1. Introduction
SwemaMan 7 is a micro manometer for differential pressure, air ow
and air velocity. Differential pressure is measured in Pa, airow in l/s,
m3/h or CFM and air velocity in m/s or fpm. It’s possible to set baro-
metric pressure and temperature to compensate for correct air density.
Measure airow either with k-factor or with area in duct. The area is
entered into the instrument directly, as diameter or as height x width.
SwemaMan 7 can calculate minimum, maximum and average value.
Saved measurements are easily transferred to a PC.
SwemaMan 7 has display light, usb connector and are delivered with
two easily replaceable AA batteries.

/h & Pa (cfm & Pa if US-unit is selected)
• hPa & °C (inHg & °F if US-unit is selected)
Measurement: When in measuring mode press
Enter to store a value in the volatile memory.
The number of measuring points stored in the
volatile memory is shown on the display directly
under the measured values, ”2P” (see picture to
the right) means the two measuring points has
been stored. When Enter is pressed an average
of the measuring points is shown for a short
while before the measured values is shown in
real time again.
Average, Max & Min: To check the average, max or min value of
the stored measurement points press Key Left (Average), Key Up
(Max) or Key Down (Min), as long as the button is hold down the
corresponding value will be shown on the display.
Save a measurement: After a measuring point has been stored it’s
possible to save the measurement into SwemaMan 7:s Notebook by
pressing Save. The display will show which note number the meas-
urement is saved as (example n3 = note 3). To instead erase the
measurement from the volatile memory press Clear.
Differential Pressure (Pa): Press Unit until
SwemaMan 7 shows the unit Pa. A measurement
with average, max and min and also saving of
the measurement is possible. If pressure is big-
ger than 10.000 Pa or lower than -1000 Pa (out
of range) the digit will ash.
Air Velocity (m/s & Pa): It’s possible to meas-
ure air velocity with SwemaMan 7 by connecting
a pito static tube. Press UNIT until SwemaMan
7 shows the units m/s and Pa. A measurement
with average, max and min and also saving of
the measurement is possible. Air velocity lower
than 0.7 m/s will be shown as zero.

Air velocity is calculated according to the formula:
∆P = dynamic pressure (= total pressure - static pressure (Pa))
ρ = density of air =
B = barometric pressure (can be set to a value manually. If set to
standard 1013 hPa is used)
t = air temperature (can be set to a value manually. If set to
standard 20ºC is used)
Air Flow (l/s & Pa or m
3
/h & Pa): It’s possible with SwemaMan 7
to do a couple of different air ow measurements. The air ow meas-
urements possible are:
• Measurement in circular duct (set Diameter)
• Measurement in rectangular duct (set Height x Width)
• Measurement in duct (set Area)
• Flow factor measurement
• K-factor measurement
If SwemaMan 7 is set to air velocity measurement press Unit and air
ow measurement in l/s will be displayed, press Unit once more for

The kind of air ow meas-
urement that will be dis-
played is what SwemaMan
7 was set to measure last
time (k-factor measure-
ment is set as standard).
See chapter ”5. Mode” for
more information about the
different air ow measure-
ments and how to change
settings.

Barometric pressure & Temperature (hPa &
°C): Press Unit until hPa & °C is displayed. The
barometric pressure and temperature shown on
the display will be the values SwemaMan 7 uses
to compensate for the density of air (air density
compensation is used at air velocity and air ow
measurements).
As standard SwemaMan 7 will be set to use a
barometric pressure and temperature set to
1013hPa and 20°C.
When a measurement is using air density com-
pensating SwemaMan 7 show this with the text
”Std” or with a ”*” in the top left corner of the
display.
Std = Standard density (1013 hPa & 20°C)
*= Both barometric pressure and temperature set manually
See chapter ”6. Settings (Set)” for more information how to change
between Std and *.

SI-unit: Pa, m/s, l/s, m
3
/h, hPa & °C
US-unit: Pa, fpm, cfm, inHg & °F
Density: Set how SwemaMan 7 should calculate and compensate air
density depending on barometric pressure and air temperature (air
density is used at air velocity and air ow measurements). The differ-
ent settings possible:
Std: Barometric pressure is set to 1013hPa & temperature is set to
20°C
*: Barometric pressure and temperature can both be set manually
(as default they are set to 1013hPa and 20°C).
Duration: Set how long the averaging of the displayed values should
be. Possible settings are 0.5, 1, 2, & 10 seconds. Higher averaging
time will give a slower change of the displayed measured values. As
default the averaging time is set to 2 seconds.
k
2
-factor (K
2
): Turn the k
2
-factor On or Off. If the k
2
-factor is turned
”On” SwemaMan 7 reduces the area of the duct depending on the duct
dimensions when calculating the air ow. Calculation of air ow:
k
2
-factor Off: q = area x air velocity
k
2
-factor On: q = k
2
x area x air velocity
Below is the k
2
-factor values SwemaMan 7 uses:
Circular ducts:
Ø ≤ 160 mm » k2 = 0.89
160 < Ø ≤ 400 mm » k2 = 0.95
400 < Ø ≤ 1250 mm » k2 = 0.98
