  • Page 15: Appendix C - Airflow Volume Calculations

    APPENDIX C – AIRFLOW VOLUME CALCULATIONS To calculate cubic feet per minute (CFM) from a measured air velocity (FPM), you need the calculated cross-sectional area of the air flow stream: Volume Flow (CFM) = Velocity (FPM) X Area (sq ft). In a rectangular duct this cross sectional area equals the Width times the Height.
  • Page 16: Appendix D - Analog Outputs (If Equipped)

    APPENDIX D – ANALOG OUTPUTS (IF EQUIPPED) If the instrument is equipped with the analog output option, there will be a five- pin connector on the bottom of the instrument. Also, an analog output cable will be included with the instrument. This cable will have a five-pin connector on one end and four tinned wires on the other end.
