Q: Can I depressurize my duct system for IECCode compliance?
A:
The IECCode allows for either pressurization or depressurization of the duct system. Confirm with your local jurisdiction if they have any amendments stating otherwise.
We highly recommend that you depressurize when testing the duct system. This provides the most accurate test of how tight the duct system is. Pressurization can cause leaks in the duct mask that is sealing the registers and grills. Depressurizing will pull the duct mask, and any other device used to seal the ducts, tight up against the drywall.
When depressurizing with the Retrotec DucTesters (340 or DU200 systems) there is nothing to add or tubing to change in the setup. Simply turn the DucTester around and test in either direction. Remember when performing a depressurization test, the rings or plugs are inside the flex duct. Pressurizing the duct system can be valuable when searching for leaks. Seal the leaks, then turn the DucTester around and depressurize the system. Want to learn more refer to section 6.9 of the DucTester manual

What are the code requirements in your jurisdiction? Keeping track of local codes is an ongoing challenge, please help us update our database by emailing us at [email protected] and provide...
- What version of the code? (example 2009)
- What tests are required and what are the compliance requirements?
- Who can perform the test?
- Is it enforced?

Q: Will the DM32 smart gauge control my Duct Blaster
®?
A: It not only controls it, but will provide you with the code compliance results mentioned above. The Energy Conservatory speed control must have a 1/8th inch input jack on the side for the Retrotec speed control adapter to function properly.
for more information refer to the Speed Control Adapter (for TEC fans) manual.

rCloud smart device testing and secure data storage
|
Retrotec created the first WiFi touchscreen smart gauge, the DM32. We're now unleashing an app as powerful and easy to use as the DM32.
Setup your equipment. Open rCloud on your smartphone or tablet, enter the address and type of test. Then select a compliance method (IECC, RESNET or CA Title 24 or ...) - then let rCloud do the rest.
rCloud will GEO-tag your test location, get the local weather conditions, search Zillow for existing building data and more...
rCloud connects to your DM32 smart gauge and performs the entire test automatically!
Accept the results or run the test again. Immediately share the saved compliance report that is stored securely in the cloud. The compliance report can be viewed from anywhere.
