Product Description
Ace Instruments AI-DDPG/DP-1-1 differential pressure instrumentation range is designed for precise and reliable measurement of differential pressure in laminar air flow cabinets, clean rooms, biosafety cabinets, and air handling units. These digital readout gauges serve as an advanced replacement for analog Magnehelic gauges and are equipped with a clear 4 digit LED display for easy readings.
Both the DDPG and DP1-1 models feature a built-in sensor and a buzzer alarm with an acknowledgement facility to alert users of any process violation. Other key features include unit conversion between mm.W.C. and Pascals, offset provision to meet audit requirements, analog 4-20mA output, and 30 mm depth for easy installation on clean room modular walls. The gauges are also equipped with RS 485 Modbus communication for seamless integration with BMS/SCADA/PLC systems.
