Unpacking and Parts Identification Carefully unpack the instrument and accessories from the shipping container. Check the individual parts against the list of components below. If anything is missing or damaged, notify TSI immediately. 1. Carrying case 2. Instrument 3. Static pressure tip 4.
Chapter 2 Setting-up Supplying Power to the Model 9555 Series The Model 9555 V Air Velocity Meter can be powered in one of ELOCI 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.
Bluetooth devices. Select the device ”Handy700”. If the Model 9555 has previously been connected to a TSI printer, then it should automatically reconnect to that printer. If the printer prints question marks (??????), asterisks (******), or random characters, reset it by turning it off and then on again.
Chapter 3 Operation Keypad Functions ON/OFF Key Press to turn the Model 9555 on and off. During the power up sequence the display will show the following: Model Number, Serial Number, Software Revision and Last Date Calibrated. Arrow ( ) Keys Press to scroll through choices while setting a parameter.
Time Constant The time constant is an averaging period. It is used to dampen the display. If you are experiencing fluctuating flows, a longer time constant will slow down those fluctuations. The display will update every second, but the displayed reading will be the average over the last time constant period.
NOTE: The horn numbers are the models of the horns. For example, 100 refers to a horn model number AM 100. Only horns with Model numbers as follows can be used with this function: AM 100, AM 300, AM 600 and AM 1200. If a horn model number is chosen, the instrument will return to measuring mode and use a preprogrammed curve to calculate flow rate from velocity.
