INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing an HK Instruments DPT-MOD series dif-
ferential pressure transmitter. The DPT-MOD differential pressure
transmitter for air conforms to Modbus over serial line protocol,
using RTU transmission mode and RS485 interface. The digital
output signal is sent over Modbus enabling the DPT-MOD to con-
nect directly to a field communications network.
DPT-MOD requires less wiring than traditional 3-wire transmitters,
since multiple devices can be connected on serial line.
The DPT-MOD includes an Input terminal that enables reading of
multiple other signals such as temperature or control relays over
Modbus. The Input terminal has two input channels designed to
accept 0−10 V, ntc10k, Pt1000, Ni1000/(-LG), and BIN IN (poten-
tial free contact) signals. For example, DPT-MOD can read values
from one differential pressure measurement point and two tem-
perature measurement points.
APPLICATIONS
DPT-MOD series devices are commonly used in HVAC/R
systems for:
• fan, blower and filter monitoring
• pressure and flow monitoring
SPECIFICATIONS
• valve and damper control
• pressure monitoring in cleanrooms
