OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONT.

• 

VOL

 – Air volume in CFM or CMM, based on dimensions entered  

  

Note:

 

Icon at bottom of screen will indicate the method used to    

 

  calculate volume (LW-Length/Width, D-Diameter, A – Area).

• 

TA

 – Ambient Temperature measured at the probe tip

• 

RH

 – Relative Humidity measured at the probe tip

• 

WBT

 – Wet Bulb Temperature calculated from measured 

 

temperature and RH%

• 

DP

 – Dew Point Temperature calculated from measured 

 

temperature and humidity

MEASURING AIR VOLUME (CFM OR CMM)

Measuring air volume with the DAFM3B has two steps. The first step is 

to enter the characteristics of the area being measured. There are three 

methods to enter this and depend on the location of your measurement. 

If measuring square duct work you would enter 

Length and Width 

(LW)

. For round duct you would enter 

Diameter (D)

. If measuring the 

exit with a grill it is recommended to use the effective area or free 

area 

(A)

 from the grill manufacture. If this is not known, the air volume 

measurement will be an estimate.

  

Note:

 

Grill manufacturers often provide engineering data on 

 

  effective or free area. This is indicated as the Ak value.

ENTERING DUCT INFORMATION

 

1. Press 

MODE

 until VOL is showing in the upper right corner of the  

   display
 

2. Press 

LW-D-AREA

 until the desired method is showing in the    

 

  lower left corner of the display

 

3. Press 

MIN/MAX AVG (   )

 to select this mode

    a. Press 

 (HOLD)

 to increase the value

    b. Press 

 (LW-D-AREA)

 to decrease the value

    c. Press 

MIN/MAX AVG (   )

 to accept the displayed value

    

Note:

 

Press and hold to scroll through the values quickly.   

 

 

    Release and then press briefly to increase or decrease one 

 

    digit at a time.

After entering the duct characteristics you will be taken back to the 

display for Air Volume. Hold the probe in the area to be measured for a 

direct display of air volume.
