Glossary

Words and phrases Definitions

Absolute Isolated pressure

(AI)

Absolute pressure is equal to the sum of these two:

1. Gauge pressure.

2. Atmospheric pressure

(also known as barometric pressure).

Button or key •A

button

always refers to an area on the screen that you can

click to select functionality.

•A

key

always refers to hardware push-buttons on the keyboard

that you can press.

Compound Isolated pressure

(CI)

A compound gauge can display both positive and negative

(vacuum) pressures. The meriGauge plus System replaces the

need for buying one gauge for each sensor:

1. A pressure sensor.

2. A vacuum sensor.

Firmware Firmware is a type of software that is stored on hardware. Both

meriGauge plus and meriSense have firmware. meriLink is a

software application that can communicate with their firmware and

change or update it as needed.

Isolated The word isolated refers to the sensing element being isolated

from the media. It is commonly used in the phrases Absolute

Isolated (AI) pressure and Compound Isolated (CI) pressure.

Meriam Calibration Meriam calibration refers to any calibration completed at Meriam

with Meriam traceability. Meriam calibration includes:

•Oven calibration.

•Multipoint Meriam adjustment.

User Calibration User calibration refers to any calibration done outside of Meriam

with non-Meriam traceability. User calibration includes:

•Multipoint user calibration or adjustment.

The meriSense detachable sensors

Make a pressure connection

Make a good NPT connection

Each meriSense detachable sensor has a 316 stainless steel

1/4 in. male NPT connection for direct mounting.

•The threads should be coated with a pipe sealant

compound before installation.

•Tighten to finger tight plus 1.5 turns to 3 turns using a

23 mm (7/8 in.) wrench with the notch facing the same

direction as you intend for the display.

Use only a wrench on the hex fitting

Never rotate a meriSense sensor by turning the meriGauge

plus gauge.

Protect your sensors from dust

Keep the dust cap on sensors

Make sure you put the dust cap on the sensor to protect the

electrical contacts after the meriGauge plus gauge has been

detached from the sensor.
