Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech Anemometer the AN10. This device measures air velocity via the attached mini‐vane sensor in units of m/s, fpm, mph, kph, and knots. The large, easy‐to‐read backlit LCD displays measurement readings and status indicators. This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service. Please visit our website (www.extech.com) to check for the latest version of this User Guide, Product Updates, and Customer Support. Safety The probe extending from the top of the meter houses the sensitive air velocity vane sensor, do not mishandle, shock, or allow liquids to come into contact with it. The probe sensor can cause personal injury if it is misused or mishandled. Use caution when handling this device. Do not allow children to handle this device or the accessories and packing materials supplied with it. The meter uses a 9V battery (installed in the rear battery compartment).
