User's Guide Pressure Meter SD Card real-time datalogger Model SDL700
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech SDL700 Pressure Meter, an SD Logger Series meter. This meter displays and stores pressure readings from optional pressure sensors in the range of 30, 150, 300 psi. Supported measurement units are bar, psi, Kg/cm2, mm Hg, inch Hg, meters of H2O, inches of H2O, atmosphere, hPA, and kPA. Logged data readings are stored on an SD card for transfer to a PC. In addition, an RS232 port allows data streaming to a PC.
Getting Started Power ON-OFF • Power the meter by pressing and holding the power button • • Press and hold the power button for at least 1.5 seconds to power OFF the meter.

Press the MAX-MIN button momentarily to access this mode of operation (REC icon appears) The meter is now recording the MAX and MIN readings. Press the MAX-MIN button again to view the current MAX readings (MAX icon appears).
Automatic Datalogging In automatic datalogging mode the meter takes and stores a reading at a user-specified sampling rate onto an SD memory card. The meter defaults to a sampling rate of two seconds. To change the sampling rate, refer to the Setup Mode section (the sampling rate cannot be ‘0’ for automatic datalogging): 1. Select the sampling rate in the Setup Mode to a value other than zero. 2. Press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds.
