INITIAL SETUP

Installing Batteries

1. Press the tab of the battery compartment cover and lift it clear.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover.

3. Insert the new batteries, ensuring correct polarity.

4. Close the battery compartment cover; ensuring it is completely and correctly
closed.

Connecting to a Computer

The Model 1227 must be connected to DataView
detailed setup instructions, see the User Manual in the USB drive that comes with the
instrument.) To connect the Model 1227 to your computer:

1. Install the DataView
Panel as an option (it is selected by default). De-select any Control Panels you
do not need.

2. If prompted, restart the computer after installation is complete.

3. Connect the instrument to the computer using a USB cable or pair with
Bluetooth.

4. Wait for the drivers to install. The drivers are installed the first time the
instrument is connected to the computer. The Windows operating system will
display messages indicating when the installation is complete.

5. Start the Data Logger Control Panel by double-clicking the Data Logger
shortcut icon in the DataView folder placed on the desktop during the

installation.

6. Click Instrument in the menu bar, and select Add an Instrument.

7. The Add an Instrument Wizard dialog box opens. This is the first of a series of
screens that lead you through the instrument connection process. The first
screen prompts you to select the connection type (USB or Bluetooth). Choose
the connection type and click Next.

8. If the instrument is identified, click Finish. The instrument is now
communicating with the Control Panel.

9. When you are finished, the instrument will appear in the Data Logger Network
branch in the Navigation frame, with a green check mark indicating a successful
connection.

Setting the Instrument’s Clock

To ensure an accurate time stamp of measurements recorded in the instrument, set the
instrument’s clock as follows:

1. Select the instrument in the Data Logger Network.

2. In the menu bar, select Instrument. In the drop-down menu that appears, click
Set Clock.

3. The Date/Time dialog box appears. Complete the fields in this dialog box. If you
need assistance, press F1.

4. When you are finished setting the date and time, click OK to save your changes
to the instrument.

INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION

In addition to setting the instrument’s clock, other basic setup tasks include:



Enabling Bluetooth (can be don e on the instrument or via DataView)



Setting measurement units to °F or °C (can be done on the instrument or via
DataView)



Changing the Auto OFF interval (requires DataView)

Detailed information for configuring the instrument via the DataView Data Logger Control
Panel is available by pressing the Help button.

Enabling Bluetooth

Long press (>2 seconds) the button to enable/disable Bluetooth.

Selecting Temperature Units

Press to toggle between °C and °F.

OPERATION

Making Measurements

Air Speed:

1. Connect the sensor to the instrument.

2. If the instrument is OFF, press and hold down the button until it turns ON.

3. Press and hold down the button. While holding this button down, short­press the button to cycle through the measurement options until VELOC

appears on the LCD.

4. While continuing to hold down , short-press to select the air speed
units of measure. Options are M/S (meters per second), F/M (feet per minute),
KM/H (kilometers per hour), and M/H (miles per hour). When the desired

measurement is displayed, release .

5. To change temperature units, short-press .

6. Hold the sensor in the air flow. The arrow on the inside of the propeller must
point in the direction of the flow. This ensures the temperature sensor faces the
incoming air, allowing it to display an accurate value more quickly.

7. The air speed and temperature measurements are displayed on the LCD. (Wait
for the measurements to stabilize before accepting the reading.)

Air Flow:

1. Press and hold down the button. While holding this button down, short-press
the button to cycle through the measurement options until the desired FLOW

setting appears on the LCD. Choices are:

In - measures incoming (blowing) air flow with a cone.
out - measures outgoing (suction) air flow with a cone.
CUSt - measures air flow without a cone. If you select this option, you must enter

the area of the ventilation regist er into the DataView Data Logger Control Panel,
as explained in step 4 below. The instrument can then calculate air flow using the
speed measurement and ventilation area setting.

2. While continuing to hold down , short-press to select the air flow units of
measure. Options are M3/S (cubic meters per second), M3/H (cubic meters per
hour), L/S (liters per second), and CF/M (cubic feet per minute). When the desired

measurement is displayed, release .

3. To change temperature units, short-press .

4. If you are using an air flow cone: Skip the remainder of this step and proceed
with step 5 below.

If you are not using a cone: Connect the instrument to a computer using
DataView. Select the instrument in the Data Logger Network and click Instrument

-> Configure. Then go to the Anemometer tab, select Custom, and enter the
area of the ventilation register. (Consult the DataView Data Logger Help system
for assistance.) When finished, place the sensor in fron t of the ventilation register,
and go to step 7 below.

5. Place the air flow measurement cone on the sensor. Depending on the
measurement you want to make (flow in or flow out), place the sensor with the
arrow pointing towards the cone (outgoing flow) or away from it (incoming flow).

6. Place the cone on the ventilation register. The arrow inside the propeller must
point in the direction of the air flow. This will be towards the o utside of the cone
for a blowing measurement, or towards the inside of the cone for a suction
measurement.

7. The air flow and temperature measurements are displayed on the LCD. (Wait for
the measurements to stabilize before accepting the reading.).

Recording Measurements

You can start and stop a recording session on the instrument. Recorded data is stored in
the instrument’s memory, and can be downloaded and viewed on a computer running the

DataView Data Logger Control Panel. You can record data by pressing the button:

5



A short press (MEM) records the current measurement(s) and date.



A long press (REC) starts the recording session. While the recording is in
progress, the symbol REC appears at the top of the display. A second long press

of stops the recording session. Note that while the instrument is recording, a
short pres s of has no effect.

To schedule recording sessions , and download and view recorded data, see the
Data Logger Control Panel Help.

Repair and Calibration

To ensure that your instrument meets factory specifications, we recommend that it be
sent back to our factory Service Center at one-year intervals for recalibration, or as
required by other standards or internal procedures.

For instrument repair and calibration:

You must contact our Service Center for a Customer Service Authorization Number
(CSA#). This will ensure that when your instrument arrives, it will be tracked and
processed promptly. Please write the CSA# on the outside of the shipping container. If
the instrument is returned for calibration, we need to know if you want a standard
calibration; or a calibration traceable to N.I.S.T. (includes calibration certificate plus
recorded calibration data).
