cfm = 52 ug/l. For the 3' at 90 fpm or 200 cfm, one nozzle @
10 psig is 34 ug/l. For the 4' at 90 fpm or 265 cfm, one nozzle
at 10 psig is 26 ug/l.

then display a numerical value.
4. Using the “^” or “
ν
” keypads, respectively, increase or
decrease the numerical value until it equals 52 (2'), 34 (3'). 26
(4') for the enclosure at 90 fpm inflow velocity.
