4.3 Connecting to the App via Bluetooth
- Long press the power button on the anemometer for over 3 seconds to turn it on.
- Open the "Intelligent Meter" app on your smartphone.
- Tap "Add Device" within the app and follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your anemometer via Bluetooth.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Measurement
- Ensure the device is powered on.
- Slide down the sensor protective cover to expose the hot-wire sensor.
- Position the sensor in the airflow you wish to measure.
- Read the measurements directly from the device's display or through the connected smartphone app.
5.2 Using the Telescopic Probe
The anemometer features a telescopic probe that extends from 320mm to 650mm. To adjust the probe angle:
- Press down on the designated button or lever near the probe's base.
- Rotate the probe to the desired angle (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, or 180°).
- Release the button/lever to lock the probe in place. This allows access to narrow pipes, air ducts, and other hard-to-reach areas.

9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery or device is off. | Charge the device using the Type-C cable. Ensure the power button is pressed for 3 seconds. |
| Cannot connect to Bluetooth app. | Bluetooth is off on phone/device, app not open, or anemometer not in pairing mode. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Open the "Intelligent Meter" app and select "Add Device". Power cycle the anemometer. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Sensor obstructed or damaged, or incorrect measurement technique. | Ensure the sensor protective cap is removed and the sensor is clean. Position the sensor correctly in the airflow. If issues persist, contact support. |
| Telescopic probe stuck. | Debris or mechanism issue. | Gently try to free the mechanism. Do not force it. Ensure the rotary switch is disengaged before attempting to rotate. |
