Bulletin TE-SAH-IOS Series SAH SMART Air Hood
The SMART AIR HOOD® (SAH) Balancing Instrument is the most accurate and easy
to operate air flow hood on the market today. The low profile design allows
balancers to work in occupied spaces (bathroom stalls, MRI machines, cubicles,
tables/chairs, etc.) and maneuver through doorways easier. By using the
included 12 foot hood pole and wireless communications to a mobile device, one
operator can balance a branch in less time than traditional balancing teams.
Besides being lighter than most traditional capture hoods, the ergonomic
design makes the technician exude less energy as the SAH has a lighter,
balanced design. The rugged polypropylene base hood features Quad Flow Design
Technology for controlling air flow and minimizing back pressure, which yields
superior measurement accuracy. The Wi-Fi protocol back to the user’s Android ®
or iOS device gives the user real-time feedback, as they may be up to 200
yards (183 m) from the hood which saves the technician from unnecessarily
going up and down their ladder multiple times to cut or open the dampers to
balance the system.
The SMART AIR HOOD® Application Software reduces the number of steps in the
air flow balancing process using Predictive Balancing. Predictive Balancing is
a method of predicting the optimal flow set point for each register and the
order in which they should be adjusted.
