| Description: | The DigiMano 2500 stands apart as a high-accuracy digital pressure/vacuum meter designed to handle both medical and industrial demands. Unlike many competitors, it offers multiple engineering units, real-time data capture over RS-232, built-in data storage, plus optional dual relay outputs for automated pressure control. Its rugged aluminum construction, membrane keypad, and compatibility with a wide range of gases and fluids ensure dependable field use, while the automatic zero, large backlit display and intuitive menu system make it easy to operate. Combined with its real-time clock and NIST-traceable calibration, the DigiMano 2500 provides versatile, precision performance in a portable form factor. | Pressure MAX is the most versatile meter in the industry, eliminating the need to purchase multiple pressure meters for different applications. This design combines access to both a very wide pressure range with high accuracy and an integrated narrower range with extremely high accuracy. At half the size of other pressure meters (1.25” x 2.6” x 3.3”), it is so compact that it fits into your shirt pocket. The incredibly rugged design passes drop testing of 50 times from three feet. Configurable pressure targets to trigger display color for instant pass/fail recognition. Integrated Pronk Mobilize™ wireless technology captures electronic data for a complete test report from your smart device.* Four-year warranty. *Currently available for Apple iOS. In development: Android and Windows compatible versions. Mobilize products available for sale in North America. | The DPM-2200 includes one or two configurable sensors, available differential and temperature configuration, and high-speed analog output. The Model DPM-2200 Series is a microprocessor-based, high-precision digital pressure meter family. These meters measure both gas and liquid pressures and provide multiple engineering unit displays for the results. The unit may have one or two pressure sensors and an optional temperature sensor input to measure pressure and temperature all in one meter. The DPM 2200 Series is intended to be used by skilled technicians in the evaluation and servicing of a wide variety of medical equipment. | The DPM-2300 includes multiple fittings, available differential and temperature configuration (YSI 700 or RTD), and analog output.
