Ingress Protection: IP57 
 
Weight (without batteries): 4 lbs. 2.9 oz (1.90 kg) 
 
Batteries: 4 x AA 
 
Maximum Working Temperature (temperature of the water being measured): 140°F (60°C) 
 
Maximum Working Pressure (inlet pressure into the backflow prevention assembly being tested): 175 psi 
(1206 kPa) 
 
Normal Operating Temperature: 64.4°F to 82.4°F (18°C to 28°C) 
 
Accuracy: Provided the MK5 has been calibrated within the past 12 months and has version 12 of firmware 
or later installed: 
 

 

Range [PSID] 

Accuracy (@70°F) [PSID] 

0 to 15 

±0.1  

15 to 100 

± 1% of reading   

100 to 150 

± 5% of reading 

150 to 175  

±10% of reading 

 

Note for USC FCCCHR Manual 10 Approval, a minimum of ±0.2 PSID accuracy must be verified through 
testing throughout the maximum range of working temperatures and pressures.  The Mako has passed 
this testing at the USC FCCCHR lab. 

 
Storage Temperature: -4°F to 140°F (20°C to 60°C) 0 to 80% RH with battery removed from meter (batteries 
tend to degrade from temperature and humidity changes and when outside normal operating 
environments) 
 
Auto-power off (when not disabled): 30 minutes 
 
Response time: 1 second for the main display and 1/30 second for the rate of change graph.
