Operation

Initialization and Zero procedures (please follow these steps before use)

Important Note: The meter’s probe locking switch must

be in the locked position (with the probe inserted) for

the meter to turn on and operate correctly. Refer to the

accompanying diagram or the diagram at the top of the

meter for switch orientation.

For the best accuracy and for proper operation, the

following steps must be performed.

1. Connect the sensor to the input jack on top of the

meter by first unlocking the sensor jack and then

inserting the sensor plug. Lock the sensor jack after

the probe is inserted.

2. Press the POWER button to turn on the meter. The meter will perform a self-test during

which the display will count down from 9999 to 0000.

3. Select the air velocity function using the FUNCTION button. The LCD will display the

most recently selected unit of measure for air velocity.

4. To change the temperature units of measure (C/F), use the advanced programming

mode discussed later in this manual.

5. Momentary presses of the UNIT button changes the air velocity units. The LCD will

reflect the selection.

6. Place the sensor cover in the up (ZERO) position (see diagram below).

7. Open the telescoping sensing antenna to a convenient length.

8. Place the sensor in the area to be measured and allow a short time for it to stabilize to

the ambient temperature.

9. To Zero the meter display, press and hold the ZERO button until the second beep.

Warning! Do not touch the air velocity or temperature thermistors inside the sensor head

while moving the sensor cover.

Air Velocity Measurements

1. Follow the Initialization and Zeroing procedures above before continuing.

2. Open the antenna to the desired length.

3. Slide the air velocity sensor cover down.

4. Press the POWER button to turn the meter on.

5. Place the sensor in the air

current to be measured.

Have the air flow meet the

sensor head in the

direction of the white dot

(as shown in diagram).

6. View the air velocity and temperature readings on the LCD Display. The large main

LCD display shows the Air Velocity reading. The lower LCD sub-display shows the

temperature reading (left) and the unit of measure (right).

7. To turn the meter off, press and hold the POWER button until the meter switches off.

Air Flow (Volume) Measurements (CMM / CFM)

NOTE: Temperature is not displayed while the meter is in the Air Flow mode.

1. Follow the steps in the Initialization and Zeroing section before continuing.

2. Select the air flow mode using the Function button. The LCD will display CMM (cubic

meters per minute) or CFM (cubic feet per minute) when Air Flow is selected.

3. Press the UNIT button momentarily to select the desired air flow units: CMM or CFM.

The LCD display will reflect the selection.

4. Calculate the area of the duct or vent under test (refer to the Useful Conversions and

Equations section in the back of this manual for assistance). Be sure to compute the

area of the vent or duct in square feet or meters. If you have the area in inches, convert

inches to feet before programming the meter with the area value.

5. Press the AREA SET button to begin entering the area in m2or ft2. The left digit will

begin flashing. Follow the steps below to enter the area of the duct or vent in question:

Use the ►button to select a digit to change (digit will flash)

Use the ▲button increase the value of the flashing digit

Use the ▼button to decrease the value of the flashing digit

6. Press the REC/Enter button and then the AREA SET button to save the new area

value

7. After the area has been entered, the new area value will be shown on the lower left of

the LCD display in ft2or m2. If the unit of measure is CFM, the area will be shown in

square feet. If the unit of measure is CMM, the area will be shown in meters squared.

8. Press the ESC button to abort the programming at any time.

9. Place the probe in the area under test. The main LCD digits will indicate the air flow in

CFM or CMM. If the CFM or CMM reading exceeds 99999, use the displayed X10

multiplier to calculate the reading.

10. To turn the meter off, press and hold the POWER button until the meter switches off.

Model 407119A Version 5.0 October 20057

AVERAGE Feature for the Air Flow Mode

In the Average mode, up to 20 readings can be stored and averaged.

1. In the Air Flow Mode (discussed earlier), press the FUNCTION button momentarily

until the AVG icon and a ‘zero’ appears on the lower LCD display line.

2. Press the AVG START button to record the current reading. A ‘1’ will appear on the

lower LCD line indicating that one reading has been stored.

3. Press the AVG START for up to a total of 20 measurements. The number on the lower

LCD line will increment with each press of the AVG START button letting the user

know how many readings are currently being averaged. Note that only the averaged

reading is shown while in this mode, not the actual reading.

4. To clear (erase) all of the currently stored readings and start again, press and hold the

AVG button until the meter beeps twice. Note that the counter resets to ‘0’ and that the

meter is ready to start another averaging session.

5. Use the FUNCTION button to exit this mode of operation.

Data Hold Feature

1. While taking measurements, press the HOLD button to freeze a reading.

2. The HOLD indicator will appear on the LCD when the display is in Data Hold mode.

3. Press HOLD again to return to normal operation.

Maximum (MAX) and Minimum (MIN) Recording

The MAX / MIN Record-Recall feature allows the user to record and view the highest and

lowest readings during a measurement session.

1. Press the REC button once. The REC indicator will appear on the display and the

meter will begin keeping track of the MAX and MIN values.

2. To view the MAX reading, press REC again. The MAX indicator along with the

maximum reading will appear on the LCD display.

3. Press REC again to view the minimum value, the MIN indicator along with the

minimum reading will appear on the LCD display.

4. To return to normal operation, press and hold the REC button for approx. 3 seconds

(until the meter beeps). The display indicators REC, MAX, and MIN will disappear.

Note: Auto Power Off is disabled in the RECORD mode.

Auto Power Off

To save battery life, the meter will automatically shut off after approximately 15 minutes of

operation. To temporarily disable this feature (until the meter’s power is cycled), press the

REC button and enter the RECORD mode. Alternatively, go to the advanced programming

section (later in this manual) for instructions on how to disable it long term.

Model 407119A Version 5.0 October 20058

Advance Programming Mode

From the Air Velocity mode of operation, press and hold the SET button until the meter

beeps and a ‘1’ is displayed. The advanced programming mode is now accessed. The

Auto Power OFF Enable/Disable and the Temperature Units selections are available in the

advanced programming mode. Use the ESC button to exit this mode at any time.

Auto Power Enable/Disable

The first parameter in the advanced mode is the Auto Power OFF enable/disable. Use the

up and down arrow keys to select the desired value. ‘0’ defeats the Auto Power OFF

feature; ‘1’ enables the Auto Power OFF feature. Momentarily press the SET button to

move to the next parameter temperature units (see below).

Temperature Units selection (C/F)

The second parameter in the advanced mode is the Temperature Units selection. Use the

up and down arrow keys to select the desired value. ‘0’ selects degrees ‘C’; ‘1’ selects

degrees ‘F’. Press the ESC button to exit the advanced programming mode.

System Reset

If the meter’s display ‘locks up’ and/or the button presses do not cause the display to

change, try a system reset. To reset the meter, use one of the following methods.

1. Move the probe lock switch from the ON to the OFF to the ON position again. Turn the

meter on.

2. While powering the meter, press the RESET switch (side compartment) using the point

of a paper clip.
