Airflow

 

Calibration

 

consists

 

of

 

adjustments

 

to

 

balance

 

the

 

airflow

 

within

 

the

 

cabinet

 

and

 

the

 

calibration

 

of

 

the

sensors.

 

THIS

 

WORK

 

SHOULD

 

BE

 

DONE

 

ONLY

 

BY

 

A

 

QUALIFIED

 

TECHNICIAN

 

WHO

 

CAN

 

MEASURE

 

THE

 

AIRFLOW

 

FROM

 

THE

 

FILTERS

 

WITH

 

A

 

SUITABLE

 

VELOMETER.

  

NuAire

 

provides

 

one

 

adjustment

 

to

 

balance

 

the

 

airflow

 

within

 

the

 

cabinet.

 

This

 

is:

Since

 

it

 

has

 

been

 

NuAire's

 

experience

 

that

 

the

 

filters

 

may

 

not

 

"load"

 

evenly,

 

both

 

adjustments

 

are

 

necessary

 

for

 

proper

 

cabinet

 

performance.

 

 

The

 

cabinet

 

is

 

considered

 

to

 

be

 

certifiable

 

if

 

the

 

following
