•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 sales@vaetrix.com or call at 888-797-
3740.
•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 two screws located in the battery door. The
gauge is sealed to meet IP-65 so make sure the battery door
screws are tight. Communications for datalogging and
downloads is handed by USB. A standard USB to Micro B
cable will work. For further details on all important
measurement parameters consult the specifications section
in the manual.

•Admin –Reduce Resolution
The least significant digit will removed from the display
when selecting REDUCE RESOLUTION. This feature can be
useful for recording values and pulsating pressure if
damping is not used. Full resolution can be restored by
entering back in Admin and selecting INCREASE
RESOLUTION.
•Admin –Adjust Calibration
We recommend calibration on an annual basis. Calibration
frequency should be determined by your quality system
based on history, usage, and other key criteria.
Although we suggest you return the ETG to factory for
calibration, you can field calibrate the unit with trained
personnel and equipment traceable to the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST). To begin the process
select ADJUST CALIBRATION.

•Admin –Adjust Calibration
The unit will prompt you to apply the high reference
pressure. We recommend that you are within 10% of the
high pressure reference setpoint. Enter in the known value
by using the ARROW keys to increase or decrease digits and
confirm with the SELECT key.
Follow the same steps for the low pressure reference
setpoint. Once again, we recommend you are with 10% of
the setpoint.
•Admin –Adjust Calibration
The unit will respond by with “Storing Calibration” and
return to Measure Mode.
Certain pressure ranges may have more than two pressure
reference setpoints. Follow the same procedure of entering
in the known value and confirming with SELECT key. Once
the calibration is complete verify the gauge is within
specification by the running the up and down scale
throughout range. Reference the original Certificate of
Calibration for cardinal points.

•Bargraph
The bargraph on the left-hand side of the display indicates
the pressure value from 0% to 100% based on the pressure
range of the gauge purchased. It is an excellent reference
tool to remind the end user of the safe working pressure
and is broken down into ten segments.
If you prefer not to use the bar graph, it can be turned OFF
by using the RIGHT arrow key and pressing SELECT.
