    INTRODUCTION The DAFM4 Anemometer/Psychrometer is designed with 6 HVAC/R parameters in one instrument. These are included in a portable, battery- operated instrument for measuring humidity, air temperature, dew point, wet bulb, air velocity and air volume. The small vane probe includes sensors for velocity, temperature and humidity all on a telescoping extension, making in-duct and surface measurements possible.

    ) to select choice • Press EXIT to return to normal operation BASIC MEASUREMENT When the DAFM4 is first powered on, air velocity is the default display. To view other parameters press “MODE” key. Each parameter will be displayed in turn.
  • Page 6: Measuring Air Volume (Cfm Or Cmm)

    MEASURING AIR VOLUME (CFM OR CMM) Measuring air volume with the DAFM4 has two steps. The first step is to enter the characteristics of the area being measured. There are three methods to enter this and depend on the location of your measurement.

    8. Slowly move probe into the duct until it crosses the duct and contacts the far side 9. Press “STOP” to interrupt timed average. The cumulative timer will stop when the DAFM4 is not capturing data 10. Move to the next access hole and repeat steps 6~9. 11. Press MIN/MAX AVG (...
  • Page 8: Access Hole Spacing

    MEASURING AIR VOLUME CONT. We recommend the following number of access holes depending on duct size; • 18” or less – Two access holes 6” apart • 18”~30” – Five access holes • 30”~36” – Six access holes • Greater than 36” – Seven access holes ACCESS HOLE SPACING Use the Log-Tchebycheff Rule for rectangular ducts to determine spacing for access holes.

    MAINTENANCE LOW BATTERY When the low battery “ ” icon appears on the display, all readings will change to “ “ to prevent inaccurate results. Change the 9V battery located in the inner compartment on the rear of the instrument. CLEANING Periodically clean your meters case using a damp cloth (not wet) only.
