The following two instruments should be used in conjunction with the
PANDA unit:
TA465-P Multifunction Instrument
Refer to TA465 Operation and
Service Manual supplied with the
instrument for additional parts
supplied as standard.
PVM620
Micromanometer
Refer to PVM620 Operation and
Service Manual supplied with the
instrument for additional parts
supplied as standard.
IMPORTANT—
Read Before Using the PANDA for the First Time
It is IMPORTANT that the PANDA be connected to the power supply
using a 30 mA residual-current device (RCD) or Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI).
It is IMPORTANT that the 110V PANDA (yellow power socket) be
connected only to 110V to 120V supplies. Connecting it to a higher
voltage supply will permanently damage the inverter.
The 220V/240V PANDA (blue power socket) should only be
connected to 200V to 240V power supplies.
When storing the PANDA in a vertical position, please ensure that the
straps holding the instrument box are in place and tightened first.
The PANDA is designed so that the instrument box and duct carry
tube are removable to lighten the load when lifting.
DANGER
Turn the isolation switch to the OFF position and wait 10 minutes
prior to disconnecting power.

Chapter 2
Preparing PAN300 System for Air Duct Leak
Testing
The following procedure should be followed carefully so that safe and
accurate leakage testing can be achieved:
Successfully completing a duct leakage test requires certain
information be compiled prior to starting the test. Refer to
Appendix B for a discussion of standards relating to duct
leakage testing. The list below indicates the information
required:
• Type of leakage test to be performed (Positive or
negative).
• Leakage standard to be followed.
• Air tightness/leakage class to be achieved
• Amount of ductwork to be tested, such as the complete
system or a statistical sample.
1. Select the section of the ductwork to be tested.
2. Calculate the surface area of the ductwork of the section to
be tested.
3. Temporarily seal the all openings of the ductwork except one,
which will be connected to the PAN300 duct leakage tester.
4. Position the PAN300 unit as close to the remaining opening in the
ductwork as possible to minimize the flexible tubing needed.
Minimize bends in the flexible tubing to reduce the pressure loss,
giving the best performance.
5. Make sure the Fan Control Switch on the Fan Speed Controller is
in the OFF position and the multi-turn Fan Speed Control
potentiometer is fully turned counter-clockwise using the pictures
of the VFD in Figure 1 as a reference. Plug the cord into the
PANDA unit as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. Then connect the
other end of the cord to a suitable electrical supply.
6 Chapter 2
CAUTION
Remove the power cord from the PANDA duct leakage tester
before tilting it to the vertical position to avoid damaging the cord.
