2. Gauge overview
The front of the gauge has a capacitive multitouch screen, with an On/Off button at the top right side, and
a battery charging indicator light at the bottom.
The top of the gauge has four color-coded pressure tube ports, and a Control output port (for fan speed)
The bottom of the gauge has USB-C port for battery charging and gauge-computer communications.
The touchscreen serves as both the information display and the keypad for the gauge. The information
displayed depends on selections a user makes by touching the screen. This manual uses square brackets []
to indicate where to touch items on the screen.
2.1 Make connections to the gauge
Physical connections from the gauge to a calibrated fan are on top of the gauge. Physical connections to a
computer or power adapter are on the bottom of the gauge.
An Ethernet-style cable from the fan speed output control port connects to a calibrated fan to control its
speed. The cable supplied for this purpose with Retrotec systems is yellow.
Pressure tube ports on the top of the gauge are color-coded to distinguish where pressure tubes are
connected. Retrotec has a specially designed pressure tube port that grips pressure tubes well, but
releases them without tearing after long-term use. This exclusive connector is designed by Retrotec to
make contact with both the tube internally and externally with a shallow taper.
