Figure 3: Example configuration: Vout
Operation - Menu: Set Vout scale factor
When the Vout function is set to P-V or US mode, the Vout
scale factor becomes part of the Vout calculation (refer to
“Operation - Menu: Supply voltage output (Vout)”).
If the pressure ranges for the DPI 104 and the external
pressure regulator are different, you must set an
applicable scale factor (0.01 to 9.99).
Example - To get a 25 bar (or a 375 psi) line pressure with:
• an External pressure regulator:
FSO = 100 bar (or 1500 psi)
• a DPI 104: FSO = 200 bar (or 3000 psi)
In this example:
To get a 25 bar (or a 375 psi) line pressure, the DPI 104 uses
these values to supply the Vout value shown below:
Operation - Menu: Set automatic power OFF
Use this function to save battery power. The power goes
off a specified period after the last button or external
software operation. To get the maximum battery life, we
recommend you use this function.

Maintenance
Clean the case with a moist, lint-free cloth and a weak
detergent. Do not use solvents or abrasive materials.
Make sure that there is no damage to the threads and
O-rings, and that they are free of grit and other
obstructions.
You must return the unit to the supplier for all repairs.
Maintenance – Replace the batteries
To replace the batteries, refer to “Installation”. All the
configuration options stay in memory.
Maintenance – Restore the original configuration
If it is necessary to restore the unit to the original factory
configuration, press and hold all four buttons until the
display goes off ( ≈five seconds). The unit then restarts.
“To start - Menu operation” shows the factory settings. The
lock code is reset to the factory code (000).
Calibration
Note: GE can provide a calibration service that is traceable
to international standards.
We recommend that you return the DPI 104 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 - Equipment and conditions
To do an accurate calibration, you must have:
• the calibration equipment specified in Table 7.
• a stable temperature environment: 20 ± 1°C (68 ± 2°F)
Table 7: Calibration equipment
Calibration - Procedures
1. Connect the applicable calibration equipment (Table 7).
2. Menu: Set the menu option to C _ _ _ _ . Then set the
calibration access code = last four digits of the serial
number (Refer to “To start - Menu operation”).
There are three calibration options (Table 8):
Table 8: Calibration options
Calibration - C0 (Zero offset)
The DPI 104 shows these displays:
1. The calibration point to be used for C0. This value is
only adjustable for an absolute type DPI 104 (Table 8).
C0 - Gauge = 0000.0
5. Repeat steps 3 + 4for each digit and for the decimal
point. The value is ignored if it is not in the permitted
limits (Table 8).
This value is then used as the Set Point (SP) on the
subsequent displays.
6. This sequence of displays will follow:
The SP value is followed by the measured pressure -
Current Pressure (CP). This sequence continues until you
accept or reject the offset value.
7. When the pressure is stable:
The value is ignored if it is not in the permitted limits (5% FS)
or if the CP value is not stable.

Calibration - C2 (two-point pressure calibration)
Point 1 (P1) - The DPI 104 shows these displays:
1. The calibration point to be used for C2 - Point 1. This
value is only adjustable for an absolute type DPI 104
(Table 8). C2 - Point 1 (Gauge) = 0000.0
5. Repeat steps 3 + 4for each digit and for the decimal
point. The value is ignored if it is not in the permitted
limits (Table 8).
This value is then used as the Set Point (SP) for point 1
on the subsequent displays.
6. This sequence of displays will follow:
The SP value is followed by the measured pressure - CP.
This sequence continues until you accept or reject the
point 1 value.
7. When the pressure is stable:
The value is ignored if it is not in the permitted limits (5% FS)
or if the CP value is not stable.
Point 2 (P2) - Use the same steps (1to 5above) to set
C2 - Point 2. This is the FS value and it is adjustable for the
absolute and gauge type DPI 104 (Table 8).
6. This sequence of displays will follow:
The SP value is followed by the measured pressure - CP.
This sequence continues until you accept or reject the
point 2 value.
7. When the pressure is stable:
The value is ignored if it is not in the permitted limits (5% FS)
or if the CP value is not stable.
Calibration - V2 (two-point voltage calibration)
Point 1 (P1) - The DPI 104 shows these displays:
1. The calibration point to be used for V2 - Point 1.
After step 2, the DPI 104 sets Vout to 0.1 V. Correct the
value (P1) to the value shown on the voltage calibrator.
5. Repeat steps 3 + 4for each digit. The value is ignored if
it is not in the permitted limits (Table 8).
Point 2 (P2) - If P1 has a permitted value, the DPI 104 shows
these displays:
1. The calibration point to be used for V2 - Point 2.
After step 2, the DPI 104 sets Vout to 5.0 V. Correct the
value (P2) to the value shown on the voltage calibrator.
5. Repeat steps 3 + 4for each digit. The value is ignored if
it is not in the permitted limits (Table 8).
6. If P2 has a permitted value, the DPI 104 uses the new
P1/P2 values to adjust the output (Vt):
