• COMETER is a probe attached to the fan bearing 
support on Comefri Forward Curve fans from size 
7 x 7 up to 18 x 18.  The probe is located on the 
outboard side of the housed fan assembly.  The 
probe is piped to the negative (-) port of a factory 
mounted transducer on the fan wall.  The positive 
(+) port is left open to the fan section.  Wiring 
is not provided to the transducer unless factory 
packaged controls were selected.
• PIEZORING (PIEZOMETER) is a tting or se-

disturbances and unpredictable perfor-
