8. Vacuum
a. Performance Check
(1) Operate pneumatic pressure standard for TI indications 5 inHg absolute. The
pneumatic pressure standard will indicate between 4.75 and 5.25 inHg absolute.
(2) Repeat technique of (1) above for remaining TI indications listed in table 4.
Pneumatic pressure standard will indicate within limits specified.
NOTE
Gently tap TI before each reading to reduce error due to

9. Pressure
a. Performance Check
NOTE
Local atmospheric pressure may vary, but 0 psi gage (psig)
should be approximately 29.7 inHg or 14.7 psi absolute (psia).
(1) Configure pneumatic pressure standard as indicated in (a) through (d) below.
(a) Select psi units.
(b) Select Absolute mode and 315 psia range.
(c) Press Set-up button. Select User menu and zero the 315 psia range.
(d) Press Task button. Select Basic to return to Task: Basic menu.
