The Series DH3 Digihelic
®
3 Differential Pressure Controllers are 3-in-1 instruments
possessing a digital display gage, control relay switches, and a transmitter with current
output all packed in the popular Photohelic
®
gage style housing. Combining these 3
features allows the reduction of several instruments with one product, saving inventory,
installation time and money. The Digihelic
®
controller is the ideal instrument for
pressure, velocity and ow applications, achieving a 1.5% or better full-scale accuracy
on ranges down to the extremely low 0.25 in w.c. to 2.5 in w.c. full-scale. Ranges of 5 in
w.c. and greater maintain 0.5% FS accuracy. Bi-directional ranges are also available.
The Series DH3 Digihelic
®
controller allows the selection of pressure, velocity or
volumetric ow operation in several commonly used engineering units. 2 SPDT control
relays with adjustable deadbands are provided along with a scalable 4-20 mA process
output.
Programming is easy using the menu key to access 5 simplied menus which provide
access to: security level; selection of pressure, velocity or ow operation; selection of
engineering units; K-factor for use with ow sensors; rectangular or circular duct for
inputting area in ow applications; set point control or set point and alarm operation;
alarm operation as a high, low or high/low alarm; automatic or manual alarm reset;
alarm delay; view peak and valley process reading; digital damping for smoothing
erratic process applications; scaling the 4-20 mA process output to t your applications
range and eld calibration.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
• 3-in-1 instrument allows the reduction of several instruments with one product,
saving inventory, installation time and money
• Full-scale accuracy of 1.5% or better even on extremely low ranges, and 0.5% for
ranges above 5 in w.c. provide for greater measurement precision
• Secure menu program provides access to device operation only for the right skill
level
• Optional stainless steel bezel is the same installation diameter as Magnehelic
®
gage
and simplies eld upgrade to DH3 pressure controller
APPLICATIONS
• SCFM duct ow
• Filter status
• Duct or building static pressure
• Damper and fan control
