  • Page 23: Inadequate Or Reduced Airflow From The Tre

    FACTORY ASSISTANCE TRe-Series 7.4 INADEQUATE OR REDUCED AIRFLOW FROM THE TRe If the unit has power and both fans are running, use a manometer to check the pressure differential across the core. See Section 4.5 Balancing Airflows in this manual. The results of a pressure differential test will provide correct information on how much air the unit is moving and also how the volume of air compares to when the unit was first installed.
