select the Anemometer function.
•Press the UNIT/ZERO button (fig 1-4)
to select the unit of measure: (knot, Km/
h, m/S, FPM, mph).
•Press the °C/°F button (fig 1-5) to
select Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
•Aim the AIR FLOW SENSOR (fig 1-7)
toward the source to be measured.
•Air velocity, temperature and the unit of
measure are displayed on the LCD.
2. Thermocouple Measurement
•Plug a Type K thermocouple probe
(not included) in the THERMOCOUPLE
INPUT SOCKET, making sure that the
that the polarity is correct.
•Press the FUNCTION button (fig 1-6) to
select the Thermocouple function

probe and the meter can cause inaccu-
rate results. If applicable, allow a few
minutes for the probe and meter to
adjust to the ambient temperature.
