DM-2 Series 2 Channel Digital Pressure Gauge

Retrotec’s DM-2, dual channel, digital manometer puts the operator in command of virtually every parameter of interest to the blower door tester. The DM-2 represents a huge advance in building and envelope diagnostic instrumentation.
The DM-2 is capable of measuring pressure on two channels, calculating air flow, equivalent leakage area (EQLA), and air-changes per hour (ACH). The DM-2 can also present the results in a number of different units which meet the professional standards of many different countries.

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
  • 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

    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.


    DM-2A Extended Functionality

    Set Speed: Allows direct control of Fan speed from the DM-2 - no need to handheld speed control.
    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.
