Summary

Measuring Air Velocity (FPM)

Unit Preparation for FPM Measurement

Prepares the unit by checking the LCD for 'vel' and temperature indicators.

Continuous Moving Average Air Flow

Initiating Continuous Moving Average

Steps to start and store readings for continuous moving average air flow.

Single Point Min/Max/Avg Readings

Recording Min/Max/Avg Single Point Velocity

Procedure to record and display minimum, maximum, and average velocity readings.

Clearing Min/Max/Avg Readings

How to clear stored MIN/MAX average readings by powering off or holding the key.

Air Velocity Average for Multiple Points

Averaging Air Velocity Across Multiple Points

Process for measuring and averaging air velocity at up to 8 different points.

Non-Sleep Mode Activation

Activating Non-Sleep Mode

Steps to disable the auto power off feature by holding ON and HOLD.

Changing Measurement Settings

Switching Between Imperial and Metric Units

Instructions to change units for air velocity (ft/min to m/s) and temperature (°F to °C).

Saving Unit Setting Changes

How to confirm and save the selected unit settings using the MIN/MAX REC key.

RS-232 Output Configuration

Configuring RS-232 Baud Rate

Steps to set the RS-232 baud rate, defaulting to 2400, with options for 1200.

Measuring Different Velocity Units

Selecting Imperial Velocity Units

How to cycle through ft/min, mil/h, and knots using the SEL key.

Direct Air Flow (CFM) Measurement

Setting Free Area for CFM Calculation

Procedure to input the free area dimensions for calculating CFM.

Initiating CFM Measurement

Steps to enter air flow mode after setting the free area.

Calculating Free Area

Formula for Square/Rectangular Grills

Provides formula: Length x Width ÷ 144 for calculating free area.

Formula for Round Grills

Provides formula: Radius² x π (3.1415) ÷ 144 for calculating free area.

Obtaining CFM Average for Multiple Points

Confirming Free Area Setting for CFM

Confirms the previously set free area before entering air flow mode.

Entering Air Flow Mode for Multi-Point Average

Press MODE again to enter air flow mode and display average air flow.

Measuring CFM for a Single Point

Single Point Air Flow Calculation

Measures air flow (CFM) for a single point using the default 1.111 sq ft area.

Troubleshooting and Notes
