EXT / INT button. In addition Swema 3000 will calculate and help you work correctly when using any of the modes included in the Swema 3000. By pressing Enter the measurement mode will start.
RS232-cable for Com-port. (Part.no. 759.030) The PC-program SwemaMultipoint (Part.no. 763.710) The Swema Multipoint can be used to log data of the two variables showed on the LCD of the Swema 3000. Swema MultiPoint can monitor and log up to 8 Swema 3000 and present it in a live graph.
Auto Zero ON with SWA 10 or Swema 3000md SWA 10 and Swema 3000md has an inbuilt zero valve. Auto Zero is set to ON by default. By the built in valve the zero pressure point is automatically checked every time you take a measurement by pressing ”ENTER”.

Possible measuring modes: AP, AS and LOG. Radio/BlueTooth modem for balancing of ventilation SwemaTwin transfers measured values on the reference valve from one Swema 3000 to another through radio/BlueTooth modem or 40 meter cable. The flow relation between them is displayed, which makes adjustment according to the proportional method an easy task for just one person.
Insert k- factor, and the Swema 3000 calculates the air flow according to the formula: q = k sqrt(∆P). The specific k-factor is supplied by the manufacturer of (exhaust and supply) ventilation valves.
Measuring with APF (Average Point air Flow) Possible probes are: SWA 31, SWA 31E or SWA 07 or SWA 10 with pito static pipe or Swema 3000md. Use the APF mode for measuring the flow in ducts. Swema 3000 calculates the flow in l/s or m /h by multiplying the air velocity with the duct area.
= 0,92 (SWA 31), 0,89 (Pito Static Pipe) 160 < D ≤ 400 mm → k = 0,96 (SWA31), 0,95 (Pito Static Pipe) 400 < D ≤ 1250 mm → k = 0,98 Swema AB Pepparvägen 27 SE-123 56 FARSTA Tel: +46 8 94 00 90 Fax: +46 8 93 44 93 swema@swema.se...

The instrument also give a short signal and dis- plays the memory place for a few seconds. See Note Book. Please Note! If Swema 3000 with an inbuilt barometer and thermoelement is used. The displayed Avg, Max and Min va- lues are then calculated by the barometric pressure and tem- perature value at the different measuring points.
Measuring with DPF (Differential Pressure air Flow) Possible probes with DPF are: SWA 07 or SWA 10 and Swema 3000md. See Differential pressure in the section The different probes for Swema 3000. The flow in the measurement of pressure drop across valves is directly obtained in l/s or m q = k sqrt (∆P)
Page 14
Use the calculation for k: k= 50/10 → 5,0 So the k factor in this case was 5,0. Set this in Swema 3000 to obtain the flow in l/s, m3/h or CFM. If the diagram does not extend to 100 Pa, select for...
(time constant + selected mea- suring time). Connect the flow capture hood and press ON. After a few seconds Swema 3000 is in measuring position. Choose mode by pressing the MENU1-KEY and move the marker to ”Mode” with the up/down arrow key. Press ENTER or SET and choose mode with the up/down arrow key.
This can be corrected by using the Back Pressure mode. By measuring two times with SwemaFlow 125, with and without an extra throttle ring. Swema 3000 calculates the flow that reflects the true flow, with no capture interference. In the same way as AF mode the BP mode makes an average measure- ment over time.

The display will also show point 1 & 2. Max is without the ring and Min is with the ring. Then you can choose if you want to clear or save your measurement. Swema AB Pepparvägen 27 SE-123 56 FARSTA ...
Confirm your choice with ENTER or EXIT. values and number of measurements. For Relative humidity Set the parameters and press EXIT to start probes Swema 3000 displays the dew point and mixing ratio measuring. (g water / kg dry air) When all values are collected you can choose if you want to clear or save your measurement.
Sampling Rate is the time Swema 3000 uses to sample measured values, make an avarage and display the value. Swema 3000 uses a floating mean value, i.e. for example if a ”Sampling rate” of 30s is used, Swema 3000 sample a value 2 times/second during 30 seconds (60 values) and shows an avarage value of them.
Measuring with ASF (Auto Sampling Flow) Possible probes with ASF are: SWA 31 or SWA 31E. Same as AS, but the Swema 3000 calculates the flow in l/s or /h. In ASF mode the area is not reduced by a k -factor.

Start and stop measuring with the ENTER-button. Swema 3000 will collect values and calculate the average air flow and temperature. It will also calculate standard deviation, num- ber of measuring points and maximum and minimum air flow. When all values are collected you can choose if you want to clear or save your measurement.
When all parameters are set press the EXIT-button to get back to measuring mode. Start the draught measurement with the ENTER-button. Swe- ma 3000 will take measurments during the selected measuring time and will automatically save to the first free memory place The measurment is automatically saved in in the note book.

When all parameters are set press the EXIT-button to get back to measuring mode. Start and stop the log with the ENTER-button. Swema 3000 open a new ”File” and log series and save them to the first free memory place in the log book in the new ”File”. The instrument also give a short signal and display the memory place for a few seconds.

Press the ENTER button and Swema 3000md will regulate it selves and save the measured values at the different pres- sures going down or up to 0 Pa. The pressure steps Swema Saved measuring protocol of a leakage 3000md do on the way to 0 Pa, is set in Menu1 under ”Pres- test on a room or building.
To control the leakage tester automatically a Swema 3000md and a SWA 10 or SWA 07 are needed. The built in differential pressure sensor in Swema 3000md is used to measure the over / under pressure in the duct, connect the pressure hose on positive pressure connector (marked with +).
