Introduction The Series DHC Digihelic® Differential Pressure Controller is a 3-in-1 instrument possessing a digital display gage, control relay switches, and a transmitter with both current and voltage outputs. Combining these 3 features allows the reduction of several instruments with one product, saving inventory, installation time, and cost. The Series DHC Digihelic®...
Installation Select a clean, dry location that is free from shock and vibration where temperature limits will not be exceeded. Distance from the transmitter to the receiver is limited only by total loop resistance. See WIRING section. The tubing feeding pressure to the instrument can be practically any length required, but longer lengths will slightly increase response time.
4.2. Surface Mounting Step 1: Use the drill template (Figure 4 on the next page) on the front of the desired mounting surface. Provide three 4.76 mm (3/16 in) diameter holes in panel on a 104.78 mm (4 1/8 in) diameter bolt circle. Cut the opening for the terminal block as shown in Figures 2 and 4.

6.2. Set Point Adjustment Adjusting the DHC set points is quick and simple. Instead of setting a set point and deadband, simply adjust “SP1T” or “SP2T” for the desired trigger point, and then adjust “SP1R” or “SP2R” for the desired reset point. The associated LED will light up green when the set point is triggered.
• VOH - Velocity Output High • AREA - Duct Area • FOL - Flow Output Low • FOH - Flow Output High • uoUt - Voltage Output Range If the instrument mode is set to Pressure, the oPEr MENU will include the POL and POH SUB MENUs. If the instrument mode is set to Velocity, the oPEr MENU will include the KFAC, VOL and VOH SUB MENUs.

either ft2 or m2 depending on the flow unit selected. The adjustment range is 0.13-25.0 ft2 (0.012-2.323 m2). The factory setting is 1 ft2 (0.093 m2). 7.12. FOL and FOH SUB MENUs Flow output low and flow output high are used to scale the current and voltage output. Set FOL to the desired display reading for 4 mA output.
