Sets digit to the desired value. MIN MAX View the minimum or maximum. Average or record value. AVERAGE Display the average of all the measurements. Select the next digit for editing.3 DISPLAY INDICATORS

1. Connect the sensor to the sensor input jack on top of the meter.

not, press and hold the MODE button until a beep is heard. Repeat this procedure until 'Vel' appears on the display.

4. Place the sensor in the air current to be measured.

5. View the air velocity and temperature readings on the LCD Display.

The upper display shows the air velocity reading. The lower display shows the temperature. Air Flow Measurements In order to take air flow measurements, the area of the duct under test (in ft2 or m2) must first be determined (check with the duct manufacturer if necessary). Once the area is known, enter the value as follows:

1. Turn on the meter with the ON/OFF button.

2. Press and hold the MODE button until a beep is heard. “AREA”
