473B 100 mm Vane Thermo-Anemometer Test Instrument

The Model 473B 100 mm Vane Thermo-Anemometer Test Instrument is a versatile unit that quickly and easily measures air velocity or volumetric air flow, as well as air temperature and humidity in imperial or metric units. A stainless steel 100 mm vane probe is included, which has a comfortable hand grip. The extruded aluminum housing fully protects electronics, yet is lightweight and comfortable to hold.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The unit is shipped with a separate 9 V alkaline battery which must be installed before operation. Remove the two screws holding the bottom endcap in place and remove it. Connect the battery to the enclosed battery clip, observing correct polarity. Be careful not to trap the wires between the case and the foam pad which retains the battery. This could make it difficult to install the battery or remove it later for replacement. Be sure the rubber gasket is properly seated in the gasket channel and replace the endcap. Note that the endcap will only fit one way because the holes are slightly off- center. Place the “Z” shaped wrist strap clip in one of the screw recesses and replace the screws. Do not over-tighten. Attach the wrist strap to the clip.
When battery replacement becomes necessary, use only 9 V alkaline type batteries such as Duracell® MN1604, Eveready® 522 or equivalent. Zinc-carbon types, often labeled Heavy-Duty, are not recommended because of their shorter life and an increased potential for leakage. Alkaline batteries are a better value because they last typically up to three times longer in this device.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

A weak battery may cause improper operation or inaccurate measurements. A low battery indicator ( ) is provided on the display to show when the battery needs to be replaced. Although the unit may appear to function and read properly, the accuracy of the readings cannot be guaranteed when the ( ) indicator is empty of power segments. Replace the battery with a fresh one. Do not leave an exhausted battery in the unit due to potential battery leakage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ON/OFF/LIGHT

A single press turns unit on, and a second press turns unit off. While unit is on, hold for 2 seconds to turn on the backlight. If the light is active, press once to turn the light off and another to turn the unit off.

HOLD

A single press freezes the current reading and a second press resumes live process reading.

MENU
A single press will display the menu. Hit MENU while in the main menu to go back to the home screen or while in the sub-menus to back up one level.

ENTER
When in the home screen, press to cycle through temperature, dew point, wet bulb, air velocity, and flow. While in the menu, press to enter sub-menus or values. Press and hold for 4 seconds to clear MAX, MIN, or MEM in their respective menus.

MEMORY/UP
A single press will retrieve stored data points in the memory. Each successive press will scroll to the next saved memory location ST01, ST02, etc. While in the menu, it becomes the UP button.

STORE/DOWN
A single press will store the current reading on the screen. ST01, ST02, etc. shows in the display to indicate the memory location where the reading was saved. While in the menu, it becomes the DOWN button.

AIR VOLUME/HUMIDITY/DEW POINT/WET BULB DISPLAY

In the home screen, press ENTER to cycle through temperature, dew point, wet bulb, humidity, air velocity, and flow. The primary reading of volume, flow, or humidity will remain on the top.

HOLD

HOLD will appear on the home screen when the HOLD button is pressed, indicating the process readings have been frozen.

Memory Storage and Retrieval

From the home screen, push MEMORY/UP to view all previously stored values. Cycle up or down through the stored data with the MEMORY/UP or STORE/DOWN buttons.
From the home screen, press STORE/DOWN to store data points to the memory.
For both data storage and data memory retrieval, press MENU to return to the home screen.

MENUS Maximum

Push ENTER to see the maximum recorded reading. When viewing the maximum recorded reading, hold ENTER for 4 seconds to clear. Push MEMORY/UP or STORE/ DOWN to cycle through parameters.

Minimum

Push ENTER to see the minimum recorded reading. When viewing the minimum recorded reading, hold ENTER for 4 seconds to clear. Push  MEMORY/UP or STORE/ DOWN to cycle through parameters.

Average

Press ENTER to view the AVG function. This function will adjust the process reading on the home screen to report the average reading over the period of selected time. Press MEMORY/UP or STORE/DOWN to select between 0, 30, or 60-second values. Push ENTER to store the desired value.

Memory

Press ENTER to see CLr. Hold ENTER for 4 seconds to clear all stored memory locations.

Engineering Units

Press ENTER to see current engineering units. Press MEMORY/UP or STORE/DOWN to select another unit.

Area

Press ENTER to view the current duct shape setting. rEC for rectangular or CIrCL for circular will appear. To alter between the two, push the MEMORY/UP button or STORE/DOWN buttons. If a circle duct shape is selected, press ENTER to see DIAM the diameter value. If rectangle is chosen, ENTER will allow adjustment of the XdIM and YdIM of the duct. A numeral position will blink indicating it can be adjusted with the MEMORY/UP or STORE/DOWN buttons. Hit ENTER to store a value.
Note: In metric mode, dimensions will be displayed in mm. Inches will be the value when using imperial units.

Power Management

Push ENTER to see current time offsetting. Select 30 or 10 values indicating minutes for power to automatically shut off. By selecting 0, the auto shut-off is disengaged and the unit will only turn off manually by the ON/OFF/LIGHT button.
