INSTALLATION LOCATION: Select a clean, dry location free from shock and vibration where temperature limits will not be exceeded. Distance from the transmitter to the receiver is limited only by total loop resistance. See ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. Tubing feeding pressure to the instrument can be practically any length required, but long lengths will increase response time slightly.

MOUNTING: The DH 3 may be either panel (flush) mounted or surface mounted. Panel Mounting - Cut a 4-13/16˝ or 122 mm diameter hole in the panel and insert the unit from the front. Slip on the mounting ring with the stepped side facing rear. Next, fit the snap ring into the narrow groove at back edge of bezel.

rESO (Resolution) SUB MENU The DH 3 is capable of displaying four digits of resolution. However, at very low pressures the instability of the pressure may cause fluctuations in the least significant digit causing the least significant digit to be of little value. Three digit resolution ( 3DIG ) can only be active when there is at least one digit to the right of a decimal.
