Step 4 Next, press the port select to deactivate the
display of fl ow measurement data on the side that
you wish to maintain displayed measurement data in
terms of ft/min. A pressure display is deactivated when
it is replaced by a milliamp (mA), Voltage (V) or a
blank (------).
See Section 5.0 for details on the port select function.
In this case we have decided that the left side of the
display will be in meters/second and the right side will
remain in ft/min.
Pressing the port select one time will deactivate the left
pressure display converting it to an mA measurement
fi eld. Pressing the port select a second time will deacti-
vate the right side, converting it to an mA measurement
fi eld and returning the left side of the display to the
function of fl ow measurement.
Since we want the right side to remain ft/min we will
deactivate it in the ft/min mode by pressing the port
select key once.

The HHC will respond with the following display:
ft/min mA
+12345 +1234
Step 5 With the right side deactivated from fl ow mea-
surement activities press the engineering unit key.
ENG
UNIT
The HHC will respond by displaying:
ft/min ft/sec

Step 6 Using the arrow keys select the desired engi-
neering unit for the data on the left side of the display. In
this example we have opted to display the fl ow measure-
ment data on the left side in terms of meters/second rep-
resented by MeterSec on the display. With the MeterSec
engineering unit selected the display will look as follows
with the text “MeterSec” fl ashing:
ft/min ft/sec
MPH MeterSec
Step 7 With the text “MeterSec” selected and fl ashing
press the enter key.

The HHC will respond by displaying the following:

Step 8 Reactivate the right side of the display for
fl ow measurement by pressing the Port Select key, as
required.
First press of the

HHC will respond by displaying the following:
mA ft/min

Second press of the

SEL
HHC will respond by displaying the following:

+1234 +123456
To Exit Flow Measurement and Return to Basic Pressure
Measurement Press the Clear Entry Key (CE).
Using this process, any engineering unit may be selected
for display of the right or left Quick Select module mea-
surement data.
Section 14.7 Simultaneous Display of
Measurement Data for Flow
(Volume or Velocity) and Pressure
The HHC can simultaneously display a fl ow measure-
ment from one installed Quick Select pressure module
and a pressure measurement from a second installed
Quick Select Pressure module. For example, the mea-
surement of fl ow can be displayed in ft/min for one
installed Quick Select pressure module and the second
installed pressure module can be used to simultaneously
display the measured value in terms of inches of water.
This ability eliminates the need for “on-the-fl y” change
between fl ow and pressure measurement functions when
doing airfl ow testing.
To set the HHC up to present simultaneous display of
pressure and fl ow (velocity or volume) data follow the
steps below.
Step 1 With the HHC on and displaying pressure
measurement data from both modules, if necessary,
select the desired engineering unit to be displayed for
the pressure measurement. This is done by activating the
Engineering Unit library accessed by pressing the ENG
