A little background, as I know to leave things alone if right. Initial problem was electronic gauge set at 120 default bar. No bueno as reg is set at 112 and it’s staying there. If I have to dissemble a rifle to change reg, pre load or throw, I’d rather buy dedicated rifles. So if you understand how these gauges work, you realize that default setting is going to give me inaccurate readings on everything.
Then, it’s fluctuating in psi with an upwards pointed arrow. Read all 16 pages of PDF, again, for the 7th time.
Time to reset. Tried staple to 1st & 4th contact with plastic tweezers. Held there 20 seconds. Nothing. Thank goodness for the PDF as you need to hold screen pressure button in 12 seconds for somethings. Time to take battery out, no capacitor but give it 10 seconds anyway. Put back in. Worked. Tried to set min P. No go. Disassembled again & see loose connection. I’m done. It’s way too fragile, complicated & inaccurate as you can shoot only single shot but say shoot 5 shots in 5 minutes it comes back up like you only shot 3 10 minutes later. I want a regular gauge & asking what’s the best one I can get? Through Brian? This EDMU needs the 4 wires to contacts reattached right. Not oops, took battery out not sure if I did it or one was loose. It’s not solder either. Some type of silicone glue. Not sturdy at all so be very very careful if you need to reset or change battery. The O-ring was broken also and PDF stresses do not double up wires. There’s no harness & they’re like snakes on amphetamines for God’s sake. OH, and, once you remove gauge cover be VERY careful not to let port cover pull away from reservoir tube as a very small detent ball & spring are set in there. Good thing I was sitting down in very good light. It’s never find it again in carpet small.
I highly respect Ed as I worked under Russian electricians. Learning that trade when not knowing anything but Nyet (no) & privet (hello) wasn’t easy. They are so different. They’re usually devout but also very interested in merging humans/cyborgs & anything else technically inclined no matter what. I understand Ed wanting to progress but I’m not a fan of this gauge. If everything was externally adjustable & gauge worked more consistently, plus if it wasn’t so fragile in the attached leads, I’d have liked it.
So, I simply want a good analog gauge & be VERY careful with your electronic one if you like it. Mine just reads 9999 under psi. Yeah. It simply needs to be rewired & set correctly. If anyone can do that I’d pay them as I’d like it as an extra or to sell. I’m ready to break out my jewelers loop, magnifying glass & old electronic tool box but I’ll wait until I get some replies & talk with Brian. Maybe he’ll take the EDMU & send me a good 4500-5000 psi Wika or better instrumentation pressure gauge.
