PH731 ProHood Capture Hood Stand—Model: CH-STAND
The capture hood stand is designed to work with the PH731
ProHood and can reach ceiling diffusers and grilles up to 15 ft (with
the hood attached). The PH731 ProHood is secured onto a quad
bracket, and two extension pole sections can be raised to the
desired height to make a tight seal against the outlet and locked in
place. It is ideally suited to work with the LogDat Mobile Android
Smart App but can be used without the app.
To use without LogDat Mobile, simply detach the meter from the
base and connect the two 8’ sections of tubing (included with the
PH731) directly to the base manifold and micromanometer
pressure ports.
