But for ease of use I have a store bought one with a dial. Inexpensive compared to the digital models, and no batteries to go dead.
As for adjusting the regulator, they pretty much all work the same: You remove the black cap over the adjustment screw, and then to adjust you just turn it slightly up or down while reading the manometer until you get at or near 11 WC inches.

What is the pressure range on this meter? I have found several ranges available but I assume that if it would go up to 15 or so, that would be high enough.
