The DPC 20 is designed to cope with the conditions of use in an industrial environment. It meets the requirements of prime importance such as rapidity, reliability and precision.
MANOMETER DPC 20 1.3 Features • 2000 points liquid crystal display (LCD) • Memory capacity for recording of 20 measurements • Configuration of parameters through two tactile keys • 1 RS232 serial port for: o Release and transfer of measurements to a PC or an SPC 400 Aerosol o Loading of configuration parameters from a PC •...
1 minute (displaying zero), the manometer is automatically set on stand- When the low battery indicator light, the battery of the manometer will have to be recharged. To do this, connect the DPC 20 to the 220 V adapter and let it charge for 8 hours.
MANOMETER DPC 20 2. CONFIGURATION OF PARAMETERS The configuration of the parameters is performed using the two keys The manometer DPC 20 provides the possibility of configuring the following five parameters: 1. Unit of measure 2. Display 3. Limits of tolerance 4.
MANOMETER DPC 20 2.2 Displayed value Three different displays are available: Parameter N° 2: Displayed value [0 - 2] 0 = instantaneous value 1 = minimum 2 = maximum The option 0, instantaneous value, enables displaying the pressure just like an ordinary manometer.

The manometer will then display 00. 2.5 Calibration IMPORTANT! The manometer DPC 20 is calibrated at delivery. Therefore the manometer needs no calibration before you use it. The calibration parameter is activated only when a subsequent calibration of the device is to be made.
MANOMETER DPC 20 pressure the manometer displays (P P P) to indicate that it is taking this value into account. Then release the -key to go back to measurement mode. The calibration is over! 2.6 Measurement of differential pressure Two different ways of measurement are available. The direct pressure mode shows the measured pressure.
3.1 Measuring without recording of values If sample size is set to zero, no measurements are recorded in the DPC 20. This implies using the DPC 20 as an ordinary manometer without recording measurements. When setting sample size to zero, pressing after a measurement resets the memory and displays a zero.
It enables analyses of data to prevent manufacture of bad parts. To use the manometer DPC 20 with the SPC400 Aerosol, they will have to be connected by the appropriate cable (reference 45310). The setup defined in the SPC400 Aerosol must include a pressure characteristic (see SPC400 Aerosol User’s...
Important : Once all pressure measurements have been downloaded to the SPC400 Aerosol, leave the manometer connected until the message « end of sample » appears on the screen. This is to allow memory reset of the DPC 20. 5. HOW TO USE THE SERIAL LINK (RS-232) This interface enables release and transfer of measurements to a PC or an SPC400 Aerosol as well as loading of configuration parameters from a PC.
MANOMETER DPC 20 Example 1) Command Transferred value 00CrLf or 0CrLf 00:+05.26_unitCrLf (displayed value) 12CrLf 12:+11.31_unitCrLf (recorded value) 25CrLf 25:******CrLf (maxi value = 20) If sample size > 0, the manometer will transfer the value of measurement number n provided it has been recorded, otherwise an error message will be transferred.
MANOMETER DPC 20 5.2.3 Transfer of all memorized measurements Command: NCrLf When receiving this command, the manometer will transfer the number of measurements recorded: Examples: Command Transferred value NCrLf (no measurement recorded) NP:00CrLf NCrLf (6 measurements recorded) NP:06CrLf NCrLf (10 measurements recorded) NP:10CrLf 5.2.4 Transfer and erasure of memorized measurements one by one...
MANOMETER DPC 20 5.2.6 Imposed stand-by Command: ICrLf When receiving this command, the manometer is set on stand-by (imposed stand- by): ICrLf no response (on stand-by) 6. MAINTENANCE OF THE MANOMETER The adapters for different valves are very easily screwed off, to enable access to the flush mounted membrane of the pressure gauge.
