Introduction

The DPI 841 Frequency Calibrator and DPI 842 Frequency
Loop Calibrator are part of the Druck DPI 800 series of
hand held instruments.
The DPI 800 series uses Intelligent Digital Output Sensor
(IDOS) technology to give instant plug and play
functionality with a range of Universal Measurement
Modules (UMM). Example: the Universal Pressure Module
(UPM).
The DPI 841/842 include these functions:
Function
Measure/supply a frequency
or a pulse count.
Step/Ramp functions
Communications port
Language selection
Measure pressure/Leak test
** Snapshot
Measure mA
®
HART resistor
V dc output
Switch test
Other functions
* Refer to "Specification data".
** Optional item

Safety

Before you use the instrument, make sure that you read
and understand all the related data. This includes: all local
safety procedures, the instructions for the UMM (if
applicable), and this publication.
• It is dangerous to ignore the specified limits for the
instrument or to use the instrument when it is not in
