3. Attach a hand pump or air compressor to the tire-valve portion of the
Testing Kit’s Tee, and then pump up the system to the desired pres-
sure (not to exceed 99 psig).
4. Press the key until the letter “d” appears in the RANGE window,
indicating that the Gas Pup is now operating in its delta pressure
mode. The value “0.0” should now appear in the READING window,
indicating that the pressure being measured equals the high-pressure
reading just taken.
Note: The delta and low-pressure modes are activated in the
same manner. The difference being that the low-pressure mode
is entered while the instrument’s pressure port is open to the
atmosphere, while the delta mode is entered with pressure
already applied to the instrument.
5. Monitor the value in the READING window. The value displayed
indicates the difference in pressure (in the range of ±9.9 psig) between
the current reading and the initial pressure measurement. Positive
pressure readings, probably due to a rise in temperature, are indi-
cated by a steady display, while negative readings that are due to
leaks are indicated by a flashing display. Note that an out-of-range
pressure condition is identified by two dashes “–.–” appearing in the
READING window.
