Introduction
The Digi-Sense Professional CFM/CMM Vane Thermoanemometer (Model
20250-15) provides precision air velocity, airflow (volume), and temperature
measurements. The large, easy-to-read backlit LCD includes primary and
secondary displays plus numerous status indicators. The meter features
16 memory locations (8 for CFM and 8 for CMM) to store and recall commonly
used area sizes. The instrument is fully tested and calibrated to NIST-traceable
standards. Careful use of this meter will provide years of reliable service.

Keypad
• POWER Press to turn the meter
ON or OFF
• MAX/MIN Used to record and store
the highest, lowest and average airflow or velocity readings.
(LEFT) also serves as change decimal point button in AREA mode
• UNITS Press to select the mode of
operation. In FLOW mode, the meter
displays air volume. In VELOCITY
mode, the meter displays air speed.
(UP) also serves as increase number button in AREA mode.
• AVG Used to Average multiple read-
ings in FLOW or VELOCITY mode.
Up to 20 readings can be averaged.
• HOLD Press to freeze the displayed
reading. Press again to unlock display. This button also functions as
the (RIGHT) scroll button in AREA
mode.
• AREA/ NEXT Press and hold to
manually enter the area of a duct in
CFM or CMM mode. In AREA mode,
used to select memory locations 1
through 8.
•
Press to turn the backlight on/off
• MAX/MIN (Temperature) Used to
record and store the highest, lowest
readings for air temperature.
• HOLD (Temperature) Press to freeze
the displayed temperature reading.
Press again to unlock the display.
Press and hold for 3 seconds to
switch between °C and °F. Meter will
beep twice to indicate change.
