RECHARGABLE BATTERY WARNINGS 1.6
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack
can leak electrolyte, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
• Do not transport or store the battery pack together with metal
objects. If short-circuiting occurs, over-current will flow, causing
the battery pack to leak electrolyte, overheat, emit smoke, burst
and/or ignite.
• Do not discard the battery pack into fire or heat it.
• Do not expose cells or batteries to heat or fire. Avoid storage in
direct sunlight.
• Do not use or leave the battery pack near a heat source (+80ºC or
higher).
• Do not immerse the battery pack in water. Do not allow it to get
wet.
• Do not recharge the battery pack near fire or in extremely hot
weather.
• To recharge the battery use the DPI611 and DPI612 internal
charging function or the CX6100GE desktop charger. Do not use
any other charger.
• Do not subject the battery pack to mechanical shock.
• Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery pack.
• Do not directly solder the battery pack.
• Do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
Page 11 of 105 [EN] English – 109M4017 Revision -
Page 12
User Manual Druck DPI612
Otherwise, during recharging, the battery pack will be reversecharged, abnormal chemical reactions then may occur, or
excessively high current can flow during discharging, leading to
electrolyte leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or
ignition.
• Do not force the connection if you cannot easily connect the
battery pack terminals to the battery pack charger. Confirm that
the terminals are correctly oriented.
• Do not use the battery pack for a purpose other than powering
either DPI611/DPI612 products.
• Do not use any battery which is not designed for use with the
equipment.
• Do not connect the battery pack to any other electrical outlet.
• Do not mix batteries of different manufacture, capacity, size or
type within the DPI611 or DPI612.
• If recharging operation fails to complete even when a specified
recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop further recharging.
• Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven. Rapid heating
or disrupted sealing can lead to electrolyte leakage, overheating,
smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• If electrolyte leaks from the battery pack or gives off a bad odour,
remove it from any exposed flame. Otherwise, the leaking
electrolyte may catch fire and the battery pack may emit smoke,
burst or ignite.
• If the battery pack gives off an odour, generates heat, becomes
discoloured or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during
use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the
equipment or battery pack charger and stop using it. Otherwise,
the problematic battery pack can develop electrolyte leakage,
overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.

required for use.
• Secondary batteries need to be charged before use. Always use
the correct charger and refer to the user manual for proper
charging instructions.
• Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
• After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge
and discharge the battery several times to obtain maximum
performance.
• Do not subject the battery pack to intense sunlight or hot
temperatures, for example in a car during hot weather. Otherwise,
electrolyte leakage, overheating and/or smoke emission can occur.
Also, its guaranteed performance will be lost and/or its service life
will be shortened.
• The battery pack incorporates built-in safety devices. Do not use it
in a location where static electricity is present.
• The guaranteed recharging temperature range is 0°C to +45ºC. A
recharging operation outside this temperature range can lead to
electrolyte leakage and/or overheating of the battery pack and
may cause damage to it.
• In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in
contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the
affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical
advice.
• Seek medical advice immediately if material or content from a

b. Procedure (to Remove)
To remove a device, first release the pressure (See Section 2.2.2). You
can then do steps 4, 3, and 1 mentioned in Section2.1.1. But do the
operations in the reverse order.
2.1.2 Attach a Pressure Relief Valve
Optional accessory; see Section 1.10.13. Use a pressure relief valve
(PRV) to set a limit to the pressure you can apply to the pressure
devices attached to the pressure station. The PRV is set at the
factory to operate at the maximum pressure specified on the label.
If the pressure in the instrument is more than the relief pressure set
for the PRV, the PRV controls a slow release of the unwanted
pressure. The correct PRV helps prevent overpressure and damage
to the attached devices.

4 DOCUMENTATION
This chapter describes the Documenting functions available with the
Druck DPI612 calibrator as follows:
• ANALYSIS
• RUN PROCEDURE
ANALYSIS 4.1
The Analysis function takes readings from two or more DPI612
channels to calibrate the transfer characteristic of the device being
tested. One channel is the Reference channel and is used as follows:
• It provides a measure of the input signal to the device.
• If the device is a pressure transmitter the Reference
channel would be Pressure, measuring the input pressure
to the device.
The other channel is the Input channel and is used as follows:
• Measures the output signal from the device
• If calibrating a process transmitter it could be the electrical
channel in Current Measure mode.
Any active channel that is not defined as Reference is Input by
default.
There must be one Reference channel and at least one Input
channel defined for the Analysis function set-up to be correct.
At each value the Analysis function calculates the difference of each
Input channel to the ideal transfer characteristic and compares this
to a tolerance limit.
• The deviation is shown in %Span or %Rdg
• The tolerance test result is shown a Pass or Fail
icon.

5 CALIBRATION
GENERAL 5.1
The instrument is supplied by the manufacturer, complete with
calibration certificate(s). A calibration period of 12 months is
recommended. The actual calibration interval depends on
instrument usage and the total measurement uncertainty
acceptable for the specified application.
The DPI612 is a very precise measuring instrument and the test
equipment and conditions of test must be suitable for the type of
work. The calibration check and calibration adjustment should be
carried out in a controlled environment by a calibration technician.
Note: A calibration technician must have the necessary technical
knowledge, documentation, special test equipment and tools to carry
out the calibration work on this equipment.
Note: GE Measurement and Control can provide a calibration service
that is traceable to international standards.
Note: GE Measurement and Control recommend returning the
instrument to the manufacturer or an approved service agent for
calibration. If using an alternative calibration facility, check that it
uses the standards that follow.
CALIBRATION CHECK 5.2
At the chosen calibration interval, the instrument readings should be
compared with a known pressure standard.
The recommended method starts at 0, increasing in 20% steps to
100% full-scale and then decreasing in 20% steps to 0.
Note any deviations between the instrument and the pressure
standard and consider traceability (accuracy to a National
Standard).

Calibration equipment
IDOS
UPM only. Refer to the user manual for the IDOS UPM.
If, after a calibration check, the results exceed the tolerance in the
specification (or other suitable performance standard), carry out a
calibration adjustment.
CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENTS 5.3
If the instrument is operating correctly, only zero and full-scale
calibration will vary. Any excessive non-linearity or temperature
effects indicate a fault. The instrument should be returned to a
qualified service agent.
BEFORE STARTING 5.4
Use only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. To do an
accurate calibration, use the following:
• Calibration equipment specified in Table 5-1.
• Stable temperature environment: 21 ±1°C (70 ±2°F).
Before starting a calibration procedure, it is recommended leaving
the equipment in the calibration environment for a minimum of two
