1. Chigadzirwa Pamusoroview
The Dwyer Series 477AV Handheld Digital Manometer is an advanced instrument designed for precise pressure, flow, and velocity measurements. It features a highly accurate differential pressure sensor, offering ±0.5% full scale accuracy. The device displays negative, positive, and differential pressure, with selectable English and metric units. Its built-in air velocity and flow calculations streamline operations, eliminating the need for manual computations. The manometer can store up to 40 readings, making it ideal for HVAC technicians performing Pitot tube traverses for airflow analysis. Critical for maintenance personnel and technicians, the 477AV series ensures accurate performance checks of instrumentation and equipment. The digital display includes a backlight for visibility in low-light conditions, and battery conservation is managed with a low battery voltage display and an automatic shut-off feature after 20 minutes (adjustable or disable-able). Field calibration for zero and span values is supported, and a damping feature stabilizes fluctuating readings. An audible and visual alarm system warns of overflow, overpressure, or over-velocity conditions. The back of the aluminum casing features a menu structure outline for quick reference. The package includes comprehensive written instructions, a wrist strap, and a 9 Volt alkaline battery.

2. Setup
2.1 Kuiswa kwebhatiri
The Dwyer 477AV-2 requires a 9V alkaline battery for operation. The battery compartment is typically located on the back of the unit. Ensure the battery is installed correctly, observing polarity. The device is designed for user-replaceable batteries.
2.2 Connecting Hoses and Probes
Connect the provided hoses to the pressure ports on the top of the manometer. For static pressure measurements, attach the static pressure probes to the ends of the hoses. For gas pressure measurements, use the appropriate gas pressure fittings. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks and ensure accurate readings.

2.3 Power On and Zeroing
- Press and hold the ON/OFF button to power on the device.
- Before taking any measurements, ensure the manometer is exposed to ambient air (no pressure applied to the ports).
- Press the ZERO button to zero out the meter. This calibrates the device to the current atmospheric pressure, ensuring accurate differential readings.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Kuyerwa Kwekumanikidza
- Connect the hoses to the desired pressure points in the system.
- The display will show the pressure reading. Use the UNIT button to cycle through available pressure units (e.g., inWC, psi, kPa).
- For differential pressure, connect hoses to two different points (P1 and P2). The device will automatically calculate and display the differential pressure.

4.1 Kutsiviwa kwebhatiri
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V alkaline battery. Ensure the device is powered off before opening the battery compartment. Replace with a fresh 9V alkaline battery, observing correct polarity. If the device is used in a hazardous location, ensure the battery is changed in a non-hazardous location to maintain intrinsic safety.
4.2 Kuchenesa
Clean the exterior of the manometer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the pressure ports free from dust and debris. Periodically inspect hoses and probes for wear or damage and replace as necessary.
4.3 Kugadzirisa Munda
The Series 477AV can be field-calibrated by setting zero and span values. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included manual or the menu structure outline on the back of the device for the precise procedure.
