1. Introducing the Retrotec DM32 series of digital gauge
The DM32 is the next generation digital manometer, with touchscreen and two digital pressure sensors. It
is a small, lightweight dual- channel pressure gauge with computer control options via USB or over a
network via Ethernet.
The DM32 series utilizes the latest in microcontroller technology allowing the unit to support a rich set of
capabilities including full color touchscreen display, pre-calibrated digital pressure sensors, high capacity
rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, onboard charging and power management, USB connectivity, and
wired and optional wireless (WiFi) networking capabilities.
The DM32 includes a suite of software to maximize your use of the gauge. The DM32 Software Suite (for
PC) includes a Data Logger, Virtual Gauge for remote control, and the DM32 Configurator. DM32 gauge
internal software can be updated with new features as they get developed from time to time, using the
DM32 Configurator software and the USB connection on the DM32. WiFi enabled gauges also include the
GaugeRemote App for Android and iOS based smart phones and devices.
The gauge will conveniently control the speed of fans that create flow such as Blower Door Fans,
DucTesters and other flow devices. It will also calculate the flow rate going through these devices as well as
many passive devices such as flow grids. Results can be displayed in any series of units used anywhere
worldwide.
Words in square brackets indicate keys that must be tapped on the touchscreen to operate the gauge. The
ON- OFF key must be pressed and held for two seconds in order to actuate while all other Touch-Screen
functions are Tap and Release to actuate.
