DISPLAY INDICATORS Several indicators are provided to identify the current mode and/or status. PRESSURE UNITS – Pressure units are indicated by an identifier bar. The RANGE key will toggle the pressure units among PSI, mmHG, inH O and cmH O. The following is a breakdown of the available pressure units and the measurement range for each: Identifier Bar Pressure Units...

ZERO – This function is a combination of two keys: DPM-2001: DPM-2001PLUS & DPM-2100: If both keys are depressed and held for 5 seconds, the pressure display will be zeroed. (DPM-2001PLUS & DPM-2100) – The function of this key is to select the desired display engineering units.
SETUP MODE The Setup Mode allows the user to adjust the configuration of the meter. The Setup Mode is entered by pressing the ON/SETUP key when the unit is on. The parameter and the current value will alternately flash in the display. The following table indicates the Parameters that are available, their meaning and available setting range: PARAMETER DESCRIPTION...
TESTING LIQUID PRESSURE Measuring pressure in liquid lines (such as during an occlusion test for infusion pumps) requires the use of a transducer protector to prevent fluids intruding into the digital pressure meter. Each DPM-2000 unit comes with the BC20-01012 Transducer Protector, Luer Kit. Failure to use a transducer protector during a liquid pressure test can result in the intrusion of fluid into the DPM which can cause damage to the digital pressure sensor.
COMMUNICATIONS Since the meter does not handle a great deal of data, the RS-232 communications link has been optimized to allow the user, through very simple instructions, to control and request data from the meter. Refer to Specifications section for RS-232 Settings (Baud, etc).

X - CANCEL The CANCEL command is simply a way to re-establish proper control, should a communications error occur or an incorrect command be transmitted. For the most part, an incorrect command will simply be ignored and the meter will return to listening for future commands. However, a prior command may be cancelled midstream by transmitting the CANCEL command anytime.
