5-10. Clear Memory Setting
• When the meter is in Setup mode, Press “Unit ” or “Unit ” to scroll to the clear memory setup option.
• Press “Save/Clear’’ to select the desired sample. There are three choices for selecting.
PRESS VEL FLOW: clear all pressure, velocity and ow sample data.
PRESS: clear all pressure sample data.
VEL: clear all velocity sample data.
FLOW: clear all ow sample data.
• Press “Unit ” or “Unit ” until the display show ‘’YES”, Press “Avg/Rec”, then clear the memory.
5-11. Measuring Pressure
The Primary Display number is Pressure
value, the device measures Gauge/Differential
Pressure 5000Pa, it features 5 selectable units
of measure: PSI, mbar, Pa, in H20, mmH20.
• Press “P/V/F” to enter the pressure mode
and press “Unit ” to select unit.
• Connect a single hose to the “Input (+)” port,
leaving the “Ref(-)” port unconnected.
• With the tubing open to ambient conditions
press and hold “Hold/Zero” for 2 seconds to
zero out the display.
• Place the input hose in a different zone than
the Meter.
• The Meter displays the differential pressure of
the input zone with respect to the reference
zone. For instance, a positive reading means
that the input zone is positively pressured
with respect to the Meter location or its
reference zone.

5-12. Measuring Velocity
The Meter uses standard ambient conditions (temperature=21.1°C/70°F, barometric pressure= 14.7 PSI / 1013 mbar), to
approximate actual velocity and ow. The primary display number is air velocity, the device measures air velocity, and it
features 5 selectable units of velocity measure: m/s, ft/min, km/h, MPH, knots.
• Press “P/V/F” to enter Velocity mode and press “Unit ” to select unit.
• Connect the hoses to the pitot tube and to the Meter. The “Input(+)” pressure port on the Meter connects to the white hose
from the total pressure connection of the pitot tube. The “Ref (-)” pressure port on the Meter connects to the black hose
from the static pressure connection of the pitot tube. The tubing open to ambient conditions press and hold “Hold/Zero” for
2 seconds to zero out the display.
• When make the measurement, the pitot tube tip should against the measured wind as shown in upper gure, and ensure
that the axis of the duct is aligned with the uid ow for ±10°. If Measure Velocity measures negative and show “Error” on
the display, check to make sure that the hoses are attached to the correct ports on the Meter and the pitot.
5-13. Measuring Flow
• Press “P/V/F” to enter air ow mode and press “Unit ” to select unit ..
• The Meter shows the duct shape and size. The Meter stores the last duct shape and size that is entered. If the duct is
different than the stored version, press “Setup ” button to nd the proper duct type for the measurement (rectangular or
round). Refer to Step duct shape and parameters setting .. (“Changing Setup Options.”)
Note: HOLD, Save, MIN/MAX/AVG, Zero, and Setup can be used when measuring pressure, velocity and ow.
