SOUND PERFORMANCE

The sound power level ratings shown are in decibels, calculated per AMCA International Standard 301. The A-weighted sound ratings shown have been calculated per AMCA International Standard 301. Values shown are for inlet LWI and inlet LWIA sound power levels for installation Type B: free inlet, ducted outlet. Ratings include the effects of duct end correction. A-weighted sound pressure levels (dBA), are based on an 11.5 dB attenuation per octave band at 5 feet from the fan in a hemispherical field, and are not certified by AMCA.
