Introduction
The DPI 832 Electrical Loop Calibrator is part of the
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). Example: the Universal Pressure Module
(UPM).
The DPI 832 includes these functions:
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.
WARNING
• 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).
• UPM only. To prevent a dangerous release of
pressure, isolate and bleed the system before you
disconnect a pressure connection.

• Example - “Nudge” output.
a. Use Edit (■■) to set a value less than the switch
value.
b. Use the ▲▼buttons to change the value in small
increments.
•Example-“Ramp”output.
a. Set “High” and “Low” values that are applicable to
the switch value (Table 6). Then, to get an accurate
switch value, set a long “Travel” period.
b. Use Start/Stop (■■) to start and stop the “Ramp”
cycle.
4. If necessary, supply the output values in the opposite
direction until the switch changes condition again.
The display shows the applicable values to open and
close the switch.
5. To do the test again, press ESC to reset the values.

Operation - UPM Pressure measurements
Read all the instructions supplied with the UPM and then
use the specified procedures to connect it (Figure 6/7).
Figure 6: Example configuration - Pressure measurement
with a UPM
When the connections are complete, make the necessary
IDOS selections (Table 2/3).
If you re-attach a UPM, the instrument uses the same
measurement units that you used before. The instrument
keeps a record for the last 10 modules.
UPM - Measure the pressure
To measure the pressure (Figure 6):
1. Select the applicable pressure task from Select Task
(Table 2/3) and, if necessary, adjust the Set Up (Table 1),
and the Settings (Table 4/5).
2. If necessary, do a zero correction (Table 4).

Operation - Error indications
If the display shows <<<< or >>>> :
• Make sure that the range is correct.
• Make sure that all the related equipment and
connections are serviceable.
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.
Calibration
Note: GE can provide a calibration service that is traceable
to international standards.
We 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.
Calibration - Before you start
To do an accurate calibration, you must have:
• the calibration equipment specified in Table 8.
• a stable temperature environment: 70 ± 2°F (21 ± 1°C)
Table 8: Calibration equipment
Before you start the calibration, make sure that the time
and date on the instrument are correct (Table 1).

calibration (Zero and +FS). The display shows the
applicable instructions to complete the calibration.
4. To make sure that the calibration is correct, select the
applicable Volts output task and range (Table 2).
5. Then set the output values that are applicable to the
calibration:
• mV: 0 (short circuit), 30, 60, 90, 120
OR
• Volts (V): 0 (short circuit), 3, 6, 9, 12
6. Make sure that the error is in the specified limits
(Table 13 or Table 14).

Calibration - Procedures (mA output)
1. Connect the instrument to the calibration equipment
(Figure 3).
2. Let the equipment get to a stable temperature
(minimum: 5 minutes since the last power on).
3. Use the calibration menu (Table 9) to do a two-point
calibration (Zero and +FS). The display shows the
applicable instructions to complete the calibration.
4. To make sure that the calibration is correct, select the
applicable mA output task (Table 2) and set these
output values:
• mA: 0 (short circuit), 4, 12, 20, 24
5. Make sure that the error is in the specified limits
(Table 15).
Table 15: mA output error limits
Calibration - Procedures (IDOS UMM)
Refer to the user manual for the IDOS UMM.
When the calibration is complete, the instrument
automatically sets a new calibration date in the UMM.
