TSI 9600 Series VelociCalc Multi-Function Ventilation Meter Datasheet

INSTRUCTION

The VelociCalc® 9600 Series Multi-Function Ventilation Meters use guided workflows programmed for professionals allowing you to customize the instrument performance to meet your needs with the touch of one button.

The high-resolution color screen displays multiple measurements simultaneously in real-time with on-screen prompts to guide you through instrument setup and operation. The VelociCalc® Multi-Function Ventilation Meter 9600 series includes a built-in workflow for calculating the percentage of outside air used to determine ventilation effectiveness in a building or room. The VelociCalc® Pro adds built-in workflows for heat flow calculation and four methodologies for performing a duct traverse. It’s ergonomic design includes a probe holder and integrated magnets allowing for attachment to exposed ductwork, chemical fume hoods and biological safety cabinet frames for hands- free operation. These instruments are available with or without a differential pressure sensor, and are designed to work with a wide range of plug-in probes.

VelociCalc® Plug-In Probes

The plug-in probes allow users to make various measurements by simply plugging in a different probe that has the features and functions best suited for a particular application. Plug-in probes for the VelociCalc® series can be ordered at any time and include a data sheet with certificate of traceability. When it’s time for servicing, only the probe needs to be returned since all the calibration data is stored within the probe.

Thermoanemometer Air Velocity Probes
TSI offers four models featuring multiple measurements in a compact, robust probe design. These telescopic probes are available in straight or articulating construction, and with or without a relative humidity sensor. Models with a relative humidity sensor can also calculate wet bulb and dewpoint temperature. Common applications include duct traversing, face velocity testing of chemical fume hoods, biological safety cabinets and HEPA filters.

Rotating Vane Anemometer Probe
The 4” (100 mm) rotating vane probe measures air velocity and temperature with flow calculation. Measurement applications include face velocity as well as air velocity in turbulent airstreams. An optional telescopic articulating probe and Aircone kit are also available.

Pitot Probes
Pitot probes are used to obtain air velocity and air volume measurements within ductwork by performing a duct traverse. Pitot probes and tubing can be connected to the models 9630 and 9650 which contain a differential pressure sensor to measure the velocity pressure and calculate air flow. Consult factory for sizes and part numbers.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Probes
A good indicator of proper ventilation is the level of CO2 present in a space. Carbon dioxide is a normal by-product of occupant respiration. Elevated levels of CO2 may indicate that additional dilution ventilation is required. IAQ probes are available to measure temperature, humidity, CO and CO2 of indoor environments. Calculations include percent outside air, wet bulb and dew point temperatures.

Probe Specifications

Specifications

1. Pressure velocity measurements are not recommended below 1,000 ft/min (5 m/s) and are best suited to velocities over 2,000 ft/min (10.00 m/s). Range can vary depending on barometric pressure.
2. Accuracy is a function of converting pressure to velocity. Conversion accuracy improves when actual pressure values increase.
3. Overpressure range = 190 in. H2O, 48 kPa (360 mmHg).
4. Temperature compensated over an air temperature range of 40 to 150 °F (5 to 65 °C).
5. The accuracy statement begins at 30 ft/min through 9,999 ft/min (0.15 m/s through 50 m/s).
6. Accuracy with instrument case at 77 °F (25 °C), add uncertainty of 0.05 °F/°F (0.03 °C/°C) for change in instrument temperature.
7. Accuracy with probe at 77 °F (25 °C). Add uncertainty of 0.1% RH/ °F (0.2% RH/ °C) for change in probe temperature. Includes 1% hysteresis.
8. At calibration temperature. Add uncertainty of ±0.28%/ °F (0.5%/ °C) for change in temperature.
9. At 77 °F (25 °C). Add uncertainty of ±0.2%/ °F (0.36%/ °C) for change in temperature.
