Magnehelic® Gauge Troubleshooting
If a Magnehelic® gauge does not read zero with the fan
off, inspect the gauge, and re-zero as needed.
Check for chamber and breather line problems before
re-zero. Re-zero cannot accurately compensate for leaks
and blockages.
Re-zero the Magnehelic® gauge on level ground with the
fan off, and if possible, under no-wind conditions. Turn
the set screw
on the meter face until it reads zero from
the tractor driver’s viewing position.
