6 Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.

6.1 General

The product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
- Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing material for children.
If you have questions which remain unanswered by this information product, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
- Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an authorised repair centre.

6.2 Handling

- Handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.

6.3 Operating environment

• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, strong jolts, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
  ■ Protect the product from direct sunlight.

6.4 Operation

• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the product.
  If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any accidental use. DO NOT attempt to repair the product yourself. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
  – is visibly damaged,
  – is no longer working properly,
  – has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
  – has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

6.5 Batteries

• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting batteries.
  The batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.
• Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
  All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in the device can lead to battery leakage and device damage.
• Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

8 Settings

8.1 Power ON / OFF

Press and hold the ⬊ button to switch the power ON/OFF.

8.2 Auto shut-off

Notes:

• Auto shut-off is active by default, it is indicated by the " symbol.
• This energy saving feature will shut power off after approximately 15 minutes of no activity.

To disable auto shut-off:

Preconditions:

√ The power is switched ON.

1. Enter hold mode. See section: Display hold.
2. Short press the button to toggle auto shut-off ON/OFF.

→ The "symbol will disappear when disabled.

1. Auto shut-off will reactivate after the power is switched OFF.

8.3 Display hold

Important:

• The display hold function freezes the display.
• The display hold should be switched OFF before taking measurements.

■ Press the HOLD button to switch display hold ON/OFF.
The "H symbol will appear when display hold is ON.

8.4 MAX / MIN / AVG display

In this mode the display shows the "MIN" (minimum), "MAX" (maximum), or "AVG" (average) values measured.

■ Press the MAX MIN AVG button repeatedly to toggle through modes: MAX → MIN → AVG.
The display will show "MAX", "MIN", or "AVG" to indicate which mode is active.

8.5 Show current temperature

1. Press the UNITS button until a temperature unit shows on the display: °C" or "°F".
2. Press and hold the UNITS button to change the unit.

→ The display will show the active unit.

9 Taking measurements

Tip:

To accurately measure wind velocity, the rotor should point directly towards the wind.

9.1 Measure wind speed

1. Press the UNITS button until a wind speed unit shows on the display: "m/s", "ft/m", "km/h", "knots", or "MPH".
2. Press and hold the UNITS button to change the unit.

→ The display will show the active unit.

9.2 Measure cross-sectional airflow

Measure cross-sectional airflow by factoring in cross-sectional area and wind velocity (e.g., airflow through a duct).

1. Press and hold the SET button to enter settings.

→ "SET AREA" will show on the display.

1. Press the UNITS button to select a unit: ft ^2 , in ^2 , m ^2 .
2. Press the MAX MIN AVG or HOLD SET button to increase / decrease the cross-sectional area.
3. Press and hold the UNITS button to save the setting.

→ "1111" will briefly appear if settings are saved, and "0000" if settings failed to save.

1. Press and hold the SET button to return to measurement mode.
2. Press the UNITS button until an airflow unit shows on the display: CFM (ft ^3 /min.) or CMM (m ^3 /min.).
3. Press and hold the UNITS button to select a unit: CFM ( m^3/min ) or CMM ( ft^3/min ).
4. Measure the airflow.

→ If the measured data exceeds 9999.0, the value will automatically scale down by 1/100.

→ "x100" will show on the display to indicate the value has been scaled down.

Formula:

$$ \mathrm{CFM} = \mathrm{ft} / \min \times \mathrm{ft} ^ {2} $$

$$ \mathrm{CMM} = \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \times \mathrm{m} ^ {2} \times 6 0 \mathrm{s} $$

$$ 1 \mathrm{CFM} = 0. 0 2 8 3 \mathrm{m} ^ {3} / \min (\mathrm{CMM}) $$

10.3 Airflow rate calculations for large areas

Airflow rate in cubic meters per minute (CMM):

$$ \mathrm{CMM} \left(\mathrm{m} ^ {3} / \min\right) = \text { wind speed } (\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}) \times \text { area } \left(\mathrm{m} ^ {2}\right) \times 6 0 $$

Airflow rate in cubic feet per minute (CFM):

$$ \text { CFM } \left(\mathrm{ft} ^ {3} / \min\right) = \text { wind speed } (\mathrm{ft} / \min) \times \text { area } \left(\mathrm{ft} ^ {2}\right) $$

11 Cleaning and care

Important:

• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions. They damage the housing and can cause the product to malfunction.

• Do not immerse the product in water.

• Clean the product with a dry, fibre-free cloth.

12 Disposal

12.1 Product

This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.

Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators, which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner before it is handed over to a collection point.

Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back of waste. Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more details on our website):

in our Conrad offices
■ at the Conrad collection points
at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG

End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.

It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in countries outside of Germany.

12.2 (Rechargeable) batteries

Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them separately from the product. According to the Battery Directive, end users are legally obliged to return all spent batteries/rechargeable batteries; they must not be disposed of in the normal household waste.

Batteries/rechargeable 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 (name on (rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).

Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection.

Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short circuit and their exposed terminals should be covered completely with insulating tape before disposal. Even empty batteries/rechargeable batteries can contain residual energy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
