  • Page 6 A. MEASURING AIR VELOCITY (SINGLE POINT) FEET PER MINUTE (FPM) 1. Press the ON/OFF button and turn meter on. Meter will show full display when first powered on in 5 seconds. (See Fig.1) 2. Unit is ready for use when LCD display shows "vel"...
  • Page 7 C. MIN/MAX/AVG READING ON A SINGLE POINT To obtain MIN/MAX/AVG readings on a single point. 1. Power unit ON. 2. Place sensor in front of air flow source. 3. Press MN/MX REC SINGLE-P key. The unit will begin to record the readings.
  • Page 8 Press the HOLD key before removing the unit from the air source.Press the MIN/ MAX REC SINGLE-POINT key to view the stored data which will appear in the following order : Instantaneous measurement Minimum Maximum Average To clear the current MIN/MAX average readings, turn off the power or press and hold MN/MX key until unit beeps twice, then release.
  • Page 9 Hold Fig.5 Hold Fig.5-1 Repeat this process until all desired points have been measured and recorded, A maximum of 8 points may be recorded at one time. 3. Once all measurements have been recorded press SEL/AVG key. The unit will display the average air velocity reading and number of points measured.
  • Page 10 F. HOW TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT SETTING/IMPERIAL TO METRIC Vice Versa(METRIC TO IMPERIAL) The default measuring units can be changed by following the steps below. The unit should be turned off before commencing. 1. Press and hold the SEL/AVG key, then press the ON/OFF key once to turn the unit on.
  • Page 11 3. Press the MN/MX REC key, the LCD should display "S" (See Fig.10) . Then press the HOLD key. The LCD display 2400 or 1200 (pre-setting). (If Baud rate change is needed, please refer to step G.1) (See Fig.11) Fig.10 Fig.11 4.
  • Page 13 H. AUTO POWER OFF The unit will turn off automatically after 20 minutes to save the battery. Press ON/OFF and HOLD button to disable Auto Power Off function. I. DIRECT MEASURING OF AIR FLOW (SINGLE POINT) CFM Air Velocity measurement is calculated by multiplying the air velocity readings by the free area dimensions.
  • Page 14 TO CLEAR MEMORY OF CURRENT MULTI- POINT AVERAGE READINGS. Press and hold SEL/AVG key until unit beeps twice, then release. Unit must be in velocity/FPM mode in order to clear current average readings. J. TO OBTAIN AIR FLOW (CFM) AVERAGE FOR MULTIPOINTS Simply complete steps 1~3 in D.
  • Page 15 We would suggest to set the free area dimension before you start measuring the air velocity so after you measure the air velocity, you can jump to the air flow mode to view the cubic feet per minute without further changing the free area dimension.
