1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing a quality instrument from Swema.

SwemaFlow 4000 measures airow directly in l/s, m3/h or cfm

(when set to US units). The instrument is turned on and off with the
red button next to the display. When the instrument is turned on the
display shows rst the rmware version then the voltage of the bat­tery. After a few seconds the instrument is ready for measurement.
The instrument is automatically turned off after ten minutes.

The measuring equipment includes:

• Flow capture instrument with case

• Flow hood 650x650mm with case

• Charger

• USB-cable

• Operating instructions

• Calibration certicate

Accessories:
Flow hood 250 x 1200 mm, h = 800 mm (Part.nr 764420)
Cross for Swirl diffusers (Part.nr 769630)

3. Function

The current ow is presented on the display two times per second.

SwemaFlow 4000 compensates automatically for the air density by
measuring air temperature and barometric pressure.

On/Off (RED button)

Turn on the instrument by pressing the RED button (next to dis-

play). The display will go trough a sequence showing rmware ver­sion, battery status, ”Stnd” if set to display mass equivalent ow

for standard air density and lastly SwemaFlow 4000 enters regular

measuring mode and displays current ow. Turn the instrument off

by pressing the RED button. Toggle the display light by pressing the
RED button while the BLUE button is held down.

Unit (BLUE button)

By pressing the BLUE button the display toggles between l/s, m³/h,

air temperature (°C) and barometric pressure (hPa). When set to US

units it toggles between cfm, air temperature (°F) and barometric

pressure (inHg).

Mode (GREY button)

Toggle between Regular mode, Flow Factor mode and stored values

(notE) with Grey button.

Standard Measurement

Place the hood with the sealing list making a proper seal around the

valve. Read the air ow value from the display.

HOLD Function (Button on HANDLE)

If the button on the HANDLE is pressed down shortly the display will

freeze the measured value. ”Hold” is shown in the upper left corner

of the display. Press the BLUE button to toggle between the free-

zed values (freezed air ow, temperature and barometric pressure).

Realese frozen values by pressing down the HANDLE button for less
than 2 s.

Save Measurement (Button on HANDLE held down)

If a measurement is freezed it can be saved by holding down the
button on the HANDLE for 2 sec. The display will show which note
number the measurment is saved as and then return to measuring
mode.

Flow Factor Measurement (F-mode)

In Flow Factor mode the ow is multiplied with a ow factor (ow
factor 1.00 will not alter the ow). A ow factor can for example be

used to compensate for a leakage. Warning: Changing to anything

else than 1.00 will alter the reading from the calibration certicate.
The display will show the text ”Factor” when the instrument is in F-

mode. If in regular measuring mode and the GREY button is press-

sed the display will show F1.00 or the ow factor value the instru­ment is set to. For example F1.10 will multiply measured ow with

1.10 and display the result.

Make a Measurement with a Flow Factor

To measure with the ow factor displayed next to F press button on

HANDLE. To change F-value instead hold down the HANDLE button

for minimum 2 sec when F1.00 is shown. The rst digit will start
ashing, change value by pressing GREY or BLUE button. When cor­rect value is choosen conrm by press shortly the button on the
HANDLE and the second digit will start ashing, repeat the same

procedure with the second and third digit. After the third digit is
conrmed the instrument will start measuring in F-mode. Measure­ment can be stored in the same way as in regular measuring mode.
To return to regular measuring mode press GREY button 3 times

(rst press will show FX.XX, second will show notE and the third will

take you to regular mode).
