HK Instruments 40C AIR FLOW AND VELOCITY TRANSMITTERS DPT-Flow Series Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant familiar with the HK Instruments DPT-Flow series installation instructions. I've reviewed the document and can answer your questions about the air flow transmitters, from mounting and wiring to configuration and zeroing. I'm here to help you understand the device's features and its proper use.
  • What are the measurement ranges for the DPT-Flow series?
    What is the media compatibility for the DPT-Flow series?
    What is the accuracy of the DPT-Flow series?
    What kind of output does DPT-Flow have?
