Barometric Reference Module (BRM)
For absolute measurements, a Barometric Reference Module (BRM) must be
installed unless the PMM is equipped with its own barometric reference (refer to
the PMM specifications). When a BRM is installed, the Absolute Measurement
Mode becomes available (see Measurement Modes). The BRM can be installed
like a PMM on any of the open slots.

The Product comes with one of three types of manifolds installed:
