14  Set fan speed  

 

 
 

14.1  Press 

[Set Speed]

 

[10-100] [Enter]

 on the 

DM-2 to set any speed from 10 to 100%. 

 

Example:

 Press 

[Set Speed] [25] [Enter]

 to set the fan 

speed to 25%. 

 

Tip 

Monitor “PrA” to ensure that the pressure does not exceed 
90Pa. 

Tip 

Press 

[Exit]

 to turn the fan off. 

 

14.2  Press 

[Jog/Hold]

 until “Jog” appears. This 

enables manual fan speed adjustment. 

      

 

 

14.3  Use 

[

S

] [

T

to adjust the fan speed up or 

down. 

 

Tip 

Click once to change speed by 1%, hold button to 
increment by 5%. 

15  Set pressure automatically 

15.1  Press 

[Set Pressure]

 

[10-90] [Enter]

.  The 

DM-2 will control the fan to achieve the set 
pressure. 

 

 

Example:

 Press 

[Set Pressure] [50] [Enter]

 to instruct 

the DM-2 to attempt to achieve 50Pa building pressure. 
 

15.2  Press 

[Jog/Hold]

 until “Jog” appears, to 

enable manual pressure adjustment. 

Tip 

Click once to change pressure by 5 Pa, hold to increment 
by 10 Pa. 

Tip 

Press 

[Exit]

 to turn the fan off. 

 

16  Viewing flow at another pressure 

16.1  Press 

[@ Pressure]

 until “@...” appears.  

Flow is now calculated at the pressure 
displayed after the “@”. 

 

Example:

 2190 cfm is the flow rate that would occur if the 

exact test pressure of 50 Pa was achieved. 
 

Tip 

It is difficult to achieve an exact test pressure especially 
under windy conditions.  Use “@ Pressure” to improve 
accuracy; flow at the pressure following the “@” sign will 
be displayed. 

In 

[Set Pressure]

 mode, the “@ Pressure” can change 

according to the target pressure which is very useful 
when setting several different test pressures. 

 

“Too Low” is displayed 

If the pressure (PrA) has been reached, but “Too 
Low” appears, the fan is running too slowly to 
measure flow. 

 

1.  Press 

[Exit]

 to stop the fan. 

2.  Add the next smaller range plate. 
3.  Change the 

[Range Config]

 to match. 

4.  Restart the fan and try again. 

 

Cannot reach target pressure (50Pa) 

If the fan reaches 100% speed before reaching the 
target “PrA” pressure: 
1.  Press 

[Exit]

 to stop the fan. 

2.  Remove a range plate, and change the 

[Range 

Config] 

to match. 

3.  Start the fan and try 

again. 

 

Still cannot achieve target pressure 

If the fan reaches 100% speed before reaching the 
target “PrA” pressure and all of the range plates 
have been removed: 
 

 

Press 

[@ Pressure]

 to calculate the flow required to 

establish the target pressure. 

 

Example:

 2200 cfm is the flow rate that would occur at 50 

Pa even though only 42 Pa was achieved. 
 

 

17  Flow at the pressure on channel “PrA” 

17.1  Press 

[@ Pressure]

 until “@...” disappears. 

Flow is now calculated at the pressure 
displayed. 

 

 

 

Example:

 2262.8 cfm is the flow rate that occurred when 

a test pressure of 53.0 Pa was achieved. 

 

Tip 

CFM50 or cfm at 50 Pa is commonly used in the USA.  
Simply establish 50 Pa and read the flow.  

Tip 

The default @ Pressure settings can be changed by using 

[Setup]
