Digital Differential Pressure Sensor
The digital differential pressure sensor DP measures the pressure difference between two
points and when the difference exceeds a predefined set-point it reacts by closing a dry
contact output. The unit is meant to be used with backwashing systems of automatic filters, it
is highly accurate and low power consuming.
The red LED – blinks
during normal operation
and blinks fast when the
battery is low
The green LEDis ON when the
contact is closed

Starting Up
The electronic board contains 4 dip-switches (S1) which serve for starting up the system and
selecting the reaction set-point. When all the 4 switches are in OFF position (pointing down)
the unit is not active. When there is at least one switch ON (pointing up) the unit is active. The
active state is indicated by the blinking of the red LED, a short blink each 5 seconds.

Reaction set-point setting
The state of the 4 dip-switches S1 defines the pressure difference at which the unit will react
by closing its dry contact output, this point is known as the reaction set-point. As long as the
pressure difference stays above the defined set point the contact remains closed. The
following table shows the connection between the position of S1 and the pressure difference
associated with each setting,

Testing the dry contact operation
The electronic board contains a “test switch” that when pushed will cause the dry contact to
be closed for 5 seconds. As usually, the closing of the contact will be indicated by lighting the
green LED.
Remarks
It is necessary to use a filter between the high pressure point and the RED command
tube to eliminate blocking the command tube by the unfiltered water.
For energy saving purposes the pressure difference is checked every 15 seconds.
Then 16 samples are taken continuously, the average of these samples is considered
as the current pressure difference reading.
For energy saving purposes the position of JP4 can be changed so that the middle pin
will be connected to the upper pin (instead of to the lower pin). As a result of this, the
LED indications will be stopped.
The user is not permitted to touch any of the jumpers except for JP4 ! Any change in
the position of the jumpers may disturb the operation of the unit. The correct jumpers
setting is as shown in the picture above.
When the battery voltage drops bellow 6.5 volts the dry contact is opened regardless of
the pressure difference and the unit turns itself OFF.
