PROBLEM SOLUTION
CPS Link App
1. CPS Link App Crashes
Ensure mobile device is Bluetooth compat-
ible. And, Bluetooth setting is ON in mobile
device
Turn-off and restart mobile device in case of
other conicting apps running

to wireless device
Ensure wireless device is CPS brand only
Download CPS Link app from Apple App
Store or Google Play then pair mobile device
to CPS wireless meter
Mobile device must be ≤ 100 Ft (30m) from
CPS wireless device, range is reduced by
interior obstructions
3. App screen freezes
Exit CPS Link app and restart ABM-200
meter. Then reopen app and pair to wireless
device
4. Inconsistent air velocity
or air volume readings
Ensure ABM-100 or ABM-200 fan blades
are ALWAYS PERPENDICULAR to airow
direction during each test
Airow from same size but different air vents
will likely differ (before being balanced)
Fan or blower motor air volume varies based
on uctuations in power, fan curve, duct
pressure and building envelope conditions. A
door opening in another part of the building,
wind or stack effect can change the reading
5. App won't calculate
values Exit app and restart meter
