Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Extech EN510 Environmental Meter. This instrument measures Air

Velocity with Air temperature, Air Flow (volume), Light, Relative Humidity % with Air

temperature, Dew Point temperature, Web bulb temperature, Type K temperature (external

probe), Heat Index temperature, and Wind Chill temperature. The backlit LCD includes primary

and secondary displays plus a variety of intuitive status indicators. This device is shipped fully

tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service. Please visit our

website (www.extech.com) to check for the latest version and translations of this User Manual,

Product Updates, Product Registration, and Customer Support.

Meter Functions

Meter Power

•Three (3) 1.5V ‘AAA’ batteries power the meter. The battery compartment is located on the

rear of the meter secured by one flat head screw.

•Short press the power button to switch the meter ON. The meter will begin displaying

readings for the mode selected.

•Long press the power button to power OFF the meter.

Auto Power OFF (APO)

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

minutes of inactivity. Note that APO does not function while the meter is in the MAX-MIN

Recording mode (short press the Rbutton to access the MAX-MIN Recording mode).

Selecting the Operating Mode

Long press the M(Mode) button to scroll through the list of functions. When the desired mode

is displayed, release the button. See display icons with brief descriptions below:

•An Anemometer (Air Velocity plus Air temperature)

•AirFL Air flow (Volume) in CFM and CMM units

•CHiLL Wind chill temperature

•rH Relative Humidity in % and Air temperature

•dP Dew point temperature

•_Et Wet bulb temperature

•HEAt Heat index temperature

•LigHt Light intensity measurements

•tYPE Type K thermocouple temperature (must attach thermocouple to meter)

Changing the Units of Measure

1. Press and hold the R button until the word ‘Unit’ appears.

2. Now short press the power button to change the units for the selected measurement

mode.

3. Short press to save the selection and move to the secondary function, if applicable

(temperature, for example). Short press the power button to change the secondary

function units, if applicable, and then short press to save.

4. See units list below:

Air Velocity units M/S, km/h, mph, knot, FPM

Air Flow units CFM (ft3) and CMM (m3)

Temperature units oC, oF (for air, wind chill, dew point, wet bulb, heat index, and Type K)

Light units Foot-candles, LUX

EN510-en-GB_V1.0 8/17

Reversible Backlight LCD

The LCD display automatically reverses its presentation orientation depending on measurement

mode. This is to match the display orientation with the selected sensor mode (light, air velocity,

or environmental measurements such as Wet bulb temperature).

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

meter powered ON, short press the power button to turn ON the backlight. The backlight will

power OFF after several seconds.

Display Hold

Short press the H(Hold) button to freeze and unfreeze the displayed reading. The Display Hold

mode is not operational when using the MAX-MIN Recording mode.

MAX-MIN Record Mode

In this mode, the meter records the maximum and minimum readings over time.

•Short press the R(Record) button to start recording MAX/MIN readings.

•Now use short presses of the Rbutton to toggle MAX and MIN reading displays.

•Short press the Hbutton to reset MAX and MIN memories.

•Press and hold the Rbutton to exit the Recording mode.

Measurement Modes

Air Velocity with Air temperature

•With the meter ON, press and hold the M(Mode) button until ‘An’ is displayed; then release

the button.

•Hold the measurement vane in the air stream (in either direction).

•View the air velocity and air temperature readings on the LCD.

Light Measurements

•Press and hold the Mbutton until ‘LigHt’ is displayed; then release.

•Hold the meter so that the source of light fully encompasses the light sensor dome.

•View the light reading on the LCD (light readings are displayed in reverse orientation).

Type K/Wind chill/Relative Humidity/Dew point/Wet bulb/Heat index

Measurements

•Press and hold the Mbutton until the desired function is displayed:

•CHiLL Wind chill; rH Relative Humidity (with air temperature); dP Dew point; _Et Wet bulb;

HEAt Heat index; tYPE Type K thermocouple temperature (attach thermocouple to meter)

•Place the meter or type K probe in the measurement area and view the readings on the LCD.

EN510-en-GB_V1.0 8/17

Air Flow (CFM, CMM) Volume Measurements

•Press and hold the Mbutton until ‘AirFl’ appears.

•Enter the duct area (in square feet or meters) by short pressing Mand long pressing Runtil

‘m-2’ (m2) or ‘f-2’ (ft2) appears. Short press the power button to increase or Hto decrease

the area; Long press the power or Hbutton to scroll quickly. See area equations below.

•Short press to save.

•Remember to convert inches, centimeters, or other unit to square feet or square meters

before entering the area; otherwise, the air flow readings will not be correct.

•Place the vane in the air duct and read the air flow reading in CFM (ft3) or CMM (m3) units on

the LCD.

Area equation for rectangular or square ducts

Area equation for circular ducts

Cubic equations

CFM (ft3/min) = Air Velocity (ft/min) x Area (ft2)

CMM (m3/min) = Air Velocity (m/s) x Area (m2) x 60

Width (W)

Height (H)

Area (A) = Width (W) x Height (H)

Radius (r)

Area (A) =

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the low battery icon appears on the display please replace the batteries as described

below.

1. Remove power from the meter.

2. Remove the flat head screw that secures the battery compartment at the back of the

meter.

3. Open the battery compartment and replace the three (3) 1.5V ‘AAA’ batteries observing

correct polarity. Re-assemble the meter before use.

Safety: Please dispose of batteries responsibly; never dispose of batteries in a fire, batteries may

explode or leak. If the meter is not to be used for 60 days or more, remove the batteries and store

separately.

Never dispose of used batteries or rechargeable batteries in household waste.

As consumers, users are legally required to take used batteries to appropriate

collection sites, the retail store where the batteries were purchased, or wherever
