6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Basic Measurement
After powering on, the device will display real-time wind speed and temperature. Ensure the impeller is facing the airflow for accurate readings.
6.2 Unit Selection
The ANE-200W supports multiple units for wind speed and air volume.
- Press the UNIT/DOWN button to cycle through wind speed units: m/s, km/h, mph, knots, ft/min, and Beaufort scale.
- To switch between CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and CMM (Cubic Meters per Minute) for air volume, navigate to the air volume measurement mode and use the UNIT/DOWN button.
- Temperature units (Celsius/Fahrenheit) can typically be adjusted in the settings menu (refer to the detailed manual for specific steps).
6.3 MAX/MIN/AVG/HOLD Functions
- Press the SET/HOLD button briefly to activate the data hold function, freezing the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
- Press the MAX/MIN button to cycle through maximum, minimum, and average readings for the current measurement session.
6.4 Backlight Operation
Press the LIGHT/ENTER button to turn the LCD backlight on or off, improving visibility in low-light conditions.
6.5 Data Logging and Export
The ANE-200W supports data logging internally (up to 960 sets) and export via Bluetooth to the mobile app or via USB to PC software. Refer to sections 5.3 and 5.4 for connection details.
7. Maintenance
