The DM-2 has two independent differential-pressure 
sensors (Channel A and B) plus an automatic 
controller that will control a compatible fan.   
 
Channel A always displays the difference in 
pressure between the blue “

Input A(+)

” and the red 

Ref A(-)

” in units of Pascals, inches of water or 

pounds per square foot. “

PrA

” on the screen refers 

to 

Pr

essure on channel 

A

.  

 
Channel B may similarly indicate pressure (between 

Input B(+)

 and 

Ref B(-)

) when “

PrB

” is displayed.  

When a flow device is connected, this pressure can 
be converted to flow when the correct flow 

Device

 

and results 

Mode

 is selected.
