Dwyer DH-006 Digihelic Differential Pressure Controller
The Dwyer DH-006 is a 3-in-1 Series DH Digihelic® controller that combines a digital display gage, two control relays, and a scalable 4-20 mA transmitter in a single 1/8 DIN panel instrument. The DH-006 is factory ranged for 0 to 5 in w.c. (1245 Pa full scale) and holds ±0.5% full-scale accuracy at 77°F (25°C), including hysteresis and repeatability. In addition to pressure, the DH-006 can be field-configured for pressure, air velocity, and volumetric flow, with a square-root output that tracks the actual airflow curve. Pressure is displayed in field-selectable engineering units: 5.000 in w.c., 1245 Pa, .4167 ft w.c., 127.0 mm w.c., 12.70 cm w.c., .1806 psi, .3678 in Hg, 9.342 mm Hg, 12.45 mbar, 1.245 kPa, 12.45 hPa, 2.890 oz/in².

Key Features
3-in-1 Instrument
Replaces a separate gage, switch, and transmitter with one device, reducing inventory, panel space, and installation time.
Dual SPDT Control Relays
Two 8 A relays with independent, keypad-adjustable on/off set points let you run two-stage control or set point plus alarm logic.
Scalable 4-20 mA Transmitter
The current output is field-scaled with POL/POH so 4 mA and 20 mA map to any reading inside the unit’s range.
Modbus RTU over RS485
9600 baud Modbus RTU lets the controller read and write to a BAS or PLC; up to 128 units can share one daisy-chained bus.
Square-Root Flow Extraction
Velocity and flow modes apply true square-root extraction so SCFM and FPM readings track the real airflow curve when used with a pitot or flow station.
Universal Power Input
Accepts 100-240 VAC or 24 VDC, so the same unit drops into line-powered or 24 VDC control-panel applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pressure range does the Dwyer DH-006 cover?
The DH-006 is factory ranged for 0 to 5 in w.c. (1245 Pa full scale). The 4-digit display and 4-20 mA output are both scaled to this range.
Can the DH-006 control equipment on its own?
Yes. The DH-006 has two built-in SPDT relays rated 8 A at 240 VAC, each with an independent keypad-set turn-on and turn-off point, so it can switch fans, dampers, or alarms without an external controller.
Does the DH-006 support BAS integration?
Yes. The DH-006 provides Modbus® RTU over RS485 at 9600 baud and a scalable 4-20 mA analog output, so it integrates with most building automation and PLC systems.
Can the DH-006 measure air velocity and flow?
Yes. The DH-006 can be configured for velocity (up to 8954 SFPM) and volumetric flow (SCFM / m³/h). It applies square-root extraction and accepts a K-factor for pitot tubes, plus round or rectangular duct dimensions.
What power input does the DH-006 require?
The DH-006 accepts either 100-240 VAC (50-400 Hz) / 132-240 VDC high-voltage power or 24 VDC low-voltage power, making it suitable for both line-powered and 24 VDC control-panel installations.
