Users should either send the anemometer back to the supplier or dispose it locally in accordance with the applicable local waste legislations. Indicates the date of manufacture. Page 15 of 188 User Manual MAS-100 Regulus en.docx, Version: 4.0...
The anemometer is a highly accurate measurement instrument used for adjusting and cali- brating all air samplers of the MAS-100 product family, except for the MAS-100 CG Ex and MAS-100 Atmos. Note The MAS-100 Regulus digital anemometer replaces the DA-100 NT digital an- emometer. 2.2. WORKING PRINCIPLE The anemometer works with the principle of volume displacement, same as the previous generation DA 100 NT upon which it is based.
The USB-C port below the user interface on the right connects to the MAS-100 VF air sam- pler for the calibration procedure. The USB-A port on the left is not used at present time, it is reserved for future functions. Page 17 of 188 User Manual MAS-100 Regulus en.docx, Version: 4.0...
The figure below shows the main components of the anemometer and their designation: 2.7. USER INTERFACE The user interface of the anemometer consists of the following display and operating ele- ments: Page 19 of 188 User Manual MAS-100 Regulus en.docx, Version: 4.0...
Shows the progress of the sampling interval. Every 5.5 sec- onds one corner of the rectangular sampling progress indica- tor is filled with dots and the displayed value will be updated. Page 20 of 188 User Manual MAS-100 Regulus en.docx, Version: 4.0...
