1. Connect the regulator’s fitting port to the low
calibration gauge with tubing.
2. Turn the mode selector switch to | (On).
3. Ensure that the gauge is in agreement with the
low vacuum calibration gauge within the ± 10

tolerance for standard and low gauges respectively.
Recommended test points are 40 and 80 mmHg

and 140 mmHg (18.7 kPa) for standard model only.
4. For the standard gauge ONLY: Rotate the suction
