Info
Please note that moving from a cold area to a warm
area can lead to condensation forming on the device's
circuit board. This physical and unavoidable effect can
falsify the measurement. In this case, the display
shows either no measured values or they are incorrect.
Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out
a measurement.
Switching the device on
1. Connect the hot-wire sensor to the sensor input.
2. Press the Power button(11).
ð The device is switched on.
ð The hot-wire sensor will have warmed up after
8seconds.
Measuring the air velocity
The air velocity can be indicated in 5different units:
• metres per second (m/s)
• feet per minute (ft/min)
• kilometres per hour (km/h)
• miles per hour (mph)
• nautical miles per hour in knots (kn)
1. Press the Unit button(8) until the desired unit is
displayed.
2. Press the Unit button(14) to switch between °C and
°F for the temperature indication.
3. Press the HOLD/ZERO button(10) for approx. 2s to reset
the value to zero.
4. Slide the silver-coloured sensor cover downwards to
measure the air values.
5. Then extend the sensor to the desired length.
6. At the sensor head you will find a mark in the shape of an
arrow. During the measurement it must point upwind.
ð The measured value will be indicated on the display.
ð The temperature value appears on the bottom section of the
screen.
Carrying out a multi-point averaging calculation
1. Press the MEAN button(9).
ð MEAN will be displayed. You are now in the calculation
mode for the determination of an air velocity multi-point
average value.
2. Slide the silver-coloured sensor cover downwards to
measure the air values.
3. Then extend the sensor to the desired length.
4. Press the FLOW/TEMP button(12) to start the calculation.
5. Press the Enterbutton(7).
ð The value will be saved.
ð The calculation process has been initiated.
6. Once you have reached the required number of measured
values, again press the MEANbutton(9).
ð MEAN starts flashing.
ð The calculated average value will be displayed.
In order to return to the standard measurement process, press
the MEANbutton(9) one more.
