Introduction

The DPI 820 Dual Input Thermometer is part of the GE Druck DPI 800 series of hand held instruments. The DPI 800 series uses Intelligent Digital Output Sensor (IDOS) technology to give instant plug and play functionality with a range of Universal Measurement Modules (UMM). The DPI 820 includes these functions:
Function
* Measure temperature: T1 and/or T2 * Measure temperature difference: T1 - T2 * Cold Junction (CJ) compensation Snapshot: Up to 1000 displays with a date/time stamp Communications port: IDOS or RS232 Language selection ** Measure pressure/Leak test: UMM - Pressure Other functions: Hold, Maximum/Minimum/Average, Filter, Tare,
Scaled values, Bac klight, Alarm
* Refer to “Specification”. ** Optional item

Safety

Before you use the instrument, make sure that you read and understand all the related data. This includes: all local safety procedures, the instructions for the UMM (if applicable), and this publication. Before you start an operation or procedure, make sure that you have the necessary skills (if necessary, with qualifications from an approved training establishment). Follow good engineering practice at all times.
• It is dangerous to ignore the specified limits for the instrument or to use the instrument when it is not in its normal condition. Use the applicable protection and obey all safety precautions.
• Do not use the instrument in locations with explosive gas, vapor or dust. There is a risk of an explosion.
• To prevent electrical shocks or damage to the instrument, do not connect more than 30V between the terminals, or between the terminals and the ground (earth).
• UMM - Pressure options only. To prevent a dangerous release of pressure, isolate and bleed the system befo re you disconnect a pressure connection.

Operation - Thermocouple connections

Attach the thermocouple wires to the applicable thermocouple mini-connector (Figure 1). The wider blade is the negative. Then attach the connector to the instrument.

Operation - Communications port connections

Use the communications port (A1 - item [9]) to attach an IDOS Universal Measurement Module (UMM) or an RS232 device.

• IDOS Communications

When you attach the cable from a UMM (Figure3), the instrument automatically changes the menus to give you all the applicable options (Table 2).

• RS232 Communications

Use an RS232 cable (A1 - item [9a] ) to tr ansmit all the Snapshot data to a PC or a printer (Table4).

Maintenance

This section gives procedures to maintain the unit in a good condition. Return the instrument to the supplier for all repairs.

Maintenance – Clean the unit

Clean the case with a moist, lint-free cloth and a weak detergent. Do not use solvents or abrasive materials.

Maintenance – Replace the batteries

To replace the batteries, refer to B1. Then re-attach the cover. Make sure that the time and date are correct. The calibration facility uses the date to give service and calibration messages.

All the other configuration options stay in memory.

Maintenance – Recalibrate the unit

Note: GE Druck can provide a calibration service that is traceable to international standards.
Before you start the calibration, make sure that the time and date are correct (Table 1). To get accurate results, do the calibration in stable te mperature conditions, and to the applicable calibration standards.

Calibration: Measure mV

The specified accuracy (refer to “Specification”) includes an allowance for temperature changes, reading stability for one year, and the uncertainty of the standard used for calibration. GE Druck recommend that you return the instrument to the manufacturer or an approved service agent for calibration. If you use an alternative calibration facility, make sure that it uses these standards:
• Accuracy of the mV calibration equipment:
0.008% reading + 0.003% FS or better.
• Calibration limit for the instrument (mV measure): 0.01% reading + 4 µV or better.
