Flow velocity measurement
Hold the wheel into the air / gas ow to be measured. Allow the air / gas to ow 1.
in the direction of the arrow. The display will show the value in metres per second
(m/s).
Press the button “UNITS” to switch the display unit. The following units can be 2.
selected:
Feet per Minute (ft/min) -
Kilometres per hour (Km/h) -
Miles per hour (MPH) -
Knots (knots) -
The last unit used is memorized when the anemometer is turned off.The
anemometer continues using the unit when it is next turned on.
Air ow measurement
Press the button “UNITS” until the display unit is switched to cubic feet per minute 1.
(CFM) or cubic meter per minute (CMM).
You need to input the correct cross section area of the gas ow before the 2.
anemometer can give you the correct air ow measurement. Press and hold the
button “AREA”, after two “beep” sounds, you can input the gas ow area.
Use the button “UNITS” to change the value of the ashing digit. -
Use the button “HOLD” to move to the next digit. -
Use the button “MAX / MIN” to move the decimal point. -
Press and hold the button “AREA” to return to the measuring mode, you will hear 3.
two “beep” sounds and the gas ow area is set. The display now shows the air
ow measurement.
Ifoneofthemultipliers(x10orx100)appearsbelowthereading,multiplythe•
reading by the multiplier to obtain the correct value.
The anemometer stores the gas ow area data for CFM and CMM•
separately.Youdonotneedtoenterthegasowareaeverytimesolong
asthegasowareaisnotchanged.
Maximum, minimum and average value
During the measurement process press the button “MAX / MIN” once to display 1.
the maximum value. Press it again to display the minimum value. Press it three
times to display the average value. Press the button “MAX / MIN” four times to
return to normal measuring mode.
The word “MAX”, “MIN” or “AVG” is displayed on the screen indicating the reading 2.
is the maximum, minimum or average value. The word “REC” is displayed on the
screen indicating the anemometer is keep on updating the maximum, minimum
and average values.
After returning to normal measuring mode, the word “REC” is still shown, indicating 3.
the recording maximum, minimum and average values are still being updated in
the background.
Press and hold the button “MAX / MIN” to clear the recorded maximum, minimum 4.
and average values. Two “beep” sounds will be heard and the word “REC”
disappears if the values are cleared. Repeat the above process to start another
maximum, minimum or average value measurement.
Temperature measurement
The measured temperature is displayed on the screen. Press the temperature unit
button to change the temperature unit (ºC / ºF). The temperature sensor is inside the
ow rate sensor.
Hold
During the measurement process press the button “HOLD” to freeze the displayed 1.
value. The word “HOLD” shows on the display indicating the value is frozen.
Press the button “HOLD” again to release the reading.2.

Backlight
Press the backlight button to turn on / off the backlight.
Turn off
Press the on/off button to switch the device off. •
The anemometer turns itself off if it is not used for approx. 15 mins. This function •
can be deactivated by holding the backlight button while turning on the anemometer
with the on / off button. You will see the word “dis APO” if the auto power off function
is deactivated. The auto power off function resumes whenever the anemometer is
restarted. Thus, you need to deactivate it if you do not want it.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING7.
No maintenance is necessary for the device apart for occasional cleaning and the •
changing of the battery.
Clean the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth or brush only.•
Never use aggressive or chemical cleaning agents, since this might damage the •
surface of the housing or impair operation.

INTENDED USE1.
This product is designed to measure the temperature, ow velocity and air ow of
gases. Flow velocity can be displayed in ve different units on the display and air ow
can be displayed in two different units. Effective velocity (average speed), maximum
or minimum speed can also be displayed during the measuring process. Power is
supplied by three AAA batteries. The product is not suitable for medical or commercial
uses.
This product fulls European and national requirements related to electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC). CE conformity has been veried and the relevant statements
