Calibration

1. Ensure the flow switch and alarm circuit board are installed and

operational.

2. Allow the enclosure to operate for at least two minutes.

3. If factory installed, the monitor will alarm at 60±10 fpm with the inflow

velocity set at 90±10 fpm.

4. To change the factory setting, set the inflow velocity required by your

Safety Officer to the desired alarm condition using the speed control
adjustment procedure outlined in Chapter 6.

5. Once the alarm condition is set, use a small screwdriver to turn the

adjustment screw on the airflow switch counterclockwise (facing the
screw) until the “low” airflow red LED lights and the audible flow alarm
sounds.

6. Adjust the inflow velocity to the nominal operating point required by your

Safety Officer.

7. Over time the HEPA filter will load and eventually slow the inflow

velocity. Once the alarm condition is met, simply increase the speed
control outlined in Chapter 6 or replace the HEPA filter if the speed control
is maximized.

8. The table below lists typical alarm conditions based on normal operating

conditions. Typical alarm conditions are set at face velocities of 10 to 30
feet per minute below the normal operating conditions due to supply air
and exhaust air fluctuations, as well as room air cross drafts. Consult your
Safety Officer for proper operating speeds.
