3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Basic Measurement

Once powered on, the device will immediately begin measuring wind speed and temperature. The current readings are displayed on the LCD screen. Ensure the wind speed sensor (fan) is exposed to the airflow for accurate measurement.

3.2 Unit Switching

Press the UNIT button to cycle through the available wind speed units (e.g., m/s, km/h, ft/min, knots, mph) and temperature units (°C, °F).

3.3 MAX/AVG Measurement

Press the MAX/AVG button to switch between maximum (MAX) and average (AVG) wind speed readings. This allows you to capture peak wind speeds or calculate the average over a period.

3.4 Data Hold and Backlight

• Press the HOLD/BL button once to activate the data hold function, freezing the current readings on the screen. Press it again to release.
• Press and hold the HOLD/BL button for approximately 2 seconds to turn the LCD backlight on or off.

3.5 Beaufort Scale Indication

When measuring temperature, the Beaufort scale is displayed on the left side of the screen, providing a visual indication of wind force.

This image highlights the 12-level wind speed bar, also known as the wind power level dynamic indicator bar, displayed on the LCD screen of the UNI-T UT363. This feature provides an accurate and easy-to-read visual representation of the current wind force.

3.6 Cold Warning

If the ambient temperature drops below 0°C (32°F) and the wind speed exceeds 25 m/s, a "COLD" warning will automatically appear on the display to alert the user to potentially hazardous conditions.

3.7 Bluetooth Functionality (UT363BT Model)

For the UT363BT model, Bluetooth connectivity allows for data transfer to a mobile application (iENV V2.0). This app can be downloaded from Google Play or Apple App Store. The app enables further analysis, storage, and export of measurement data.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To ensure accurate readings and prolong the life of your anemometer, keep it clean. Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the wind speed sensor is free from dust and debris.

4.2 Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the LCD screen. Refer to Section 2.1 for detailed battery installation instructions. Always use new, high-quality AAA batteries.

4.3 Storage

When not in use for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 No Display or Device Not Turning On

• Check if the batteries are installed correctly with the correct polarity.
• Replace the batteries with new ones.
• Ensure the power button is pressed firmly.

5.2 Inaccurate Readings

• Ensure the wind speed sensor (fan) is clean and free from obstructions.
• Verify that the device is held in a position where airflow is unobstructed.
• Check for low battery indication; low battery can affect accuracy.
• Avoid measuring in areas with turbulent or inconsistent airflow.

5.3 Bluetooth Connection Issues (UT363BT Model)

• Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the anemometer and your smartphone.
• Make sure the iENV app is installed and updated to the latest version.
• Keep the device within the recommended Bluetooth range of your smartphone.
• Restart both the anemometer and your smartphone, then attempt to reconnect.
