Clearing the Baseline value on the gauge ensures that the Channel A pressure on the gauge does not
subtract the Baseline pressure, since the software will subtract this once it is entered. In order to avoid
subtracting Baseline pressure twice
–
once on the gauge, and again in software, ensure the gauge is not
using a Baseline value.
If you are using the Method 2 or Combined Method to do the Duct Testing, described in section 8.2.2
and 8.4 respectively, where you are setting the pressure between the duct system and the house to 0
Pa, enter 25 or -25 Pa (Duct Pressure relative to outdoors), NOT 0 Pa.
10.7.2.
“Enter Flow

selection or Range Configuration
selection
The dropdown menu is used to select whether you want to enter data as:
“(Enter
Flow
directly)”
from the gauge, or a
Range Configuration
selection
It does not matter which of the two methods you choose, since either one will calculate the same
results. If you select
“(Enter Flow
directly)”
, Flow result from gauge needs to be entered. Alternatively,
if you select a Range Configuration, Fan Pressure result from the gauge needs to be entered.
The following screenshots shown below in each section are: the dropdown selection, the inputs that
will appear as a result of that selection, and the Leakage Data that appears on the generated report as a
result of that selection. The inputs highlighted in red are what would be copied from the gauge.
