BluVac+ LTE User’s Guide

Q. I removed the BluVac+ LTE from the system under vacuum, but the indicated pressure rises
slowly and/or the gauge does not return to Hi-P. Is the BluVac+ LTE damaged?
A. No. The slow rise in pressure is due to residual refrigerant gas captured in the sensor. Gently
blowing air into the sensor to remove the residual gas will effect an immediate rise to Hi-P.
Q. My BluVac+ LTE reads a different pressure than my other vacuum gauge from another
manufacture. Which gauge is correct?
A. Unlike all other micron gauges, the accuracy of the BluVac+ LTE is independent of temperature
and pressure. Therefore, you can be confident that the BluVac+ LTE’s reading is correct. Other
gauges are calibrated at a specific temperature and pressure (i.e. 500 microns and 77°F (25°C)). The
accuracy of those gauges is necessarily derated when operated at pressures and temperatures
different than the calibration values.
Q. I am still having problems using the BluVac+ LTE and/or understanding the readings it is giving
me. What should I do?
