Dwyer USA DM-1102 DigiMag Differential Pressure Gauge
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 Differential Pressure MeasurementUtilizing piezo-resistive sensing technology, the DM-1102 provides accurate differential pressure readings for air and compatible gases. Its scale ranges up to 2 w.c. or 500 Pa (depending on model), ensuring suitability for HVAC, clean rooms, and industrial process applications. The digital LCD display allows for clear and fast data retrieval, supporting efficient decision-making.
User-Friendly Interface and InstallationThis gauge offers easy zero adjustment with a single push-button and a rapid response time of less than one second. Whether installed in a panel or mounted on a surface, its lightweight, compact design, and included mounting hardware simplify both initial setup and ongoing operation, promoting convenience in various environments.
Reliable Performance for Harsh ConditionsDesigned for industrial environments, the DM-1102 boasts an IP65-rated front panel, ensuring protection against dust and splashes. The device operates reliably across a wide temperature range (-20C to 70C), making it ideal for diverse climate zones. Optional backlight models improve readability in low-light conditions, optimizing safety and workflow.
