Using Range Configuration Options
Each flow device – or fan – supports various flow restrictor range configurations which enable
you to test enclosures with larger or smaller leakage areas. Each fan model that your gauge can
control can use a unique set of flow ranges. Your DM-2A gauge can be configured to specific
range configuration for your selected device. The range configuration setting you select in turn
affects all calculated values displayed by your gauge.
The flow ranges are achieved by enlarging or reducing the opening of the fan being used
delivers air flow to the enclosure being tested. Using a combination of various-sized fitted rings
and plugs the fan opening can be enlarged or reduced.
The flow settings achieved by applying these restrictions apply a specific range configuration
value and as the fan opening size changes, the range configuration is changed. The range
configurations applied to the fan correspond to configurations on your gauge for the device you
are using. For example, the Retrotec 3300 series door-fan has 7 flow ranges (Open, A, B, C8, C4,
C2, C1) which correspond to the rings and plugs while they are installed in the fan opening.
You can change the range configuration for your gauge using the Range COnfig keypad
button. The current range is indicated on your gauge’s display screen adjacent to the Range
Configuration label (as shown next).
