5-5. Duct Shape and Parameters Setting When the meter is in parameters setup mode. The screen is show number of the last duct shape and size that is entered. If the duct is different than the stored version, then find the proper duct type for the measurement (rectangular or round). 5-6. Choose Duct Shape • When the meter is in setup mode, Press “Unit ” or “Unit ” to scroll to the duct shape setup option. • Press “Avg/Rec” button. The screen shows the “ ”(rectangle) or “ ”(circular). •...
5-8. Auto Power Off Mode The meter enters sleep mode (default). That is to say, the meter will automatically shut off after 20 minutes if no button press occurs for 20 minutes. When the meter is in Setup mode, the display shows SETUP. Press “Unit ” or “Unit ” 11 to scroll to the “SLP” page . Press “Avg/Rec” to indicate “On” or “OFF”. Press “Unit ” or “Unit ” until the setting you want to use appears on the display. Press “Avg/Rec’’ to store the new setting in memory. On (sleep mode on) or OFF (sleep mode off).
5-10. Clear Memory Setting • When the meter is in Setup mode, Press “Unit ” or “Unit ” to scroll to the clear memory setup option. • Press “Save/Clear’’ to select the desired sample. There are three choices for selecting. PRESS VEL FLOW: clear all pressure, velocity and flow sample data. PRESS: clear all pressure sample data. VEL: clear all velocity sample data. FLOW: clear all flow sample data.
5-12. Measuring Velocity The Meter uses standard ambient conditions (temperature=21.1°C/70°F, barometric pressure= 14.7 PSI / 1013 mbar), to approximate actual velocity and flow. The primary display number is air velocity, the device measures air velocity, and it features 5 selectable units of velocity measure: m/s, ft/min, km/h, MPH, knots. • Press “P/V/F” to enter Velocity mode and press “Unit ” to select unit. • C onnect the hoses to the pitot tube and to the Meter. The “Input(+)” pressure port on the Meter connects to the white hose from the total pressure connection of the pitot tube. The “Ref (-)” pressure port on the Meter connects to the black hose from the static pressure connection of the pitot tube. The tubing open to ambient conditions press and hold “Hold/Zero” for 2 seconds to zero out the display. •...
5-14. Displaying Temperature Ambient temperature is displayed on the secondly show as a reference. The temperature can be displayed in either °C or °F. Press “Unit ” to select unit °C or °F. 5-15. Holding the Displayed Readings • Press “Hold/Zero” to freeze the readings on the display .The display shows HOLD. • Press “Hold/Zero” again to turn off the HOLD function 5-16. Viewing the MIN, MAX, and AVG Readings • Press “MAN/MIX” to step through the maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), or the average (AVG) readings. The elapsed time since entering MAX/MIN/AVG mode, or the time at which the minimum or maximum occurred appears on the display. •...
