The 476 page manual is the most comprehensive and versatile publication
available of its kind, designed specifically for the testing, adjusting and balancing
(TAB) technician.
Its 18 chapters cover:
• HVAC Fundamentals

• Electrical Systems
• Motors and Drives
• HVAC Control Systems
• TAB Instruments and Use
• TAB Measurements
• Preliminary TAB Procedures

The manual meets a requirement expressed by TAB contractors for a practical,
field-use manual that they and their TAB supervisors can use to train their balancing
crews. It also can serve as a reference manual for the individual crew
members on-site when the work is being performed.
Contents are arranged to permit selective use, with ready access to sections
outlining specific balancing procedures. One entire chapter is a practical review
of fundamental mathematics and equations used in TAB work. An extensive
glossary of terms and conversion factors provides a convenient source of detailed
information for field technicians. These and other selective features also
make the manual particularly well suited for classroom instruction or in-house
personnel training.
One of the manual's unique characteristics is its rugged design. It has a durable
polyethylene cover and spiral metal binding to help withstand the rigors of
on-site conditions and make it a practical item of equipment for service trucks.
The reasonable cost of this publication allows TAB contractors the opportunity
to provide it as a new "tool" to every technician.
