room pressure

The pressure difference created by the Door Fan between inside and outside of the enclosure.
This pressure is commonly measured by Channel A on the gauge.

Speed Control port

Output Control port on the gauge, to control fan speed

, labeled “Speed Control”

time averaging

Refers to the digital gauge display that must have an adjustable averaging from 1 second to 1
minute for the purpose of averaging fluctuating pressure signals.
Averaging can be block averages that will update for the length of the average or rolling
(moving) averages that will update continuously by displaying the average over the past time
period.
