FAQs of DWYER USA DPG-208 Digital Pressure Gage:
Q: How do I install the DWYER DPG-208 Digital Pressure Gage in my system?
A: Installation is straightforwarduse the 1/4 NPT male stem mount to securely fit the gage into your system. Ensure that all connections are compatible with stainless steel and Viton O-ring seals to maintain leak-free operation. The protective rubber boot helps prevent physical damage during setup.
Q: What media can this pressure gage measure, and are there specific compatibility requirements?
A: The DPG-208 is designed to measure air, gases, and liquids compatible with stainless steel wetted parts and a Viton O-ring. Avoid using with corrosive liquids or gases incompatible with these materials to ensure accurate readings and device longevity.
Q: When should I replace the battery, and what type does the gage use?
A: The gage operates on a standard 9V alkaline battery, which is included. You should replace the battery when the display dims or when the auto power-off function becomes unreliable. Usage frequency and display brightness may affect battery life.
Q: Where can I use this pressure gage given its environmental ratings?
A: With an IP67 rating, the DPG-208 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering robust protection against dust and water. It can operate in ambient temperatures between -20C and 70C, making it suitable for diverse industrial or laboratory settings.
Q: What process features make this pressure gage reliable for industrial applications?
A: The gage offers a fast response time (<100 ms), high sampling rate (2 Hz), and 0.25% full-scale accuracy. Its electronic strain gauge sensor ensures stable, repeatable results, while auto-shutoff helps conserve battery during field or production use.
Q: How does the unit selection and digital display improve usage?
A: You can quickly switch between psi, bar, kPa, MPa, and kg/cm using the control panel. The bright, four-digit LCD with backlight ensures you can read measurements easily in dim or direct sunlight, enhancing field flexibility and minimizing reading errors.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this digital gauge over traditional analog options?
A: Compared to analog gauges, the DPG-208 provides higher resolution (0.01 psi), eliminates parallax errors, and offers digital accuracy. The waterproof, rugged build and selectable features deliver added versatility for manufacturers, suppliers, and traders seeking reliable pressure monitoring solutions.
