The on the fly display of Retrotec�s new DM-2 dual channel digital gauge puts the operator in command of virtually every parameter of interest to the door-fan tester. The DM-2 represents a huge advance in building and envelope diagnostic instrumentation.

Supported Units of Measurement

Channel A: Pressure in Pascals, inches H2O, lb/ft2
Channel B: Pressure in Pascals, inches H2O, lb/ft2 Flow in cfm, l/s, m3/s, m3/h Flow @ (any pressure) calculates flow at ANY desired pressure configured in Setup menu Leakage Area - EqLA (Canadian) and/or EfLA (US) in cm2, in2, ft2 Leakage Area @ (any pressure) calculates ELA at ANY desired pressure configured in Setup menu Air-changes per hour according to volume entered on keypad Velocity in m/s, km/h, ft/s, ft/min, mph Velocity-Flow in cfm, l/s, m3/s, m3/h according to cross-sectional area entered on keypad

DM-2 Functionality (available with DM-2 and DM-2A)

Range/Config: Cycles through flow ranges of the blower door or duct tester being used.
Setup: permits changing default units, displayed outputs, devices and reference pressures
Baseline: Measures and removes background pressures on Channel A for subsequent testing.
Time Avg: Advanced box-car averaging displays continuous updates of the average pressure. No more waiting for your next average pressure measurement! Dramatically reduces the affect of wind and other pressure fluctuations.
Auto Zero: On start up and every 8 seconds on both channels. May be turned off.
Device: Selects the flow characteristics of virtually any blower door, Duc-tester or a pilot tube. @: Turns on/off extrapolation to configured pressures
Volume/Area: Enter volume and/or area values to calculate air-change and flow/unit area results.
Compatibility: Compatible with all Retrotec, Minneapolis and Infiltec blower doors.

DM-2A Exclusive Functionality

Set Speed: Allows direct control of Fan speed from the DM-2 � no need to handheld speed control.
Set Flow: Closed-loop PID control of Fan Flow Pressure � great for windy conditions.
Set Pressure: Permits �set and forget� control of your fan. Dial in �Set 50Pa� and the fan will ramp up and hold 50Pa giving on the fly flow, ACH or leakage measurements. As you identify and seal leaks, the fan will automatically adjust itself for the tighter enclosure.

The USB Uplink allows the DM-2 Series Gauge to be connected to a computer for Data Acquisition, Automatic Control or remote data monitoring. Ask us about our software development kit for Excel or Visual Basic.

Simultaneous Pressure and Flow Displayed on the fly or extrapolated to your desired text pressure. No need to achieve an exact speed to get perfect results.

Air-changes without a laptop! Input the volume of your building and adjust the fan to your desired test pressure. Can't reach your test pressure? No problem! Use @-Pressure to extrapolate to 50Pa, 25Pa, or any other pressure.

Advanced Calculation of Normalized Airflow and Leakage Areas Permeability and Specific Leakage Rates (as per EN13829 and TM23) can also be displayed in real time, by simply entering either the floor or envelope areas.
