Operating instructions AN-10 Anemometer Item no. 1662854 Intended use This product is used to measure the ow velocity of the air in wind, the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) and shows a notication of the perceived temperature under the prevailing conditions (wind chill factor). The ow velocity is shown on the display in ve different units of measure and using the Beaufort scale. Average and maximum values can be shown on the display. It has a deactivatable automatic shut-off function. Measurement values can for be frozen for extended viewing with the “Hold” function. The voltage is supplied via 3x 1.5 V AAA batteries. The product is not intended for medical or commercial use.For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product.

Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height may damage the product.• Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the product, or if you have concerns about safety.• Maintenance, modications and repairs must be carried out by a technician or a specialist repair centre.• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel. b) Batteries
• Check that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.• To prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when you do not plan to use the product for an extended period. Leaking or damaged batteries may cause acid burns if they come into contact with your skin. Always use suitable protective gloves when handling damaged batteries.• Replace the batteries if the low battery indicator (14) on the LC display (3) lights up. Ensure that the measuring device is switched off before replacing the batteries.

• To replace the batteries, proceed as outlined above. Remove the used batteries from the battery compartment before inserting new batteries. Operation a) Switching on and off

• Briey press the On/Off button (2) to switch the device on.

• Briey press the On/Off button (2) to switch the device off manually. b) Automatic shut-off The device has a deactivatable automatic shut-off function. The automatic shut-off ensures that the measuring device is automatically switched off after 5 minutes when not in use, to save battery power. The automatic shut-off function is pre-set ex works. You can deactivate and activate automatic shut-off as you prefer. Proceed as follows:

• To deactivate automatic shut-off, press and hold theHOLD BL button (8) at the same time as the On/Off button (2). “APO OFF” appears on the LC display (3) to indicate the status of the automatic shut-off. The status is now switched off. The measuring device will remain on even after 5 minutes of inactivity. The measuring device must then be switched off manually.

• Automatic switch-off is reactivated every time the device is restarted, and can be deactivated again as outlined above. c) Positioning the measuring device

• Keep the measuring device at a right angle to the direction of ow in the air ow or wind being measured. The air ow being measured should have direct and unhindered access to the air inlet (5), without obstacles being able to distort the air ow measured value. d) Flow velocity and temperature display

• The ow velocity is displayed together with the current temperature. The measuring device measures the ow velocity at a measuring interval of 0.5 seconds.

• The ow velocity measurement range is between 0 m/s and 30 m/s as standard.

• If the ow velocity of the air in the air inlet is in excess of 45 m/s, “OL” is displayed instead of the ow velocity.

• If the measured temperature is outside of the measurement range (below -10 °C or in excess of +50 °C,), “OL” is displayed instead of the temperature.

• If the measured ambient temperature is below 0 °C and the ow velocity is in excess of 5 m/s, “Wind Chill” appears on the LC display (3). e) Switching the ow velocity display between MAX and AVG

• Press the MAX AVG button (1) to switch between the maximum wind strength together with the “MAX symbol” (10), the average wind strength with the “AVG” symbol (12) and the normal/current wind strength displays.

• The “MAX”symbol (10) indicates that the displayed ow velocity value is the maximum measured; if the “AVG” symbol (12) is displayed, the value is the ow velocity calculated using the last ve values; the current wind strength is displayed when there is no additional symbol on the LC display (3).

• The “MAX” symbol (10) as well as the “AVG” symbol (12) are displayed together with the numerical values and the bar graph of the Beaufort scale (9).

• To freeze the measured value for longer comparison, press theHOLD BL button (8) briey to hold the value on the LC display (3). In release the frozen value again, press the HOLD BL button (8) briey again. f) Switching between units of measure

• Press the UNIT button (7) to cycle through the different ow velocity units of measure. Press once briey to move one step forward in the display unit setting cycle; order: m/s > km/h > ft/min > knots > mph. The current unit is displayed.

• Press and hold the UNIT button (7) for a few seconds to switch between temperature units ºC and ºF. The current temperature unit is indicated on the LC display (3). g) Backlight

• If the backlight is not switched on, press and hold the HOLD BL button (8) for a few moments to switch the backlight on. The LC display (3) is no longer illuminated.

• If the backlight is switched on, press and hold the BL button (8) for a few seconds to switch the backlight off. The LC display (3) is no longer illuminated. h) Wind chill temperature

• The perceived temperature or wind chill temperature indicates the perceived ambient temperature, which may differ from the actual temperature due to strong winds. The perceived temperature is only calculated below 0 °C with a wind speed in excess of 5.0 km/h. If the temperature is in excess of 0 °C, the wind chill temperature is the same as the measured temperature.

• If the temperature is below 0 °C and the wind speed is in excess of 5 m/s, the measuring device will indicate “Wind Chill” (23). “Wind Chill” is indicated in the lower left corner of the LC display (3). The corresponding numerical value is displayed in place of the actual temperature and represents the perceived temperature at the current wind speed. The Beaufort scale

• The Beaufort scale is an empirical scale for estimating the wind speed without using measuring instruments. It works by relating wind speed to observed conditions on sea or land, such as the movement of trees or waves on the surface of the ocean. It is named after Sir Francis Beaufort. The wind speed on land and sea is calculated in different ways. The anemometer displays measurements on the Beaufort scale from 0-12 using a bar graph. The table below provides an approximate conversion of Beaufort measurements into different units. Beaufort scale Meaning m/s kts mph km/h ft/min 0 No wind, calm

• Always disconnect the product from the power supply before cleaning it. To do this, remove the batteries.

• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these could damage the housing or stop the product from functioning properly.

• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product. Disposal a) Product Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations. Remove any inserted batteries and dispose of them separately from the product. b) Batteries You are required by law to return all used batteries (Battery Directive). Batteries must not be placed in household waste. Batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (indicated on the battery, e.g. below the waste bin icon on the left). Used batteries can be returned to local collection points, our stores or battery retailers.
