AP3 Wireless Thermo-Anemometer Probe

Model AP3 Wireless Thermo-Anemometer Probe
Specifications – Installation and Operating Instructions

The Series AP3 Wireless Thermo-Anemometer Probe measures air velocity, airflow, and temperature when combined with the UHH4 or newer universal handheld device, or your own mobile device. In order to prevent damage to the sensing element, the probe has a protective sleeve that slides over the sensor when it is not in use. Markings on the probe allow users to know the insertion depth to obtain better accuracy when traversing the duct.
Wireless probes can take measurements up to 50 feet away from the base unit. A bicolor LED flashes on the handle of the probe to indicate the communication status with the base unit. The battery is rechargeable via the mini-USB connector on the bottom of the probe.
NOTICE
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CHARGING BATTERY

NOTICE
It is required prior to the initial user to charge the battery for 12 hours.
When the charge of the battery is almost used up, the LED on the handle of the wireless probe will turn solid red. There is approximately 5 minutes of battery life left at this point. If the probe is not already paired to the UHH, it will not pair while in low battery condition.
Step 1: Open the USB cover on the bottom of the probe handle.
Step 2: Plug the mini-USB connector end of the cable into the probe handle.
Step 3 : Plug the USB connector end of the cable into the port on the charger or PC.
Step 4: Plug the charger into either an electrical outlet or car charging port (LED on the charger and the handle should both light up).
Step 5: The LED on the handle will turn off when fully charged.
Step 6: Remove the charger from the electrical outlet.
Step 7: Remove USB connectors from the handle and the charger.
Step 8: Replace the USB cover on the bottom of the probe handle.

BATTERY REMOVAL

If, for some reason, the wireless probe needs to be returned to Dwyer Instruments, Inc. for maintenance or repair, the rechargeable lithium-ion battery needs to be removed prior to shipping the unit. Before attempting to remove the battery ensure the probe has been powered down. To remove the battery, set the wireless probe face down on a non-abrasive surface. There are four Phillips head screws that secure the two halves of the handle together. Two are located under the serial number label at the top of the probe and two are located at the bottom of the unit. When lifting the ends of the serial label to access the screws be careful to not damage the label such that the serial number cannot be read. Remove the four screws with a suitable Phillips screw driver and set aside the back half of the housing. Remove the battery by grasping the black plastic connector on the battery wire harness and pull straight out while securing the black plastic connector on the circuit board with the other hand. Be careful to not puncture the battery as this may cause a fire. Remove the battery and set it aside. Securely replace the four screws to hold the handle of the probe together. The unit may now be packaged for shipping back to Dwyer Instruments, Inc.
