Operation

Connecting the Vane

1. The vane plug is inserted in the meter’s sensor jack at the top of the

meter. The plug and jack are keyed so that the plug can only fit in the jack

one way.

2. Turn the plug carefully until it lines up with the jack and then firmly push

the plug in place. Do not apply undue force or try to twist the plug side-to-

side.

3. If the vane is not connected to the meter or if the sensor is defective, the

LCD display will indicate OL in place of a Temperature reading.

Air Velocity Measurements (Single Point)

1. Turn on the meter using the ON/OFF button.

2. Press UNITS button to select the desired unit

of measure. NOTE: At power up the meter will

display the last unit of measure previously

entered.

3. Place the sensor in the air stream. Ensure that

the air enters the vane as indicated by the

arrow sticker placed inside the vane.

4. View the readings on the LCD Display. The

large main LCD display shows the Air Velocity

reading. The upper right LCD sub-display

shows the temperature reading.

Air Flow Measurements (CMM / CFM)

1. Turn on the meter using the ON/OFF button

2. Press the UNITS button to select the desired air flow

units: CMM (cubic meters per minute) or CFM (cubic

feet per minute). NOTE: At power up the meter will

display the last unit of measure previously entered.

3. To begin entering the area in m2or ft2, press and

hold the AREA button until it beeps twice. The

leftmost digit of the bottom display will begin to flash.

4. Place the sensor in the air stream. Ensure that the

air enters the vane as indicated by the arrow sticker

placed inside the vane. Refer to the diagram. The

large main LCD display shows the Air Velocity

reading. The upper right LCD sub-display shows the

temperature reading.

The meter has 2 memory locations (1 for CFM and 1 for CMM) that can be used

to store commonly used area sizes that you can recall at anytime.

1. Press the AREA button until meter beeps twice. A memory location

number will appear in the top right of the display indicating the memory

location.

2. Use the UNITS button to change the flashing digit

Use the MAX/MIN button to move the decimal

After all of the digits are entered, press and hold the AREA button (until

it beeps twice) to save the area into memory and return to CFM or CMM

measuring mode.

Data Hold (Air Velocity/Air Flow)

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

velocity/air flow reading.

2. The HOLD indicator will appear in the bottom of the LCD display.

3. Press HOLD again to return to normal operation.

MAX/MIN/AVG Record (Air Velocity/Air Flow)

This allows the user to record and view the highest (MAX), lowest (MIN) and

average (AVG) readings.

1. Press the button MAX/MIN button. The MAX indicator and RECORD

indicator along with the Max reading will appear on the LCD display and

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

2. Press the MAX/MIN button again to view the minimum reading. The MIN

indicator along with the minimum reading will appear on the LCD display.

3. Press the MAX/MIN button again to view the average reading. The AVG

indicator along with the average reading will appear on the LCD display.

NOTE: Average recording will stop automatically after 2

hours, and the upper LCD sub-display will show an OFF (only

in the average mode).

4. Press the MAX/MIN button again to display current readings. NOTE: the

meter will keep recording MAX/MIN/AVG readings.

5. To clear and stop MAX/MIN/AVG recording and return to normal

operation, press and hold the MAX/MIN button until the meter beeps

twice.

Automatic Power OFF

To conserve battery life, the meter automatically turns off after 18 minutes. To

defeat this feature:

1. Turn the meter OFF.

2. Press and hold the (Backlight) key while turning the meter ON.

3. “dis APO” will appear in the display. The AUTO POWER OFF feature will

now be disabled.

4. Note that AUTO POWER OFF is re-enabled each time the meter is turned

on.

5. Also note that AUTO POWER OFF is disabled in CFM/CMM or Average

mode.

Battery Replacement

When appears on the LCD, the 3*1.5V AA battery must be replaced.

1. Disconnect the sensor.

2. Remove the meter’s rubber protective jacket

3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the rear battery compartment

4. Replace the 3*1.5V AA battery

5. Close the battery compartment and replace the meter’s protective jacket

Useful Equations and Conversions

Area equation for rectangular or square ducts

Area equation for circular ducts

Cubic equations

NOTE: Measurements made in inches

must be converted to feet or meters before using the above formulae.

Width (W)

Height (H)

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

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

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

Radius

Area (A) = x r2

Where = 3.14 and r2= radius x

radius
