Setup
The Setup key allows access to the Setup Menu, where the gauge is customized. For
more information about navigating the menu and the options available, see Advanced
DM-2 Options.
Setup is used to enable or disable each of the various modes and devices, to configure
the units of measurement for each mode, and to configure the operation of the DM-2. To navigate
around the setup menu, use the up or down arrows []and [] to scroll through the menu. Use the
left or right arrows [] and [] to choose between the different options. The configuration is saved in
non-volatile memory so the DM-2 will have the same configuration each time it is turned on.
The Setup menu provides access to the following settings:
Full Screen Timeout – specify the time before the screen changes to the full screen format
Restore Settings – used to restore the DM-2 to factory settings
Language – choose a language for the DM-2 menus and results
Battery Type – choose between rechargeable and non-rechargeable (alkaline)
Display Version Info – view the system version information
n – the slope of the line that the DM-2 will use to extrapolate results, when using the @Pressure
function
Power Down Hour – the DM-2 will automatically turn off after the set number of hours
Surface Area Unit – specify the units that will be used for enclosure area
Building Volume Unit – specify the units that will be used for enclosure volume
European , Separator – specify whether to use a comma in place of a period in the numbers
displayed
Sig Figs – Select either 2.5, 3.0, or 3.5 significant figures (e.g. 1134 is displayed as 1135 for 3.5, 1130
for 3.0, and 1150 for 2.5)
Device Setup – enable or disable the use of compatible devices and associated Flow Ranges
Mode Setup – disable or specify the units for available modes
When numerical input is required, the Setup key functions to input the number three.
Baseline
The Baseline function allows the user to measure the bias pressure, or Baseline
pressure, under the current test conditions. Once measured, the DM-2 will
automatically subtract the baseline pressure from all subsequently measured pressure
readings, and will display only the adjusted pressures on the screen. Some buildings
have an initial pressure imbalance between the indoors and outdoors, prior to any testing. The DM-2
averages the background pressure for the duration of the acquisition period. A 60 second baseline
reading is typically enough to establish an accurate baseline measurement. If the building conditions
change during the test, the baseline should be cleared, and a new measurement should be taken.
Remember, if [Exit] is pressed to stop the fan, the baseline measurement will also be cleared, and will
need to be re-taken.
