DPI 530 User Manual Operation Description This instrument operates in two modes, measure and control. A push switch on the front panel switches between the two modes. An LED indicates green for measure mode and red for control mode. A further push switch on the front panel switches between the span divider and the set- point adjuster.
Page 26
DPI 530 User Manual 3.1.3 Functional Description (Figure 3-1) The instrument's controller uses pneumatic valves to control the flow (pressure) of the gas from a source pressure. The valves are energised by a pulse width modulated signal. A transducer mounted on the manifold measures the pressure and produces a feedback signal proportional to the outlet pressure.
DPI 530 User Manual Controlling a Pressure (Figure 3-2) The set-point adjuster controls the output of the instrument and can set a level between 0 and 100% full-scale. The span divider keys, can be set to select a controlled output of between 1 and 100% of the current set-point.
