Wind Speed Measurement

To measure wind speed:

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Press the VEL FLOW/AREA button until 'VEL' is displayed on the screen, indicating wind speed mode.
3. Point the fan blades directly into the wind. The display will show the current wind speed.
4. Press the UNIT button to cycle through the available wind speed units: Knots, km/h, mph, m/s, ft/s, ft/min.

Air Volume Measurement (CFM/CMM/CMS)

To measure air volume:

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Press the VEL FLOW/AREA button until 'FLOW' is displayed on the screen, indicating air volume mode.
3. Before measurement, you must input the cross-sectional area of the duct or vent. Refer to the full manual for detailed instructions on entering area values.
4. Align the fan of the instrument vertically with the air outlet. The display will show the air volume.
5. Press the UNIT button to cycle through the available air volume units: CMM (Cubic meter/minute), CFM (Cubic inch/minute), CMS (Cubic meter per second).

Temperature and Humidity Measurement

The device continuously measures ambient temperature and relative humidity. These readings are displayed on the upper part of the LCD screen. Note that the temperature and humidity sensor may require at least 30 minutes to adapt to a new environment for accurate readings.

Data Hold and Max/Min Functions

• Press the HOLD MAX/MIN button once to activate the Data Hold function. The current reading will be frozen on the display. Press again to exit.
• Press and hold the HOLD MAX/MIN button for more than 2 seconds to enter the Maximum/Minimum measurement mode. The display will cycle between the maximum (MAX) and minimum (MIN) values recorded since entering this mode. Press and hold again to exit.

Auto-Shutdown Function

The device features an auto-shutdown function to conserve battery power. If no button is pressed for a certain period (typically 15 minutes), the device will automatically turn off.

• To disable auto-shutdown: While the device is off, hold the HOLD MAX/MIN button and then press the Power Button (U) for 2 or more seconds. Five beeps will confirm that auto-shutdown is disabled.

Maintenance

• Keep the device clean and dry. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
• Handle the fan blades carefully to prevent damage, as this can affect measurement accuracy.

Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on: Check if the batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Inaccurate readings: Ensure the fan blades are clean and unobstructed. Allow the temperature/humidity sensor sufficient time (approx. 30 minutes) to adapt to the environment.
• Display is dim or flickering: Replace the batteries.
• Auto-shutdown occurs too quickly: Verify if the auto-shutdown feature is enabled or disabled as desired (refer to Auto-Shutdown Function section).
