5. Иштөө нускамалары

5.1 Негизги өлчөө

Once powered on, the device will display real-time readings. Position the anemometer so that the wind flows directly through the 8-leaf wind wheel for accurate measurements. The display will show wind speed, temperature, and other selected parameters.

5.2 Бирдикти тандоо

басыңыз UNIT button to cycle through available units for wind speed (m/s, km/h, ft/min, knots, mph, fpm) and temperature (°C, °F). For airflow (CFM), the unit is typically displayed directly.

5.3 Маалыматты кармоо функциясы

басыңыз HOLD/MODE button briefly to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume real-time measurements.

5.4 Max/Min Measurement

басыңыз МАКС/МИН баскычына view the maximum or minimum recorded values during the current measurement session. Press repeatedly to cycle between MAX, MIN, and current readings.

5.5 Humidity Mode (Dew Point & Wet Bulb)

көпкө басыңыз HOLD/MODE button to switch to Humidity Mode, which displays Dew Point and Wet Bulb temperatures. Long press again to exit this mode.

5.6 FUNC Button

көпкө басыңыз FUNC button for 3 seconds to enable or disable the "Auto Power Off" feature. A short press of the FUNC button allows you to switch between different measurement modes (Wind Speed, Wind Flow, and input dimensions for CFM calculation).

5.7 CFM Measurement

The anemometer displays CFM values directly. For accurate CFM readings, ensure the device is positioned correctly within the airflow. If manual input for duct dimensions is required, use the FUNC button to access dimension settings.

7. Measurement Tips for Temperature and Relative Humidity

For accurate temperature and relative humidity (%RH) readings, consider the following:

  • The temperature sensors are located within the left and right holes of the device.
  • To ensure accurate readings, especially for temperature, shade the sensors from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure there is adequate airflow across the sensors. Without sufficient airflow, temperature and %RH readings may change slowly or inaccurately reflect the ambient conditions. Allow time for the sensors to stabilize in the measurement environment.
