Hi, I am an Electrician installing your equipment, but I'm having a difficult time setting the degree to Fahrenheit. The directions that I'm reading isn't a clear as I would like it to be. Could someone please get in contact with me and help me if possible.

To set the Omega DP606A to display temperature in Fahrenheit, you need to change the unit setting in the controller. This can be done through its configuration menu, typically by accessing the setup parameters and selecting the desired temperature unit (Fahrenheit). If using Modbus communication, you can send the appropriate command to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius as described in the Modbus section of the manual.

Omega Engineering is not responsible for any damages or loss arising or resulting from any failure to follow any and all instructions or observe any and all warnings.
Mounting Instructions Section 3 - Mounting Instructions Select a location for the monitor that is free from excessive shock, vibration, dirt, moisture and oil. Mount the monitor into a 3 5/8” (92mm) square cutout. The monitor as shipped is 1/4 DIN (92mm square), so it does not have to be removed from its housing to be mounted.
Wiring Instructions Section 4.2 - Connecting Power Pin No. Code Description N(-) Neutral Power / DC-Power supply ALM2 C Alarm Relay 2 Common ALM2 NO Alarm Relay 2 Normally Open ALM2 NC Alarm Relay 2 Normally Closed DC + Power supply (9-36 VDC) Line Power (90-240 VAC) ALM1 C Alarm Relay 1 Common...
Wiring Instructions Section 4.3 - Connecting Alarms The DP606A/DP612A Series includes SPDT mechanical relays with internal snubbers on the normally open contact side. When powered and not in an alarm state the relays are Energized and the NO contact is connected to the Relay common contact.
Connect Input sensors to the terminals Marked Zone 1 though Zone 12 (Z1 – Z12) on the rear panel. For the DP606A only Zones 1 through 6 are active and Terminals Z7 – Z12 are only used for 3 Wire RTDs. When connecting sensors follow the polarity indicated on the rear panel.
Series Navigation Section 5 - Series Navigation ºC ºF Function Zone Figure 6 - Front Panel Diagram Item Description Main Display Function Display Advance Button Increment Button Select Button Zone Display Unit/Mode Indicator Section 5.1 - RUN Mode When power is applied to the unit it will automatically enter the RUN mode, sequentially scanning each active zone and activating alarms if required.
Series Navigation Section 5.2 - Lock Zones Symbol Description The display stops cycling thru each display. The currently selected zone information will be continuously updated on the display. Note that all active zones continue to be read and any alarm conditions will activate the enabled alarm relays.
Section 5.7 - Function Select Mode While in function select mode 1 is displayed in the Function Display and the selected function is displayed in the Main display. The DP606A/DP612A monitor has several different Functions listed in the table below. Function...
Series Navigation Section 5.8 - Function 1 - Enter Password A password may be enabled to prevent unintended changes to the unit. The password is a 4 digit code and the default Password is 1011. The password can only be changed using the serial port. Use the buttons below to enter the password.
Series Navigation Section 5.10 - Function 3 and 4 - Set Low and High Alarms The High and Low alarm values determine the readings that the Alarms will activate at for each zone. The function selected is indicated in the function display. Function 3 sets the low alarms and Function 4 sets the high alarms.
Series Navigation Section 5.11 - Function 5 - Set Modbus Address The Modbus address is used for serial communications to determine which device on a bus is being accessed. The current Modbus Address is shown in the Main Display. The first digit flashes to indicate it can be edited. Use the buttons below to edit the address.
Series Navigation Section 5.13 - Function 7 - Set Device Configuration Function 7 sets the device configuration including the Alarm Type, Units and input type. The default setting for Function 7 is 2204 which represents Thermocouple Type K inputs with High/Low Latching alarms in Degrees Celsius. Each digit in the Main Display represents a different function.

Series Navigation Section 5.13 - Function 7 - Set Device Configuration cont. Digit 1 is the Alarm type. High alarms will deactivate the relay when the Zone process value is Above the High Alarm Value defined in Function 4. Low alarms will deactivate the relay when the Zone process value is below the Low alarm defined in Function 3.
Series Navigation Section 5.14 - Function 8 - Password Enable/Disable Using Function 8, a user password may be enabled to protect the unit from inadvertent changes. By Default the Password is disabled. The default password is 1011. This can only be changed using the serial port. ºC ºF Function...
Series Navigation Section 5.16 - Function A/B - Alarm Relay Function When split operation is selected in Function 7, Alarm relay operation is customized using functions A and B. Function A Controls Alarm 1 and Function B controls Alarm 2. Each zone may be assigned to one or more relays.
Series Navigation Section 5.17 - Function C/D - Scaling Functions C and D set the scaling for the mA and mV input. Function C sets the Low Scale and Function D sets the High Scale. The scaling factors for mA and mV are separate so the values corresponding to the input type selected in Function 7 are shown.
Series Navigation Section 5.18 - Function F - Serial Configuration Function F sets up the serial port of the device. The default serial settings are RS485, 115.2k baud no Parity. Increment the flashing digit on the display Selects the next digit of the VALUE display, causing it to flash. Stores the current VALUE display as the Serial configuration and returns to the Function Select mode.
Modbus is structured using a MASTER-SLAVE topology, in which there is one MASTER device and up to 247 slave devices. All transactions are initiated by the MASTER device. The DP606A and DP612A acts as a slave device, with a device address in the range 1 to 247.
Serial Interface Section 6.2 - Data Formats Modbus holding registers are represented as 16 bit entities. The following encoding is used for extended data items. Note that ‘byte 0’ will be the first byte received/ transmitted. For data types that can be represented in 16 bits (Boolean, byte, char, int16 and uint16) a single register is used.
Section 6.5 - Request Packet Sizes Multiple consecutive registers may be accessed in a single transaction. The DP606A and DP612A Modbus interface imposes a maximum of 72 bytes for the total transaction. Allowing for the required framing, addressing and CRC results in the following data size restrictions using the READ and WRITE MULTIPLE functions.
Modbus Register Assignments Section 7 - DP606A and DP612A Modbus Register Assignments All accesses to the DP606A and DP612A database information is made thru the following Modbus registers. Data types: R – single 16 bit register (may be Boolean, byte, char, int16 or uint16 data) L –...
