GE Druck DPI611-05G

Building on the technical legacy and more than three decades of experience in pressure measurement and calibration, the DPI 611-05G provides all the convenience and reliability of a true “Druck,” yet offers twice the performance in a product half the size.

With the DPI 611-05G you can generate from 95% vacuum to 1 bar/15 psi pneumatic pressure. A simple selector lets you convert from vacuum to pressure and with a few stokes of the pump, you will generate the required pressure. Fine adjustment is made with the built-in volume adjuster and falling calibration points are achieved with the precision vent valve. The redesigned mechanical system provides significantly improved performance, allowing you to generate 1 bar/15 psi while holding the instrument in one hand. It’s also quicker, taking just 30 seconds to generate maximum pressure even with a one metre hose connecting the device. With an ergonomic design, a hand strap you can position on the left or right and a soft over-moulding provide you with a firm grip for hand-held use and prevent the instrument from sliding when on a test bench. The proven mechanical design provides a simple-to-use, dependable system without the pitfalls of electromechanical devices; namely, poor reliability, regular servicing, dependence on battery condition and long pressure cycle times.

Making a leak-tight pressure connection in the field is inevitably frustrating. The 611-05G comes with a quick-to-fit adaptor system that has a number of advantages over conventional methods: All adaptors, hoses and accessories, including the dirt moisture trap, are quick and simple to fit. No tools or sealing are required and connections are leak free. Damaged adaptors are very simply replaced and there’s no repair downtime. Making leak tight connections wastes time and for several joints, it takes longer than a calibration. The DPI 611-05G system is proven to significantly reduce set-up time.

Using advanced silicon technology, the digitally corrected “Druck” pressure sensor achieves 0.0185% FS accuracy compared with 0.025% FS for the DPI 610/615. Taking stability and temperature errors into account over the one year calibration period, the DPI 611-05G is more than twice as accurate as its predecessor. This is expressed as a total uncertainty to give you complete confidence in the measurement accuracy between annual calibrations.

The DPI 611-05G is truly a hand-held pressure calibrator, being 50% smaller and 33% lighter than the DPI 610. The redesign of the pressure assembly has resulted in a more efficient and higher performance system that is both smaller and lighter. State-of-the-art microelectronics have reduced the size of the PCA (printed circuit assembly) and lowered the power consumption, which in turn means smaller batteries. Even though the instrument is much smaller, the touch display is almost twice as large for clear viewing and more information.

The DPI 611-05G uses the same interface design as the unique and award-winning DPI 620 Genii (Measures magazine innovative product of 2014). The DASHBOARD function allows for quick application selection without menus or special keys - just tap the app. The TASK menu provides a library of popular configurations. From the calibrator screen three simple gestures completely reconfigure the DPI 611 for the next job. From the FAVORITES menu it’s even quicker to access regularly used and customised TASKS. The DPI 611 touch screen only shows function keys when they’re required, making it quicker and simpler to use than complex keypads with special function keys and key combinations. Application connection diagrams can be viewed on screen.
