SECULIFE DPPRO
The Model SECULIFE DPPRO is a family of microprocessor-based, high-precision Pressure Meters, which are intended for use in the evaluation
and servicing of a wide variety of medical, commercial and industrial applications. These meters measure compatible gas and liquid
pressures in various engineering units. Available optional features include a RS-232 port for remote control and data collection, a DC analog
output option, and an optional temperature sensor input (either YSI 700 Series or 100 Ω RTD Probe).

MAIN SCREENS – There can be up to four main screens, depending on the model. They are PRESSURE 1, PRESSURE 2, TEMPERATURE,
COMBINED and INPUTS. The available screens can be toggled through using .

PRESSURE SCALE – The pressure scale is indicated by the units displayed under the reading. The scale can be changed by using
to highlight the unit line and to toggle between available pressure units as listed below.
Pressure Units
PSI mmHg @ 0 °C
inH2O @ 4 °C mmHg @ 20 °C
inH2O @ 20 °C kg/cm2
inH2O @ 60 °F kPa
cmH2O @ 20 °C mBar
inHg @ 0 °C Bar
inHg @ 20 °C
NOTE: If the measured pressure is outside of the range of the instrument, an OVER RANGE or UNDER RANGE message box will be displayed.
Typical display with “Over Range”
message box.
3
TEMPERATURE SCALE – The temperature scale is indicated by the units displayed under the reading. The scale can be changed by using
to highlight the unit line and to toggle the temperature units between Degrees Celsius (°C) and
Fahrenheit (°F).
NOTE: If the measured temperature is outside of the range of the instrument, an OVER RANGE or UNDER RANGE message box will be
displayed. For models with the YSI option, the NO PROBE message box will be displayed when the unit detects an open connection. For
models with the RTD option, the OVER RANGE message box will also be displayed with an open connection.
Typical display with
“No Probe” message
box.
NOTE: YSI option only
SYSTEM SETUP – The Setup Mode allows the user to adjust the configuration of the meter. The Setup screen can be entered using the
key. The parameters can be changed by using to highlight the line and to toggle the available options. The
Setup screen can be exited using the key.
4
ZEROING PRESSURE SCALES – When there is no pressure applied to either port, the display should read “0.” It may be necessary to zero
the pressure scales to remove any errors due to ambient conditions. This is done by pressing the key until the zeroing instructions are
displayed, then pressing simultaneously to begin the process. The “ZEROING…” message will flash
while the scale is being zeroed.
When the zeroing instructions are displayed again, the process is complete.
NOTE: Each sensor needs to be zeroed separately.
LOW BATTERY – When the battery life reaches 10 percent, the LOW BATTERY message box will be displayed.
Typical display with
“Low Battery” message
box.
NOTE: A battery eliminator receptacle is provided so that the unit can be powered by the optional 9 VDC Battery Eliminator, enabling
continuous operation.
NOTE: The unit is shipped with a Red Battery Lock-Out plug installed into the line power receptacle as shown below. Its purpose is to prevent
the unit from accidentally being turned on during handling and transport, subsequently depleting the battery. This plug must be removed
before any use!

Keys
Six tactile-touch keys are provided for system operation:
– This key turns the unit off and on. The unit will return to the main screen that was active when it was turned off.
– In the DISPLAY MODE, these keys toggle the display through the available main screens.
In the SELECT MODE, if a parameter has been highlighted, these keys will scroll through the available settings.
– On any screen, there are a number of parameters that may be selected and changed. This key sequences the cursor (Highlight)
through those parameters.
– This key is used to Hold (freeze) and Reset (unfreeze) any of the input displays. Depressing this key will hold the currently
displayed Pressure or Temperature reading until reset. Each input can be held independently.
When active, the word “HOLD” is in the display. Depressing this key on a screen that is held will reset that input and remove the word
“HOLD” from the display.
NOTE: In the composite screen, the hold feature requires that the specific input be selected using before is used.
