Set the Gauge up with only the Devices and results you use
regularly
While the gauge can be run using the default settings, configuring the gauge for a specific fan system
and testing protocol can save time and reduce the chance of making mistakes. Some systems may be
ordered with the correct settings for a specific region and for the equipment being used. The Setup
Menu provides access to a number of settings, including the Device and Mode Setup screens.
