Operating Instructions

Power

Press the ON/OFF key to turn the meter on. The LCD will illuminate all display

indicators for approximately 2 seconds as it initializes. The meter will display "Vel" in

the upper left hand corner of the LCD when it is ready for use.

Selecting Measurement Ranges

To select a measurement range, press the UNITS key. The meter defaults to the

ft/min mode. Press the UNITS key until the desired range appears on the LCD [mi/h

(mph), knots (km/hr)].

Measurement modes

Standard Measurement Mode

This is the default mode in which the meter powers up. Measurements will appear

for air velocity and temperature on the LCD as they are measured. Other measuring

modes are discussed next.

Continuous Running Average Measurement Mode

This Anemometer has the ability to record data for up to 2 hours while displaying the

"running" average. Power the unit, place the vane sensor in front of the air source to

be measured, press the RECORD key, and the meter will begin displaying the

running average. Data is recorded once per second, and the user has up to 2 hours

before the meter memory is full.

MIN/MAX/AVG Measurement Mode

To measure the minimum, maximum, and average readings in a given period of time

perform the following steps:

1. Power the unit

2. Place the sensor in front of the air source

3. Press the RECORD key. The meter begins to record readings

4. Press the HOLD button BEFORE moving the sensor away from air source

5. Press the RECORD key once to display the reading that was on the LCD at

the time the HOLD button was pressed

6. Press RECORD again to display MIN reading

7. Press RECORD a third time to display the MAX reading.

8. Press RECORD a fourth time to display the AVG reading

9. To clear all four of these stored readings, remove power from the meter or

press and Hold RECORD until the meter beeps twice.

AUTO-POWER OFF (SLEEP MODE)

This meter is equipped with an automatic shut-off function. After 20 minutes the meter

automatically turns off (after sounding three warning beeps). Press the ON key while the

warning beeps are sounding to provide another 20 minute window. To defeat the Auto

Power Off feature, refer to the next section.

Disabling the Auto-Power OFF Feature

1. Remove power from meter.

2. Press and hold the "ON" and "Hold" keys simultaneously.

3. Release the "ON" key while continuing to press the "Hold" key.

4. An "n" will appear on the LCD indicating "non-Sleep Mode".

5. Release the "Hold" key

6. The unit's Auto-Power OFF feature has been defeated meaning that it will not

power down until the user powers down deliberately by pressing OFF button.

7. Auto Power OFF will be re-activated the next time the meter is powered.

CHANGING THE DEFAULT SETTINGS

It is possible to change the default air velocity and temperature display units and

RS232 baud rate. The default air velocity units are ft/min and the default

temperature units are degrees F. To change the default units to m/sec for air

velocity and degrees C for temperature, perform the following steps:

1. From a power down condition, press and hold the "SET-UP" key.

2. Press and release the "ON" key and at the second beep release the "SET-UP"

key.

3. The LCD will indicate Air Velocity units in the upper right hand corner and

temperature units in the right lower corner.

4. Press the "Hold" key to set the Air Velocity units to m/sec (and deg. C) or the

"SET-UP" key to set the Air Velocity units to ft/min (and deg. F).

5. Press the "RECORD" key and an "S" will appear on the meter's LCD.

6. Press the "HOLD" key to save the setting.

7. "1200" or "2400" will appear on the LCD. This is the RS232 baud rate.

8. Press the "HOLD" key to set 1200 or the "SET-UP" key to set 2400.

9. Press the "RECORD" key and an "S" will appear on the meter's LCD.

10.Press the "HOLD" key to save the setting and return to the normal operating

mode.

RS232 OPERATION

The meter will communicate with a PC via WindowsTM Hyperterminal.

1 Connect the RS232 cable from the meter jack to the PC COM port

2 Set the PC COM port settings to: Baud rate:2400, Data bits:8, Parity: none,

Stop bits: 1, Flow control: None or Xon/Xoff

3 Run the Hyperterminal program (supplied with most versions of WindowsTM

Operating Systems).

4 Data format:

T026.1C:V00.00MS or T078.2F:V00:00FTM

Where TXXX.X is the temperature in C or F and VXX:XX is the air velocity in

M/sec or Ft/min.
