GENERAL
EXHAUST DUCT
SIZES
EX1 DCT
AREA
EX2 DCT
AREA
The
EX# DCT AREA
item inputs the general exhaust duct
size. The duct size is needed to compute the total general
exhaust flow out of the laboratory. This item requires a flow
station to be mounted in each general exhaust duct.
If the DIM displays English units, area must be entered in
square feet. If metric units are displayed area must be entered
in square meters.
0–10 square feet
(0–0.9500 square
meters)
The DIM does not
compute duct area. The
area must be first
calculated and then
entered into the unit.

STATION ZERO
EX1 FLO
ZERO
EX2 FLO
ZERO
The
EX# FLO ZERO
item establishes the flow station zero
flow point. A zero or no flow point needs to be established in
order to obtain a correct flow measurement output (see
section).
All pressure-based flow stations need to have an
EX# FLO
ZERO
established on initial set up. Linear flow stations with a
1-5 VDC output also need to have an
EX# FLO ZERO
established. Linear flow stations with a 0-5 VDC output do not
need a
EX# FLO ZERO.
NONE
FLOW STATION
TYPE
FLO STA
TYPE
The
FLO STA TYPE
item is used to select the flow station
input signal. PRESSURE is selected when TSI flow stations
with pressure transducers are installed. LINEAR is selected
when a linear output flow station is installed (0-5 VDC):
Typically a thermal anemometer based flow station.
