Frequently Asked Questions - TMA10A Amprobe

How to measure air velocity with the TMA10A?

Connect the sensor to the input jack, turn on the device with ON/OFF, make sure the Vel indicator appears, then place the sensor in the air flow. The upper display shows the speed, the lower one the temperature.

How to change measurement units (m/s, ft/min, °C, °F)?

Press and hold ON/OFF and AVERAGE simultaneously, release ON/OFF then AVERAGE. Use HOLD to select metric units and AVERAGE for imperial. Press MIN MAX to confirm and hold HOLD to return to normal operation.

How to use the data hold function (HOLD)?

During a measurement, press and hold the HOLD button until a beep: the displayed value freezes and the HOLD icon appears. To exit this mode, hold MODE until a beep.

How to record MIN, MAX and AVG values?

After starting a measurement, press MIN MAX. The REC and AVG indicators appear. To display the min value, press MIN MAX twice; for max, press again; for average, once more. To exit, hold MIN MAX until two beeps.

How to perform a multipoint average recording?

During the first measurement, hold HOLD until a beep to freeze the value. Then hold MIN MAX until a beep to record (number 1 to 8). Repeat for all 8 measurements. Press AVERAGE to display the average. To clear, hold AVERAGE until two beeps.

How to set the duct area for air flow measurement?

Turn on the device, hold MODE until a beep: the screen shows AREA and a flashing digit. Hold HOLD to adjust that digit, use AVERAGE to move to the next digit. Once the area is correct, press MIN MAX (beep), then press HOLD to store the value.

Why does the display show 'E6' and what to do?

The E6 message indicates that the sensor is not connected or is defective. Check the sensor connection to the input jack. If the problem persists, return the device or sensor for repair.

How to disable the auto power off function?

Auto power off occurs after 20 minutes. To disable it, press and hold ON/OFF and HOLD simultaneously until the auto power off symbol disappears (or until a beep). The function remains disabled until the next power cycle.

What type of battery to use and how to replace it?

Use a 9 V alkaline battery. When the display is dim or blank, remove the screw from the battery cover on the back, lift the cover, replace the battery, and close. Battery life is approximately 100 hours.

What are the possible error codes and their meanings?

The manual only mentions code E6 (sensor not connected or defective). Other codes are not documented. For issues not listed, contact Amprobe after-sales service.

Air Velocity Measurements

Air velocity and temperature measurements can be displayed on this meter in the following units of measure: ft/m (feet per minute) or m/s (meters per second) for air velocity and °F or °C for temperature.

1. Connect the sensor to the sensor input jack on top of the meter.
2. Turn on the meter using the ON/OFF button.
3. The 'Vel' indicator should appear on the upper left on the LCD. If not, press and hold the MODE button until a beep is heard. Repeat this procedure until 'Vel' appears on the display.

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

2. 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" appears on the display and one digit will be blinking indicating that value can be changed.

1. Press the HOLD button to adjust the digit to the value needed.
2. Press the AVERAGE button to select the next digit for editing.
3. When the area is correctly entered, press the MIN MAX button once. A beep will sound and the digits will stop blinking.
4. Press the HOLD button once to store the area value.
5. The meter is now ready to measure air flow. Place the sensor in the air current and view the air flow and temperature readings on the LCD.

Single Point MIN/MAX/AVG Recording

This meter can record and display the lowest (MIN), highest (MAX), and average (AVG) air velocity, air flow, and temperature readings.

1. Follow the instructions for starting air velocity or air flow measurements detailed on the previous page.
2. Press the MIN MAX button. The REC and AVG (average) indicators will appear on the display and the meter will begin recording data.

1. When the measurement session is complete (up to 2 hours maximum), press the HOLD button until the beep sounds.

2. To view the MIN reading, press the MIN MAX button twice or until the MIN indicator appears. The minimum reading will be displayed on the LCD.

3. Press MIN MAX again to view the maximum value, the MAX indicator along with the maximum reading will appear on the LCD display.

4. Press MIN MAX again to view the averaged value, the AVG indicator along with the average reading will appear on the LCD display.

5. To exit this mode, press and hold the MIN MAX button until 2 beeps are heard in rapid succession and the display indicators (REC, MIN, MAX, AVG) disappear.

Multi Point Average Recording

The meter can take up to 8 separate measurements and average them automatically.

1. Follow the instructions for starting air velocity or air flow measurements detailed on the previous page.
2. When the first measurement is taken and is on the display, press and hold the HOLD button. Release the button when the tone is heard.
3. The reading will hold and the 'HOLD' icon will appear above it on the LCD.
4. Press and hold the MIN MAX button until a tone is heard then release it. The LCD will briefly indicate a number (1 through 8) representing the current measurement number.

1. Repeat this process until up to 8 measurements have been taken.
2. Pressthe AVERAGE button to display the average of all the measurements.
3. To display the average air flow, press the MODE button to enter the area, then MODE again for air flow.
4. To exit this mode and erase all stored readings, press and hold the AVERAGE button until 2 beeps are heard. To exit without erasing readings, press the HOLD button.

Data Hold Feature

1. While taking measurements you can freeze the displayed reading by pressing and holding the HOLD button until a beep is heard.
2. The 'HOLD' indicator will appear on the LCD when the display is in this mode.
3. Press and hold the HOLD button until a beep is heard to exit this mode.

Changing the Units of Measure

U.S. units of measure are °F, ft/m (feet per minute), and CFM (cubic feet per minute). Metric units are: °C, m/s (meters per second), and CMS (cubic meters per second).

1. Turn the meter on by pressing and holding both the ON/OFF and the AVERAGE buttons simultaneously. Release the ON/OFF button first then release the AVERAGE button. The units of measure will appear on the LCD.

1. Press the HOLD button to select Metric and the AVERAGE button to select U.S.
2. Press the MIN MAX button and an "S" will appear on the LCD.
3. Press the HOLD button to advance to the next selection.
4. The baud rate for PC Interface models will appear (1200 or 2400). Select the baud rate, if necessary, by pressing the HOLD (1200) or AVERAGE (2400) button.
5. To return to normal operation, press MIN MAX again (the "S" will reappear) then press and hold the HOLD button until the beep is heard.

AUTO POWER OFF

The TMA10A Anemometer turns off automatically after 20 minutes to conserve battery power. Press the ON/OFF and HOLD buttons to disable the Auto Power Off feature.

ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAY

If the sensor is not connected to the meter or if the sensor is inoperable, the meter beeps, the error message "E6" appears on the display, and the meter shuts down. Connect the sensor or return the meter and sensor for repair.
