INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing an HK Instruments DPT-Dual-MOD-AHU
series differential pressure transmitter. DPT-Dual-MOD-AHU is es-
pecially designed for air handling units, combining two differential
pressure transmitters into one device. It offers a possibility to meas-
ure pressure from two different points. One of the measurements
can be set to show the air flow rate. DPT-Dual-MOD-AHU has a
Modbus interface and an Input terminal.
The Input terminal 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 (potential free contact) signals.
APPLICATIONS
DPT-Dual-MOD-AHU series devices are commonly used in HVAC/R
systems for:
• air flow monitoring across centrifugal fans and blowers
• in-duct air flow monitoring
• VAV applications
• fan, blower and filter monitoring
• pressure and flow monitoring
• valve and damper control
• pressure monitoring in cleanrooms
SPECIFICATIONS
Performance
Accuracy (from applied pressure):
Sensor A (-700...7000 Pa):
Pressure < 125 Pa = 1.5 % + ±2 Pa
Pressure > 125 Pa = 1.5 % + ±1 Pa
Sensor B (-250...2500 Pa):
Pressure < 125 Pa = 1 % + ±2 Pa
Pressure > 125 Pa = 1 % + ±1 Pa
(Including: general accuracy, linearity, hysteresis, long
