Page 11 Chapter 2 Setting-up Supplying Power to the Model TA465 Series The Model TA465 Airflow™ Instruments Air Velocity Meter can be powered in one of two ways: four size AA batteries or the AC adapter. Installing the Batteries Insert four AA batteries as indicated by the diagram located on the inside of the battery compartment.
Page 12 N O T I C E DO NOT attempt to charge alkaline batteries. Using the AC Adapter The AC adapter can be used to power the instrument or to charge the NiMH batteries when the DIP switch in the battery compartment is set to NiMH.
Page 13 Connecting Ventilation or IAQ Probes The ventilation and IAQ probes have a “D” shape overmolding on the mini-DIN connector which must align with the connector at the base of the TA465 series meter. This will ensure the probe is properly connected and remains so during use.
Page 14 DO NOT use the instrument or probes near hazardous voltage sources since serious injury could result. Using the Pressure Ports (TA465-P) The TA465-P includes pressure ports that can be used to measure static and differential pressures in ductwork. For more information, Application Note AF-107.
Page 15 When connected to a pitot probe, air velocity or air volume can be measured. A pitot probe can be connected to the “+” and “-” pressure ports on the Model TA465-P using two pieces of tubing of equal length. The total pressure port of the pitot probe connects to the “+”...
