The meter is now ready to measure air flow(CFM). K. TO OBTAIN AIR FLOW (CFM) AVERAGE FOR MULTIPOINTS (model 8906 only) Simply complete steps 1~4 in D. Once all the multi-point average is determined: 1. Press MODE button once and confirm correct free area setting is locked into instrument.
meter, position the fan and then press the MODE key twice, you will be into the air flow(CFM) mode and the air flow(CFM) displayed is equal to the current air velocity reading (FPM x FREE AREA = CFM) times the 1.111 square feet. We would suggest to set the free area dimension before you start measuring the air velocity so after you measure the...
