ABM-HOOD-200 | EasyHood Airflow Capture Balometer Hood with Wireless Airflow Environmental Anemometer

The Fastest and Easiest Way to Measure Airflow 

Air balancing starts with accurate airflow measurement at every register. The CPS®ABM-HOOD-200 Airflow Capture Balometer Hood eliminates the manual calculations that slow down the job: 

• No duct dimensions to enter 
• No AK factors to determine
• No grille traversals

Place the hood, get the reading. It’s that simple.  

Traditional balometer hoods cost 10 times as much, require constant calibration and are too bulky to move efficiently between registers. The ABM-HOOD-200 is compact, rugged and ready to use in seconds. 

What’s Included 

The ABM-HOOD-200 ships as a complete kit: 

• ABM-200 Wireless Airflow Environmental Anemometer  
• Airflow Capture Balometer Hood (12” x 12” control box) 
• Expansion hood for grilles up to 24″ x 24″ 
• Low volume reducer plate (readings down to 7 CFM) 
• Vortex air straightener 
• Padded canvas carrying case 

Accurate Airflow Measurement Powered by the ABM-200 Environmental Anemometer 

The included ABM-200 is a wireless airflow and environmental anemometer that pairs with the CPS Link app on any iOS or Android device. It measures, records, and reports: 

• Airflow volume and velocity 
• Dry bulb and wet bulb temperature 
• Relative humidity and dew point 
• Air density and barometric pressure 

Wireless connectivity lets you capture and record data from your smartphone for hands-free readings. 

*ABM-HOOD-200 balometer hood is also compatible with ABM-100 (sold separately) 

Get Accurate CFM Readings Faster. No Calculations Needed.

Calculating CFM the traditional way requires measuring the register opening, applying an AK factor for damper restriction, and multiplying by velocity. The ABM-HOOD-200 eliminates that process: 

• The sealed hood standardizes the opening and removes the variables 
• Velocity times area is calculated automatically 
• Accurate airflow measurement at every grille, without the math 

The hood handles grilles from 12″ x 12″ with the control box alone. The included Extension Hood, a Patent Pending innovation from CPS, expands coverage to 24″ x 24″ and connects in less than five seconds. 

Why Air Balancing Should Be on Every Tech’s Radar

The ABM EasyHood is best suited for systems with manual dampers that can be adjusted. When duct systems are unbalanced, some rooms receive more conditioned air than others, leading to: 

• Hot and cold spots throughout the home 
• Increased system strain and premature wear 
• Higher utility bills from inefficient air distribution

Measuring CFM at each register gives technicians the data to balance airflow across the system, improve comfort in every room and help customers get full efficiency from their equipment. 

Signs a System Needs Air Balancing

• Persistent hot or cold spots in specific rooms 
• Airflow that seems low even with vents fully open 
• Temperature variations of two degrees or more between areas 
• Heating or cooling costs that have increased without explanation
