Tripod Mounting

For stable, hands-free operation, the device features a standard tripod screw mount at its base. Attach it to a compatible tripod as needed.

Operation

Power On/Off

Press and hold the Power button (red circle with line) for approximately 2 seconds to turn the device on or off.

Backlight Control

Briefly press the Power button to activate or deactivate the display backlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions.

Wind Speed Measurement

Hold the anemometer so that the wind cup sensor at the top faces the airflow. The current wind speed will be displayed prominently on the LCD.

Changing Wind Speed Units

Press the UNIT button to cycle through the available wind speed units: meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), and Knots.

Temperature Measurement

The current ambient temperature is displayed at the bottom section of the LCD simultaneously with wind speed readings.

Changing Temperature Units

Press the °F/°C button to switch the temperature display between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

MAX/MIN/AVG Function

Press the MAX/MIN button to view the maximum, minimum, and average wind speed readings recorded since the device was powered on or the function was reset. Press the button repeatedly to cycle through these modes.

Data Hold Function

Press the HOLD button to freeze the current readings on the display. This is useful for noting down measurements. Press the button again to release the hold and resume real-time measurements.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the device exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.

Storage

When not in use for extended periods, store the anemometer in a cool, dry place. Remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage to the device.

Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on: Check battery installation. Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity and are not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Inaccurate wind speed readings: Ensure the wind cup sensor is unobstructed and rotating freely. Avoid measuring in turbulent or obstructed airflow.
• Display is blank or shows erratic readings: Check battery level. If the issue persists after replacing batteries, contact customer support.
• Backlight not working: Ensure the device is powered on. Briefly press the Power button to toggle the backlight.
