Series SAH SMART Air Hood™ Balancing Instrument - PredictAir™ Application Software Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions Bulletin TE-SAH-SW The SERIES SAH SMART Air Hood™ Balancing Instrument is the most accurate and easy to operate air flow hood on the market. By using the included hood stand and wireless communications to the handheld, a single operator can balance a branch in less time than traditional balancing teams. Besides being lighter than most traditional capture hoods, the ergonomic design makes the Series SAH easy to maneuver, with less physical stress. The rugged polypropylene base hood features patented Quad Flow Design Technology for controlling air flow and minimizing back pressure, which yields superior measurement accuracy. The Wi-Fi direct communication gives reliable communication with a distance of up to 200 yards between the hood and the handheld test instrument. The SMART Air Hood™ Balancing Instrument includes the PredictAir™ Application Software which reduces the number of steps in the air flow balancing process using Predictive Balancing’s Express Balance mode. Predictive Balancing is a method of predicting the optimal flow set point for each register and the order in which they should be adjusted. Please see Bulletin TE-SAH for general installation instructions.

Charging cable and block for UHH2 10. 1' x 4' hood with assembly pack The Series SAH SMART Air Hood™is designed to measure air flow from HVAC air ducts and diffusers for balancing. The SAH is lightweight, rugged, and ergonomically designed for easy use and maneuverability. The interface is Wi-Fi direct to the UHH2 handheld and can transmit up to 200 yards (183 m). The unit includes an on/off switch and LEDs to alert when the unit is connected, transmitting, and when the battery is running low in order to avoid recording inaccurate measurements. The SAH SMART Air Hood™ is durable and easily stores in the included travel case. INTRODUCTION Do not use the UHH2/hood unit for liquid or gas mixtures other than air. No responsibility will be taken by Dwyer Instruments, Inc. for any resulting damage to the unit or to the operators if it is used with corrosive or dangerous or explosive gas mixtures. When using the UHH2/hood to check air flow at ceiling diffusers, make certain that you can raise and hold the unit safely during use. This instrument is not classified as flameproof or intrinsically safe; therefore, it must not be used where an explosion hazard may exist. The unit is not authorized for use on life support applications. Note: Observe standard safety procedures when working on ladders and scaffolding. Also, ensure the unit does not become caught in moving machinery or on sharp objects. • If stored under conditions outside normal operating range, allow the unit to stabilize at room conditions before use. • Owing to its size and shape, take care when carrying the assembled unit from place to place. • Avoid people and nearby equipment. • Avoid objects that may damage the capture hood. • Turn the instrument off before storage or transportation and remove the batteries if storing for long periods of time. • Avoid subjecting the capture hood sensing grid to excessive loading during use or assembly. Any air flow other than through the calibrated sensing holes, such as any hair-line cracks, will seriously affect the sensitivity. • A damaged sensing grid must be replaced. It cannot be repaired. • Take care when fitting different sized canvas hoods of the protruding pins at the capture hood. • Do not disassemble the sensing grid from the capture hood. The retaining structure is specifically designed to accommodate loading due to normal operation. • Under low humidity conditions, static electric charges may be encountered. These can be avoided by applying a suitable anti-static solution. Bulletin TE-SAH Series SAH SMART Air Hood™ SPECIFICATIONS VOLUME FLOW Service: Air. Units: CFM, l/s, m3/h. Range: 30 to 2000 CFM.
