Figure 5: Fan Pressure sensors are located in the fan inlet.
The 4 Flow sensors are located just inside the fan inlet, behind the protective grill. Together, they
measure the Fan Pressure, from which the fan airflow is calculated in the gauge. If the sensors become
blocked, it is possible to clear them by attaching a pressure tube to the yellow Ref B port, and blowing
air through the tube gently.
The exterior of the inlet has the 4 self-referencing pressure pickups. They are connected to the green
Input B port, and are used as the reference for the Flow (Fan Pressure) Sensors. Self-referencing
ensures that the measured pressure difference is always accurate, no matter what the direction of flow
is with respect to the location of the gauge and operator and whether or not a flex duct is attached to
the inlet of the fan or not.
Figure 6: Self-referencing pressure pickup connect to the green port and must never be taped over.
