the environment, and the device and the system it is
connected to.
The digital pressure gauge corresponds with the state
of engineering at the time of printing. This concerns
the accuracy, the operating mode and the safe op-
eration of the device. In order to guarantee that the
device operates safely, the operator must act compe-
tently and be conscious of safety issues.

Operating Instructions
Digital Pressure Gauge DPG 2600
General safety instructions:
• In all work, the existing national regulations for ac-
cident prevention and safety at the workplace must
be complied with. Any internal regulations of the
operator must also be complied with, even if these
are not mentioned in this manual.
• Please ensure that the process is unpressurised
before installing or removing the device. Other-
wise, there is a risk that hot, corrosive, toxic or ex-
plosive substances leak.
IMPORTANT! Risk of burns, chemical
burns, poisoning or explosion!
IMPORTANT! Risk of injury or material
damage due to overpressure!
• Exceeding the maximum permissible overload val-
ues may lead to material failure of the digital pres-
sure gauge. This may also cause serious damage
to health.
• Please check if the instrument model is suitable for
your application before ordering and installation.
• Degree of protection according to DIN EN 60 529:
Ensure that the ambient conditions at the installa-
tion location do not exceed the requirements of the
specified degree of protection (chapter 4 “Tech-
nical Data”).
• Use the instrument in its perfect technical condition
only. Damaged or defective instruments need to be
checked immediately and replaced if necessary.
• Only use appropriate tools for mounting, connecting
and dismounting the instrument.
• Nameplates or other information on the device shall
neither be removed nor obliterated, since other-
wise any warranty and manufacturer responsibility
expires.
• In order to ensure measurement accuracy and du-
rability of the instrument and to avoid damage, the
limit values indicated in the technical data have to
be observed.
• In case of visible damage or malfunctions, the in-
strument must be put out of operation immediately.
Special safety instructions:
Warnings, which are specifically relevant to individual
operating procedures or activities, are to be found at
the beginning of the relevant sections of this operating
instruction.
• The operating pressures of the digital pressure
gauge have to be within the specifications of the
device.
• Ensure that construction type and materials of the
digital pressure gauge are resistant regarding ap-
plication conditions and medium.
• Minimise external mechanical influences, such as
oscillations, vibrations and shocks, by an appropri-
ate installation.
• Reduce the influence of vapour, abrasive / aggres-
sive media, dust and soot or others by selecting a
suitable installation location.
• Avoid direct sunlight and immediate vicinity to hot
objects as far as possible.
• Avoid strong electromagnetic fields.
• Modifications or other technical changes of the in-
strument by the customer are not permitted. Other-
wise, you will lose your warranty.
Please observe the following warnings for safe
operations:
• Ensure that the battery terminals are in the cor-
rect position.
• Do never short-circuit the batteries.
• Do never cause the batteries to overheat.
• Do not use batteries that show signs of damage.
• Do never deeply discharge the batteries.
• Do never attempt to open the batteries.
• Dispose of the batteries properly ( chapter 10
“Dismounting and Disposal”).

Operating Instructions
Digital Pressure Gauge DPG 2600
3. Device Description
The digital pressure gauge DPG 2600 has been de-
veloped for the calibration of pressure transmitters,
pressure gauges and pressure switches.
The DPG 2600 is available in two versions:
• all-rounder DPG 2600 A
with a measurement uncertainty of ≤±0.05 % FS
• all-rounder+ DPG 2600 A+
with a measurement uncertainty of ≤±0.02 % FS
With the latest microprocessor technology, the
DPG 2600 is the most advanced portable digital pres-
sure gauge in terms of accuracy. Fully compensated
in the operating temperature range, the polynomial
error compensation ensures accurate measurements
at each point of every pressure range.
It is suitable for calibrating and testing pressure
measuring instruments such as analogue pressure
gauges, digital pressure gauges, pressure transmit-
ters, pressure switches.
The DPG 2600, combined with one of ARMANO's
hand test pumps, is the perfect solution for on-site
calibrations. In calibration laboratories, the DPG 2600
can be combined with one of our DPC 3800 or DPC
4800 series high-precision pressure controllers.

8. Maintenance / Cleaning,
Storage and Transport
CAUTION! Material damage and loss
of warranty!
Any modifications or interventions in the
device, made by the customer, might dam-
age important parts or components. Such
intervention leads to the loss of any warran-
ty and manufacturer’s responsibility!
ÆNever modify the device or perform any
repairs yourself.
Maintenance:
In principle, the device is maintenance-free. If neces-
sary, the housing of the device can be cleaned with a
damp cloth and a non-aggressive cleaning solution
when switched off.
Cleaning:
Depending on the medium, deposits or contamination
may occur. If such a contamination of the medium is
known, the operator has to specify appropriate clean-
ing intervals.
CAUTION! Incorrect cleaning may cause
irreparable damage. Therefore, never use
any sharp objects or compressed air for
cleaning.
IMPORTANT! Improper transport can de-
stroy the device and cause considerable
personal and property damage.
Please inspect the transport packaging and
the delivered items immediately upon their
receipt to determine their integrity, com-
pleteness and conformity with the delivery
documents.
The permissible ambient conditions for
storage and transport can be found in the
data sheet.
Storage:
• If possible, store the instrument in its original pack-
aging.
• If possible, remove the packaging not until installa-
tion of the device.
• Store the instruments in a dry place, not exposed
to direct sunlight.
• The storage temperature of the instruments should
not fall below or exceed the permissible tempera-
ture limitations specified in the data sheet.
Transport:
Electronic components!
The device is equipped with sensitive elec-
tronic components and has to be handled
with due care.
Remove batteries!
If the device is not in use for extended peri-
ods, the batteries should be removed from
the device to preclude any leaking damage.
• Use the original packaging or comparable packag-
ing for transport.
• Avoid impacts or strong vibrations.
• Protect the device against moisture.
9. Return
Prior to any return, whether for recalibration, decalci-
fication, for modification or for repair, the instrument
has to be cleaned thoroughly and packaged careful-
ly. Please enclose a notice of return with a detailed
description of the faults when returning a defective
device. If your instrument came into contact with
harmful substances, a declaration of contamination is
required additionally. A corresponding template can be
found on our website www.armano-messtechnik.com.
If you send in your device without a declaration of con-
tamination and our service department has doubts
regarding the medium used, then the repair will only
be started once a corresponding declaration has been
submitted.
If the device came into contact with
harmful substances, appropriate precau-
tions are to be taken during cleaning!
