As mentioned above, three measurements are necessary for %
Outside Air calculations - Outside Air, Supply Air, and Return Air.
The measurements may be taken in any order. The calculation is
performed once the final measurement is taken.
The Q-Trak™ XP instrument is intended for indoor use only. Care
should be taken when taking % of Outdoor Air measurements so
that the instrument is not exposed to rain, sleet, hail, snow or other
inclement weather conditions as exposure to these elements will
void the factory warranty.
