Setting Airflow
With all ductwork connected and a clean filter in place, measure the
External Static Pressure (ESP) of the unit in locations below. Use the
appropriate airflow table for the furnace and outdoor unit installed.
Note: Airflow tables are located in the Service Facts literature.
Measurements must be made prior to the evaporator coil, if equipped,
and after the filter.
