to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modications not expressly approved by Sauermann could voice the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Use with a pitot tube
The Pitot tube is introduced perpendicularly to the air ow in the pipe by pre-
determined points by the user.
The antenna composed of an ellipsoidal nose (bow) maintained in parallel and in front
of the ow to control.
The Tp total pressure (+) is picked up by the bow and is connected to the + sign of the
manometer.
The Sp static pressure (-) picked up by the small holes located around the antenna is
connected to the – sign of the manometer.
The difference between these two pressures is the pressure indicated on the Si-HVACR
Measurement MobileApp and is equal to the dynamic pressure Dp = Tp-Sp.
