USING THE DG-1000 WITH THE MINNEAPOLIS BLOWER DOOR
Before the Test
• Install the blower door frame, panel and fan into an exterior doorway. For instructions about how to do this, please see
Chapter 2 of the Minneapolis Blower Door User Manual.
• Prepare the building for the blower door test. For instructions about how to do this, please see
Chapter 3 of the Minneapolis Blower Door Manual.
Tubing Hookup
1. Attach one end of the red tube to the Channel B input tap. Attach the other end
of the red tube to the pressure tap on the blower door fan.
2. Attach one end of the green tube to the Channel A reference tap. Run the other
end of the tubing outside through one of the holes provided in the lower corner
of the nylon panel.
3. Attach one end of the clear tube to the Channel B reference tap. Run the other end of the tubing outside through one of the
holes provided in the lower corner of the nylon panel. The end of the clear tubing should be placed next to the side of the fan,
but not in the fan’s airstream.
Note: For help with how to connect the tubing to the DG-1000, please use the

Fan Direction
Before conducting the pressurization test, make sure the fan direction is reversed by
removing the fan from the nylon panel, and re-inserting it with the exhaust side facing
inside the building.
Conducting the Test
Once the equipment has been setup, follow the instructions in the
