  • Field Gauge LC10 Overview

    General overview of the the interface and basic operation of the Ralston Field Gauge LC10 line of digital pressure and temperature gauges. 

    Download the Field Gauge LC10 Quick-Start Guide (PDF Format).

  • Register your Field Gauge

    Register your Field Gauge to access calibration certificates and install firmware updates.

  • Log pressure and/or temperature data from a Field Gauge to your computer

    Use your computer and one or more connected Field Gauges to:

    • Save pressure and/or temperature data from one or more Field Gauge directly to one data file on your computer.
    • View live graphing of pressure and/or temperature over time.
  • Update Firmware on a Field Gauge and Process Meter

    Ralston Instruments will periodically release updated firmware containing improvements and new features. This article will demonstrate the steps you can take to keep your firmware up to date.

  • Replace batteries in a Field Gauge

    Instructions for installing fresh AA batteries in a Field Gauge.

  • Put Field Gauge into Update Mode to update firmware

    Update Mode is a troubleshooting shortcut that allows you to manually update the Field Gauge firmware at any time.

  • Adjust Power Settings on a Field Gauge

    This article will show you how to adjust settings for:

    • Backlight Brightness
    • Backlight Auto Off 
    • Auto Power Off

    Backlight
    The backlight on a Field Gauge makes it easier to read the information on the display when it is on. Because the backlight draws more power from the AA batteries when it is lit, we’ve given you the ability to adjust settings to get the ideal balance between visibility & battery power management, depending on your preferences and work environment.

    Auto Power Off
    This feature allows you to pre-determine when, and if, you want the Field Gauge to power off on its own to conserve battery life.

  • Change Engineering Units on a Field Gauge LC10

    This article will show you how to:

    • Quickly switch standard pressure and temperature engineering units.
    • Add or remove standard pressure engineering units. 
    • Add a custom pressure engineering units to a Field Gauge.
  • Link Field Gauge to FieldLab Desktop

    Manage setting and update firmware on a Field Gauge by linking it to FieldLab Desktop on your computer.

  • Calibrate the pressure sensor on a Field Gauge

    Do-it-yourself instructions for calibrating a Field Gauge with free FieldLab Desktop software. At the end of this process, FieldLab Desktop will compare the readings from your Reference device and Field Gauge (Zero, Mid Point, and Full Span) and if it is out of spec; automatically make any necessary adjustments to bring your Field Gauge to acceptable tolerances.

  • Download Calibration Certificate for a Field Gauge

    If you had your FieldLab or Field Gauge calibrated by Ralston Instruments using one of their NIST traceable standards, you can access a digital copy of the certificate and download it in PDF format from this website.


  • Run a Calibration Test on another device from your computer with a Field Gauge

    Use a Ralston Field Gauge as a reference to calibrate other devices. All Ralston Field Gauges ship with a tested +/-0.25% full scale accuracy (ASME Grade 3A / ISO Class 0.25).

    Calibration Tests can be run right from your computer with Benchtop Calibration.

  • Power your Field Gauge with AC Power

    Power a Field Gauge for indefinite periods of time with an AC power source.

  • Make a Wireless Connection between a Ralston Field Gauge and FieldLab Desktop
  • Calibrate the temperature sensor on a Field Gauge

    Do-it-yourself instructions for calibrating a Field Gauge with free FieldLab Desktop software. At the end of this process, FieldLab Desktop will compare the readings from your Reference device and Field Gauge (Zero, Mid Point, and Full Span), and if it is out of spec; automatically make any necessary adjustments to bring your Field Gauge to acceptable tolerances.

  • Change Wireless Channel on a Field Gauge LC20 and Process Meter LC30

    See what wireless radio channel your Field Gauge/Process Meter is currently using, and how to change to a new channel.

  • Change Engineering Units on a Field Gauge LC20 and Process Meter LC30

    This article will show you how to switch displayed pressure and temperature engineering units.

  • View Firmware Version on a Field Gauge LC20 and Process Meter LC30

    Ralston Instruments continually improves the features of the Field Gauge with new firmware releases, which you can update for free. This article shows you how to see what version of firmware is installed on your Field Gauge.

  • Turn on Wireless Radio on a Field Gauge LC20 and Process Meter LC30

    Turn on the radio on a Field Gauge and Process Meter equipped with wireless radio (W1) to transmit and log live readings to other Ralston devices and software, including FieldLab Desktop and Ralston Field Gauge.
