We would suggest to set the free area
dimension before you start measuring
the air velocity so after you measure the
air velocity, you can jump to the air flow
mode to view the cubic feet per minute
without further changing the free area
dimension.
meter, position the fan and then press the
MODE key twice, you will be into the air
flow(CFM) mode and the air flow(CFM)
displayed is equal to the current air
velocity reading (FPM x FREE AREA =
CFM) times the 1.111 square feet.
