A. MEASURING AIR VELOCITY (SINGLE POINT) FEET PER MINUTE (FPM)

1. Press the ON/OFF button and turn meter on. Meter will show full display when first 

powered on.

2. Unit is ready for use when LCD display shows “vel” at upper left corner and temperature 

at lower right corner.

B. CONTINUOUS MOVING AVERAGE 

The meters displays continuous moving average for up to two (2) hours 

1. Power the unit on.
2. Place sensor in front of air flow source.
3. Press 

MIN/MAX REC

key and unit will begin to display moving average. The Meter will

record the reading every second.

4. Press 

HOLD

prior to moving instrument away from air flow source to store readings.

C. MIN/MAX/AVG READING ON A SINGLE POINT 

To obtain MIN/MAX/AVG readings on a single point:

1. Power unit on.
2. Place sensor in front of air flow source.
3. Press 

MIN/MAX REC SINGLE POINT

key. The unit will begin to record readings.

4. Press 

HOLD

prior to moving instrument away from air flow source to store readings.

a) Press the 

MIN/MAX

key once and the screen will display AVG velocity readings under

REC.

b) Press the 

MIN/MAX

key again and AVG disappears.

c) Press the 

MIN/MAX

key again to display MIN velocity readings next to REC.

d) Press the 

MIN/MAX

key again to display MAX velocity readings.

e) Press the 

MIN/MAX

key again to display current velocity.

5. To clear the current MIN/MAX average readings, turn off the power or press and hold the

MIN/MAX REC

key until unit beeps twice, then release. This will clear the stored readings.

D. AIR VELOCITY AVERAGE FOR MULTIPLE POINTS

1. Power the unit on and position the vane at the first point to be measured.
2. As soon as the first measurement is completed press the 

HOLD

key until you hear a single

beep, then release. The display will show “Hold” above the reading 

3. Press the 

MIN/MAX

key. When you will hear a single beep release the button. The display

will show a digit (1-8). This number represents the point that is being recorded.

4. Repeat this process until all desired points have been measured and recorded. A maxi-

mum of 8 points may be recorded at one time.

5. Once all measurements have been recorded press 

AVERAGE

key, The unit will display the

average air velocity reading and the number of points measured.

E. NON-SLEEP MODE - 

(BYPASS AUTO POWER OFF)

1. Power unit off 
2. Press 

ON

and 

HOLD

at the same time 

3. Release
