The Defender 510 measures volumetric gas ﬂow with an accu-

racy of +/- 1% of reading. The Defender 520 measures volumetric

gas ﬂow with an accuracy of +/- 1% of reading and measures

gas ﬂow temperature and pressure. Both instruments use our

proven DryCal®technology to measure volumetric gas ﬂow and

are produced in our accredited laboratory in Butler, N.J.

2.7 Measurements

Taking gas ﬂow readings

To maintain the best possible accuracy and minimize thermal

effects, Bios recommends fully charging your battery before

taking measurements. If this is not possible, we recommend

disconnecting your Defender from its AC power adapter/charger

while taking ﬂow measurements — or to run gas through your

Defender for 10 minutes before starting the ﬂow measurement.

2.8 Single Measurement

Each time the ‘Enter’ button is pressed, one measurement will

bemade.Wheneachsubsequentmeasurementismade,the

current ﬂow and average of all prior readings will be displayed.

2.9 Burst Measurement

This setting functions in the same manner as ‘SINGLE’, but

measurements continue automatically until the preset number of

measurements has been made. Operation then ceases, and the

last reading and average are displayed.

Press‘Enter’ again to begin another preset sequence.

2.10 Continuous Measurement

This setting functions in the same manner as ‘BURST’, but new

sequences will automatically repeat until stopped by the user.

factory-presetnumber.Denethenumberofmeasurementyou

prefer, from 1 to 100, by accessing the SETUP menu.

In Continuous or Burst mode, select:

• PAUSE to terminate the current ﬂow measurement but

to leave the average ﬂow measurement and previous ﬂow

measurement on the screen. This allows you to resume

the ﬂow measurement sequence if you wish to do so.

• RESET to terminate the ﬂow measurement and clear

the screen.

3.0 Data Port

Interfacing with Optimizer®and CalCheck®
