Introduction
The DPI 880 Multi-function 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 880 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.

Safety (Continued)
• 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.
Before you start an operation or procedure in this
publication, make sure that you have the necessary skills
(if necessary, with qualifications from an approved
training establishment). Follow good engineering practice
at all times.

To start - Prepare the instrument
Before you use the instrument for the first time:
• Make sure that there is no damage to the instrument,
and that there are no missing items.
• Remove the plastic film that protects the display. Use
the tag (◗) in the top right-hand corner.
• Install the batteries (refer to B1). Then re-attach the
cover.
To start - Power on or off
To turn the instrument on or off, press ❍(A1 - item [1]). The
instrument does a self test and then shows the applicable
data.
When the power is off, the last set of configuration options
stays in memory. Refer to “Maintenance”.
To start - Set up the basic operation
Use the Set Up menu to set up the basic operation of the
instrument.
If there is additional data for a menu option, select
Settings (■■
