A higher value is taken with the sash partially closed and this is also 

‘captured’ by the alarm. From these two known points the alarm will track 
the face velocity over the whole range of the hood face velocities

.  

 

  

Before starting the calibration of the alarm please read the ‘Calibration 

  Notes ‘   below.

 

 
   

When you are ready to start the calibration proceed as follows :-  

 

a.
