About Dwyer USA DM-1102 DigiMag Differential Pressure Gauge
Dwyer Instruments DM-1102
DigiMag Differential Digital Pressure Gage,Range 0-0.25WC
The DigiMag Series DM-1000 Digital Differential Pressure and Flow Gages monitor the pressure of air and compatible gases just as its famous analog predecessor the Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gage. All models are factory calibrated to specific ranges. The 4-digit LCD can display readings in common English and metric units so conversions are not necessary. The simplified four button operation reduces set up time and simplifies calibration with its digital push button zero and span. The DigiMag Digital Gages are more versatile than analog gages with their ability to be field-programmed to select pressure, air velocity or flow operation depending on model. The DigiMag Digital Gages have an added feature for filter applications where a set point can be input where the display will blink when the filter is dirty, alerting the user that a maintenance action needs to occur. Programming the Series DM-1000 is easy using the menu key to access 4 simplified menus which provide access to, depending on model: security level; engineering units; K-factor for use with various Pitot tubes and flow sensors circular or rectangular duct size for volumetric flow operation; filter set point; view peak and valley process readings; digital damping for smoothing erratic process applications; display update to conserve battery life; zero and span field calibration. The Series DM-1000 DigiMag Digital Differential Pressure and Air Flow Gages possess a full-scale accuracy of 1% on ranges down to 2 in H2O and 2% accuracy down to the very low range of 1 inch to 0.25 in H2O. DigiMag Digital Differential Pressure Gages offer power versatility by working with 9-24 VDC line power or simply 9V battery power. If using line power and connecting the 9V battery, the battery will act as a back-up if line power is lost or interrupted.
Precise Digital Measurement for Industrial NeedsThis gauge is microprocessor-based and delivers accurate, real-time pressure readings with a resolution of 0.01 in. w.c. The solid-state sensor outperforms traditional mechanical parts, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance. Its factory-configured analog output supports integration with a variety of control systems.
Robust Design and Flexible InstallationConstructed with a powder-coated ABS housing and Buna-N seals, the DM-1102 is designed for durability in demanding environments. Suitable for both surface and panel mounting, it features a NEMA 4X (IP66) rating, safeguarding the electronic components against water and dust ingress during industrial operation.
FAQs of Dwyer USA DM-1102 DigiMag Differential Pressure Gauge:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer DM-1102 DigiMag Differential Pressure Gauge?
A: The DM-1102 can be mounted on a surface or panel using the included mounting hardware. Connect the 1/8 female NPT pressure ports to your system, provide a 9-24 VDC power supply, and refer to the instruction manual for specific installation steps.
Q: What types of media can be measured with this gauge?
A: The DM-1102 is designed to measure differential pressure of air and non-corrosive gases only. It is not suitable for liquids or aggressive gases.
Q: When should zero and span adjustments be performed?
A: Zero and span should be checked and adjusted via the push-button interface during initial setup and periodically as recommended in the manual or if you notice drift in readings.
Q: Where can this differential pressure gauge be used?
A: Its robust construction and IP66 rating make it ideal for a variety of industrial settings, including HVAC, clean rooms, filter monitoring, and process control that require air or non-corrosive gas pressure measurement.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a digital, solid-state pressure gauge like the DM-1102?
A: Digital solid-state measurement offers higher accuracy, stability, and lower maintenance compared to mechanical gauges. The electronic sensor provides quick response and the digital display is easy to read from a distance.
Q: How is output configured for the DM-1102?
A: The gauge features an analog output which is factory-configured for either 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC. Be sure to specify your required output range when ordering the product.
Q: What maintenance is required for the DM-1102?
A: Routine maintenance involves periodically verifying calibration and keeping the enclosure clean. Since it uses a solid-state sensor and digital display, there are no moving parts to service.
