probe). The backlit LCD includes primary and secondary displays plus numerous status indicators.

This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of

reliable service. Please visit our website ( ) to check for the latest version and

translations of this User Manual, Product Updates, and Customer Support.

Features

• Built-in microprocessor circuit

• Low-friction ball bearing mounted wheel provides high accuracy

• LCD with backlight for easy viewing

• Compact, light-weight, easy to use design

• Wristlet for easy one-handed operation

Safety

Please read the entire User Manual and Quick Start before operating this device. Use the meter

only as specified and do not attempt to service or open the meter housing. Do not allow children

Operation

Power

Short press the power button to power the meter ON or OFF. The meter will begin displaying

readings for the mode selected. If the LCD does not switch on, check the batteries located in the

rear battery compartment.

Backlight

The LCD is equipped with backlighting for easier viewing, especially in dimly lit areas. Press the

backlight button to turn the backlight on. The backlight will automatically turn off after 10

seconds.

Data Hold

Short press the H(hold) button to freeze or unfreeze a reading on the display. The Hicon and

the most recent reading will appear in the display. Hold function will not work while in record

mode.

Auto Power OFF (APO)

In order to conserve battery life, the meter will automatically shut off after approximately 10

minutes of inactivity. The APO icon appears in the display when APO is programmed to be ON

(see the SET function section later in this manual).

Mode

Press the mode M button to select the mode of operation. Each press of the button will step

through the three modes.

1. Air Velocity – Displays the air speed through the vane in the units selected. The AIR icon will

appear in the display. Air velocity will be displayed on the upper part of the LCD.

Air temperature will be displayed on the lower part of the LCD while in air velocity mode.

2. Air Flow – Displays the volume of air passing through a duct. The Flow icon will appear in the

display. The duct area must be entered using the SET function for proper measurements.

3. Type K Temperature – Displays the temperature. The K icon will appear in the display. A type

K thermocouple must be connected to the meter for Type K temperature displays.

Air Velocity Units

1. Select Air Velocity with the M button.

2. Press the UNIT button to step through and select the desired units.

SET Function

(APO On/Off, Temperature Units and Air Flow Units Settings)

1. Press and Hold the ▼ button for 2 seconds. The yes or no APO display will appear:

2. Press the ▲or ▼button to turn the APO ON (YES) or OFF (NO).

3. Press the Rbutton to save the selection.

4. The temperature units display will appear:

5. Press the ▲or ▼button to change the degree F or degree C units.

6. Press the Rbutton to save the selection.

7. The Air Flow units display will appear:

8. Press the ▲or ▼button to select CMM or CFM units.

9. Press the Rbutton to save the selection.

10. Short press the power button or wait approximately 10 seconds for the meter to return to

normal operation.

Setting Dimensions for Airflow Measurements

The area of the air duct in square feet or square meters must be entered to perform air flow

(volume) measurements. Remember to convert square inches or centimeters to square feet or

square meters for area measurements before continuing. See ‘Useful equations and

Conversions’ later in this manual for additional information.

1. Select Air Flow with the M button.

2. Press the SET button. F-2 (ft2) or m-2 (m2) will appear in the display depending on the air

flow units selected (CFM or CMM).

3. Press the ▲or ▼button to set the area in square feet or square meters in the display.

4. Press the Rbutton to save the value.

5. With the area values programmed, measure air flow in the duct to obtain air volume

(CFM or CMM) readings.
