The battery consumption rate largely depends on the measured air velocity. When the battery drops to a level requiring replacement, the indicator will start blinking. The screen may freeze if high velocity is measured after the battery level indicator starts blinking.

Page 16: Precautions For Measurements
2.3 Precautions for Measurements Direction Mark 2.3.1 Air Velocity Measurement Precautions Probe has its own directivity characteristics. Make sure that the direction mark is facing against the airflow (for details of the directivity characteristics, refer to Section 12 “Probe Directivity”). If you are not sure of the airflow Airflow direction, slowly rotate the probe and select the point where you get the maximum velocity reading,... - Page 17 <Zero Adjustment Procedure> Display Description Press key to enter the pressure measurement screen.

The test screen will then switch to the Air Velocity / Air Temperature measurement screen. The reading will be updated each second. 4.1 Changing the Measurement Mode To change the measurement mode, press the key while each measurement screen is displayed. -
Page 20: Hold The Reading
4.2 Hold the Reading Display Description While measuring, press the key to hold the current reading. HOLD mark will be displayed at the upper right of the reading while the reading is held. To recover from the hold mode, press the key again. -
Page 21: Setting The Time Constant
4.3 Setting the Time Constant When there is rapid change in the measurement data, the readings may become difficult to read. In such case, the speed of updating the readings can be reduced by changing the time constant setting. Time constant determines the time span of the moving average. When a larger (longer) time constant is selected, the readings will be rather stable, and when a smaller (shorter) time constant is selected, the readings will be more responsive and sensitive to the change. -

Page 32: Cleaning The Probe
8. Cleaning the Probe When the sensor is contaminated with impurities such as dust, particles, soot or machine oil, the heat dissipation rate will change. In most cases, heat dissipation will decrease, resulting in lower air velocity readings. This is same for the probes which are equipped with a mesh cover. The same problem will occur if the mesh is deformed, or clogged with impurities. -

Page 34: Measurement Principles
10. Measurement Principles Hot-wire Anemometer Principle When the heated air velocity sensor is exposed to airflow, the Current sensor temperature will change by the heat drawn by the airflow. Accordingly, the sensor resistance value will change. This change in the resistance value will vary largely as the air velocity Airflow increases. - Page 35 Air Temperature Measurement An air temperature element (platinum thin film element) which its resistance value changes by the air temperature is incorporated in one side of the bridge. The air temperature can be obtained by measuring the variance in the resistance value.

Page 36: Air Velocity Compensation
11. Air Velocity Compensation When the heated air velocity sensor of the instrument is exposed to airflow, the heat is drawn from the sensor. The instrument obtains air velocity readings by using this relationship between the amount of heat removed (heat dissipation) and air velocity. -
