Operation

Connecting the Vane

1. The vane plug is inserted in the meter’s sensor jack at the top of the meter. The plug and jack

are keyed so that the plug can only fit in the jack one way.

2. Turn the plug carefully until it lines up with the jack and then firmly push the plug in place.

Do not apply undue force or try to twist the plug side-to-side.

3. If the vane is not connected to the meter or if the sensor is defective, the LCD display will

indicate OL in place of a Temperature reading.

Air Velocity Measurements (Single Point)

1. Turn on the meter using the ON/OFF button.

2. Press UNITS button to select the desired unit of measure.

NOTE: At power up the meter will display the last unit of

measure previously entered.

3. Place the sensor in the air stream. Ensure that the air enters

the vane as indicated by the arrow sticker placed inside the

vane.

4. View the readings on the LCD Display. The large main LCD

display shows the Air Velocity reading. The upper right LCD

sub-display shows the temperature reading.

Air Velocity Averaging Mode

1. To enter 20 Point Averaging Mode, press and hold the AVG button until it beeps twice. The

AVG icon will be displayed.

2. Take a measurement and press the AVG button. A single beep will sound and the HOLD icon

will appear in the display.

3. The average reading will be displayed and number of readings measured will appear in the

upper right hand corner of the display. After 5 seconds, the display will return to the current

reading.

4. Repeat steps 2 - 3 until the desired number of points have been measured.

5. To return to standard velocity measuring mode press and hold AVG button until meter beeps

twice.

Note: In the standard velocity measuring mode, press the AVG button once to recall the

previous average. The average will be cleared when you enter the Averaging Mode again.

Air Flow Measurements (CMM / CFM)

1. Turn on the meter using the ON/OFF button

2. Press the UNITS button to select the desired air flow units: CMM

(cubic meters per minute) or CFM (cubic feet per minute).

NOTE: At power up the meter will display the last unit of

measure previously entered.

3. To begin entering the area in m2or ft2, press and hold the AREA

button until it beeps twice. The leftmost digit of the bottom

display will begin to flash.

4. Use the ▲(UP) button to change the flashing digit

Use the ◄(LEFT) button to move the decimal

Use ►(RIGHT) button to select the other digits.

After all of the digits are entered, press and hold the AREA button (until meter beeps twice)

to save the area into memory and return to CFM or CMM measuring mode.

5. Place the sensor in the air stream. Ensure that the air enters the vane as indicated by the

arrow sticker placed inside the vane. Refer to the diagram. The large main LCD display

shows the Air Velocity reading. The upper right LCD sub-display shows the temperature

reading.

The meter has 16 memory locations (8 for CFM and 8 for CMM) that can be used to store

commonly used area sizes that you can recall at anytime.

1. Press the AREA button until meter beeps twice. A memory location number will appear in

the top right of the display indicating the memory location.

2. Push the NEXT button to scroll thru and select the desired location. Once you have selected

the desired memory location enter your dimension

Use the ▲(UP) button to change the flashing digit

Use the ◄(LEFT) button to move the decimal

Use ►(RIGHT) button to select the other digits. After all of the digits are entered, press

and hold the AREA button (until it beeps twice) to save the area into memory and return to

CFM or CMM measuring mode.

To select and use a previously stored dimension, press and hold the AREA button until it beeps

twice.

Press NEXT to scroll thru the 8 memory locations. Press and hold the AREA button until it beeps

twice to return to CFM or CMM measuring mode.

previous average. The average will be cleared when you enter the Averaging Mode again.

Data Hold (Air Velocity/Air Flow)

1. While taking measurements, press the HOLD button to freeze the air velocity/air flow

reading.

2. The HOLD indicator will appear in the bottom of the LCD display.

3. Press HOLD again to return to normal operation.

MAX/MIN/AVG Record (Air Velocity/Air Flow)

This allows the user to record and view the highest (MAX), lowest (MIN) and average (AVG)

readings.

1. Press the Airflow/Velocity MAX/MIN button. The MAX indicator and RECORD

indicator along with the Max reading will appear on the LCD display and the meter will begin

keeping track of the MAX, MIN and Average values.

2. Press the MAX/MIN button again to view the minimum reading. The MIN indicator along

with the minimum reading will appear on the LCD display.

3. Press the MAX/MIN button again to view the average reading. The AVG indicator along with

the average reading will appear on the LCD display.

4. Press the MAX/MIN button again to display current readings. NOTE: the meter will keep

recording MAX/MIN/AVG readings.

5. To clear and stop MAX/MIN/AVG recording and return to normal operation, press and hold
