Measuring Procedure

Connect the “Probe’s Plug” to the “Probe Input Socket”.
Power on the meter by push the “Power On/Off Button”.
Select the desire air velocity units and temperature units.
Zero setting:
a. On the “Sensing Head”, slide the sensor cover to the up position to let the air velocity sensor isolated from the environment.
b. Push the “Zero Button” to let reading value of air velocity shows zero value.
Slide the sensor cover to the down position, let the air velocity sensor to contact the air, refer Fig.2. Extent the telescope probe to the convenient length, refer Fig.4.
Direction of the sensor head:
There is mark on the top of the “Sensor Head”, When make the measurement, then this mark should against the measured wind, refer Fig. 4, Fig5.When sensor head face against the measurement air, then sensor head face against the measurement air, then the upper display will show the air velocity value. The lower display will show the temperature value.
