GE Introduces New DPI 150 Precision Indicator
New Fairfield, Connecticut, April 6, 2004 - GE Infrastructure Sensing, a leading provider of precision sensing products, systems and services, announced today the DPI 150 next generation precision pressure indicator.
The DPI 150 represents the latest developments in sensing and microprocessor technologies, including the company's latest Intelligent Digital Output Sensor (IDOS), within a highly compact bench or panel-mounting instrument. Extremely competitively priced and simple to use, the DPI 150 delivers a measurement precision/stability performance usually associated with laboratory reference standards.
The DPI 150 builds on 30 years of successful production of intelligent, user-friendly instruments to meet the varied and exacting needs of the industrial pressure measurement user in a diverse range of industries and applications. It is ideal for use as a general indicator or as a calibration/service laboratory standard. The high accuracy and long- term stability improve productivity and reduce cost of ownership.
"The DPI 150 is a significant addition to our wide range of pressure instrument products," said Kermit Hoffman, president of GE Infrastructure Sensing-Americas. "It sets a new standard in performance and value for high-precision applications, allowing the widest range of customers to benefit."
Pressure ranges span from 5 up to 3000 psi and external sensors can be supplied for remote monitoring where required. Precision is typically 0.01% full scale (0.03% below 15 psi) and this includes the combined effects of non-linearity, hysteresis, repeatability and temperature effects 18 to 28 deg C. Long term stability is 100 ppm reading per year. A precision barometric reference option offers 0.002 psi precision and long-term stability.
The high-contrast, backlit LCD offers a full six digit scaling with choice of 24 user selectable pressure units. User interface is a simplified, menu-driven keypad and standard RS232 (SCPI protocol) communications; also IEEE488/analogue options. The DPI 150 is compact (7.2" wide x 3" high x 7.7" deep), which makes it ideal for benchtop use or alternatively, for panel mounting using a standard kit option.
