed if the current value is greater than the alarm value and exceeds the pressure-holding duration.

Failed to turn on the device Connect the device to the charger and try

to turn it on after 5 minutes.
The touch screen doesn’t work| Make sure the environment temperature is within the working temperature range (-14-122°F/-10-5C°C).
The measured temperature shows “–| Check if the temperature clamp is fully connected or if the
measuring temperature is out of the measurement range.
Pressure zone display “E02”| Pressure uncalibrated
The pressure value shows a large error| Please place the device in the atmospheric environment to calibrate zero.
Vacuum display “—-“| The system has a large leak, or the vacuum transmitter data is abnormal.
No response after clicking the interface button| System crashes. Long press the Power button for 7s to restart the system.
