2. Unit Conversion

   Use the 'UNIT' button to cycle through different wind speed units (m/s, Ft/min, Knots, km/hr, Mph) and temperature units (°C, °F).

3. Max/Min/Avg Measurement

   Press the 'MAX/MIN/AVG' button to view the maximum, minimum, or average wind speed recorded during the current measurement session.

4. Data Hold, Store, and Delete

   Use the 'HOLD' button to freeze the current reading on the display. The 'REC/RESET' button is used for recording data (up to 500 records) and resetting measurements. Refer to the full user manual for detailed instructions on data management.

5. Backlight

   Press the backlight button (often indicated by a light bulb icon) to turn the LCD backlight on or off.

Maintenance

• Battery Replacement

  When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V battery promptly to ensure accurate readings and proper device function.

• Cleaning

  Wipe the device and probe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the wind wheel free from dust and debris to maintain measurement accuracy.

• Storage

  Store the anemometer in its protective case in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on:

  Check if the battery is installed correctly and has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if necessary.

• Inaccurate readings:

  Ensure the wind wheel is clean and rotates freely. Verify that the probe is securely connected to the main unit. Avoid measuring in turbulent or obstructed airflows.

• PC connection issues:

  Ensure the USB cable is properly connected. Check if the necessary drivers are installed on your computer. Try a different USB port.

Specifications

User Tips

• For the most accurate wind speed readings, ensure the anemometer's wind wheel is fully exposed to the airflow and is not obstructed.
• When measuring wind volume, ensure you have correctly input the area of the duct or opening into the device if applicable (refer to the full PDF manual for area input instructions).
• Utilize the data hold function when taking readings in fluctuating conditions to capture a stable value.
• Regularly check the battery level, especially before critical measurements, to avoid interruptions.
