Positive vs. Negative Pressure
The DM-2 gauge will display pressures from -1250 Pa to + 1250 Pa.
A higher pressure on the positive (“Input”) port than on the negative (“Reference”) port displays a
positive pressure on the gauge. Alternatively, a higher pressure on the negative (“Reference”) port
than on the positive (“Input”) port displays a negative pressure.
Measure a negative pressure
1. Connect a pressure tube to the red (negative, “Reference”) port of the DM-2.
2. Place the end of the tube into a glass of water, about 1 inch below the surface.
3. The gauge will display around -1.00 in WC, or -250 Pa or -5.2 PSF. Notice the negative sign.
Figure 2. The gauge displays a negative pressure (-1 in WC, or -0.1 Pa) on the DM-2.
