ABOUT THIS MANUAL

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual is intended to provide the user with the basic information necessary to operate an RPM4 reference pressure monitor. It also includes a great deal of additional information provided to allow you to optimize RPM4 use and take full advantage of its many features and functions.

RPM4-AD is a special air data configuration of RPM4 which has its own dedicated manual, p/n 550148. This manual is for all other configurations of RPM4. If your are using an RPM4-AD (“-AD” in front panel configuration window) use the RPM4-AD Operation and Maintenance Manual p/n 550148.

Before using the manual, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Table of Contents structure: Sections 1, 2 and 3 should be read by all first time RPM4 users. Section 3 is most important for those using the local front panel interface but should be read over by all users to familiarize themselves with general RPM4 operating principles. Section 4 is for remote operation from an external computer. Section 5 provides maintenance and calibration information. Section 6 is a quick troubleshooting guide. Use it to troubleshoot unexpected RPM4 behavior based on the symptom of that behavior. Certain words and expressions have specific meaning as they pertain to RPM4. The Glossary, Section 6, is useful as a quick reference for exact definition of specific words and expressions as they are used in the manual.

For those of you who “don’t read manuals”, go directly to Section 2.3 to set up your RPM4 and then go to Section 2.4 for power-up and verification. This will get you up and running quickly with a minimal risk of causing damage to yourself or your new RPM4. THEN… when you have questions or start to wonder about all the great features you might be missing, get into the manual!
