through
HD7 DCT
AREA
The
HD# DCT AREA
item inputs the fume hood exhaust
duct size. The duct size is needed to compute the flow out of
the fume hood. This item requires a flow station to be
mounted in each fume hood 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.

ZERO
The
HD# 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
Calibration
section).
All pressure based flow stations need to have a
HD# FLO
ZERO
established on initial set up. Linear flow stations with
a 1-5 VDC output also need to have a
HD# FLO ZERO
established. Linear flow stations with a 0-5 VDC output do
not need a
HD# 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.
