Effortlessly Measure Duct LeakageThe PAN341 Duct Leakage Tester streamlines the process of HVAC duct testing by delivering precise airflow measurements in cubic meters per hour. Its integrated digital controls ensure that both manual and automatic operations are simple, while the built-in memory safeguards test results for later access. The unit's noise level remains unobtrusive during operation, and heavy-duty casters make relocation easy within different testing environments.
Robust Construction and Enhanced MobilityCrafted from mild steel and powder-coated for durability, the PAN341 stands up to rigorous field conditions. Its pedestal and port are built to accommodate a range of specimen sizes, making it a suitable choice for both standard and customizable ductwork. The 2.5-meter power cable and single-phase supply contribute to its versatile setup, and the IP54 enclosure protection guards against dust and splashes.
User-Centric Features and SafetyWith a differential pressure sensor providing rapid response times (1s) and overload protection systems in place, the PAN341 puts both user safety and data integrity at the forefront. Automatic and manual testing modes support varied operational needs, while the digital display, accuracy, and thorough calibration process help ensure all results are both consistent and reliable.
FAQ's of PAN341 Duct Leakage Tester Model:
Q: How do I operate the PAN341 Duct Leakage Tester for accurate results?
A: To operate the PAN341, begin by positioning the tester near your HVAC duct using its heavy-duty caster wheels. Connect the duct to the proper port size ( 100 mm), select your operating mode (manual or automatic) from the integrated control panel, and initiate testing with the start button. The digital display will show real-time data, and results are automatically stored in the built-in memory for review.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using the PAN341 in HVAC duct testing?
A: Key benefits include precise airflow measurements (2% FS), rapid response (1s), easy mobility, and stored test results for traceability. Factory calibration ensures accuracy, while overload protection and low noise operation make it safe and comfortable to use on-site.
Q: When is it necessary to recalibrate the PAN341 tester?
A: The tester comes factory calibrated for immediate operation. Routine recalibration is recommended according to your quality assurance schedule or local standards, especially after extensive use or exposure to extreme conditions, to maintain optimal measurement accuracy.
Q: Where can the PAN341 be deployed for duct leakage testing?
A: The tester is designed for use wherever HVAC ducts are installed-including construction sites, commercial buildings, and residential projects across India. Its portability and IP54-rated enclosure allow it to function indoors and in protected outdoor environments.
Q: What is the process for testing duct leakage with this device?
A: First, connect the HVAC duct specimen to the tester and secure it. Use the control panel to select the required settings, then initiate the test. The orifice plate method measures any leakage as air is pushed through the duct, and results are recorded digitally. After completion, data can be retrieved from the built-in memory for analysis.
Q: How does the built-in memory function benefit users?
A: Built-in memory allows users to store multiple test results directly on the device. This eliminates the need for manual record-keeping, enables efficient reporting, and ensures that test data can be reviewed or transferred for documentation or compliance purposes.
Q: What safety precautions are incorporated in the PAN341 model?
A: The tester features overload protection to prevent electrical issues, operates at a safe noise level (65 dB), and is housed within an IP54 enclosure to protect against dust and splashing water, ensuring operator safety during routine duct leakage testing.
