Introduction

measures air velocity in five units of measure: feet per minute (ft/min), meters per sec

-ond (m/sec), miles per hour (MPH), kilometers per hour (km/hr),

& nautical

miles

per

hour

(knots)&CFM(ft /min). An internal sensor allows

or Fahrenheit units.

This meter is

Operation

Meter Power

1.

Press the POWER button to turn the meter on. If the display does not switch on, check

that a fresh 9V battery is installed.

2.

Press the POWER button to turn the meter off.

The meter is equipped with an AUTO POWER OFF feature. The meter automatically

Measuring Air Velocity and Temperature

1.

Place the sensor in the air stream under test.

2.

Read the Air Velocity and Temperature measurements directly on the LCD.

3.

To calculate Air Volume in CFM (cubic feet per minute) or CMM (cubic meters per

minute) refer to the ‘Useful Equations and Conversions’ section.

Selecting the Temperature unit of measure (

o

C/

o

F)

Press and hold the UNITS key for 3 seconds to select the temperature unit of measure.

The meter will beep twice and the display will indicate the currently selected unit of

measure.

Selecting the Air Velocity unit of measure

Press the UNITS key to change the unit of measure for Air Velocity measurements. The

display will reflect the current selection. A list of measurement units is printed in the

specifications later in this manual.

Record and Recall MAX / Min Function

1. To begin capturing the Maximum (MAX) and Minimum (MIN) air velocity and

temperature readings, press the MAX/MIN key and the ‘RECORD’ icon will appear in

the display.

2. Now, use the MAX/MIN key to toggle the view from MIN to MAX to RECORD. The

‘MAX’ or ‘MIN’ will appear along with the recalled reading for convenience. In RECORD

mode, the meter will display the current reading but will continue to capture MAX and

MIN readings.

3.

To return to normal operation, press and hold the MAX/MIN key for 3 seconds to clear

and stop MAX/MIN recording. The meter will beep twice and the ‘MAX’/‘MIN’ and

‘RECORD’ icons will switch off.

Area Set for CFM

-Turn off the meter

-Press the HOLD key and hold

-While holding the HOLD key turn on the meter.It will now be in area set mode

“set area” will display.The area range can be set from 0 to 999.9ft

-Press the MAX/MIN key to shift the radix point(decimal point).

-Press the HOLD key to shift between flashing digits

-Press the UNITS key to change the value of the flashing digit

-After setting the area for CFM(inputting the square footage of the duct0,the

operator must turn the meter off,then turn the meter on again.At this point,

the meter will be set to read CFM for the desired area.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the battery power falls low, the low battery icon

will appear on the LCD. Replace

the 9V battery by removing the Phillips screw on the battery compartment door and

accessing the battery compartment.

Ensure that the compartment cover is securely

fastened when finished.

Cleaning and Storage

Wipe the meter and vane with a damp cloth as needed. Do not apply abrasive, solvents, or

other cleaners to the surface of the meter or vane. Store with the battery removed and

avoid extreme temperature and humidity.
