Condec DPDG User Manual

Engineering Units set. The unit is shipped configured to display

PSI. By pressing the ▲ and ▼ (ZERO and MAX/MIN) keys you

can scroll forward and backwards through the 18 standard

engineering units plus a one custom unit/scale. When the desired

unit is displayed, press ENTER or CONFIG. Pressure will now be

displayed in the chosen engineering units.

See the Specifications section of this manual for a list of available

engineering units. See the Supervisory Mode section for details on

setting up custom units.

Set Auto Off. The auto-shut off can be set in 1 minute increments

from 1 to 30 minutes or “off” (continuous operation). The unit is

shipped set for 30 minutes. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to set the

desired interval. The “off” setting is at the low end of the choices,

below 1 minute.

Display battery voltage. Actual voltage and a percent of life

bargraph indicate battery condition

Display actual temperature. The CONDEC DPDG is

temperature compensated, this displays the temperature

measured by the internal sensor. The value can be set to degrees

F or degrees C using the arrow keys.

Set damping. Choices are “on” and “off” set with the ▲ and ▼

keys. Turning damping on will smooth readings from pulsating

pressure sources.

Set sample rate: This determines how often pressure is sampled

and the display is updated. Choices are 0.5, 1, 3, and 10

samples/second. Note that 10/sec provides the fastest response

time.

Set TARE. This allows you to set a constant offset value, which is

then subtracted from the measured pressure. For example if a

TARE is set at 30 PSI, and the measured pressure is 37 PSI, the

displayed value will be 7 PSI.

A pressure of 27 PSI would be displayed as –3 PSI.

The tare value is set manually with the ▲ and ▼ keys, and is

based on the engineering units and resolution selected for display.

TARE value can be set to the maximum range of the gauge.

The bar graph will always display the actual pressure based on the

full range of the gauge regardless of the tare setting. This is done

for safety to insure that even with a “0” reading that pressure is

being applied to the gauge.

Function Lock: Access to each of the settable parameters above

can be turned “off” once set, to prevent unauthorized changes to
