DPG 2400 Series 5.3 Pressure Connections The 7/16-20 SAE female NPT threaded port is the pressure input of the DPG 2400. If the sensor range is less than 20 psi and is a gauge or bi-directional sensor, there will also be a 1/16 inch hose barb fitting above the pressure port. The barb fitting provides access to the reference port of the sensor.
DPG 2400 Series 5.4 Electrical Connections For RS-232 serial port operation, connect the DPG 2400 to the host computer per Figure 5.4a. Notice that the host TRANSMIT line is connected to the DPG 2400 RECEIVE line (TX to RX), and vice versa.
The ( ) key is the power on/off switch. Figure 6.1 - Keypad and Display Features 6.2 Standard Display When the DPG 2400 is powered on, a pressure reading will be displayed after the initialization screen. Figure 6.2 - Display Screen (standard)

DPG 2400 Series 8. Calibration The DPG 2400 automatically adjusts the pressure readings for the effects of tempera- ture within the calibrated range (see Section 4, Specifications). Thus, a calibrated DPG 2400 operated within its temperature band, and with proper zero and span settings, will provide accurate pressure measurements.
Access the zero calibration screen as described in Section 6, Local Operation. For a gauge sensor: Vent the DPG 2400 and adjust the display to show zero pressure by using the arrow keys on the front panel. When zero is shown, press the ♦ (enter) key.
50% of the span or span adjustments will not be accepted. Adjust the measured pressure on the span calibration screen to match the true applied pressure. Press the ♦ (enter) key to store the span offset data. Operating Instructions DPG 2400 Series...
