For vacuum cleaner motor/fan systems with dualnameplate voltage ratings, conduct testing at the highest voltage.8.2 For each subsequent test run, allow
44、 the unit to reach its normal operating temperature by allowing the vacuum cleanermotor/fan system to operate at the open orifice for 1 to 2 min between test runs.8.3 While operating the vacuum cleaner motor/fan system per 8.2, insert orifice plates sequentially into the orifice plate holderof the p
45、lenum chamber starting with the largest size orifice and following it with the next smaller orifice plate. Use the followingorifice plates: 2.0, 1.5, 1.25, 1.0 0.875, 0.75, 0.625, 0.5, 0.375, 0.25 and 0.0 in. (50.8, 38.1, 31.7, 25.4, 22.2, 19.0, 15.8, 12.7, 9.5,6.3 mm). The following optional orific
