Digital Differential Pressure Control

Feb. 14, 2008
Dwyer Instruments, Inc., the preferred source for your complete range of practical and affordable instrumentation, is announcing the release of its NEW DH3 Series Digihelic® Differential Pressure Controller.    The Series DH3 Differential Pressure Controller provides a 4-20 mA process output, 2 SPDT relays with adjustable deadbands, and a large, bright backlit LCD display. The DH3 offers simplified programming via a menu key that enables the user to select: security level; set point or set point and alarm operation; auto or manual alarm reset; English or Metric engineering units; pressure, velocity or flow operation, K-factor for use with various Pitot tubes and flow sensors, circular or rectangular duct size for volumetric flow operation plus many more. The robust Photohelic® gage style aluminum housing is rated NEMA 4X on the front face when properly installed in a control panel. The sensing element can detect low differential pressures down to 0.25? w.c. up to 100? w.c. Bidirectional ranges are also available. These features make the DH3 Digihelic® Differential Pressure Controller the ideal instrument for monitoring pressures in various rooms, zones and ducts in factories, laboratories or buildings.• Service: Air and non-combustible, compatible gases. • Wetted Materials: Consult factory. • Housing Material: Die cast aluminum case and bezel. • Accuracy: < 5" w.c.
