351 European DucTester

rfe — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 11:30:10 +0000

The Model 351 is Europe’s smarter brother to the Model 341. The 351 has twice as many ranges that will measure flows down to 0.6 liters per second but will also go up to 350 liters per second to test houses by adding the optional frame package. Over 30 years of airtightness technology and design expertise have gone into making this the most flexible but also the most reasonably priced DucTester for residential and small commercial duct tests at 80, 160 and 250 Pascals.

Super lightweight, easy operation, great quick guides make this the best choice for testing European ducts. Runs on any voltage from 100 to 280 Volts or for 3 hours on an optional 48 Volt Lithium Ion battery pack that weighs 3 kg.

5101F Classic Fire

rfe — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:30:01 +0000

Definitely the most for the least. You cannot get more Enclosure Integrity value than the 5101F offers. Everything you need and nothing you don’t for entry level testing.

Test for hold times in flooded volumes up to 35,000 cu ft (1000 m³) for Inert agents and 70,000 cu ft (2000 m³) for halocarbon chemical agents.

Testing pressure relief vents will require more power however. This system will test the venting for a volume up to a maximum of 9,000 cu ft (250 m³) for Inert agents although vents up to 6 sq ft (0.6 m²) can be measured individually.

Request literature on all of Retrotec systems to determine the size of enclosures that can be tested with each system.

All Retrotec systems include tech support from Retrotec who originated the idea of Enclosure Integrity testing in 1984. They promoted it within NFPA and in 1986 wrote the first Enclosure Integrity standard. Retrotec has been the lead researcher for enclosure testing ever since. Every major clean agent system manufacturer worldwide relies on Retrotec’s expertise for both hold time and peak pressure predictions.

5121 Hard Panel Pro

rfe — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 16:10:44 +0000

This most professional looking system is quickest to set up with no cloth flapping around. Install and re-pack up in seconds and look good doing it.

One big reason for the popularity of the 5000 series fans is you don’t have to attend a training course to learn how to use it. Just read the Quick Guide, maybe watch the video and in 15 minutes, you’ve performed your first test. Another reason, this performance leader gets 6700 CFM (11,383 m3/h) out of its ¾ hp motor which is more than any competitive unit because if its efficient size and sophisticated on board speed control. Adjust the fan speed manually using the control knob, or the TV-remote style control on the gauge, or Set to Pressure which works like Cruise Control on your car or fully automatically with the free FanTestic PC software package.

5211 Double Classic

rfe — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:56:58 +0000

This complete Blower Door Air Leakage Test system, with two fans that you can run simultaneously, has everything you need to easily test larger or leakier buildings. With a ¾ horsepower motor, the included 2 x Model 5000 Calibrated Fans produce up to 13,400 CFM, making it more than capable of measuring air leakage in both small to medium sized commercial or multi-family buildings.

The two 5000 fans with Large Cloth Panel performs fully automatic testing using the gauge, a laptop and the provided FanTestic software. Alternatively, simply key the desired test pressure into the gauge and read Air Changes or leakage per unit area in real time directly from the touchscreen gauge; a unique Retrotec feature. The gauge also offers an onboard "Set-and-Forget" control of enclosure pressure. All you need to do is choose your desired pressure, and then let the gauge do the rest. As you seal the leaks in your enclosure and the leakage rate decreases, the system automatically and instantly readjusts the fan to keep the enclosure at the correct pressure.

Software provided with the DM32 gauge provides automatic data logging, and remote gauge control from a laptop. With our new 5 year calibration schedule on the DM32, you will have the peace of mind knowing that yearly calibrations are a thing of the past.

5311 Triple Classic

rfe — Tue, 13 Jan 2015 14:20:54 +0000

This System has three Model 5000 Calibrated Fans in one Large Cloth panel door frame system. This is the most economical way to blow large quantities of air to test Commercial, Multi-Family or High Rise buildings.

The 3 included DM32 digital gauges are more advanced than any competitive gauge and ideal when running the 5311 manually or fully automatically using a computer and the optional Multi-FanTestic Software. The DM32 also allows tests when fans are separated by large distances. An available upgrade is the DM32 WiFi, which adds the wireless feature that generally is not needed for large set ups since wired connections are more dependable but works very well when distances are line of sight.

You may also run automatic data logging from multiple fans, and remote gauge control from a laptop. With our new 5 year recommended calibration interval on the DM32, you will have the peace of mind knowing that yearly calibrations are a thing of the past.

Calibrated range configurations allow one fan to test a wide range of enclosures, from super leaky to super tight. This high output fan includes 6 flow ranges to provide accurate results over the widest range of enclosure volumes. All Retrotec fans are made with extremely durable space-age plastic foam, which makes them both lightweight and tough. They are also easily reversible: to switch from pressurizing to depressurizing your enclosure, simply flip the fan around in its panel.

Run only a single Ethernet cable from test area to the laptop to control your test.

6112F Hi-Power Fire

rfe — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:02:45 +0000

To see if dampers really have the vent area they claim to have, they need to be tested and this model does that really well. It not only has lots of flow but can create 100s of Pa to see at what point the Pressure Relief Vents actually open. Then it will test the vent path to ensure the peak pressure evaluation complies with the standard. Sufficient power also to test larger enclosures and an ideal place to start since it can be easily upgraded to the full feature 3212F when you want to measure the lower leak which often is the only way to pass many enclosures.

Test for hold times in flooded volumes up to 51,000 cu ft (1000 m3) for Inert agents and 70,000 cu ft (2000 m3) for halocarbon chemical agents.

Testing pressure relief vents will require more power however. This system will test the venting for a volume up to a maximum of 12,000 cu ft (330 m3) for Inert agents although vents up to 8 sq ft (0.8 m2) can be measured individually.

Request literature on all of Retrotec systems to determine the size of enclosures that can be tested with each system.
