- Page 8 The following two instruments should be used in conjunction with the PANDA unit: 9565-P Multi-function Refer to 9565 Operation and Service Instrument Manual supplied with the instrument for additional parts supplied as standard. 5815 Micromanometer Refer to 5815 Operation and Service Manual supplied with the instrument for additional parts supplied as standard.
- Page 9 IMPORTANT— Read Before Using the PANDA for the First Time It is IMPORTANT that the 110V PANDA (yellow power socket) be connected only to 110V to 120V supplies. Connecting it to a higher voltage supply will permanently damage the inverter. The 220V/240V PANDA (blue power socket) should only be connected to 200V to 240V power supplies.

Page 25: Appendix B Leakage Testing Standards Highlights
Appendix B Leakage Testing Standards Highlights Different standards are used throughout the world to specify duct air tightness and leakage requirements. The PAN231 duct leakage test system has a duct leakage application to automatically compare the actual leakage flow with the maximum allowed leakage flow for EN and SMACNA standards. -
Page 26: Eu Standards
The scope of the standards listed above includes many items other than duct leakage. This summary; however, is limited to duct leakage testing. EU Standards Ductwork classification and maximum air leakage. Note that EN1507, EN12237 Eurovent 2/2 and DW/143 all have the same formula to determine f , the Air Leakage Limit, although DW/143 uses units of l/s/m... - Page 27 Eurovent 2/2 Air Tightness For Installed Duct Testing Air Tightness Air leakage limit (f Class DW/143: A Practical Guide to Ductwork Leakage Testing Static Pressure Maximum Duct Limit Air leakage Pressure Positive Negative Velocity limits Class l/s/m 0.65 Low-pressure 0.027*p –...
