than any other unit on the market
BLOOMINGTON, MN (January 6, 2017) – Ritchie Engineering Company, Inc., the leader in

an electronic paper display for clear visibility – even in direct sunlight; a rich and intuitive user
interface - turn it on and its ready to use with default settings; a 45° degree bend for fitting
(1/4” or 5/16”); automatic power down and time out; power savings - multiple time-out
selections; and, a low battery indicator and automatic power-down when inactive. Adapter
fittings are available. This gauge is made in the U.S.A.
