It is not necessary to remove the control chassis from the housing for
installation. If the control chassis is removed from the housing, you
must follow industry standard practice for control and protection
against Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Failure to exercise good ESD
practices may cause damage to the control.
Wiring to housing terminals while chassis is removed may cause dis-
tortion of the internal connector and possible damage to the connec-
tor when the chassis is reinstalled. It is strongly recommended that
the control housing be wired with the chassis installed.
INSTALLATION
Mount the instrument in a location that will not be subject to excessive temperature,
shock or vibration. All models are designed for mounting in an enclosed panel.
Select the position desired for the instrument on the panel. Prepare the panel by cut-
ting and deburring the required opening.
From the front of the panel, slide the instrument through the cut out. The housing
gasket should be against the housing flange before installing.
From the rear of the panel slide the mounting collar over the housing. Hold the hous-
ing with one hand and using the other hand, push the collar evenly against the panel
until the springs are compressed. The ratchets will hold the mounting collar and
housing in place.

SET POINT ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the Digihelic®Controller Set Points is quick and simple. Instead of setting
a set point and deadband, simply adjust
SP1H or SP2H for the desired relay turn
on point, and then adjust
SP1L or SP2L for the desired relay turn off point.

(in. w.c.)
In the above graph, an instrument with a 1.0˝ range would have the SP1 relay turn
on at 0.8˝ and off at 0.4˝.
SP1H sets the relay turn on point, and SP1L sets the relay
turn off point. The relays outputs normally function in the direct acting mode, which
means the relays turn on with an increase in pressure. SP1 may be configured to act
as a reverse acting relay (refer to the 1SP SUB MENU setting, page 15). When set
for reverse acting,
SP1H sets the relay turn OFF point, and SP1L sets the relay turn
ON point. SP2 is always direct acting.

ArEA , DIA , XDIM and YDIM SUB MENUS
These SUB MENUS become accessible if the instrument is set for flow. When meas-
uring flow, the area of the duct must be specified. Tables 3 and 4 show the input
range vs maximum flow and duct size. For a rectangular duct the maximum size is
specified in square feet or meters. For a circular duct the maximum size is specified
as the diameter. X, Y and circular dimensions are entered in feet with 0.01 foot res-
olution for
FLOr = LO and 0.1 foot resolution for FLOr = HI , or entered in millimeters
with 1 millimeter resolution.
ArEA - Area, select CIR for a circular duct or RECT for a rectangular
duct. If a circular duct is selected, the
DIA SUB MENU will be activated. If a
rectangular duct is selected, the
XDIM and YDIM SUB MENUS will be acti-
vated.
DIA - Diameter, enter the diameter of a duct
XDIM - Enter the “X” dimension of a duct

rESO (Resolution) SUB MENU
The Digihelic®Controller is capable of displaying four digits of resolution.
However, at very low pressures the instability of the pressure may cause
fluctuations in the least significant digit causing the least significant digit to be
of little value. Three digit resolution (
3DIG ) can only be active when there is at
least one digit to the right of a decimal.
3DIG - Set display for 3 digit resolution
4DIG - Set display for 4 digit resolution
Pd.S (Process Display) SUB MENU
STD - Display reads pressure, velocity, or flow values
PCT - Display reads % of full scale value
When the display is reading percent,
PCT is displayed in the upper right of
the display. The percent display is only available in pressure operation.
DAMP (Dampening) SUB MENU
Adjust from 1-16
Dampening stabilizes the display from instabilities due to things such as
vibration and excessive pressure fluctuations. The dampening setting adjusts
the amount of readings that are averaged for each display update. Adjust
the dampening value until the display reads a stable value for the application.
AdU (Advanced) MAIN MENU
POL - Process output low ADDR - Modbus® Protocol address
POH - Process output high WR - Modbus®Protocol write enable/disable
MSP1 - Maintenance set point 1 ZERO - Zero calibration
MSP2 - Maintenance set point 2 SPAN - Span calibration
POL and POH (Process Output Low and High) SUB MENUS
This feature is used in pressure operation only.
Process output low and high are used to scale the 4-20 mA output. Set
POL to the desired display reading for 4mA output, and set POH to the
desired display reading for 20 mA output. POH must be higher than POL .
POL may be adjusted 2% BELOW minimum scale up to POH . POH may
be adjusted from
POL to 2% ABOVE maximum scale.
