Basic safety instructions
Please read the following safety instructions with care:
Avoid electrical hazards:
Never make measurements with the instruments on or near live compo-
nents.
Preserve product safety:
Operate the instrument only within the parameters specified in the tech-
nical data.
Handle the instrument suitably and according to its intended purpose.
Open the instrument only when this is expressly described in the
Instructions for maintenance purposes.
Never apply force.
Ensure correct disposal:
Dispose of empty batteries at the provided collection points.
Send the unit directly to us at the end of its life cycle. We will ensure
that it is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
Important information
Notes and special cases in the handling of your unit are indicated by an
exclamation mark.
Due to technical reasons, the display speed of the liquid crystal
displays slow down at temperatures below 0 °C (approx. 2 s at -10 °C,
approx. 6 s at -20 °C). Measuring accuracy is not affected.

Warranty ........................................................................................2 years
Use of the unit for its intended purpose
The battery-operated testo 506 is used to measure the positive or negati-
ve pressure and differential pressure in gases (See Ordering data for mea-
suring ranges). testo 506 (0 to 500 Pa) is also used, together with a Pitot
tube, to measure air flow.
Its robustness and easy handling make it suitable for customer service and
maintenance work on heating, ventilation and air conditioning units.
All pressures in the positive range can also be measured in the negative
range (Example: In the measuring range 0 to 200 hPa/mbar, the instru-
ment can also measure negative pressure 0 to -200 hPa/mbar). Ensure
connection is correct (positive pressure +, negative pressure -)!
testo 506 zeroises automatically when switched on.
testo 506 switches off automatically after 16 min (Auto Off function).

Operation

Switching measuring ranges in testo 506
testo 506 (0 to 10/200 hPa/mbar) has an automatic
measuring range switchover function.
The instrument starts in the top measuring range and
switches automatically to the lower measuring range
after 2 s.
If a pressure of 10 hPa/mbar is exceeded, the instru-
ment changes automatically to the higher range
