Turn on your sensor by pressing the power button once. The Bluetooth® LED will blink red. Launch Graphical Analysis or turn on LabQuest. If using Graphical Analysis, click or tap Sensor Data Collection. If using LabQuest, choose Wireless Device Setup > Go Direct from the Sensors menu. Select your Go Direct sensor from the list of Discovered Wireless Devices. Your sensor's ID is located near the barcode on the sensor. The Bluetooth LED will blink green when it is successfully connected. Click or tap Done to enter data-collection mode.

Install Graphical Analysis on your computer or Chromebook. If using LabQuest, make sure LabQuest App is up to date. See www.vernier.com/ga for software availability or www.vernier.com/downloads to update LabQuest App. Connect the sensor to the USB port. Launch Graphical Analysis or turn on LabQuest. You are now ready to collect data.   Note: This sensor does not work with the original LabQuest. It works with LabQuest 2 or LabQuest 3.

Connect Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure to the included Micro USB Cable and any USB device for two hours.

You can also charge up to eight Go Direct Wide-Range Pressures using our Go Direct Charge Station, sold separately (order code: GDX-CRG). An LED on each Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure indicates charging status.

Charging	Orange LED next to the battery icon is solid while the sensor is charging.
Fully charged	Green LED next to the battery icon is solid when the sensor is fully charged.

Turning on the sensor	Press button once. Red LED indicator flashes when unit is on.
Putting the sensor in sleep mode	Press and hold button for more than three seconds to put into sleep mode. Red LEDs stop flashing when sleeping.

Charging via USB, connected via Bluetooth	Orange LED next to the battery icon is solid when the sensor is charging. Green LED next to the Bluetooth icon flashes.

When two or more sensors are connected, the sensors can be identified by tapping or clicking Identify in Sensor Information.

Connect the sensor following the steps in the Getting Started section of this user manual.

To switch quick disconnect fittings, simultaneously press the metal tab on the quick fitting adapter that is on the pressure sensor side of the connection while pulling the attachment away from the adapter. Once the desired attachment is removed, snap the replacement attachment into the adapter until you hear a click sound.

If you wish to purchase different quick disconnect inserts or replacements, many are available and compatible with the sensor. For several options, visit www.vernier.com/til/13798

You do not have to perform a new calibration when using the Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure. The sensor is calibrated prior to shipping. If you would like to perform your own calibration, follow the steps described here. A one-point calibration at atmosphere is adequate for most applications.

To perform a one-point calibration,

1. Connect Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure to a device and launch the software.
2. Initiate the calibration procedure.
3. Enter the actual pressure as the known value.
4. When the relative stability reading stabilizes, click Keep.

5. Click Apply to complete the calibration process. This calibration is automatically saved to the sensor. To restore the default calibration, click Reset to Defaults.

Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure has been calibrated to read station pressure. Station pressure is the true atmospheric pressure at your location, or station. If you prefer it to read sea level pressure for conducting weather studies, you can perform a one-point calibration to correct for elevation, using the sea-level corrected pressure value for your location obtained from a reputable source (NOAA, Weather Underground, etc.). Sea level pressure is the pressure after the station pressure has been adjusted to its equivalent pressure at sea level. This is commonly done to normalize pressures at various altitudes for weather forecasts.

Pressure in Liquids: Depth Measurements

If you measure the pressure at the end of a long plastic tube forced underwater, you can indirectly measure depth. Connect the tubing to the stem of Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure and then put the end of the tube under water. The pressure reading will increase 8.105 kPa (0.0800 atm or 60.79 mmHg) for every meter below the surface of the water. Note: If you measure depth in this way, the depth you are measuring is to the top of the water in the tubing.

Pressure range	0 to 690 kPa (0 to 100 psi, 0 to 6.8 atm, 0 to 5171 mmHg)
Maximum pressure that the sensor can tolerate without permanent damage	900 kPa
Compatibility	Gas compatible: Dry gases Liquid & Gas compatible: Dry gases and Parylene C liquid compatibility
Accuracy using factory calibration	±2 kPa
Accuracy using one-point custom calibration at atmosphere	±1 kPa
Internal volume of sensor with 1/8" NPT thread insert attached	0.786 mL
Internal volume of sensor with 1/8" hose barb insert attached	0.623 mL

Clean sensor with a soft, damp cloth.

Battery

Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure contains a small lithium-ion battery. The sensor is designed to consume very little power and not put heavy demands on the battery. Although the battery is warranted for one year, the expected battery life should be several years. Replacement batteries are available from Vernier (order code GDX-BAT-300).

Storage

To store Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure for extended periods of time, put the device in sleep mode by holding the button down for at least three seconds. The red LED will stop flashing to show that the unit is in sleep mode. Over several months, the battery will discharge but will not be damaged. After such storage, charge the device for a few hours, and the unit will be ready to go.

Exposing the battery to temperatures over 35°C (95°F) will reduce its lifespan. If possible, store the device in an area that is not exposed to temperature extremes.

Water Resistance

Go Direct Wide-Range Pressure is not water resistant and should never be immersed in water.

If water gets into the device, immediately power the unit down (press and hold the power button for more than three seconds). Disconnect the sensor and charging cable, and remove the battery. Allow the device to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the device again. Do not attempt to dry using an external heat source.

The active sensor in this unit is a pressure transducer that has a membrane that flexes as pressure changes. This sensor is arranged to measure absolute pressure. One side of the membrane is a vacuum, while the other side is open to the atmosphere. The sensor produces an output voltage that varies in a linear way with absolute pressure. It includes special circuitry to minimize errors caused by changes in temperature.

Included with the sensor are accessories to allow you to connect it to a reaction container or instrument. Check to be sure that each of these items is included:

• Chrome-plated Brass Quick Disconnect Tube Fitting with 1/8" NPT thread insert
• Chrome-plated Brass Quick Disconnect Tube Fitting with 1/8" hose barb insert
• Two-foot section of plastic tubing: This soft tubing is designed to fit over the hose barb connector. Its standard size allows you to connect to a variety of third-party instrumentation or adapters.
• Plumber's tape: This 1/2" sealing tape should be wrapped around the threading on the pressure sensor. Wrap only once and to the right, as the threading runs. This will help ensure an airtight seal.
