This meter has three modes of operation: Air velocity (with temperature), thermocouple
temperature, and Air Volume (CFM/CMM). Press and hold the FUNCTION key for at least 1.5
seconds to switch from one mode to the other.
Air Velocity plus Temperature mode; meter displays An icon.
Type K or J thermocouple temperature mode (meter displays tP icon).
Air Flow (Volume CFM/CMM) meter displays F-US or F-EU depending how the meter is set up
for units of measure for area; refer to the SETUP mode for details.
Air Velocity plus Temperature Mode
1.
Select the Air Velocity and Temperature mode as described above.
2.
Connect the vane probe to the meter's probe jack (top right of meter) via the probe plug.
