A. INTRODUCTION 1. Congratulations: Thank you for purchasing TPI products. The SP555 is easy to use and built to last. It is backed by a 3 year limited warranty. 2. Product Description: The SP555 is a vane velocity "Smart Probe". It connects to your mobile device and uses the TPI View App to display air velocity, CFM, and temperature readings. B. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS 1. Never insert the sensor into hot air. 2. Never allow a foreign object into the sensor cage. The sensor may be damaged. 3. Do not expose the unit to damp environments for extended periods of time. C. SPECIFICATIONS 1 D. INSTRUMENT OVERVIEW 2 E. TAKING A MEASUREMENT 1. Download and install the TPI View App onto your mobile device. Run the App. Select the region for your area. The Main Screen will be displayed. Press and hold the SP555 On/Off key down until it turns on. Tap on "Tap to start scanning for TPI smart instruments" to discover the 555. 2. Tap on SP555 to connect to the SP555. The LED indicator will turn Green and blink to indicate a link has been established. The Live Anemometer screen will display in the App. The Volume Flow, Velocity, and Temperature will be displayed. Tapping on a reading will change the unit of measure. The bottom area allows you to select the type of duct and the size of the duct. The size of the duct is required to calculate and display the Volume Flow. 3 F. ADDITIONAL APP FEATURES 1. Swiping left at the top of the app allows access to the multi average and timed average functions. This allows traverse measurements to be made to obtain the average air velocity, flow, and temperature. 2. Tapping "Duct Details" allows the duct type (round or rectangular) and size to be set. This must be done to display air flow (CFM). Tapping the displayed readings changes the unit of measure. 3. The TPI View App includes a job management feature. Readings can be saved as a job with customer information and reports can be emailed as necessary. Reports can also be printed from your smart device using the optional A740BT Bluetooth printer. 4 G. AIR VOLUME MEASUREMENT - TRAVERSING GRILLS To do a proper airflow measurement (CFM) you should do traverse readings to obtain the true average airflow through the grill. There are two ways to perform this test using the SP555, Timed Average Traverse and Multi Average Traverse. Time based is typically easier but both are explained in the next sections. Time Average Traverse 1. Turn the SP555 on and connect it to the TPI View App. 2. Select Timed Average in the TPI View App. Determine the type and size of the duct (grill) and enter it into the View App. 3. Position the SP555 at one end of the grill. The arrow on top of the SP555 indicates the direction it should be oriented in the air flow. 4. Tap "Start Test" to begin the traverse test. 5. Move the SP555 along the grill from one end to the other. Once you reach the end tap "Stop Test". (See Picture Below) 6. The average air velocity, air flow (CFM), and temperature will be displayed. 7. A report can be created and data can be saved to a job by tapping on "Create Report". Note: Pause can be tapped to pause testing and then continued. This can be used if the SP555 needs to be re-positioned during the test. This can be helpful for large grills. 5 Multi Average Traverse 1. Turn the SP555 on and connect it to the TPI View App. 2. Select Multi Average in the TPI View App. Determine the type and size of the duct (grill) and enter it into the View App. 3. Position the SP555 at one end of the grill. The arrow on top of the SP555 indicates the direction it should be oriented in the air flow. 4. Tap "Start Test" to begin the traverse test. 5. Move the SP555 along the grill from one end to the other stopping at test points. Once stopped tap "Add to Average" to add the reading to the overall average readings. NOTE: Stop every inch or so. The more readings you add to the average the more accurate the average will be. Once you reach the end tap "Stop Test". (See Picture Below) 6. The average air velocity, air flow (CFM), and temperature will be displayed. 7. A report can be created and data can be saved to a job by tapping on "Create Report". Stop at each test point and tap "Add To Average". The more test points added the more accurate the average will be. 6 H. MAINTENANCE 1. Clean the surface of the instrument with a damp cloth. 2. Replace the three AAA batteries when the low battery indicator appears. (See page 8) I. TROUBLE SHOOTING Symptom Velocity seems inaccurate. Probable Cause · Low battery. SP565 does not turn on. · Dead or low batteries. · Not holding down power switch until unit turns on. · Defective POWER ON switch. Air velocity readings seem low · Dead or low batteries. · Protective hood not open all the way. · Sensor not turned completely into the air stream. J.
