4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off
Press and hold the POWER button to turn the instrument on. To turn it off, press and hold the POWER button again until the display shuts down.
4.2 Measurement Modes
The Kanomax 6115 supports various measurement modes:
- Wind Speed: Displays air velocity in selected units (m/s, fpm, km/h, mph).
- Wind Temperature: Displays air temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
- Static Pressure: Displays pressure readings in selected units (Pa, hPa, mmHg, inH2O).
Use the MODE button to cycle through the available measurement modes.
4.3 Taking Measurements
- Select the desired measurement mode.
- Position the probe in the airflow or environment to be measured. Ensure the probe is oriented correctly for accurate readings.
- Read the values displayed on the screen. The display will update in real-time.
- Some models may feature data hold or averaging functions. Refer to the specific button labels for these features.
4.4 Unit Selection
To change measurement units (e.g., m/s to fpm for wind speed, °C to °F for temperature), refer to the instrument's settings menu, typically accessed via a SET or UNIT button.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Wipe the instrument's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the probe free from dust and debris.
