DISPLAY FEATURES
The DPM-400's display provides multiple ways to help users
understand and keep track of their processes. The most obvious is
the dual line which typically allows the user to display a numeric value
of the process variable on the top line and units and/or a tag on the
bottom line. There is also a bargraph that includes a numeric value of
the percentage the bargraph represents. Finally, to alert users to an
alarm condition, the display can turn red and flash an alarm message.
Dual-Line Display with PV/Units/Tag/Bargraph
One of the most common configurations of these instruments is
displaying the process variable on the top line and units and a tag
toggling on the bottom line with a bargraph for additional clarity:
To help users get a quick understanding of where their process is at,
certain DPM-400 models are available with a 20-segment bargraph.
This bargraph also includes a numeric value of the percentage the
bargraph represents.

Alarms Indicated by Flashing Red Messages
When an alarm occurs, the DPM-400’s display can be programmed to
turn red and flash an alarm message along with the process variable.
The DPM-400’s flashing red alarm message can be activated even if
no relay or open collector is connected.

Dual-Scale Display Feature
Users can use the DPM-400’s dual-scale feature when they want to
show the same input in two different scales. For instance, the following
example shows an application where the DPM-400 displays the input
in feet and gallons:
Display Feet & Gallons and Toggle Between Units
Feet & Inches Display with Bargraph
There are DPM-400 models available for users that prefer to see
their level displayed in feet & inches instead of decimal format. These
versions can display level to 999FT 11IN & 15/16 on the top line. The
bottom line can toggle between a tag and units or if dual scale mode is
used, can display the input in a different scale such as volume.
