Making Measurements
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.
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” appears on the
display and one digit will be blinking indicating that value can be changed.
3. Press the HOLD button to adjust the digit to the value needed.
4. Press the AVERAGE button to select the next digit for editing.
5. When the area is correctly entered, press the MIN MAX button once. A beep will
sound and the digits will stop blinking.
6. Press the HOLD button once to store the area value.
4
7. 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.
3. When the measurement session is complete (up to 2 hours maximum), press
the HOLD button until the beep sounds.
4. 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.
5. Press MIN MAX again to view the maximum value, the MAX indicator along
with the maximum reading will appear on the LCD display.
6. Press MIN MAX again to view the averaged value, the AVG indicator along with
the average reading will appear on the LCD display.
7. 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.
5
5. Repeat this process until up to 8 measurements have been taken.
6. Press the AVERAGE button to display the average of all the measurements.
7. 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.
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.
2. Press the HOLD button to select Metric and the AVERAGE button to select U.S.
3. Press the MIN MAX button and an "S" will appear on the LCD.
4. Press the HOLD button to advance to the next selection.
5. 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.
6. 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.
