The automatically set Set Value 3 (P3) can be manually changed to
a value between Set Value 1 (P1) and Set Value 2 (P2). However
Set Value 3 (P3) cannot be set to a value on the vacuum pressure
side for a positive pressure type sensor or to the positive pressure
side for a vacuum pressure type sensor.

Since the values which have been set are
stored in an EEPROM, they are not erased
even if the power supply is switched off.

The conditions which have been set in the initial setting and the
pressure settings can be checked by the following procedure.

Please note that if any key, except      key, is pressed in any

CONVERSION OF PRESSURE UNITS

In the DP2 series, the conversion to different units is automatically done on changing the setting of the pressure unit. However,
this conversion can also be obtained by multiplying the values by the coefficients given in the following table.

For example, if 2kPa is to be expressed in kgf/cm

2

, since 1kPa=1.01972

10

2

kgf/cm

, 2kPa becomes 2

PEAK HOLD & BOTTOM HOLD FUNCTIONS

15

KEY-PROTECT FUNCTION

Peak hold and bottom hold functions enable the display of the
peak value (maximum pressure value in case of the positive
pressure type sensor and maximum vacuum pressure value
in case of the vacuum pressure type sensor) and the bottom
value (minimum pressure value in case of the positive
pressure type sensor and minimum vacuum pressure value in
case of the vacuum pressure type sensor) of the varying
measured pressure.

These functions are convenient for finding the pressure
variation range or for determining the reference for pressure
settings.

Key-protect is a function which prevents any unintentional
change in the conditions which have been entered in each
setting mode by making the sensor not to respond to the key
operations.

16

LABEL FOR CHANGE IN PRESSURE UNIT

When a pressure unit other than ‘kPa’ or ‘MPa’ has been
selected in the initial setting mode, the label (supplied as
accessory) which corresponds to the selected unit should be
stuck at the position shown in the figure below.

Please note that the peak value and the bottom value data
is erased when it is no longer displayed.

The response time of the comparative outputs becomes
slower during the peak hold and bottom hold display.

Since the key-protect information is stored in an EEPROM,
it is not erased even if the power supply is switched off.

Please take care to remember if the key-protect function
has been set.

In case of a positive pressure type
sensor, if     key is pressed once, the set
value changes towards the high pressure
side by 1 digit and if     key is pressed
once, the set value changes towards the
low pressure side by 1 digit.
In case of a vacuum pressure type
sensor, if      key is pressed once the set
value changes towards the high vacuum
side by 1 digit and if     key is pressed
once the set value changes towards the
low vacuum side by 1 digit.

If     key or     key is pressed conti-
nuously, the set value changes quickly.

• 

If the set pressure range is exceeded,
either       (upper limit exceeded) or 

(lower limit exceeded) is displayed.
