INTRODUCTION
The Digimet 3000 is a 5-key, hand-held,
battery operated, microprocessor-based
vacuum and pulsation multi-function
testing meter for measuring vacuum level
characteristics and pulsation attributes in a
milking system. The Digimet 3000’s stored
data can be either viewed on its LCD
screen, uploaded to a computer or printed
to the Digimet
®
Printer.
The Digimet 3000 stores and displays the
following types of information:
• Average Vacuum level
• Maximum Vacuum level until reset by
user
• Minimum Vacuum level until reset by
user
• Fluctuation level with user-set time
frames
• Pulsation ratio with A, B, C and D
phases in percentages and milliseconds
• Evaluation of the B phase - B Fluc
• Maximum and Minimum vacuum per
pulse
• Pulses per minute
• Pulsation Limits can be set for various
pulsation attributes.
• In the Pulsator Ratio Function when
limits are not met or exceeded the value
will blink.
• Unit calculates the Limping Ratio
• Milk/Rest ratio with user-selected Liner
Collapse Point
• Electrical pulsation with On versus Off
time, Maximum & Minimum voltage per
pulse, PPM
• Units measured may be Inches Hg
mercury or kilopascals (kPa)
• Data items can be labeled
• Up to five 10-second graphs can be
saved and later printed or downloaded.
Graphs can be printed to the Digimet
Printer or uploaded to a computer.
• Pulsator data can be stored as single or
dual pulsation.
• User set auto shut-off
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Digimet 3000 Enclosure
The Digimet 3000 is enclosed in a durable

7.50” in length x 4.00” in width x 1.26” in
depth.
Display
The Digimet 3000 has a 16-character by 4-
row LCD dot-matrix display capable of
displaying the alphanumeric character set
plus additional characters (#, etc.). The
display supports the character attribute of
blinking. The front panel includes a
protective clear window to cover the
display.

consisting of a durable and washable
plastic face and integrated membrane key
switches, with access for all input
receptacles. The front panel incorporates
the following membrane keys:
The specific functions of these keys are
described in the section titled: MENU &
DISPLAY SYSTEM.
Vacuum Input
