Page 15
3.1 Electric Pump Considerations The BetaGauge 330-30 and 330-150 incorporate a small, lightweight, battery powered pneumatic pump that allows the user, in the case of the 330-150 to build relatively high pressure up to 150psi (10Bar) quickly and with good control. -
Page 16: Measuring Pressure
See section 2.3. 4.1 Media Compatibility The BetaGauge 330 feature a unique user accessible valve cleaning port to facilitate servicing the pump. Section 16.3 shows how to clean these valves. Even though servicing the pump is easy, care should be taken to only expose the calibrator to clean, dry gases.

Reference Manual
2.1.2.1 Setting the Active Display
The active display is indicated by the center option on the Main Menu, pressing the F2
key will toggle the active display.
2.1.2.2 Setting Active Display Parameters
To set the parameters of the active display use the CONFIG option to get to the Display
Configuration Menu.
Here the SELECT option will toggle through the choices for each parameter. The first
parameter is MODE. Since voltage, current and switch test modes all use the same
jacks, two of these functions cannot be used concurrently. The ability to select certain
functions is limited based on what is already selected in another display. The NEXT
option is used to change to the second parameter. Only RTD and Pressure modes have
a second parameter, RTDs can be read in Celsius or Fahrenheit and Pressures can be
read in 11 engineering units.
With a single display the following modes are available:
P[1] = Pressure internal sensor.
[EXT] = Pressure with external pressure module.
P[1] ST = Switch Test with left side sensor.
[EXT] ST = Switch Test with external pressure module.
Note: mA functions are only available on the Lower Display.
mA measure = Milliamps measure without loop power.
mA w/24V = Milliamps measure with loop power.
mA source = Milliamps source.
mA sim = Milliamps simulate using an external supply from the UUT.
VOLTS = Voltage Measure.
RTD = RTD Temperature Measurement (if a probe is connected).
The following table shows which functions are available concurrently.
An X in a column indicates that the mode in the active display will not be available for
selection if the mode in that row is in use in any other display.
