WHAT’S IN THE PACKAGE The VC9200 comes in a hard plastic carrying case inside a box. Inside the case are the instrument, a vacuum sensor with ¼ in. NPT and PS port connectors, and this user’s manual.

UNIT button 6.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS INSTALL BATTERY The DVG92’s battery compartment is under a cover on the lower back of the unit (Callout 6 of the figure). To open the compartment, turn the meter over and insert a flat-head screwdriver in the slot at the bottom of the compartment cover to pry it open. Set the cover aside. Plug a “9V” battery into the wired socket inside the compartment.
The VC9200 can track the highest (maximum) and lowest (minimum) values recorded during a measurement session. To begin a measurement session, briefly press the MAX./MIN. button (Callout 4). The term REC will appear on the left side of the LCD. To display the highest value measured since the measurement session began, briefly press the MAX./MIN. button. The maximum value will be displayed on the LCD, along with the term Max on the bottom line.
Before beginning an unattended data logging session, remember to disable the VC9200’s Auto Power Off (APO) function by switching to operation in REC (Min/Max) mode. Once the APO function has been disabled, the meter will remain on and able to log data until its battery is drained of charge. A fresh “9V” battery should provide dozens of hours of operating time under normal circumstances.
